Abstract: The present disclosure proposes a semiconductor device, as well as a method for manufacturing such a semiconductor device, and related to a method of generating a dual exposed drain with common gate and source clip-bonded package for reverse battery protection. The semiconductor device includes a first lead frame with an external first lead frame terminal and a first die paddle, a second lead frame with an external second lead frame terminal and a second die paddle, a common clip with an external source clip terminal, a two source contacts, a common gate clip with an external common clip gate terminal, a clip contact and a gate clip contact, a first semiconductor die with a first die gate terminal, a first die source terminal, and a first die drain terminal, a second semiconductor die with a second die gate terminal, a second die source terminal, and a second die drain terminal.

Abstract: A method of forming ice in a refrigerator is disclosed. The method includes cooling a first storage compartment to a first temperature, cooling a second storage compartment to a second temperature, cooling an interior volume defined in a door to a third temperature, wherein the door permits and impedes access to the second storage compartment, operating a fan disposed in the interior volume to circulate cool air through the interior volume, and cooling water to form ice in the interior volume.

Abstract: An ice producing apparatus for a refrigerator is disclosed. The apparatus includes a door configured to permit and prohibit access to an interior volume of a storage compartment of the refrigerator, the door defining therein a door interior volume; a fan disposed in the door interior volume; and a mold disposed in the door interior volume and configured to receive water and to retain the water during freezing of the water into ice.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a first storage compartment defining a first interior volume. A first evaporator is disposed in a first evaporator compartment and is configured to provide cool air to the first interior volume. A second storage compartment defines a second interior volume, the second interior volume configured to be cooled by cool air received from the first interior volume. A door is positionable to permit and prohibit access to the second interior volume through a front of the second interior volume. A third interior volume is defined in an interior of the door. A second evaporator is disposed in a second evaporator compartment and is configured to provide cool air to the third interior volume. An air flow channel extends from the second evaporator compartment to the third interior volume. A fan is disposed in the third interior volume. A mold is disposed in the third interior volume and is configured to receive water and to retain the water during cooling of the water.
