Abstract: The invention claimed is a packaged semiconductor device with dual exposed surfaces and a method of manufacturing the device. A thermal clip and one or multiple source pads are exposed on opposite ends of the device through a nonconductive molding material used to package the device. The thermal clip and source pad can be either top or bottom-exposed. The gate, source and drain leads are exposed through the molding material, and all leads are coplanar with the bottom-exposed surface. The device can have multiple semiconductor dies or various sized dies while still having a single, constant footprint. The method of manufacturing requires attaching the semiconductor die to a thermal clip, and then attaching the die with the attached thermal clip to a lead frame. The resulting device is then molded, marked, trimmed and singulated, in this order, creating a packaged semiconductor device with dual exposed surfaces.

Abstract: A folded frame carrier has a die attach pad (DAP) 30 and one or more folded edges 32, 33, 34, 35. Each folded edge has one or more studs 36 and each stud has a trapezoidal tip. The folded frame carrier may be made of single gauge copper or copper alloy. Multiple folded frame carriers may be formed between opposite rails of a lead frame. The folded edges are cut with a relief groove. The tips are formed in edges of the DAP and then the tips are folded upright. The tips provide electrical connection to the terminal on the rear surface of a power semiconductor mounted on the DAP.

Abstract: The semiconductor integrated circuit device comprises a planar leadframe having lead segments arranged in alternating order into first and second pluralities, the segments having their inner tips near the chip mount pad and their outer tips remote from the mount pad. The outer tips have a solderable surface. All outer tips are bent away from the leadframe plane into the direction towards the intended attachment locations on an outside substrate such that the first segment plurality forms an angle of about 70±1° from the plane and the second segment plurality forms an angle of about 75±1° (see FIG. 4). Consequently, the outer tips create a staggered lead pattern suitable for solder attachment to an outside substrate.
