Abstract:
A power supply module includes a metallic clip including a plate having an area and a first and a second ridge on opposite sides of the plate. The ridges bent in the same direction away from the plate. The first and the second ridges conductively attached to the substrate, where the substrate is of insulating material integral with metal traces, the plate roofing over the substrate between the ridges. A first MOS field-effect transistor (FET) chip and, horizontally side-by-side, a second MOSFET chip are attached and wire bonded to the substrate under the plate. The drain of the first MOSFET is connected to the input terminal of the module, the source of the first MOSFET is tied to the drain of the second MOSFET, and the source of the second MOSFET, together with the second ridge, is connected to ground. A driver and controller chip is attached to the substrate under the plate and wire bonded to the gates of the first and second MOSFET. A capacitor is attached to the substrate under the clip plate and conductively connected to the first clip ridge and to the drain of the first MOSFET.
Abstract:
Power supply system comprises vertically sequentially a QFN leadframe, a first chip with FET terminals on opposite sides, a flat interposer, and a second chip with FET terminals and the terminals of the integrated driver-and-control circuit on a single side. Leadframe pad has a portion recessed as pocket with a depth and an outline suitable for attaching the first chip with one terminal in the pocket and the opposite terminal co-planar with the un-recessed pad surface. The interposer comprises metal patterned in traces separated by gaps; the traces include metal of a first height and metal of a second height smaller than the first height, and insulating material filling the gaps and the height differences; one interposer side attached to the leadframe pad with the first chip, the opposite interposer side attached to the terminals of the second chip.

A semiconductor package includes a leadframe and a semiconductor die attached to the leadframe by way of solder posts. In a stacked arrangement, the package also includes a passive component disposed between the leadframe and the semiconductor die and electrically connected to the semiconductor die through the leadframe.
Abstract:
Disclosed examples include power modules and fabrication methods therefor in which one or more power device dies include a switching device and a second device die with a circuit component are mounted to a lead frame or other interconnect structure on a substrate structure, and a body structure is formed around portions of the power module providing a first opening to expose a portion of the substrate structure to provide an externally accessible first exposed surface along the top of the power module, and the body structure includes a second opening exposing a portion of the first device die along the bottom of the power module to provide a thermally conductive path to draw heat away from the power device dies.

A semiconductor package includes a leadframe, a semiconductor die attached to the leadframe, and a passive component electrically connected to the semiconductor die through the leadframe. The leadframe includes a cavity in a side of the leadframe opposite the semiconductor die, and at least a portion of the passive component resides within the cavity in a stacked arrangement.
