A semiconductor device that has at least one semiconductor chip attached to a leadframe made of sheet metal of unencumbered full thickness. The leadframe has leads of a first subset that alternate with leads of a second subset. The leads of the first and second subsets have elongated straight lead portions that are parallel to each other in a planar array. A cover layer of insulating material is located over portions of un-encapsulated lead surfaces. The portions of the leads of the first and second subsets that don't have the cover layer have a metallurgical configuration that creates an affinity for solder wetting.

A microelectronic assembly includes a stack of semiconductor chips each having a front surface defining a respective plane of a plurality of planes. A chip terminal may extend from a contact at a front surface of each chip in a direction towards the edge surface of the respective chip. The chip stack is mounted to substrate at an angle such that edge surfaces of the chips face a major surface of the substrate that defines a second plane that is transverse to, i.e., not parallel to the plurality of parallel planes. An electrically conductive material electrically connects the chip terminals with corresponding substrate contacts.
