Abstract
There are disclosed herein various implementations of a compact high-voltage semiconductor package. In one exemplary implementation, such a semiconductor package includes a power transistor, as well as a drain contact, a source contact, and a gate contact to provide external connections to the power transistor. The semiconductor package also includes a contour element formed between the drain contact and the source contact in the semiconductor package. The contour element increases a creepage distance between the drain contact and the source contact in the semiconductor package so as to increase a breakdown voltage of the semiconductor package.
