POWER SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGE WITH IMPROVED PERFORMANCE

Abstract:

A power semiconductor package includes a power semiconductor die, a housing, a first lead, and a second lead. The housing includes a top side and a bottom side. The first lead is in contact with a first electrical contact of the power semiconductor die. Further, the first lead includes a heat exchanging portion on the top side of the housing and an electrical contact portion on the bottom side of the housing. At least 7.5 mm.sup.2 of the electrical contact portion of the first lead is available for contacting a printed circuit board. The second lead is in contact with a second electrical contact of the power semiconductor die. The second lead includes a heat exchanging portion on the bottom side of the housing and an electrical contact portion also on the bottom side of the housing.
