Abstract
A semiconductor device comprising a leadframe (903), which has first (903a) and second (903b) surfaces, a planar pad (910) of a certain size, and a plurality of non-coplanar members (913) adjoining the pad. The device further has a heat spreader (920) with first (920a) and second (920b) surfaces, a planar pad of a size matching the leadframe pad size, and contours (922), into which the leadframe members are inserted so that the first spreader pad surface touches the second leadframe pad surface across the pad size. A semiconductor chip (904) is mounted on the first leadframe pad surface. Encapsulation material (930), preferably molding compound, covers the chip, but leaves the second spreader surface uncovered.
