    Abstract: A circuit module includes a module substrate with a mounting surface, and a plurality of conductive features and electronic circuitry coupled to the mounting surface. Encapsulant material covers the electronic circuitry and the mounting surface, and an upper surface of the encapsulant material defined a first surface of the circuit module. A plurality of leadframe terminals, each separated from a non-planar leadframe unit, extend from the conductive features at the mounting surface through the encapsulant material toward the first surface of the circuit module. Each of the leadframe terminals is formed from an elongated planar conductive feature of a leadframe unit, and the plurality of leadframe terminals is electrically coupled to the electronic circuitry through the conductive features and the module substrate. Encapsulant divots may extend into the encapsulant material from the first surface of the circuit module, and proximal ends of the leadframe terminals terminate at the encapsulant divots.

    Abstract: A circuit module (e.g., an amplifier module) includes a module substrate, a thermal dissipation structure, a semiconductor die, encapsulant material, and an interposer. The module substrate has a mounting surface and a plurality of conductive pads at the mounting surface. The thermal dissipation structure extends through the module substrate, and a surface of the thermal dissipation structure is exposed at the mounting surface of the module substrate. The semiconductor die is coupled to the surface of the thermal dissipation structure. The encapsulant material covers the mounting surface of the module substrate and the semiconductor die, and a surface of the encapsulant material defines a contact surface of the circuit module. The interposer is embedded within the encapsulant material. The interposer includes a conductive terminal with a proximal end coupled to a conductive pad of the module substrate, and a distal end exposed at the contact surface of the circuit module.
