Abstract
A semiconductor die comprising a terminal structure for an active power device. The terminal structure comprises a metallic layer arranged to be electrically coupled between the active power device and an external contact of an integrated circuit package, a conductive sub-structure extending in parallel with the metallic layer, and located such that, when mounted within an integrated circuit device, the conductive sub-structure lies between the metallic layer and a reference voltage plane, and interconnecting elements extending between the metallic layer and the conductive sub-structure and electrically coupling the metallic layer to the conductive sub-structure. The plurality of interconnecting elements comprise first and second interconnecting elements extending between first and second lateral end regions of the metallic layer and the conductive sub-structure respectively such that the first and second interconnecting elements are laterally spaced with respect to the direction of travel of the fundamental signal for the active power device.
