Claim 17:
18. A method comprising:
receiving a semiconductor die;
receiving a leadframe including a lead post;
receiving a clip frame holding a primary clip by tie bars attached to the primary clip, the primary clip including an aligner structure configured to attach the primary clip to the lead post and a flat die contact portion coupled to the clip aligner structure, the flat die contact portion having a first width, the primary clip being severable into at least a secondary clip, the secondary clip including a part of flat die contact portion having a second width;
determining a width of a contact pad on the semiconductor die;
when the width of the contact pad matches the first width of the flat die contact portion of the primary clip, extracting the primary clip from the clip frame and attaching the primary clip to the contact pad on the semiconductor die; and
when the width of the contact pad matches the second width of the part of flat die contact portion in the secondary clip, extracting the secondary clip from the clip frame and attaching the secondary clip to the contact pad on the semiconductor die.
