A method is disclosed of fabricating a microelectronic package comprising a substrate overlying the front face of a microelectronic element. A plurality of metal bumps project from conductive elements of the substrate towards the microelectronic element, the metal bumps having first ends extending from the conductive elements, second ends remote from the conductive elements, and lateral surfaces extending between the first and second ends. The metal bumps can be wire bonds having first and second ends attached to a same conductive pad of the substrate. A conductive matrix material contacts at least portions of the lateral surfaces of respective ones of the metal bumps and joins the metal bumps with contacts of the microelectronic element.

A fingerprint sensor package includes: a first substrate including a core insulating layer including a first surface and a second surface and a through-hole, a first bonding pad on the second surface, and an external connection pad between an edge of the second surface and the first bonding pad; a second substrate in the through-hole and including a third surface and a fourth surface, and including first sensing patterns on the third surface, spaced apart in a first direction, and extending in a second direction, second sensing patterns spaced apart from each other in the second direction and extending in the first direction, and a second bonding pad on the fourth surface; a conductive support electrically connecting the first bonding pad and the second bonding pad and supporting the first substrate and the second substrate; a controller chip on the second substrate; and a molding layer on the second surface.

A semiconductor device has a leadframe and a first electrical component including a first surface disposed on the leadframe. A first clip bond is disposed over a second surface of the first electrical component. The first clip bond extends vertically through the semiconductor device. The first clip bond has a vertical member, horizontal member connected to the vertical member, die contact integrated with the horizontal member, and clip foot extending from the vertical member. A second electrical component has a first surface disposed on the first clip bond. A second clip bond is disposed over a second surface of the second electrical component opposite the first surface of the second electrical component. An encapsulant is deposited around the first electrical component and first clip bond. A second electrical component is disposed over the encapsulant. The clip foot is exposed from the encapsulant.

A semiconductor device includes leads, a semiconductor element, a sealing resin covering the semiconductor element, and a heat dissipator. The semiconductor element includes first and second electrodes on a first side in a thickness direction. The leads include a first lead, a second lead, and an island lead. The semiconductor element is mounted on the first side in the thickness direction of the island lead. The first lead includes a first comb portion bonded to the first electrode and including a first face facing the first side in the thickness direction. The second lead includes a second comb portion bonded to the second electrode and including a second face facing the first side in the thickness direction. The first face is located on the first side in the thickness direction from the second face. The heat dissipator is bonded to the first face and exposed from the sealing resin.
