Abstract
In order to suppress defective lead forming and defective mounting, a semiconductor device comprises a sealing body which has a square planar shape, a semiconductor chip which lies within the sealing body, and a plurality of leads which are electrically connected with electrodes of the semiconductor chip, which extend inside and outside the sealing body and which are arrayed along latera of the sealing body, wherein an outer lead portion of each of the leads is such that a root part which protrudes out of the sealing body is formed at a lead width being equal to or greater than a lead thickness, and that a mounting part which joins to the root part through an intermediate part is formed at a lead width being less than the lead thickness.
Claims4
A method of manufacturing an electronic device comprising the steps of:
- providing a semiconductor device having a semiconductor chip which is formed with semiconductor elements and a plurality of electrodes on its principal surface, a plurality of leads each having an inner portion and an outer portion, a plurality of wires electrically connecting the electrodes of the semiconductor chip with the inner portions of the leads and a sealing body encapsulating the semiconductor chip, the inner portions of the leads and the wires, wherein each of the outer portions of the leads are formed into gull-wing shape having a first part which extends in a direction away from the sealing body, a second part which bends downwards from the first part, a third part which extends from the second part in a direction away from the sealing body, a first bent portion formed between the first part and the second part and a second bent portion formed between the second part and the third part;
- providing a mounting substrate having a principal surface and a plurality of electrodes formed on the principal surface;
- and
- soldering the third parts of the leads on respective electrodes of the mounting substrate,
- wherein each of the first bent portion has a width equal to or greater than a thickness of the lead,
- wherein each of the third part has a width less than a thickness of the lead, and
- wherein the plurality of leads are arrays in a width direction of the leads.
