Patent ID: 8581416

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a leadframe for receiving semiconductor die, the leadframe having a first die attachment area for receiving a first semiconductor die, having a second die attachment area for receiving a second semiconductor die, and having a third die attachment area for receiving a third semiconductor die wherein the third die attachment area is not electrically connected within the leadframe to the first die attachment area; the first semiconductor die having a first MOS transistor, the first MOS transistor having a source mechanically attached to the first die attachment area; the second semiconductor die having a second MOS transistor, the second MOS transistor having a drain mechanically attached to the second die attachment area; and a connection clip mechanically and electrically connected to the drain of the first MOS transistor, to the source of the second MOS transistor, wherein a first portion of the connection clip extends to attach to both the first and second semiconductor die and wherein a second portion of the connection clip extends away from the first portion to provide an electrical connection to the drain of the first MOS transistor, to the source of the second MOS transistor.
