Abstract:
In a general aspect, a method for producing a packaged semiconductor device can include coupling a semiconductor device to a leadframe structure having a signal lead that is electrically coupled with the semiconductor device. The method can also include encapsulating at least a portion of the semiconductor device and at least a portion of the leadframe structure in a molding compound. At least a segment of the signal lead can be exposed outside the molding compound. A surface of the molding compound can define a primary plane of the packaged semiconductor device. The method can further include forming, with a laser, a groove in the segment, applying solder plating to the segment, including the groove, and separating, at the groove, the segment into a first portion and a second portion, such that the second portion of the segment is separated from the leadframe structure.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 7 , wherein the flank of the signal lead has a surface area, the surface area of the flank having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being defined by the groove, the second portion being defined by a cleave in the metal leadframe structure, exposed metal of the metal leadframe structure being included in the second portion of the surface area of the flank.
