Abstract: A lead frame for a semiconductor device has a die pad for supporting a semiconductor die and intermediate lead fingers extending from a periphery of the package towards the die pad, and each having a bonding end near the die pad. Outer lead fingers are located adjacent respective tie bars edges, each outer lead finger extending from the periphery of the package towards the die pad. Each outer lead finger has a transverse region coupling two spaced longitudinal regions. The two spaced longitudinal regions each have a bonding region near the die pad. A semiconductor die is attached to the die pad and bond wires electrically couple connection pads of the semiconductor die to the bonding regions of each outer lead finger. Only one of the bond wires is bonded to the bonding region of the second longitudinal region.
