An over-molded leadframe (e.g., a Quad Flat No-lead (QFN)) package capable
of operating at frequencies in the range of about five gigahertz (GHz) to
about 300 GHz and a method of making the QFN package are disclosed. The
QFN package includes a capacitance lead configured to substantially
reduce and/or offset the inductance created by one or more wirebonds used
to connect an integrated circuit (IC) chip on the package to an
input/output (I/O) lead. The IC chip is connected to the capacitance lead
via one or more wirebonds, and the capacitance lead is then connected to
the I/O lead via at least a second wirebond. Thus, inductance created by
the one or more wirebonds on the package is substantially reduced and/or
offset by the capacitance lead prior to a signal being output by the
package and/or received by the IC chip.
