A semiconductor package includes: a semiconductor die attached to a lead frame and having a first bond pad at a side of the semiconductor die facing away from the lead frame; a metal clip having a first bonding region attached to the first bond pad by a solder joint, the metal clip providing an electrical pathway to the first bond pad; and an additional electrical pathway to the first bond pad. A first end of the additional electrical pathway is attached to the first bond pad. At one or more locations between the first end and a second end of the additional electrical pathway, the additional electrical pathway is attached to a surface of the first bonding region of the metal clip that faces away from the first bond pad. Methods of producing the semiconductor package are also described.

Semiconductor package having a metal clip and related methods of manufacturing

A semiconductor package includes: a semiconductor die attached to a leadframe and having a first bond pad at a side of the semiconductor die facing away from the leadframe; a metal clip having a first bonding region attached to the first bond pad of the semiconductor die by a plurality of first wire bonds which extend through a plurality of first openings in the first bonding region of the metal clip, the plurality of first wire bonds forming a joint between the metal clip and the first bond pad of the semiconductor die; and a joint between the plurality of first wire bonds and the metal clip at a side of the metal clip facing away from the semiconductor die. Additional semiconductor package embodiments and related methods of manufacture are also described.

Semiconductor package with wire bond joints

A method of attaching a metal clip to a semiconductor die includes: aligning a first bonding region of the metal clip with a first bond pad of the semiconductor die; and while the first bonding region of the metal clip is aligned with the first bond pad of the semiconductor die, forming a plurality of first wire bonds to the first bond pad of the semiconductor die through a plurality of openings in the first bonding region of the metal clip, the plurality of first wire bonds forming a joint between the metal clip and the first bond pad of the semiconductor die. Additional methods and related semiconductor packages produced from such methods are also described.
