Abstract
A package includes a semiconductor die attached to a substrate and a mold body encapsulating the semiconductor die. A first portion of a lead is directly bonded to a contact pad on the semiconductor die with no intervening component between the first portion of the lead and the contact pad. A second portion of the lead extends outside the mold body to form an external terminal of the package. The lead is a dual gauge lead with the first portion of the lead having a thickness perpendicular to the contact pad that is smaller than a thickness of the second portion of the lead extending outside the mold body.
