An axially-mountable device includes a semiconductor chip comprising lower and upper electrical contacts. A lower die pad is electrically and mechanically connected to the lower electrical contact of the chip. An upper die pad is electrically and mechanically connected to the upper electrical contact of the chip. A first axially extending electrical lead is electrically and mechanically connected to the upper die pad and extends in a first axial direction. A second axially extending electrical lead is electrically and mechanically connected to the lower die pad and extends in a second axial direction that is opposite to the first axial direction. Packaging material encapsulates the semiconductor chip, the upper and lower die pads and a portion of the first and second axially extending leads. The first and second leads extend from the packaging material and are adapted to allow the device to be axially-mounted with another electrical component.

A semiconductor assembly includes a first subassembly comprising a heat sink and a first patterned polymer layer disposed on a surface of the heat sink to define an exposed portion of the first surface. The exposed portion of the first surface extends radially inward along the heat sink surface from the first layer. The subassembly also includes a second patterned polymer layer disposed on a radially outer portion of the first patterned polymer layer. The first and second layers define a cell for accommodating a power semiconductor die. Solder material is disposed on the exposed portion of the heat sink surface and in the cell. A power semiconductor die is located within the cell on a radially inward portion of the first layer and thermally coupled to the heat sink by the solder material.
