Abstract: This invention prevents deterioration in characteristics of a semiconductor device having a lead frame that is thin and uniform in thickness. More specifically, this invention relieves resin distortion caused by a difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the lead frame and the sealing resin in order to prevent the characteristic deterioration caused by some factors such as moisture invasion from outside and mechanical pressure. A lead frame for a resin-sealed semiconductor device of this invention is composed of an element-mount part, a horizontal part for fixing the lead frame for resin sealing, and a central lead having side leads formed in parallel on both sides thereof. The element-mount part, the horizontal part and the central lead are formed integrally. In the lead frame, at least one pair of resin-anchoring parts are formed on two opposing sides on the periphery of the element-mount part.
