Patents by Inventor Shirou OKADA

Shirou OKADA has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9368432
    Abstract: A technique capable of enhancing a reliability of a semiconductor device is provided. A semiconductor device has a die pad on which a semiconductor chip is mounted. The die pad is sealed with resin so that a lower surface located on an opposite side of an upper surface on which the semiconductor chip is mounted is exposed. Also, the die pad has a central part including a region in which the semiconductor chip is mounted and a peripheral edge part provided next to the central part in a planar view. In addition, a step surface formed so that a height of the peripheral edge part becomes higher than a height of the central part is provided at a boundary between the central part and the peripheral edge part.
    Type: Grant
