Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a base; a first mount placed on the bottom of the base; a second mount placed on the top of the base; a first light-emitting element placed on the bottom of the first mount; a second light-emitting element placed on the top of the second mount for emitting light; a first frame placed on the bottom of the base to surround the first mount and the first light-emitting element except for the side corresponding to the emission direction of light from the first light-emitting element; a plurality of leads electrically connected to any one of the first light-emitting element, the second light-emitting element, the first mount, and the second mount; and a light-transmitting resin placed on the top of the base for hermetically sealing the second light-emitting element, the second mount, and part of each of the plurality of leads, wherein the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element are placed so that the emission direction of light from the second light-emitting element is at an angle of depression with respect to the emission direction of light from the first light-emitting element and that the emission direction of light from the first light-emitting element and the emission direction of light from the second light-emitting element substantially coincide with each other as viewed from above the base, the base is inclined so that the thickness is smaller in the emission direction of light from the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element, the second light-emitting element emits light of a shorter wavelength than the first light-emitting element, and the light emission face of the second light-emitting element is at a position behind the light emission face of the first light-emitting element with respect to the traveling direction of emitted light from the second light-emitting element.
