Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided multiple embodiments of a concentrated photovoltaic receiver package or module. In each embodiment of the present invention, the module comprises a leadframe including a first section and a second section disposed in spaced relation to each other. Mounted to the first section of the leadframe is a receiver die. The receiver die is electrically connected to both the first and second sections of the leadframe. In one embodiment of the present invention, the receiver die is electrically connected to the second section of the leadframe by a plurality of conductive wires. In another embodiment of the present invention, the receiver die is electrically connected to the second section of the leadframe by a conductive bonding material. Portions of the leadframe may optionally be covered by a molded body which can be used to define an alignment feature for a light concentrating device such as a light guide or optical rod.
