Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A semiconductor package, comprising:
a metallic pad and leads;
a semiconductor die including a semiconductor substrate attached to the metallic pad, and a conductor including a sacrificial fuse element above the semiconductor substrate, the sacrificial fuse element being electrically coupled between one of the leads and at least one terminal of the semiconductor die;
a shock-absorbing material over a profile of the sacrificial fuse element; and
a mold compound covering the semiconductor die, the conductor, and the shock-absorbing material, and partially covering the metallic pad and leads, with the metallic pad and the leads exposed on an outer surface of the semiconductor package,
wherein either a glass transition temperature of the shock-absorbing material or a melting point of the shock-absorbing material is lower than a melting point of the conductor.
