Patent ID: 6897550

Claim:
A circuit module comprising: a leadframe having: at least one die pad defining opposed, generally planar top and bottom surfaces; a plurality of contacts, each of the contacts defining opposed, generally planar top and bottom surfaces; a plurality of conductive traces extending from respective ones of the contacts toward the die pad, each of the traces defining opposed, generally planar top and bottom surfaces, the die pad and the contacts extending along respective ones of spaced, generally parallel frame planes; and a plurality of stand-offs disposed on and extending from at least one of the die pad and the traces; at least one semiconductor die attached to the bottom surface of the die pad such that the semiconductor die extends along a die plane which is disposed between and generally parallel to the frame planes, the semiconductor die being electrically connected to at least one of the traces; and a body at least partially encapsulating the leadframe and the semiconductor die such that the bottom surfaces of the contacts are exposed in and substantially flush with a bottom surface defined by the body.
