Abstract
A package encloses a power semiconductor die and has a package body with a package top side, package footprint side and package sidewalls. The die has first and second load terminals for blocking a blocking voltage. A lead frame structure electrically and mechanically couples the package to a support and includes an outside terminal extending out of the package footprint side and/or the sidewalls, and is electrically connected with the first load terminal. A top layer arranged at the package top side is electrically connected with the second load terminal. A creepage length between the electrical potential of the outside terminal and the electrical potential of the top layer is defined by a package body surface contour. The surface contour is formed at least by the package top side and package sidewall. At least one structural feature also forms the surface contour is configured to increase the creepage length.
