Abstract:
1. A semiconductor component, comprising: at least one semiconductor power switch comprising an upper side and a lower side, wherein a gate electrode and at least two source regions are disposed on the upper side of the semiconductor power switch, the source regions being at least partly disassociated, and wherein a drain electrode is disposed on the lower side of the semiconductor power switch; a leadframe comprising a die pad and a plurality of leads disposed on one side of the die pad, each lead having an inner portion and an outer portion, wherein at least one lead extends from the die pad and provides a drain lead and the remaining leads are spaced at a distance from the die pad and provide at least one gate lead and at least two source leads, and wherein the lower side of the semiconductor power switch is mounted on and electrically connected to the die pad; at least one first connector extending between the gate electrode of the semiconductor power switch and the gate lead of the leadframe; and a plurality of second connectors extending between the source regions and the source leads, wherein each source lead is electrically connected to each source region.
