  • Patent number: 11264313
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a molded body and an interconnection layer. The molded body includes a semiconductor chip, at least one terminal body disposed around the semiconductor chip and a resin member provided between the semiconductor chip and the terminal body. The molded body has a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and a side surface connected to the first and second surfaces. The interconnection layer is provided on the first surface of the molded body. The interconnection layer includes an interconnect electrically connecting the semiconductor chip and the terminal body. The terminal body has first and second contact surfaces. The first contact surface is exposed at the first or second surface of the molded body. The second contact surface is connected to the first contact surface and exposed at the side surface of the molded body.
