Semiconductor device with split pad design

摘要

A semiconductor device (300) includes a device body (302), a pad (304) and a signal distribution runner (306,308). The device body (302) includes a plurality of parallel cells and at least one integrated electronic component. The pad (304) is located on a surface of the device body (302) and includes a first portion (304A) and a second portion (304B) that are electrically isolated. The signal distribution runner (306,308) is electrically coupled to and extends from the first portion (304A) of the pad (304). The signal distribution runner (306,308) provides a signal to a same terminal of each of the plurality of parallel cells. The at least one integrated electronic component is electrically coupled to the second portion (304B) of the pad (304).
