Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: a leadframe having a first main planar face opposite and parallel to a second main planar face, and a plurality of lateral edges extending between the first and second main planar faces, each of the plurality of lateral edges having a height defined between the first and second main planar faces and a length defined between a first end and an opposing second end, at least one of the plurality of edges comprising a first profiled element and a second profiled element different than the first profiled element, the first and second profiled elements each extending the height between the first main planar surface to the second main planar surface, the first profiled element extending along a first sectional length of the length of at least one of the plurality edges and the second profiled element extending along a second sectional length of at least one of the plurality of edges, wherein the second sectional length does not overlap the first sectional length of the length; a chip attached to the leadframe; and encapsulation material disposed over the chip and the plurality of edges of the leadframe.
