  • Publication number: 20240030159
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element, a lead frame, a conductive member, a resin composition and a sealing resin. The semiconductor element has an element front surface and an element back surface facing away in a first direction. The semiconductor element is mounted on the lead frame. The conductive member is bonded to the lead frame, electrically connecting the semiconductor element and the lead frame. The resin composition covers a bonded region where the conductive member and lead frame are bonded while exposing part of the element front surface. The sealing resin covers part of the lead frame, the semiconductor element, and the resin composition.
