    摘要: According to a first example of the disclosure, a locking system for a semiconductor device is proposed. The locking system incorporates or comprises a locking clip and a lead frame, wherein the lead frame comprises a first lead frame surface and a second lead frame surface opposite the first lead frame surface. The locking clip comprises a first locking clip surface and a second locking clip surface opposite the first locking clip surface, and comprises a first locking means. Also, the lead frame comprises a second locking means. The first locking means are structured to align with the second locking means, such that a movement of the locking clip relative to the lead frame is possible in only one direction, and wherein the locking clip is placed on the lead frame, such that the first locking clip surface of the locking clip is in contact with the second lead frame surface of the lead frame. This configuration prevents clip swaying during assembly and maximizes the use of copper material for both clips and lead frame components while making the density of manufactured semiconductor devices higher. Additionally, the disclosure also pertains to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing such semiconductor device.
