In one example, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate having substrate terminals and providing a component having a first component terminal and a second component terminal adjacent to a first major side of the component. The method includes providing a clip structure having a first clip, a second clip, and a clip connector coupling the first clip to the second clip. The method includes coupling the first clip to the first component terminal and a first substrate terminal and coupling the second clip to a second substrate terminal. The method includes encapsulating the component, portions of the substrate, and portions of the clip structure. the method includes removing a sacrificial portion of the clip connector while leaving a first portion of the clip connector attached to the first clip and leaving a second portion of the clip connector attached to the second clip. In some examples, the first portion of the clip connector includes a first portion surface, the second portion of the clip connector includes a second portion surface, and the first portion surface and the second portion surface are exposed from a top side of the encapsulant after the removing. Other examples and related structures are also disclosed herein.
