Abstract

See full text

A packaged power transistor device includes a Direct-Bonded Copper (“DBC”) substrate. Contact pads of a first lead are attached with solderless welds to a metal layer of the DBC substrate. In a first example, the solderless welds are ultrasonic welds. In a second example, the solderless welds are laser welds. A single power transistor realized on a single semiconductor die is attached to the DBC substrate. In one example, a first bond pad of the die is wire bonded to a second lead, and a second bond pad of the die is wire bonded to a third lead. The die, the wire bonds, and the metal layer of the DBC substrate are covered with an amount of plastic encapsulant. Lead trimming is performed to separate the first, second and third leads from the remainder of a leadframe, the result being the packaged power transistor device.
