A leadframe includes a die pad for mounting a semiconductor die with its top side facing up using a die attach resin material including a resin, the leadframe having leads or lead terminals beyond the die pad. The die pad includes slots including a first slot and at least a second slot on at least a first side of the die pad that penetrate a full thickness of the die pad. At least one non-penetrating groove is in the die pad for providing a fluid connection including between the first and second slots for providing a flow channel for guiding the resin when received by the grooves after bleeding out from under the semiconductor die to flow to at least one of the first slot and the second slot.
