Packaged Semiconductor Device Having Multilevel Leadframes Configured as Modules

摘要

Fabricating a packaged semiconductor device provides first planar leadframe with first leads and pads having attached electronic components. The first leadframe has a set of elongated leads bent at an angle away from the plane of the first leadframe. A second planar leadframe has second leads having attached electronic components. The bent leads of the first leadframe conductively connected to the second leadframe, forming a conductively linked 3-dimensional network between components and leads in two planes.
