Abstract:
1. A module, comprising: a patterned leadframe; a discrete passive element mounted on an upper surface of said leadframe including a main body, planar metallic ends formed on and about ends of said main body extending laterally on an upper surface and a lower surface thereof, and a planar extended metallic region extending from one end of one of said planar metallic ends formed on said upper surface of said discrete passive element beyond said one of said planar metallic ends on said lower surface of said discrete passive element and positioned to provide a heat flow path from a semiconductor device positioned above said discrete passive element to said leadframe, said planar metallic ends including at least one of a base layer, an intermetallic barrier layer and a solderable surface; and a thermally conductive, electrically insulating material formed on said planar extended metallic region and a portion of said upper surface of said discrete passive element, wherein said semiconductor device is bonded to an upper surface of said thermally conductive, electrically insulating material and includes a higher heat-producing region located above said planar extended metallic region.
