Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: providing a first metallic clip having an upper portion and a lower portion; providing a second metallic clip having an upper portion and a lower portion; attaching a first semiconductor chip to the upper portion of the first metallic clip; placing the first semiconductor chip over a leadframe after the attachment of the first semiconductor chip to the first metallic clip such that a lower surface of the lower portion of the first metallic clip is substantially co-planar with a lower surface of the leadframe; attaching a second semiconductor chip to the upper portion of the second metallic clip, wherein the second metallic clip is separate from the first metallic clip; and placing the second semiconductor chip over the lower portion of the first metallic clip and placing the lower portion of the second metallic clip over the leadframe after the attachment of the second semiconductor chip to the second metallic clip, wherein the first semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chip are arranged side by side.
