One exemplary disclosed embodiment comprises a semiconductor package including an inside pad, a transistor, and a conductive clip coupled to the inside pad and a terminal of the transistor. A top surface of the conductive clip is substantially exposed at the top of the package, and a side surface of the conductive clip is exposed at a side of the package. By supporting the semiconductor package on an outside pad during the fabrication process and by removing the outside pad during singulation, the conductive clip may be kept substantially parallel and in alignment with the package substrate while optimizing the package form factor compared to conventional packages. The exposed top surface of the conductive clip may be further attached to a heat sink for enhanced thermal dissipation.
