Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a die having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and side surfaces, one or more edges along the first surface of the die being notched to form one or more shaped edges; a lead frame coupled to the second surface of the die; and a body encapsulating the die and the lead frame with portions of the lead frame extending out of the body, the body having a window defined therein, wherein the die is positioned with respect to the body such that the first surface of the die is exposed through the window, and wherein the die comprises a power MOSFET and wherein the first surface of the die has a metallization layer providing a drain terminal of the MOSFET, wherein an exterior surface of the metallization layer is substantially coplanar with an exterior surface of the body.
