Abstract:
An assembly, comprising:a semiconductor die including: an active surface thereon, said active surface having a first set of two opposing sides, each side of said first set having a length, and a second set of two opposing sides substantially normal to said first set of two opposing sides, each side of said second set of two opposing sides having a length greater than said length of each side of said first set of two opposing sides; a first plurality of bond pads substantially aligned on said active surface of said semiconductor die along one side of said second set of two opposing sides; and a second plurality of bond pads substantially aligned on said active surface of said semiconductor die along the other side of said second set of two opposing sides; a lead frame having a pair of sides, each side having substantially the same length, at least one side of said pair of sides including at least one lead having a first width and a lead end terminating adjacent at least one bond pad of said first plurality of bond pads on said active surface of said semiconductor die, the other side of said pair of sides of said lead frame including a plurality of leads thereon, at least one lead of said plurality of leads extending over a portion of said active surface of said semiconductor die and having a second width different from said first width and a lead end terminating over said portion of said active surface, and at least one other lead of said plurality of leads having a lead end terminating adjacent at least one bond pad of said second plurality of bond pads on said active surface of said semiconductor die, said semiconductor die positioned having said second set of two opposing sides extending transversely relative to said length of said sides of said lead frame; and at least one connection between said lead frame and said semiconductor die.
