Abstract:
A semiconductor apparatus substrate for mounting a semiconductor device thereon to form a semiconductor apparatus, comprising:a substrate member having a mounting surface for mounting the semiconductor device and an opposite surface opposite to the mounting surface; a plurality of leads supported by the mounting surface of the substrate member for wire-bonding to the semiconductor device and extending from side edges of the substrate member so that at least one lead extending from a side edge passes through a gap between a pair of other leads extending from different side edges; a conduction section disposed on said opposite surface, the conduction section being disposed so as not to extend directly beneath the semiconductor device, and being electrically connected to each of the leads at the side edges of the substrate to thereby form at least a part of an external terminal, at least one of the leads being elongated and having a portion located on said mounting surface under the semiconductor device and a remaining portion located on said mounting surface not under the semiconductor device depending on the size of the semiconductor device.
