Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor package with an internal routing circuit. The internal routing circuit is formed from multiple leadframe routing layers in a plated and etched copper terminal semiconductor package by removing unwanted areas of each leadframe to create conductive paths on an associated leadframe layer of the semiconductor package.

Semiconductor package with multiple stacked leadframes and a method of manufacturing the same

A semiconductor package comprising a leadframe which includes a die paddle having an opening formed therein. In addition to the die paddle, the leadframe includes a plurality of leads, at least one of which is disposed in spaced relation to the die paddle. The remaining leads are attached to the die paddle and extend therefrom. Electrically connected to the die paddle is the source terminal of a semiconductor die which also includes a gate terminal and a drain terminal. The gate terminal is itself electrically connected to the at least one of the leads disposed in spaced relation to the die paddle. A package body at least partially encapsulates the die paddle, the leads, and the semiconductor die such that portions of the leads and the drain terminal of the semiconductor die are exposed in the package body.

Method of making a leadframe for semiconductor devices

Leadframe package for semiconductor devices

A two-lead, surface-mounting, high-power micro-leadframe semiconductor package has the same outline, mounting, and electrical functionality as industry standard leadframe packages but provides a lower internal resistance, a higher package power rating, and costs less to produce. The novel package incorporates one of a rectangular array of &ldquo;micro-leadframes&rdquo; (&ldquo;MLFs&rdquo;), each having parallel and respectively coplanar upper and lower surfaces etched in a plate having a uniform thickness. Each micro-leadframe includes an I-shaped die pad having a head, a foot, and opposite sides. First and second leads are disposed at the foot of the die pad, each having a side aligned with one of the sides of the pad. The second lead has an right-angled wire-bonding pad next to the die pad. A portion of a lower surface of each of the die pad and the leads is exposed through a lower surface of an envelope of plastic molded on the package to define package input/output terminals.
