  • Patent number: 9947553
    Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method comprises: Preparing a semiconductor chip 6 with a first electrode layer 21 formed on an element-forming surface 7. Prepared a support member 30 having a conductor 31 formed on a pattern-forming surface 33. The first electrode layer 21 is bonded to the conductor 31 by a solder, and thus the semiconductor chip 6 is fixed on the support member 30. While the semiconductor chip 6 is fixed on the support member 30, the semiconductor chip 6 is coated by the sealing resin 3 to form a sealing structure 46. By removing the support member 30 from the sealing structure 46, the conductor 31 formed on the support member 30 is transferred to the sealing structure 46. The conductor 31 transferred to the sealing structure 46 is an external electrode exposed from the sealing structure 46.
