Abstract: A process for fabricating an integrated circuit package includes selectively etching a leadframe strip to define a die attach pad and a plurality of contact pads. At least one side of the die attach pad has a plurality of spaced apart pad portions. A semiconductor die is mounted to the die attach pad and wires are bonded from the semiconductor die to respective ones of the contact pads. A first surface of the leadframe strip, including the semiconductor die and wire bonds, is encapsulated in a molding material such that at least one surface of the leadframe strip is exposed. The integrated circuit package is singulated from a remainder of the leadframe strip.
