Patent ID: 8030741

Claim:
A semiconductor assembly comprising: a printed circuit board; and a semiconductor package comprising: a lead frame including a die pad and a plurality of leads spaced from the die pad; a chip attached to the die pad on a front face of the lead frame; at least one electrically conductive structure element having a top face and a bottom face, the bottom face mechanically coupled to the front face of the lead frame with an electrically isolating material deposited between the bottom face of the at least one electrically conducive structure element and the front face of the lead frame, at least one electrically conductive structure element extending between at least two spaced apart deposits of the electrically isolating material; at least one connector electrically connecting the chip to the at least one electrically conductive structure element; at least one connector electrically connecting the at least one electrically conductive structure element to at least one of the leads; and wherein the semiconductor package is electrically connected to the printed circuit board via one or more leads.
