Abstract: A semiconductor device has a substrate. A first die is electrically attached to a first surface of the substrate. A shield spacer having a first and second surface is provided wherein the second surface of the shield spacer is attached to a first surface of the first die. A plurality of wirebonds are attached to the shield spacer and to the substrate. A mold compound is provided for encapsulating the first die, the shield spacer, and the wirebonds.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided multiple embodiments of a semiconductor package, each embodiment including a uniquely configured leadframe sized and configured to maximize the available number of exposed leads in the semiconductor package. More particularly, each embodiment of the semiconductor package of the present invention includes a generally planar die pad and a plurality of leads. Some of these leads include exposed bottom surface portions or lands which are provided in at least one row or ring which at least partially circumvents the die pad, with other leads including portions which protrude from respective side surfaces of a package body of the semiconductor package. A passive device may be electrically connected to and extend between the die pad and one of the leads, and/or may be electrically connected to and extend between and adjacent pair of the leads.

Abstract: A semiconductor package has a substrate. An opening is formed through the substrate. A first RF shield is formed around a perimeter of the opening. A first die is attached to the first surface of the substrate and positioned over the opening.
