Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor chip having an active surface and an inactive surface disposed opposite the active surface; a lead frame having an exposed portion for external connection; a bonding wire connecting the active surface of the semiconductor chip and the lead frame; and a protective resin covering a sidewall of the semiconductor chip, the lead frame and the bonding wire, the inactive surface for the semiconductor chip being exposed to the outside of the protective resin, the exposed portion of the lead frame being exposed to the outside of the protective resin, the protective resin having a first surface formed so as to be flush with the inactive surface of the semiconductor chip and a second surface, opposite the first surface, formed so as to be flush with a surface of the exposed portion of the lead frame; wherein the semiconductor chip and the lead frame are separated from each other; and wherein the semiconductor chip and the lead frame do not overlap each other as seen from a direction perpendicular to the inactive surface; wherein the semiconductor chip is thinned; wherein the surface of the lead frame on the semiconductor chip side has a portion that is aligned with the active surface of the semiconductor chip.
