An encapsulation of laser direct structuring (LDS) material is molded onto a substrate having first and second semiconductor dice arranged thereon. Laser beam energy is applied to a surface of the encapsulation of LDS material to structure therein die vias extending through the LDS material to the first and second semiconductor dice and a die-to-die line extending at surface of the LDS material between die vias. Laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) processing is applied to transfer electrically conductive material to the die vias and the die-to-die line extending between die vias. A layer of electrically conductive material electroless grown onto the die vias and the die-to-die line facilitates improved adhesion of the electrically conductive material transferred via LIFT processing.

A protruding member is formed on a surface of the main-transistor source pad, and the first part is in contact with the protruding member.

An electronic package includes an electronic component including terminals, a plurality of surface contacts, at least some of the surface contacts being electrically coupled to the terminals within the electronic package, a mold compound covering the electronic component and partially covering the surface contacts with a bottom surface exposed from the mold compound, and a plurality of wires extending from exposed surfaces of the surface contacts, each of the wires providing a solderable surface for mounting the electronic package at a standoff on an external board.

A semiconductor package including a first lead comprising a first surface and a second surface that is opposite to the first surface, at least one semiconductor chip that is placed on the first surface of the first lead, a connecting structure body that is connected to the first lead, and a molding layer configured to cover the first lead and the semiconductor chip.

The first lead of the first semiconductor package is electrically connected to the first lead of the second semiconductor package, forming a source-source connection. The second lead of the first semiconductor package and the second lead of the second semiconductor package are arranged between the first semiconductor package and the second semiconductor package.

The present disclosure is directed to semiconductor packages manufactured utilizing a leadframe with varying thicknesses. The leadframe with varying thicknesses has a reduced likelihood of deformation while being handled during the manufacturing of the semiconductor packages as well as when being handled during a shipping process. The method of manufacturing is not required to utilize a leadframe tape based on the leadframe with varying thicknesses. This reduces the overall manufacturing costs of the semiconductor packages due to the reduced materials and steps in manufacturing the semiconductor packages as compared to a method that utilizes a leadframe tape to support a leadframe. The semiconductor packages may include leads of varying thicknesses formed by utilizing the leadframe of varying thicknesses to manufacture the semiconductor packages.

An electronic device includes a leadframe where the leadframe includes a first set of leads, a second set of leads, and conductive pads. A heat sink is attached to the conductive pads. The heat sink includes a pair of heat sink pads separated by a gap, and a die attach pad. The die attach pad has a semi-circular shape and is connected to an end of each of the pair of heat sink pads to form a U-shape. The die attach pad further includes an airgap prevention feature. A die is attached to the heat sink and wire bonds connect the die to the leadframe. A mold compound encapsulates the heat sink, the die, and the wire bonds.
