Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:a semiconductor chip; a first lead connected to an electrode of the semiconductor chip; a second lead connected to another electrode of the semiconductor chip; and a resin package sealing the semiconductor chip, an inner terminal of the first lead, and an inner terminal of the second lead; wherein the resin package includes a first to a fourth side surfaces, an upper surface and a bottom surface, wherein each of the first and the second leads includes at least one outer terminal located near a corner portion of the resin package and extending along a same side surface of the first to the fourth side surfaces, another of the side surfaces adjacent to said same side surface and the bottom surface of the resin package; wherein the outer terminal of the first lead includes a drop portion extending from the corresponding inner terminal along the first side surface of the resin package, a bottom portion extending from the drop portion along the bottom surface of the resin package, and a riser portion extending from the bottom portion along the third side surface of the resin package, and wherein the outer terminal of the second lead includes a drop portion extending from the corresponding inner terminal along the first side surface of the resin package, a bottom portion extending from the drop portion along the bottom surface of the resin package, and a riser portion extending from the bottom portion along the fourth side surface opposite to the third side surface, of the resin package.
