  • Patent number: 8367479
    Abstract: To prevent, in a resin-sealed type semiconductor package, generation of cracks in a die bonding material used for mounting of a semiconductor chip. A semiconductor chip is mounted over the upper surface of a die pad via a die bonding material, followed by sealing with an insulating resin. The top surface of the die pad to be brought into contact with the insulating resin is surface-roughened, while the bottom surface of the die pad and an outer lead portion are not surface-roughened.

  • Patent number: 8338927
    Abstract: The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip, a chip mounting portion, a suspension lead, and a plurality of leads. Each of the plurality of leads has a first part and a second part, and the suspension lead has a first part and a second part. The first part of each of the plurality of leads and the suspension lead project from the plurality of side surfaces of the sealing body, respectively. Parts of the side surfaces of the plurality of leads and the suspension lead are exposed from the plurality of side surfaces of the sealing body, respectively. An area of the obverse surface of the first part of the suspension lead is larger than an area of the obverse surface of the first part of each of the plurality of leads in a plan view.

  • Patent number: 8298859
    Abstract: There is a need for providing a technology capable of decreasing on-resistance of a power transistor in a semiconductor device that integrates the power transistor and a control integrated circuit into a single semiconductor chip. There is another need for providing a technology capable of reducing a chip size of a semiconductor device. A semiconductor chip includes a power transistor formation region to form a power transistor, a logic circuit formation region to form a logic circuit, and an analog circuit formation region to form an analog circuit. A pad is formed in the power transistor formation region. The pad and a lead are connected through a clip whose cross section is larger than that of a wire. On the other hand, a bonding pad is connected through the wire.
