Patent ID: 7057273

Claim:
A small footprint semiconductor device package comprising: a plastic package body for enclosing a die, the plastic package body including a top coupled to a bottom through a plurality of sides; a diepad supporting the die, the diepad having a first side and a second side opposite the first side; a first lead integral with a first side of the diepad and in electrical and thermal communication with the die through the diepad, the first lead including an enclosed portion by the package body and in electrical communication with the die, and an exposed portion of the first lead extending from the side of the package body, folding back along the side of the package toward the bottom of the package at a first angle, and folding underneath the package bottom toward a center of the bottom of the package to form a first lead foot having a reverse gull wing shape, whereupon the portion of the first lead along the side of the package and the portion of the lead along the bottom of the package form an angle of less than 90° from each other and the first lead foot being inclined at a second angle relative to an underlying planar PC board to promote solder wetting; and a second lead nonintegral with the second side of the diepad and in electrical communication with the die through a bondwire, the second lead including an enclosed portion by the package body and in electrical communication with the die, and an exposed portion of the second lead extending from the side of the package body, folding back along the side of the package toward the bottom of the package at a first angle, and folding underneath the package bottom toward a center of the bottom of the package to form a second lead foot having a reverse gull wing shape, whereupon the portion of the second lead along the side of the package and the portion of the lead along the bottom of the package form an angle of less than 90° from each other and the second lead foot being inclined at a second angle relative to an underlying planar PC board to promote solder wetting, wherein a first side of the die is in contact with the first side of the diepad proximate to the first and second lead feet, and wherein a first end of the bondwire is in contact with a side of the enclosed lead portion proximate to the first and second lead feet, and a second end of the bondwire is in contact with a second side of the die proximate to the first and second lead feet.
