Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor chip having a first surface with plural electrode pads along a peripheral edge portion thereof, a frame-shaped package substrate having an opening of a size greater than the size of said semiconductor chip, said substrate being thicker than the chip and, along an edge of the opening on one surface, having a plurality of electrode portions corresponding to said respective electrode pads, a lead terminal connected to each of the electrode pads of the semiconductor chip, said chip being disposed in said opening with said first surface being substantially in the plane of said one surface and the lead terminals being connected to the corresponding electrode portions of said package substrate, each of the lead terminals at an end connected to the electrode pad, having a cut-away portion so that the lead does not contact said first surface, a cover secured on said substrate to cover said one surface and the first surface of said chip and engaging the lead terminals, and sealing resin for filling all spaces in said opening and between said cover and said substrate and chip.
