A molded semiconductor package includes: semiconductor dies attached to a first side of a leadframe and electrically interconnected to form a power electronic circuit; a substrate attached to a second side of the leadframe opposite the first side, and including a metal body and electrically insulative material that separates the metal body from the leadframe; and a molding compound encapsulating the dies. The metal body includes a first surface in contact with the electrically insulative material, a second surface opposite the first surface and which is not covered by the molding compound, and a bevelled edge extending between the first and second surfaces. The bevelled edge of the metal body has a first sloped side face that extends from the first surface to an apex of the bevelled edge, and a second sloped side face that extends from the apex to the second surface. Methods of producing the package are also described.
