Patent ID: 7009309

Claim:
A semiconductor package device, comprising: an insulative housing with a top surface, a bottom surface, a peripheral side surface between the top and bottom surfaces, and an inner side surface opposite the peripheral side surface, wherein the bottom surface includes a peripheral portion adjacent to the peripheral and inner side surfaces and a central portion within the peripheral portion adjacent to the inner side surface and spaced from the peripheral side surface, the peripheral portion protrudes downwardly from the central portion, and the top and bottom surfaces, peripheral and inner side surfaces and peripheral and central portions are exposed; a semiconductor chip within the insulative housing, wherein the chip includes an upper surface, a lower surface and an outer side surface between the upper and lower surfaces, the upper surface includes a conductive pad, faces towards the central portion and faces away from the top surface, and the insulative housing contacts the chip; and a lead that protrudes laterally from and extends through the peripheral side surface and is electrically connected to the pad.
