Abstract:
A semiconductor device may include a circuit board having an opening, and a frame. The frame may have an IC die pad in the opening, and arms extending outwardly from the IC die pad and coupled to the circuit board. The semiconductor device may include an IC mounted on the IC die pad, bond wires coupling the circuit board with the IC, and encapsulation material surrounding the IC, the bond wires, and the arms.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n forming an opening through a thickness of a substrate; mounting the substrate having the opening onto a carrier layer; forming an adhesive layer on a first major surface of the substrate at distal ends of the substrate, the first major surface of the substrate being directed away from the carrier layer; mounting a frame onto the carrier layer and the substrate, the frame comprising an integrated circuit (IC) die pad disposed in the opening, the frame further comprising a plurality of arms extending outwardly from the IC die pad, wherein distal ends of the plurality of arms are adhered to the distal ends of the substrate via the adhesive layer, and wherein the frame is devoid of contact pads; positioning an IC die on the IC die pad; electrically coupling the IC die to electrical traces carried by the substrate via a plurality of bonding elements without the frame being an intermediary coupling element; and encapsulating the IC die, the plurality of bonding elements, and the plurality of arms in an encapsulant.
