A semiconductor device includes a device carrier, a first semiconductor chip mounted on the device carrier and a second semiconductor chip mounted on the device carrier. Further, the semiconductor device includes a first contact clip bonded to a first electrode of the first semiconductor chip, a second contact clip bonded to a first electrode of the second semiconductor chip and an insulating connector configured to hold the first contact clip and the second contact clip together.

In this power semiconductor module, a first lead frame and a second lead frame through which currents flow in opposite directions are arranged so as to overlap each other, whereby the internal inductance can be reduced. In a direction perpendicular to one main surface of a first metal wiring layer, each of the first lead frame and the second lead frame is provided so as not to overlap parts of end surfaces of the first metal wiring layer and a second metal wiring layer. Thus, in a manufacturing process for the power semiconductor module before sealing with sealing resin, it is possible to easily perform positioning between the lead frames and between the metal wiring layer and the lead frame, using the end surfaces, whereby the manufacturing process can be simplified.

In described examples, a microelectronic device includes a microelectronic die with a die attach surface. The microelectronic device further includes a nanoparticle layer coupled to the die attach surface. The nanoparticle layer may be in direct contact with the die attach surface, or may be coupled to the die attach surface through an intermediate layer, such as an adhesion layer or a contact metal layer. The nanoparticle layer includes nanoparticles having adjacent nanoparticles adhered to each other. The microelectronic die is attached to a package substrate by a die attach material. The die attach material extends into the nanoparticle layer and contacts at least a portion of the nanoparticles.

The present disclosure is directed to a high throughput clip bonding tool or system which is flexible and easily adapts to different clip bond pitches or sizes. The clip bonding system may be an integrated system with various modules, including a clip singulation module, a feeder module, a transfer module and a clip attach module within a shared footprint. For example, an incoming clip source may be fed to the clip singulation module for clip singulation before the singulated clips are transferred by the feeder and transfer modules to a clip presentation area for clip alignment before pickup. A pickup tool of the clip attach module is configured to facilitate pickup and attachment of clips onto the semiconductor packages to be clip bonded. For example, the pickup head is programmable to facilitate clip bonding process of different applications which may require clips and packages with different sizes.
