Abstract:
According to principles of the disclosure as explained herein, selected leads are electrically connected through metal strips to the lead frame until the end of the manufacturing process. The lead frame is grounded through the manufacturing process to prevent any ESD event from causing damage to the protected leads. In the final singulation step, the leads are electrically isolated from each other and from the lead frame, thus maintaining protection from a potential ESD event up until the final package singulation step.

Claim (Index 15):
A method, comprising:\n attaching a semiconductor die to a first side of a first lead frame including a plurality of leads; connecting at least one lead line between a first one of the plurality of leads on a second side of the first lead frame and a bus line of the first lead frame; grounding the first lead frame, the grounding including ground the first one of the plurality of leads; subjecting the first lead frame to a first electrostatic charge event; and separating the first lead frame, the separating including removing the bus line of the lead frame to electrically isolate the first one of the plurality of leads.
