Abstract:
1. A surface mount semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor die having an active face with die bond pads; a package body having top and bottom surfaces, a side surface having quadrangular sides, and a step surface between the top and bottom surfaces and adjacent to the side surface at a level offset from the bottom surface, wherein the die is embedded within the package body; a plurality of electrical leads that allow for connection to an external electrical circuit, wherein the electrical leads are connected with first ones of the die bond pads, and wherein the electrical leads have inner ends supported in the package body at the step surface and outer lead ends that project from at least two opposite side surfaces; and at least a first set of exposed electrical contacts exposed in the bottom surface in at least two rows adjacent respectively to the at least two opposite side surfaces for connection to the external electrical circuit, wherein the first set of exposed contacts are connected with second ones of the die bond pads, and wherein the first set of exposed contacts have outer ends positioned in the package body at the step surface and aligned with but spaced from respective inner ends of the electrical leads at an adjacent side surface of the at least two opposite side surfaces by a saw street formed at the step surface.
