  • Publication number: 20260040960
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a leadframe, where the leadframe includes inner leads, external leads, and die attach portions. The leadframe has channels defined at a junction between the die attach portions and the inner leads, where the channel mitigates crack propagation along a path of the die attach portions. A die assembly is attached to the die attach portions and copper pillars are provided to connect the die assembly to the die attach portions. A mold compound encapsulates the die assembly, the inner leads, the die attach portions, and the copper pillars.
