Two part package for a semiconductor die

A semiconductor device which comprises:

• a semiconductor die containing on one face thereof a plurality of solder bumps;
• a corresponding plurality of electrically-conducting first leads attached to and held on the face of said die by said solder bumps, each lead containing a selectively shaped bend therein in a portion of the lead beyond the solder bump, said bend relieving thermal stresses induced in said lead;
• first packaging material surrounding said semiconductor die and said leads to beyond said bends thereby providing a package for said semiconductor die from which protrude selected portions of said first leads;
• a second group of leads attached on a one-to-one basis to said selected portions of said first leads protruding from said package, and
• second packaging material surrounding and contacting on all exposed surfaces said first packaging material and covering all of the exposed surfaces of said first group of leads and portions of each lead in said second group.
