<p>A semi-conductor device (100) comprises an exposed leadframe (10) with a die pad (11) and a plurality of leads (12). The die pad (11) has a substantially flat bottom surface (14) and a top surface (15). A semi-conductor die (2) is attached to a die attachment portion (31) of the top surface (15). Downbonds (5) connect the die (2) to a downbond attachment portion (32). Standard bonds (4) connect the die (2) to the leads (12). A plastic package (6) encapsulates the die (2), the standard bonds (4) and the downbonds (5). The top surface of the die pad has portions located at different levels, and step-shaped transitions between two adjacent ones of such portions. At least one of such step-shaped transition (36) is located between the die (2) and the downbonds (5). It has been found that such step-shaped transition provides good protection against downbond failure. ® KIPO & WIPO 2008</p> |
