A method of fabricating a semiconductor package, and a semiconductor
package formed thereby, are disclosed. The semiconductor package may
include one or more semiconductor die having die attach pads along a
single side. The leadframe may include a plurality of elongated
electrical leads, extending from a first side of the leadframe, beneath
the die, and terminating at a second side of the leadframe adjacent to
the bond pads along the single edge of the die. The leadframe may further
include a dielectric spacer layer on the elongated leads. Spacing the
semiconductor die from the elongated leads using the spacer layer reduces
the parasitic capacitance and/or inductance of the semiconductor package
formed thereby.
