Abstract: A process for fabricating an integrated circuit package. At least a first side of a leadframe strip is selectively etched to define portions of a die attach pad and at least one row of contacts adjacent the die attach pad. A carrier strip is laminated to the first side of the leadframe strip and a second side of the leadframe strip is selectively etched to thereby define a remainder of the die attach pad and the at least one row of contacts. A semiconductor die is mounted to the die attach pad, on the second side of the leadframe strip and the semiconductor die is wire bonded to ones of the contacts. The second side of the leadframe strip is encapsulating, including the semiconductor die and wire bonds, in a molding material. The carrier strip is removed from the leadframe strip and the integrated circuit package is singulated from a remainder of the leadframe strip.
