A plurality of bumps may be formed on a plurality of contact regions of a leadframe or on the posts, in which the plurality of bumps are formed with a material that includes metal nanoparticles. The IC die may be attached to the leadframe by aligning the metal posts to the leadframe and sintering the metal nanoparticles in the plurality of bumps to form a sintered metal bond between each metal post and corresponding contact region of the leadframe.
