A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor die attached to a substrate and a metal clip attached to a side of the semiconductor die facing away from the substrate by a soldered joint. The metal clip has a plurality of slots dimensioned so as to take up at least 10% of a solder paste that reflowed to form the soldered joint. Corresponding methods of production are also described.

A semiconductor die and an electrically conductive ribbon are arranged on a substrate. The electrically conductive ribbon includes a roughened surface. An insulating encapsulation is molded onto the semiconductor die and the electrically conductive ribbon. The roughened surface of the electrically conductive ribbon provides a roughened coupling interface to the insulating encapsulation.

A package comprising a chip carrier, an electronic chip on the chip carrier, a clip on the electronic chip, an encapsulant at least partially encapsulating the electronic chip, and an electrically conductive vertical connection structure provided separately from the clip and electrically connecting the chip carrier with the clip.

A semiconductor package includes a carrier having a recess, a semiconductor die arranged on the carrier such that a first side of the semiconductor die faces the carrier, and a contact clip arranged over a second side of the semiconductor die, opposite the first side. The contact clip includes a lowered part. The lowered part is arranged in the recess.

A package comprising a chip carrier, an electronic chip on the chip carrier, a clip on the electronic chip, an encapsulant at least partially encapsulating the electronic chip, and an electrically conductive vertical connection structure provided separately from the clip and electrically connecting the chip carrier with the clip.

An etched leadframe includes separated frame portions, where each frame portion includes an intermediate region interposed between lead and die pad regions. An integrated circuit die is mounted to each die pad region. A clip is mounted to each integrated circuit die, wherein the clip includes a lead mounting portion mounted to the lead region of an adjacent frame portion and a bridge portion extending over the intermediate region of the adjacent frame portion and mounted to the die pad region of the adjacent frame portion. A first cut made through the frame portion of each etched leadframe at the intermediate region separates the lead and die pad regions without severing the bridge portion of each clip. A conductive layer is plated on full sidewalls of the lead and die pad regions exposed by the first cut. A second cut is then made through the bridge portion of each clip.
