Abstract
A semiconductor die (14) is mounted over a power supply surface (24, 52, 62). Signal bonding pads (18) on the die are wire bonded to corresponding leads (38) of a leadframe. Power supply bonding pads (20, 21) on the die are wire bonded to the power supply surface. A package body (22, 42, 56) surrounds the semiconductor die, the wire bonds (32, 34, 40, 40'), and the power supply surface. The power supply pad terminals are accessible from the bottom of the package body of the device through a plurality of conductive apertures (28, 56) disposed in the lower half of the package body. Power supply solder bumps (12, 58) are connected to the power supply surface inside the package body through the conductive apertures. The leads are used provide input and out signals for the device around the periphery of the device, while the solder bumps are disposed in an array format on the package body.
