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 20):
The method of  claim 17 , wherein the flank of the signal lead is disposed at an end of the signal lead, the discontinuous surface area of the flank including the first portion of the surface area of the flank of the signal lead and the second portion of the surface area of the flank of the signal lead, the first portion of the surface area of the flank of the signal lead being defined by the groove, the second portion of the surface area of the flank of the signal lead being defined by a saw cut in the metal leadframe structure, the surface of the exposed metal being included in the second portion of the surface area of the flank of the signal lead.
