Methods of forming semiconductor packages include providing a lead frame having leads and no tie-bars. Tape is attached to the lead frame and one or more semiconductor die are coupled therewith. Electrical contacts of the die are interconnected with the leads using electrical connectors. An encapsulated assembly is formed by at least partially encapsulating the die and electrical connectors. The assembly is singulated to form a semiconductor package. The tape is detached from the package or encapsulated assembly. One or more die attach flags may be attached to the tape and the die may be attached thereto. Semiconductor packages formed using the methods include one or more semiconductor die at least partially encapsulated, pins exposed through the encapsulant, electrical connectors within the encapsulant and electrically interconnecting the pins with electrical contacts of the die, and no tie-bars coupling the die with the pins. Packages may also include die attach flags.

Semiconductor package structures and methods of manufacture

Implementations of semiconductor packages may include: a substrate having one or more traces on a first side and one or more traces on a second side of the substrate. The substrate may be rigid. The packages may include at least one die mechanically and electrically coupled to the first side of the substrate. The die may be a high voltage die. The package may include one or more traces along one or more edges of the substrate. The one or more traces along the one or more edges of the substrate provide electrical connectivity between the one or more traces on the first side of the substrate and the one or more traces on the second side of the substrate. The package may also include a molding compound encapsulating at least the first and the one or more edges of the ceramic substrate.
