A semiconductor device package and a method for manufacturing the same is provided. The semiconductor device package includes a semiconductor die having an electronic component integrated thereon and having a die terminal that is electrically connected to the electronic component, a stress relief substrate fixedly and electrically connected to the die terminal, and a clip lead. The substrate is configured to provide an electrical short between the clip lead and the die terminal. The stress relief substrate may form an interface between the clip lead and the semiconductor die and can thereby reduce stress exerted on the semiconductor die by the clip lead.
