Patent ID: RE41559

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor die having a first electrode disposed on a first major surface thereof and a second electrode disposed on a second major surface thereof; an electrically conductive web portion having a first major surface electrically connected to said first electrode; a plurality of heat conductive structures extending away from a second major surface of said web portion, said second major surface of said web portion being opposite to its first major surface; and at least one conductive post extending from an edge of said web portion in a direction away from said first major surface of said web portion wherein said second electrode of said semiconductor die is adapted to be directly connected electrically and mechanically to a conductive pad and said conductive post includes a connection surface for electrical and mechanical connection to another conductive pad so that said package semiconductor die may become externally connectable to a substrate having said conductive pads with a conductive adhesive without the necessity for an auxiliary element for external connection.
