SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE PACKAGE WITH CLIP INTERCONNECT AND DUAL SIDE COOLING

In a general aspect, a packaged semiconductor device apparatus a conductive paddle, a semiconductor die coupled with the conductive paddle and a conductive clip having a first portion with a first thickness and a second portion with a second thickness. The first thickness can be greater than the second thickness. The first portion can be coupled with the semiconductor die. The device can also include a molding compound encapsulating the semiconductor die and at least partially encapsulating the conductive paddle and the conductive clip. The device can further include a signal lead that is at least partially encapsulated in the molding compound, the second portion of the conductive clip being coupled with the signal lead.
