In some examples, a semiconductor package comprises a lead frame. The lead frame includes a first row of leads; a first pad coupled to the first row of leads; a second row of leads; and a second pad coupled to the second row of leads, the first and second pads separated by a gap. The semiconductor package includes a heat-generating device coupled to the first and second pads and exposed to an exterior of the semiconductor package.

Exposed heat-generating devices

In an example, an apparatus comprises a lead frame that includes a first row of leads, a first pad coupled to the first row of leads, and a second row of leads parallel to the first row of leads. The lead frame also includes a second pad coupled to the second row of leads. The first and second pads are separated by a gap, and each of the first and second pads has a substantially uniform thickness. The apparatus also includes a device coupled to the first and second pads. The first and second pads are exposed to an exterior of the apparatus.
