Abstract:
An external storage device for storing data, comprising:a storage device module including: a substrate having a first face and a second face, the first face having a first region and a second region, a wiring pattern formed on the first face which extends from the first region to the second region, and the substrate having at least one through hole; a semiconductor element consisting essentially of at least one NAND type non-volatile semiconductor memory device capable of being electrically written with data to be stored, the semiconductor element having an input/output terminal, and being mounted in the first region of the first face of the substrate, and the input/output terminal connected with the wiring pattern in the first region; a bonding wire electrically connecting the semiconductor element to the wiring pattern; a sealing resin formed only on the first region of the first face of the substrate to seal the semiconductor element, the sealing resin formed into substantially a rectangular shape, wherein edges of the sealing resin are parallel to corresponding edges of the substrate, respectively; a flat type external connection terminal formed on the second face of the substrate, and the flat type external connection terminal connected to the wiring pattern via the at least one through hole; a card shaped support having a recess for receiving the storage device module so that the second face of the substrate is exposed to a surface of the support.
