Electrolyte for a solid-state battery includes a body having grains of inorganic material sintered to one another, where the grains include lithium. The body is thin, has little porosity by volume, and has high ionic conductivity.

A microelectronic device, in a multirow gull-wing chip scale package, has a die connected to intermediate pads by wire bonds. The intermediate pads are free of photolithographically-defined structures. An encapsulation material at least partially surrounds the die and the wire bonds, and contacts the intermediate pads. Inner gull-wing leads and outer gull-wing leads, located outside of the encapsulation material, are attached to the intermediate pads. The gull-wing leads have external attachment surfaces opposite from the intermediate pads. The external attachment surfaces of the outer gull-wing leads are located outside of the external attachment surfaces of the inner gull-wing leads. The microelectronic device is formed by mounting the die on a carrier, forming the intermediate pads without using a photolithographic process, and forming the wire bonds. The encapsulation material is formed, and the carrier is subsequently removed, exposing the intermediate pads. The gull-wing leads are formed on the intermediate pads.

A semiconductor package includes a lead frame, a die, a discrete electrical component, and electrical connections. The lead frame includes leads and a die pad. Some of the leads include engraved regions that have recesses therein and the die pad may include an engraved region or multiple engraved regions. Each engraved region is formed to contain and confine a conductive adhesive from flowing over the edges of the engraved leads or the die pad. The boundary confines the conductive adhesive to the appropriate location on the engraved lead or the engraved die pad when being placed on the engraved regions. By utilizing a lead frame with engraved regions, the flow of the conductive adhesive or the wettability of the conductive adhesive can be contained and confined to the appropriate areas of the engraved lead or engraved die pad such that a conductive adhesive does not cause cross-talk between electrical components within a semiconductor package or short circuiting within a semiconductor package.
