Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:
providing a substrate having substrate terminals;
providing a first semiconductor component having a first component terminal and a second component terminal adjacent to a first major side of the first semiconductor component;
providing a clip structure, comprising:
a first clip;
a second clip; and
a clip connector coupling the first clip to the second clip;

coupling the first clip to the first component terminal and a first substrate terminal;
coupling the second clip to a second substrate terminal;
providing an encapsulant encapsulating the first semiconductor component, portions of the substrate, and portions of the clip structure; and
removing a sacrificial portion of the clip connector while leaving a first portion of the clip connector attached to the first clip and leaving a second portion of the clip connector attached to the second clip;
wherein:
the first portion of the clip connector comprises a first portion surface;
the second portion of the clip connector comprises a second portion surface; and
the first portion surface and the second portion surface are exposed from a top side of the encapsulant after the removing.
