Abstract:
1. A semiconductor package capable of receiving a lid, the semiconductor package comprising: an integrated circuit having first and second planar surfaces and edges extending between the first and second planar surfaces; molding compound for encapsulating the integrated circuit, the molding compound including an inner surface in contact with the integrated circuit, and outer surfaces facing an exterior of the semiconductor package, the outer surfaces forming a rectangular cross-section, the molding compound including a surface of the outer surfaces and a reference plane at an interface between the first planar surface of the integrated circuit and the molding compound; and one or more trenches formed down into the surface, the one or more trenches including an overhang for receiving and gripping portions of the lid, a vector normal to the overhang pointing toward the reference plane.
