Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor die package, said semiconductor die package housing a semiconductor device, said method comprising the steps of:disposing at least one pin proximate to a main bonding pad area, said main bonding pad area having an extending portion extending from an edge of said main bonding pad area;bending said at least one pin so that each pin has a pin bonding pad area, a bend, and a lead portion, and so that said pin bonding pad area is disposed above said main bonding pad area and said lead portion extends substantially at a common height with said main bonding pad area;attaching said semiconductor device to said main bonding pad area; andencapsulating said semiconductor device and said at least one pin within a housing so that each of said lead portions, said extending portion of said main bonding pad area, and said main bonding pad area, extend beyond a periphery of said housing.
