Patent ID: 8114709

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an electronic device, the method comprising: providing a mounting apparatus, the mounting apparatus comprising: a plurality of leads, a plurality of structures, each structure attached to at least one lead, the structures and the leads forming a lead frame, a plurality of receiving surfaces, at least one receiving surface associated with each structure, each receiving surface arranged to receive a die, a plurality of fingers, each finger having a first end and a second end, and having at least a first bendable portion and a second bendable portion, the first end of each finger being the first bendable portion and being attached to the lead frame; and a plurality of electrode contact surfaces, at least one electrode contact surface attached to the second end of each finger; arranging a die on each receiving surface in such a manner that an anode of the die does not meet the receiving surface; and bending each finger at the first bendable portion attached to the lead frame and the second bendable portion to position the at least one electrode contact surface attached to the second end of each finger with respect to an arranged die to allow the electrode contact surface to make contact with respect to one receiving surface in such a manner that when a die is disposed on the receiving surface, the electrode contact surface facilitates electrical connection between the anode of the die and one of the plurality of leads.
