Methods are provided for forming Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) packages. An embodiment includes disposing an active side of a semiconductor chip on a plurality of leads, coupling a plurality of wire bonds to the active side of the semiconductor chip, coupling the plurality of wire bonds to the plurality of leads in a space between the active side and the plurality of leads, and encasing the semiconductor chip, at least a portion of each of the plurality of leads, and the plurality of wire bonds in a mold material to define a mounting side of the QFN package. The mounting side has a perimeter, the plurality of leads are oriented on and exposed on the mounting side within the perimeter, and the plurality of wire bonds are oriented between the active side and the mounting side within the mold material.
