Semiconductor devices are the cornerstone of this pillar industry, where integrated circuit chips are the internal primary component. The lead frame has the main functions of providing a mechanical support carrier for the chip, serving as a conductive medium for connecting an external circuit, transmitting an electrical signal, and dissipating heat generated during the operation of the chip to the outside, and thus becomes a very critical component. Therefore, the package is required to have a series of comprehensive properties such as high strength, high electrical conductivity, good thermal conductivity, good weldability, corrosion resistance, plastic packaging property, oxidation resistance and the like, so that the requirements on the properties of the used materials are very strict.

However, the tensile strength, hardness, elongation, conductivity and other properties of the copper alloy still cannot be low, and the requirements of the existing product on conductivity, strength, plasticity and the like cannot be met.

1) Heating and melting the electrolytic copper, and then adding a copper-iron intermediate alloy;
2) After the copper-iron intermediate alloy is melted, adding the copper-phosphorus intermediate alloy with the mass being 1/3 of that of the required copper-phosphorus intermediate alloy, and preserving heat;
