An electronic power conversion component includes an electrically conductive package base comprising a source terminal, a drain terminal, at least one I/O terminal and a die-attach pad wherein the source terminal is electrically isolated from the die-attach pad. A GaN-based semiconductor die is secured to the die attach pad and includes a power transistor having a source and a drain, wherein the source is electrically coupled to the source terminal and the drain is electrically coupled to the drain terminal. A plurality of wirebonds electrically couple the source to the source terminal and the drain to the drain terminal.

Various disclosed embodiments include a substrate, a first interposer coupled to the substrate and to a first semiconductor device die, and a second interposer coupled to the substrate and to a second semiconductor device die. The first semiconductor device die may be a serializer/de-serializer die and the first semiconductor device die coupled to the first interposer may be located proximate to a sidewall of the substrate. In certain embodiments, the second semiconductor device die may be a system-on-chip die. In further embodiments, the second interposer may also be coupled to high bandwidth memory die. Placing a serializer/de-serializer die proximate to a sidewall of a substrate allows a length of electrical pathways to be reduced, thus reducing impedance and RC delay. The use of smaller, separate, interposers also reduces complexity of fabrication of interposers and similarly lowers impedance associated with redistribution interconnect structures associated with the interposers.

A second lead frame is set onto a conductive layer and a busbar. The second lead frame has holes previously formed at opposite ends thereof, and pieces of solder material or solder pieces are inserted into the holes. Then, the solder pieces are vibrated by an ultrasonically vibrating tool, whereby the solder pieces are melted without having a high temperature. The second lead frame is thus bonded to the conductive layer and the busbar. A semiconductor element and the busbar are connected by a first lead frame and the second lead frame. The connection structure thereof is such that the second lead frame to be bonded by ultrasonic bonding or other bonding methods is not directly in contact with the semiconductor element, which eliminates the risk of damage to the semiconductor element.
