Abstract: A resin molded semiconductor device includes external electrodes provided on and connected to the electrodes of a semiconductor element. The semiconductor device is produced by coating the electrodes of the semiconductor element with a coating resin encapsulating the semiconductor element in a sealing resin in a mold and then dissolving the coating resin. Then, a metal is disposed in the holes formed in the sealing resin to provide external electrodes. Since the external electrodes are provided on the electrodes of the semiconductor element, the packaging area has the same dimensions as the resin package, and the packaging area of the semiconductor device can be reduced.
