ABSTRACT:
A process for fabricating an integrated circuit package includes: selectively etching a leadframe strip to define a die attach pad and at least one row of contact pads; mounting a semiconductor die to one side of the leadframe strip, on the die attach pad; wire bonding the semiconductor die to ones of the contact pads; releasably clamping the leadframe strip in a mold by releasably clamping the contact pads; molding in a molding compound to cover the semiconductor die, the wire bonds and a portion of the contact pads not covered by the clamping; releasing the leadframe strip from the mold; depositing a plurality of external contacts on the one side of the leadframe strip, on the contact pads, such that the external contacts protrude from the molding compound; mounting at least one of an active and a passive component to a second side of said leadframe strip; and singulating to provide the integrated circuit package.
