Abstract: The present invention relates a semiconductor device, and in particular, it aims at providing a semiconductor device having high reliability by making coating of a region where a gold wire has been used, which has been performed for preventing deformation and breakage of the gold wire in pressure fitting of resin, unnecessary and preventing deformation and breakage of the gold wire without increasing the fabrication cost, in a semiconductor device packaging a power device and a control device controlling this power device. In order to attain the aforementioned object, a mold gate (21) is provided on a molding die (20) employed in fabrication of the semiconductor device to be positioned on a side where a power device (PD) is arranged in a state placing a lead frame (10).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, and more particularly, it aims at providing a semiconductor device which is excellent in workability of assembly and reduces the assembly cost in a semiconductor device packaging a power device and a control device controlling this power device.In order to attain the aforementioned object, it shows a lead frame (10) before mounting a power device (PD) and a control device (CD), and a region where a gold wire (W2) is arranged and a region where the power device (PD) is arranged are silver-plated regions (A). Further, a region where an aluminum wire (W1) is arranged is a nickel-plated region (B). Further, a power device die pad (1A) is connected to a tie bar (5) and a frame (6) by suspension leads (40 to 45), and supported in three directions. Further, an intermediate lead (3A to 3D) is formed in the vicinity of the control device (CD).
