A system includes a semiconductor substrate having a first cavity. The semiconductor substrate forms a pedestal adjacent the first cavity. A device overlays the pedestal and is bonded to the semiconductor substrate by metal within the first cavity. A plurality of second cavities are formed in a surface of the pedestal beneath the device, wherein the second cavities are smaller than the first cavity. In some of these teachings, the second cavities are voids. In some of these teachings, the metal in the first cavity comprises a eutectic mixture. The structure relates to a method of manufacturing in which a layer providing a mask to etch the first cavity is segmented to enable easy removal of the mask-providing layer from the area over the pedestal.

Disclosed is a device including a lead frame having a body with a top surface and a bottom surface and lead fingers. Each lead finger has a first end and a second end. A semiconductor die is coupled to the body. A first flag is a first exposed portion of the body and integral with the first end of a first lead finger. The first flag and the first lead finger are a continuous material. A second flag is a second exposed portion of the body and integral with the first end of a second lead finger. The second flag and the second lead finger are a continuous material. An encapsulant covers the die, the bottom surface of the body, the first end of the lead fingers and a portion of the top surface of the body. The flags are separated and electrically isolated from one another by the encapsulant.
