In at least one aspect, a method can include shaping a block of flexible spacer material. The method can include shaping a portion of the block of flexible spacer material to receive a solid metal block. The method can include coupling the solid metal block to the portion of the block of flexible spacer material.

Structure and method related to a power module using a hybrid spacer

A power module includes a spacer block, a thermally conductive substrate coupled to one side of the spacer block, and a semiconductor device die coupled to an opposite side of the spacer block. The spacer block includes a solid spacer block and an adjacent flexible spacer block. An inner portion of the device die is coupled to the solid spacer block, and an outer portion of the semiconductor device die is coupled to the adjacent flexible spacer block.

Implementations of semiconductor packages may include: a substrate having one or more traces on a first side and one or more traces on a second side of the substrate. The substrate may be rigid. The packages may include at least one die mechanically and electrically coupled to the first side of the substrate. The die may be a high voltage die. The package may include one or more traces along one or more edges of the substrate. The one or more traces along the one or more edges of the substrate provide electrical connectivity between the one or more traces on the first side of the substrate and the one or more traces on the second side of the substrate. The package may also include a molding compound encapsulating at least the first and the one or more edges of the ceramic substrate.

Implementations of a semiconductor device package may include: a plurality of electrical contacts on a first face of a die, at least one clip electrically and mechanically coupled with at least one electrical contact on a second face of the die where the second face of the die is on an opposing side of the die from the first face of the die. The at least one clip may include at least one lead in electrical communication with the at least one electrical contact on the second face of the die. A mold compound or an encapsulating compound may be included around the die and a majority of the at least one clip where a portion of the at least one lead and a portion of the plurality of electrical contacts on the first face of the die are not overmolded or encapsulated. The semiconductor package includes no lead frame.

Single or multi chip module package and related methods

Semiconductor devices and methods of making the same

A semiconductor package. Implementations may include a lateral device that may include a lateral semiconductor device including one of interspersed and interdigitated source and drain regions and one or more gate regions, a single layer clip, and a leadframe. The single layer clip may be coupled to the one of interspersed and interdigitated source and drain regions and the one or more gate regions and to the leadframe. The single layer clip may be configured to redistribute and to isolate source, drain, and gate signals passing into and out from the lateral semiconductor device during operation of the semiconductor device package.

Semiconductor package for a lateral device and related methods

A method of forming a semiconductor device package. Implementations may include providing an adhesive tape; contacting at least one electrical contact of at least one die with an adhesive surface of the adhesive tape; mechanically and electrically coupling at least one clip with the at least one die and contacting an electrical contact of the at least one clip with the adhesive surface; one of overmolding and encapsulating the at least one die and a majority of the at least one clip with one of a mold compound and an encapsulating compound, respectively, wherein the at least one electrical contact of the at least one die and the electrical contact of the at least one clip are not one of overmolded and encapsulated, forming the semiconductor device package; removing the semiconductor device package from the adhesive surface; and including no leadframe in the package.

In one embodiment, a semiconductor package is formed to include a leadframe that includes a plurality of die attach areas for attaching a semiconductor die to the leadframe. The leadframe is positioned to overlie another leadframe that forms some of the external terminals or leads of the package.
