Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a full-metal die paddle comprising a mounting surface to accept a first semiconductor device, wherein a surface area of the full-metal die paddle mounting surface is larger than a surface area of a mounting surface of the first semiconductor die; a reduced-metal die paddle comprising a mounting surface to accept a second semiconductor device, wherein a surface area of the reduced-metal die paddle mounting surface is smaller than a surface area of a mounting surface of the second semiconductor die; a frame having a perimeter around the full-metal die paddle and the reduced-metal die paddle; a plurality of leadfingers extending inward from the frame; and wherein the full-metal die paddle mounting surface and the reduced-metal die paddle mounting surface are coplanar in a first plane and directly adjoined in the first plane by a straight member of the leadframe extending between the full-metal die paddle mounting surface and the reduced-metal die paddle mounting surface to form a unified die paddle.
