Abstract:
An electronic component includes a semiconductor substrate (101, 301, 401), an electrically conductive layer (102, 103, 302, 303, 402, 403) supported by the semiconductor substrate (101, 301, 401), and a lead (110, 120, 210, 310, 410, 420) having an electrical coupling portion (112, 122, 212, 312, 412, 422) coupled to and supported by the electrically conductive layer (102, 103, 302, 303, 402, 403) wherein the electrical coupling portion (112, 122, 212, 312, 412, 422) has at least one notch (115, 215, 315) adjacent to the electrically conductive layer (102, 103, 302, 303, 402, 403).
