Patent ID: 10833008

Abstract:
A packaged semiconductor device has a die attach pad and leads disposed proximate to the die attach pad. Each lead has a lead bottom surface and a lead end surface. A semiconductor device attached adjacent to a top surface of the die attach pad, and a conductive clip is attached to the semiconductor device and at least one of the leads. The conductive clip comprises a first tie bar extending from a first side surface of the conductive clip. A package body encapsulates the semiconductor device, the conductive clip, portions of the leads, at least a portion of the first tie bar, and at least a portion of the die attach pad. Each lead end surface is exposed in a side surface of the package body, and an end surface of the first tie bar is exposed in a first side surface of the package body. A conductive layer is disposed on each lead end surface but is not disposed on the end surface of the first tie bar.
