Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:an encapsulation element made of insulating resin;a support substrate made of metal covered at least in a part thereof by said encapsulation element and uncovered by said encapsulation element at a lower surface thereof;a suspended lead contiguous with said support substrate protruding from one side surface of said encapsulation element;a second electrode lead and a control electrode lead protruding in parallel from said one side surface of said encapsulation element;a semiconductor chip covered by said encapsulation element and having a first electrode on a lower surface thereof and a second electrode and a control electrode on an upper surface thereof, the lower surface being secured to said support substrate through a conductive bonding material; andwires positioned in said encapsulation element for establishing electrical connection between said second electrode and said second electrode lead and between said control electrode and said control electrode lead,whereinsaid second electrode lead comprises a plurality of leads in parallel with each other which are coupled to one coupling portion in said encapsulation element at the ends thereof; andsaid coupling portion and the second electrode of said semiconductor chip are connected to each other by a plurality of wires in parallel with each other.
