Patent ID: 7576429

Claim:
A molded gull wing leaded packaged semiconductor device comprising: a. at least one semiconductor die comprising a vertical transistor having at least one control region and at least one first terminal region, and a second terminal region; b. a thermal clip with a first surface and a second surface wherein said second surface of said thermal clip is entirely disposed in one plane and is connected to said second terminal region of said semiconductor die; c. at least one first terminal pad structure with a first surface, a second surface, and at least one first terminal gull wing lead extending from one side of said first terminal pad structure, wherein said first terminal region of said semiconductor die is connected to said first surface of said first terminal pad structure; d. at least one control pad structure with a first surface, a second surface, and at least one control gull wing lead extending from one end of said control pad structure, wherein said control region of said semiconductor die is connected to said first surface of said control pad structure; e. at least one second terminal pad structure with a first surface, a second surface, and at least one second terminal gull wing lead extending from one end of said second terminal lead pad structure, wherein said first surface of said second terminal pad is connected to said second surface of said thermal clip; and f. a nonconductive molding material encapsulating said semiconductor die, wherein said first surface of said thermal clip and said second surface of said first terminal pad structure are exposed through said nonconductive molding material, and wherein said control gull wing lead, said first terminal gull wing lead and said second terminal gull wing lead are exposed through said nonconductive molding material.
