Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:a semiconductor chip including an integrated circuit and external terminals formed in a major surface thereof;a first lead and a second lead, each having an inner lead and an outer lead which is formed integrally with said inner lead, said inner lead of each of said first and second leads having a first portion which extends on said major surface of said semiconductor chip and a second portion which is outside of said semiconductor chip;bonding wires electrically connecting said inner leads of said first and second leads with the corresponding external terminals of said external terminals, respectively; anda resin member sealing said semiconductor chip, said inner leads of said first and second leads and said bonding wires,wherein a thickness of said first portion of each of said first and second leads is thinner than a thickness of said second portion of each of said first and second leads in a thickness direction of said semiconductor chip,wherein said first portion of said first lead is spaced from said major surface of said semiconductor chip in said thickness direction of said semiconductor chip, andwherein said first portion of said second lead is bonded to said major surface of said semiconductor chip by an adhesive layer formed between said first portion of said second lead and said major surface of said semiconductor chip.
