A method for forming an isolated inner lead from a leadframe is revealed. The leadframe primarily comprises a plurality of leads, the isolated inner lead, and an external lead. Each lead has an inner portion having a finger. The isolated inner lead having two fingers is completely formed inside a molding area and is made of the same metal leadframe as the leads. One finger of the isolated inner lead and the fingers of the leads are linearly arranged. The other finger of the isolated inner lead is adjacent to a finger of the external lead. At least one of the inner portions divides the isolated inner lead from the external lead. The isolated inner lead is integrally connected to an adjacent one of the inner portions by a connecting block. A tape-attaching step is performed to mechanically connect the isolated inner lead where two insulating tapes are attached in a manner that the connecting block can be removed. Therefore, the isolated inner lead is electrically isolated from the leads and can be mechanically fixed to replace extra redistributing components during semiconductor packaging processes.
