Abstract:
1. A method comprising: coupling a first die to a first die pad; coupling a second die to a second die pad; coupling a first end of a first conductive wire to a pad of the first die and coupling a second end of the first conductive wire to a first lead; coupling a first end of a second conductive wire to a pad of the second die and coupling a second end of the second conductive wire to a second lead, the first and second leads being connected to each other by a connecting bar, the first lead, the second lead and the connecting bar each having a respective bottom surface; encapsulating the first and second dice, the first and second conductive wires, and portions of the first and second leads and the connecting bar with encapsulation material, a surface of the encapsulation material being coplanar with a surface of the first and second die pads and the first and second leads; removing the connecting bar by chemically etching the connecting bar to expose a surface of the encapsulation material; and cutting through a first portion of the exposed surface of the encapsulation material such that second portions of the exposed surface of the encapsulation material remains and forms recesses proximate outer surfaces of the first and second leads, thereby forming individual packages.
