A power semiconductor package has a small footprint. A preparation method is used to fabricate the power semiconductor package. A first semiconductor chip and a second semiconductor chip are attached to a front side and a back side of a die paddle respectively. Conductive pads are then attached to electrodes at top surfaces of the first and second semiconductor chips. It is followed by a formation of a plastic package body covering the die paddle, the first and second semiconductor chips, and the conductive pads. Side surfaces of the conductive pads are exposed from a side surface of the plastic package body.
