Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:providing a lead frame including an array of mounting portions connected by joint bars, each of the mounting portions having an island for mounting a semiconductor chip thereon and having a plurality of lead terminals extending from the island, wherein the lead terminals comprise external connection terminals for forming an electrical connection to another semiconductor chip mounted on an adjacent island along the array of mounting portions; mounting a semiconductor chip on a first surface of the island; electrically connecting the semiconductor chip to the lead terminals extending from an adjacent island along the array; forming a resin layer so as to cover the semiconductor chip, the first surface of the island, and first surfaces of the lead terminals, wherein a second surface of the island opposite the first surface of the island and second surfaces of the lead terminals opposite the first surfaces of the lead terminals are free of the resin layer so as to be exposed; and separating the lead frame so as to form a package including a region surrounding the island and the lead terminals electrically connected to the semiconductor chip mounted on the island.
