Abstract

A semiconductor die package. The semiconductor die package comprises a semiconductor die and a molded clip structure comprising a clip structure and a first molding material covering at least a portion of the clip structure. The first molding material exposes an outer surface of the clip structure. The clip structure is electrically coupled to the semiconductor die. The semiconductor die package further comprises a leadframe structure comprising a die attach pad and a plurality of leads extending from the die attach pad. The semiconductor die is on the die attach pad of the leadframe structure. A second molding material covers at least a portion of the semiconductor die and the leadframe structure. The semiconductor die package also includes a heat slug and a thermally conductive material coupling the heat slug to the exposed surface of the clip structure.

Claims (17)

1. A semiconductor die package comprising:

a semiconductor die;

a molded clip structure comprising a clip structure and a first molding material covering at least a portion of the clip structure, and exposing an outer surface of the clip structure wherein the clip structure is electrically coupled to the semiconductor die;

a leadframe structure comprising a die attach pad and a plurality of leads extending from the die attach pad, wherein the semiconductor die is on the die attach pad of the leadframe structure;

a second molding material covering at least a portion of the semiconductor die and the leadframe structure;

a heat slug; and

a thermally conductive material coupling the heat slug to the exposed surface of the clip structure.

2. The semiconductor die package of claim 1 wherein the semiconductor die comprises a first surface comprising an input region and a second surface comprising an output region, the input region being coupled to the clip structure and the output region coupled to the die attach pad of the leadframe structure.

3. The semiconductor die package of claim 1 wherein the semiconductor die comprises a first surface comprising a source region and a gate region and a second surface comprising a drain region, and wherein the gate region and the drain region are coupled to the clip structure and the drain region is coupled to the die attach pad of the leadframe structure.

4. The semiconductor die package of claim 3 wherein the semiconductor die comprises a power MOSFET.

5. The semiconductor die package of claim 3 wherein the clip structure comprises a gate clip structure and a source clip structure, and wherein the gate clip structure is coupled to the gate region in the semiconductor die and the source clip structure is coupled to the source region in the semiconductor die.

6. The semiconductor die package of claim 5 wherein the source clip structure comprises an aperture.

7. The semiconductor die package of claim 5 wherein the gate clip structure comprises an aperture.

8. The semiconductor die package of claim 7 comprising solder coupling the gate clip structure and the gate region.

9. The semiconductor die package of claim 1 wherein the heat slug comprises a first portion having a first thickness and a second portion comprising a second thickness, and wherein the first thickness and the second thickness are different.

10. The semiconductor die package of claim 1 further comprising an aperture in the heat slug.

11. A system comprising the semiconductor die package of claim 1 .
