Abstract

A structure and method are provided to allow a die to be packaged more uniformly and in parallel with a package by utilizing a lead frame having at least one cavity within the lead frame, thereby allowing excess die-attach epoxy can flow into the cavity or cavities and reducing the amount of contact surface area between the die and lead frame.
