Patent ID: 7489021

Claim:
A semiconductor device package ( 10 ) configured for electrical connection to an external circuit, the semiconductor device package ( 10 ) comprising: a package body ( 30 ); a semiconductor device ( 12 ) disposed within the package body ( 30 ); at least one passive device ( 14 ) disposed within the package body ( 30 ); and a lead frame ( 17 ) formed from electrically conductive material, the lead frame ( 17 ) including: a plurality of leads ( 16 ) electrically connected to I/O pads ( 22 ) on the semiconductor device ( 12 ), each of the leads ( 16 ) including a first surface ( 38 ) exposed from the package body ( 30 ) for electrical connection to the external circuit, and a plurality of first interposers ( 20 ) electrically connected to the at least one passive device ( 14 ), at least one interposer ( 20 ) in the plurality of interposers ( 20 ) being electrically connected to at least one lead ( 16 ) in the plurality of leads ( 16 ) for electrically connecting the at least one passive device ( 14 ) with the external circuit, wherein at least one of the first interposers ( 20 ) in the plurality of first interposers ( 20 ) includes a support post ( 58 ) extending therefrom, the support post ( 58 ) being exposed at a surface ( 34 ) of the package body ( 10 ).
