Abstract: Technology capable of improving reliability of a semiconductor device is provided. In the present invention, a gate pad GPj formed on a front surface of a semiconductor chip CHP1 is disposed so as to be closer to a source lead SL than to other leads (a drain lead DL and a gate lead GL). As a result, according to the present invention, a distance between the gate pad GPj and the source lead SL can be shortened, and thus a length of the wire Wgj for connecting the gate pad GPj and the source lead SL together can be shortened. Thus, according to the present invention, a parasitic inductance that is present in the wire Wgj can be sufficiently reduced.
