Claim Text:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a package body having a top main surface and an opposing, bottom mounting surface; a semiconductor die encapsulated in the package body and having an active surface facing the top main surface of the package body and an opposing bottom surface facing the bottom mounting surface of the package body; and a heat spreader disposed within a recess in the top main surface of the package body and spaced from the active surface of the semiconductor die by a portion of the package body, wherein the heat spreader conducts heat generated by the semiconductor die; a die flag having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface of the semiconductor die is attached to the top surface of the die flag and the bottom surface of the die flag is exposed at the bottom mounting surface of the package body; and a plurality of leads that surround the semiconductor die and the die flag, wherein the semiconductor die is electrically coupled to the plurality of leads and wherein at least a portion of each of the leads is exposed at least one of a side surface and the bottom mounting surface of the package body; a tie bar that extends from the die flag along the bottom mounting surface of the package body, up the side surface of the package body, and onto the top main surface of the package body.
