Patent ID: 8003447

Claim:
A method comprising: obtaining a leadframe structure comprising a first lead, a second lead, a third lead and a fourth lead; mounting an integrated circuit chip to the leadframe structure; mounting at least one semiconductor chip comprising a first power transistor and a second power transistor on the leadframe structure; attaching a first connection structure to the integrated circuit chip and to the first power transistor; attaching a second connection structure to the integrated circuit chip and to the second power transistor; attaching a third connection structure to the integrated circuit chip and to the third lead; attaching a fourth connection structure to the integrated circuit chip and to the fourth lead, the fourth lead being separate from the third lead; and molding a material around at least part of the integrated circuit chip, the first power transistor, the second power transistor, the first connection structure, and the second connection structure, thereby forming a multichip module, wherein the first lead provides an electrical connection to the first power transistor and the second lead provides an electrical connection to the second power transistor, and wherein the first and second leads are at a first end of the multi-chip module, and the third and fourth leads are at a second of the multi-chip module, the second end being opposite to the first end.
