Abstract:
1. A semiconductor package device, comprising: an insulative housing with a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral side surface between the top and bottom surfaces, wherein the insulative housing includes a first single-piece housing portion and a second single-piece housing portion, and the first single-piece housing portion is not integral with the second single-piece housing portion; a semiconductor chip within the insulative housing, wherein the chip includes an upper surface and a lower surface, and the upper surface includes a conductive pad; a terminal that protrudes downwardly from and extends through the bottom surface and is electrically connected to the pad; and a lead that protrudes laterally from and extends through the side surface and is electrically connected to the pad, wherein the first single-piece housing portion contacts the lead and is spaced from the terminal, the second single-piece housing portion contacts the first single-piece housing portion and the terminal, the terminal and the lead are spaced and separated from one another outside the insulative housing, and the terminal and the lead are electrically connected to one another inside the insulative housing and outside the chip.
