Patent ID: 8519525

Claim:
A metal clip semiconductor encapsulation comprises: a lead frame comprising a chip carrier and a plurality of pins adjacent to the chip carrier; an upper surface of the chip carrier being provided with a first groove dividing the chip carrier into a first chip mounting area and a second chip mounting area; a first semiconductor chip having a plurality of top electrodes disposed on the first chip mounting area through a first adhesive, wherein an excessive amount of the first adhesive accumulated at a bottom corner of the first groove near the first chip mounting area; a second semiconductor chip having a bottom electrode and a plurality of top electrodes disposed on the second chip mounting area, with its bottom electrode mounted onto the second chip mounting area through a second adhesive; a first metal clip having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the first metal clip connecting to a top electrode of the first semiconductor chip, wherein the second end of the first metal clip disposed inside the first groove; and a plastic package for at least partially encapsulating the chip carrier, the pins, the first and second semiconductor chips and the first metal clip.
