ABSTRACT:
One embodiment provides a semiconductor assembly including a printed circuit board and a semiconductor package. The semiconductor package includes a lead frame having a die pad and a plurality of leads spaced from the die pad, a chip attached to the die pad on a front face of the lead frame, at least one electrically conductive structure element mechanically coupled to but electrically isolated from the front face of the lead frame, at least one connector electrically connecting the chip to the structure element, at least one connector electrically connecting the structure element to at least one of the leads, and a mold material encasing the semiconductor package except for an end portion of the leads which are electrically connected to the printed circuit board.
