  • Publication number: 20200091060
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element, a first lead including a mounting portion for the semiconductor element and a first terminal portion connected to the mounting portion, and a sealing resin covering the semiconductor element and a portion of the first lead. The mounting portion has a mounting-portion front surface and a mounting-portion back surface opposite to each other in a thickness direction, with the semiconductor element mounted on the mounting-portion front surface. The sealing resin includes a resin front surface, a resin back surface and a resin side surface connecting the resin front surface and the resin back surface. The mounting-portion back surface of the first lead is flush with the resin back surface. The first terminal portion includes a first-terminal-portion back surface exposed from the resin back surface, in a manner such that the first-terminal-portion back surface extends to the resin side surface.

  • Publication number: 20200075440
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element, a first lead electrically connected to the semiconductor element, a sealing resin that covers the semiconductor element and a part of the first lead, and a recess formed in a surface flush with a back surface of the sealing resin. The sealing resin also has a front surface opposite to the back surface in a thickness direction, and a side surface connecting the front surface and the back surface to each other. The recess is formed, in part, by a part of the first lead that is exposed from the back surface of the sealing resin. The recess has an outer edge that forms a closed shape, as viewed in the thickness direction, within a region that includes the back surface of the sealing resin and the first lead.

  • Publication number: 20190139873
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element, leads, and an encapsulation resin covering a portion of each of the leads and the semiconductor element. Each of the leads includes an external connection portion projecting from a side surface of the encapsulation resin. The external connection portion of at least one of the leads has opposite ends in a width-wise direction that extends along the side surface of the encapsulation resin. The external connection portion includes two recesses arranged toward a center in the width-wise direction from the opposite ends. The two recesses extend from a distal surface toward the encapsulation resin. The opposite ends in the width-wise direction define an end connection part. The external connection portion includes a part between the two recesses defining a center connection part.
