Abstract

A leadframe includes a die pad, a plurality of tie bars, a plurality of metal extrusions and a plurality of leads. The leads are arranged around the die pad. The tie bars are connected to the corners of the die pad, and the metal extrusions are connected to the sides of the die pad but separated from the tie bars. Each metal extrusion has a locking hole and a bonding surface, which is higher than the die pad. The metal extrusions are configured for improving ground connections by wire-bonding. When a bottom surface of the die pad is exposed from an encapsulant for a semiconductor package, the metal extrusions help to secure the die pad without stress transmission.
