Abstract: Described is a semiconductor device comprising a plurality of inner leads each made of copper or an alloy thereof; a heat sink made of copper or an alloy thereof, bonded to one end of each of a plurality of inner leads via an insulating adhesive layer and having a semiconductor element mounted on the heat sink via a metal wire; a plurality of metal wires each electrically connecting the semiconductor element and each of the plurality of inner leads; an encapsulating resin encapsulating the semiconductor element and the plurality of metal wires; and a plurality of outer leads protruded outside of the encapsulating resin and bent in the gullwing form. The encapsulating resin has been added with an additive forming a compound with an ionic impurity so that water at the peeling portion becomes near neutral, which prevents reaction and easy elution of copper, thereby preventing Cu migration.

Abstract: In a semiconductor device which is assembled by making use of a lead frame 1 with a heat radiation plate 3 in which the lead frame 1 and the heat radiation plate 3 made of copper or copper alloy are joined by an adhesive layer 2 formed on a surface of the heat radiation plate 3 and at least a part of the inner leads 1a of the lead frame 1 is applied of a plating for a metallic fine wire connection, at least the entire portion where the lead frame 1 joins with the adhesive layer 2 is covered by at least one metal or alloy thereof different from the metallic fine wire connecting use plating selected from the group consisting of gold, platinum, iridium, rhodium, palladium, ruthenium, indium, tin, molybdenum, tungsten, gallium, zinc, chromium, niobium, tantalum, titanium and zirconium. Thereby, generation of inconveniences such as leakage and shorting due to ion migration can be prevented.

Abstract: In a semiconductor device having a heat radiation plate, the tips of inner leads connected to a semiconductor chip have a lead width w and a lead thickness t, the width being less than the thickness. The inner leads are secured to the heat radiation plate. Fastening the inner leads to the heat radiation plate supports the latter and eliminates the need for suspending leads. A lead pitch p, the lead width w and lead thickness t of the inner lead tips connected to the semiconductor chip have the relations of w<t and p≧1.2 t, with the inner leads secured to the heat radiation plate. The heat radiation plate has slits made therein to form radially shaped heat propagation paths between a semiconductor chip mounting area and the inner leads.

Abstract: Video data indicating a scene of a surveillance area is produced by a surveillance camera and is compressed to high-compressed video data and low-compressed video data. The low-compressed video data having a large data volume is stored in a storing unit, and the high-compressed video data having a small data volume is transmitted to a surveillance apparatus through a communication line at high speed. Also, in cases where the occurrence of an unusual condition is detected by a detector, an unusual condition detecting signal is transmitted to the surveillance apparatus. In the surveillance apparatus, the high-compressed video data is expanded, and a low-definition scene image of the surveillance area is displayed as a real time image. When the unusual condition detecting signal is received, the signal is displayed, and a watchman can notice the occurrence of the unusual condition.
