1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a semiconductor die; and
a lead frame attached to the semiconductor die without using a bond wire;
wherein the die and the lead frame are substantially encapsulated except for a part of the bottoms of the die and the lead frame so that any exposed lead frame surface is substantially coplanar with the encapsulation and wherein the device contains no leads connected to a drain of the die on the drain side of the die.
