Abstract:
A leadframe for a two-lead, surface-mounting, high power semiconductor package, the leadframe comprising:a microstructure having parallel and respectively co-planar upper and lower surfaces, including: an I-shaped die pad having a head, a foot, and opposite first and second sides; an elongate, generally straight first lead disposed at the foot of the die pad, the first lead having a side aligned with the first side of the pad, a proximal end proximate to the die pad, and an opposite, distal end; and a generally L-shaped second lead disposed at the foot of the die pad, the second lead having a side aligned with the second side of the die pad, a proximal end, an opposite, distal end, and a wire bonding arm extending along-the die pad in spaced relation thereto, the wire bonding arm defining the proximal end of the second lead which is disposed proximate to the first lead.
