Zusammenfassung:A lead frame strip includes a plurality of connected unit lead frames, each unit lead frame having a die paddle and a plurality of leads connected to a periphery of the unit lead frame. A semiconductor die is attached to each of the die paddles, the unit lead frames are covered with a molding compound after the semiconductor dies are attached to the die paddles, and a laser beam is directed at regions of the periphery of each unit lead frame where the leads are located thereby forming spaced apart cuts in the periphery of each unit lead frame. The spaced apart cuts sever the leads from the periphery of each unit lead frame and extend at least partially into the molding compound in the regions of the periphery where the leads are located so that the molding compound remains intact between the spaced apart cuts.
