Abstract
Abstract A molded plastic package for semiconductor devices incorporating a heat sink, controlled impedance leads and separate power and ground rings is described. The lead frame of the package, separated by a dielectric layer, is attached to a metal heat sink. It has more than one ring for power and ground connections. The die itself is attached directly onto the heat sink through a window on the dielectric and provides high power dissipation. The package is molded using conventional materials and equipment.
