A semiconductor device includes a pre-molded leadframe mounting substrate. The substrate includes a die pad (configured to have a semiconductor die mounted thereon) and a first electrically conductive pad and a second electrically conductive pad. A strip of insulating material is molded between the first and second electrically conductive pads to provide a mutually electrically insulation and extends in a longitudinal direction with the first electrically conductive pad and the second electrically conductive pad lying on opposite sides of the strip of insulating material. A semiconductor die is arranged on the die pad in register with the strip of insulating material. A single electrically conductive ribbon extending in register with the strip of insulating material electrically couples the semiconductor die with both the first and second electrically conductive pads to provide a common current flow path from the semiconductor die towards the first and the second electrically conductive pads.
