Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor chip having a first main surface and a second main surface, the second main surface being located on a side of said semiconductor chip opposite to the first main surface, a surface area of the second main surface being larger than that of the first main surface, the semiconductor chip also having a side wall surface, the side wall surface connecting the first main surface with the second main surface, the side wall surface having an inclined portion adjacent to the first main surface; a first pad provided on the first main surface of the semiconductor chip; a frame-shaped member having a third main surface and a fourth main surface, the fourth main surface being located on a side of the frame-shaped member opposite to the third main surface, the frame-shaped member having an inner side wall that connects the third main surface with the fourth main surface, the frame-shaped member further having an outer side wall that connects the third main surface with the fourth main surface, the inner side wall facing the side wall surface of the semiconductor chip and surrounding the semiconductor chip; a first wiring pattern electrically connected to the first pad, the first wiring pattern extending from the first pad, along the first main surface and the inclined portion of the side wall surface, to the third main surface; and an external terminal provided over the third main surface, the external terminal being electrically connected to the first pad via the first wiring pattern.
