Patent ID: 7122887

Claim:
A semiconductor device package comprising: an electrical connector formed of an electrically and thermally conductive material including a web portion and a conductive leg extending from an edge of said web portion said leg including a free surface, said web portion and said conductive leg forming a unitary body, said web portion and said conductive leg each including an inner surface and an outer surface opposite said inner surface; a semiconductor die having a first power contact on a first major surface thereof and a second power contact and a control contact on a second major surface thereof opposite to said first power contact, said first power contact being electrically connected to said inner surface of said web portion by a conductive adhesive and spaced from said inner surface of said conductive leg; and mold compound disposed over at least said outer surface of said web portion and said outer surface of said conductive leg; wherein said conductive leg is located opposite an edge of said die and extends at least between said first power contact and said second power contact and said free surface faces a same direction as said second major surface of said semiconductor die.
