Abstract: Even when a thermal stress is applied to an electrode pad, the electrode pad is prevented from being moved. A substrate of a semiconductor chip has a rectangular planar shape. The semiconductor chip has a plurality of electrode pads. The center of a first electrode pad is positioned closer to the end of a first side in the direction along the first side of the substrate as compared to the center of a first opening. Thus, in a part of the first electrode pad covered with an insulating film, a width of the part closer to the end of the first side in the direction along the first side is larger than another width of the part opposite to the above-mentioned width.

Abstract: The yield of semiconductor devices is improved. In an upper die of a resin molding die including a pair of the upper die and a lower die, by lengthening the radius of the cross section of an inner peripheral surface of a second corner part facing an injection gate of a cavity more than that of the other corner part, a void contained in a resin in resin injection can be pushed out into an air vent without allowing the void to remain in the second corner part of the cavity. Consequently, the occurrence of the void in the cavity can be prevented and then the occurrence of the appearance defect of the semiconductor device can be prevented.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a leadframe having slits around a semiconductor device forming area to absorb distortion or warpage of the leadframe because of the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion of the leadframe and a sealing resin. The present invention is directed to limiting shifting of the outer leads caused by distortion or contraction of the leadframe and preventing cutting of the outer leads in a tie bar cutting process. To achieve these goals, positioning holes are provided on the inner portion of the leadframe in the vicinity of the tie bars at the three corners of the semiconductor device forming area but not at a corner where the resin injecting portion is located.
