Abstract:
A packaged electronic device includes a substrate having a lead. The lead includes an outward facing side surface having a first height, and an inward facing side surface having a second height that is less than the first height. An electronic device is electrically connected to the lead. A package body encapsulates the electronic device and portions of the lead. The outward facing side surface is exposed through a side surface of the package body, and the inward facing side surface is encapsulated by the package body. A conductive layer is disposed on the outward facing side surface to provide the packaged electronic device with an enhanced wettable flank. In one embodiment, the electronic device is electrically connected to a thick terminal portion having the outward facing side surface. In another embodiment, the electronic device is electrically connected to a thin terminal portion having the inward facing side surface.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of forming a packaged electronic device, comprising:\n providing a substrate comprising:\n a lead comprising:\n a first terminal portion having a first thickness; and \n a second terminal portion having an inward facing side surface and having a second thickness that is less than the first thickness, wherein the inward facing side surface comprises a laterally recessed surface in a cross-sectional view; \n \n removing a first portion of the first terminal portion to provide the first terminal portion with a first outward facing side surface of the lead while leaving a second portion of the first terminal portion intact; forming a conductive layer on the first outward facing side surface of the lead; electrically coupling an electronic device to the lead; providing a package body encapsulating the electronic device and portions of the lead; and singulating the second portion of the first terminal portion and the package body to provide the first terminal portion with a second outward facing side surface that is offset from the first outward facing side surface.
