Abstract
A method of tie bar removal is provided. The method includes forming a leadframe including a tie bar and a flag. The tie bar extends from a side rail of the leadframe and has a distal portion at an angle different from a plane of the flag. A semiconductor die is attached to the flag of the leadframe. A molding compound encapsulates the semiconductor die, a portion of the leadframe, and the distal portion of the tie bar. The tie bar is separated from the molding compound with an angled cavity remaining in the molding compound.
