Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:an insulating substrate with a conductive lead formed on a top substrate surface thereof, a first semiconductor chip with a first bottom chip surface area being smaller than a first top chip surface area thereof, the first semiconductor chip having an electronic circuit and an electrode pad formed on a first top chip surface thereof and the first semiconductor chip being fixed via a first adhesive to the top substrate surface of the insulating substrate, wherein the first semiconductor chip has a first outer peripheral end located between the first top chip surface and a first bottom chip surface, the first outer peripheral end having a first step shape, a conductive wire that electrically connects the conductive lead of the insulating substrate to the electrode pad of the first semiconductor chip, a sealing material that is arranged on the insulating substrate to seal the first semiconductor chip and the conductive wire, and an electrode used for external connection and formed on a bottom substrate surface of the insulating substrate opposite to the top substrate surface.
