  • Patent number: 9129979
    Abstract: It is made for the layout of the mounting wiring at the time of mounting to become efficient by changing the structure of a semiconductor device. A first chip is mounted on a first die pad, and a second chip is also mounted on a second die pad. A first die pad and a second die pad do division structure in parallel to the first side and second side of sealing body 40. As a result, the pin for an output from a first chip and the pin for control of the circuit for a drive can make it able to project from a counter direction, and can set the wiring layout at the time of mounting as the minimum route.

The semiconductor chips are so arranged that the upper semiconductor chip does not overlap with a gate pad electrode of the lower semiconductor chip in a plan view. The semiconductor chips are identical in size and the respective source pad electrodes and gate pad electrodes of the lower semiconductor chip and the upper semiconductor chip are identical in shape and arrangement. The lower semiconductor chip and the upper semiconductor chip are arranged with their respective centers displaced from each other. Accordingly, the size of a semiconductor device can be reduced.
