Abstract:
Semiconductor device package (100) comprises a metallic Quad Flat No-Lead/Small Outline No-Lead QFN/SON-type leadframe (101) with a pad (102) and a plurality of leads (103) with solderable surfaces (101a, 110a), at least one set of leads aligned in a row while having one surface in a common plane (170), each lead of the set having a protrusion (110) shaped as a metal sheet. A package material (160) encapsulates the assembly and the leadframe, the package material shaped by sidewalls (161) with the row of leads positioned along an edge of a sidewall and the protrusions extending away from the package sidewalls, the common-plane lead surfaces and the protrusions remaining un-encapsulated. The protruding metal sheets (110) are bent at an angle (171) from the common plane towards the package sidewalls.
