Abstract:
A semiconductor package including a fail open mechanism is disclosed. An embodiment includes a semiconductor package having a chip carrier, a chip disposed on the chip carrier and an encapsulant encapsulating the chip and the chip carrier. The semiconductor package further including a pin protruding from the encapsulant and a fail open mechanism disposed on the encapsulant and connected to the pin, wherein the fail open mechanism is configured to be disconnected from the pin if a temperature exceeds a pre-determined temperature.
