An example semiconductor package with reduced solder voiding is described, which has a leadframe having an I/O pad and a thermal pad, a fabricated semiconductor die having a bond pad, where the fabricated semiconductor die is attached to a top surface of the thermal pad, and a wire bond connecting the bond pad to the I/O pad, where a bottom surface of the thermal pad has channels.

Semiconductor packages with reduced solder voiding

A barrier layer can be attached in a semiconductor package to one or more sensitive devices. The barrier layer can be used to obstruct tampering by a malicious agent attempting to access sensitive information on the sensitive device. The barrier layer can cause the sensitive device to become inoperable if physically tampered. Additional other aspects of the protective packaging provide protection against x-ray and thermal probing as well as chemical and electrical tampering attempts.
