Claim Text:
1. A connector for electrically connecting a chip electrode, arranged on one main surface of a semiconductor element, to a lead constituting an external leading terminal of the chip electrode, comprising: a plate shape portion including a first main surface and a second main surface; a first interface arranged on the first main surface joined to the chip electrode; a second interface arranged on the first main surface joined to a base end part of the lead; and a first step formed between the first interface and an entire surface of the first main surface except for the first interface and extending in a direction perpendicular to a direction from the first interface toward the second interface such that the entire surface of the first main surface except for the first interface is arranged away from a surface of the chip electrode, wherein a height between the surface of the chip electrode and the first main surface except for the first interface is equal to or less than a half of a thickness of the connector.
