In a described example, a packaged device includes a substrate having a device mounting surface including a first layer of conductive material having a first thickness less than a substrate thickness, the substrate having a second layer of the conductive material having a second thickness less than the substrate thickness. A first semiconductor device is mounted to a first area of the device mounting surface; and a second semiconductor device is mounted to a second area on the device mounting surface and spaced from the first semiconductor device. At least two connectors are formed of the first layer of the substrate having first ends coupled to one of first bond pads on the first semiconductor device and the at least two connectors having second ends coupled to one of second bond pads on the second semiconductor device.

Abstract:
A method for fabricating a packaged semiconductor device begins by placing a first mask on a foil of porous conductive material bonded on a strip of a first metal. The surface of the conductive material and the inside of the pores are oxidized. The first mask leaves areas unprotected. The pores of the unprotected areas are filled with a conductive polymeric compound. A layer of a second metal is deposited on the conductive polymeric compound in the unprotected areas. The first mask is removed to expose un-oxidized conductive material. The foil thickness of the un-oxidized conductive material is removed to expose the underlying first metal. This creates sidewalls of the foil and leaves un-removed the capacitor areas covered by the second metal. A second mask is placed on the strip, the second mask defines a plurality of leadframes having chip pads and leads, and protecting the capacitor areas. The portions of the first metal exposed by the second mask are removed. Sidewalls of the first metal are coplanar with the foil sidewalls. The second mask is removed.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device that has at least one semiconductor chip attached to a leadframe made of sheet metal of unencumbered full thickness. The leadframe has leads of a first subset that alternate with leads of a second subset. The leads of the first and second subsets have elongated straight lead portions that are parallel to each other in a planar array. A cover layer of insulating material is located over portions of un-encapsulated lead surfaces. The portions of the leads of the first and second subsets that don't have the cover layer have a metallurgical configuration that creates an affinity for solder wetting.
