Patent ID: 7023076

Claim:
A semiconductor package, comprising: a first IC device with a plurality of electrical connection areas on a periphery of an active face; a die paddle, directly attached to the active face of the first IC device, inward of the electrical connection areas, the die paddle being sized such that it does not cover the plurality of electrical connection areas of the first IC device; a second IC device, a passive face of the second IC device being directly attached to the die paddle, and having a plurality of electrical connection areas on an active face opposite the passive face; and electrical connections between the plurality of electrical connection areas of the first and second IC devices and a plurality of external electrical terminals that protrude from the package, an end portion of at least one of the plurality of external electrical terminals being bent down such that the end portion is approximately level with the active face of the first IC device; wherein the first and second IC devices, the die paddle, the electrical connections, and a portion of each of the plurality of external electrical terminals are enclosed by an encapsulation.
