Patent ID: 7361533

Claim:
A method of forming a stackable embedded leadframe package comprising: coupling a first surface of a first electronic component to a first surface of a first dielectric strip, the first electronic component comprising bond pads on the first surface of the first electronic component; coupling a leadframe on the first surface of the first dielectric strip, the leadframe comprising a support plate and a plurality of leads, each lead in the plurality of leads having a terminal portion and a lower mounting portion, the lower mounting portion being connected to the first surface of the first dielectric strip; forming an electronic component package body by encapsulating the first electronic component and partially encapsulating the leadframe such that portions of the leadframe are exposed in a principal surface of the electronic component package body; singulating each lead in the plurality of leads; forming first via apertures through the first dielectric strip to expose the bond pads and the lower mounting portion of each lead in the plurality of leads; and filling the first via apertures with an electrically conductive material to form first vias electrically coupled to the bond pads and to the lower mounting portion of each lead in the plurality of leads.
