Abstract
Embodiments of a leadframe for a device packaging are used not only for structural support and connectivity to the I/O pins to the external world, but also for housing and/or mounting devices above and below the leadframe. Being electrically conductive, the leadframe also serves as a low resistance interconnect and good current carrier between the bondpads on one device or between the bondpads on different devices above and/or below the leadframe.
