Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:(a) an insulating tape having a hole of rectangular shape, said hole being defined by first and second opposed longer side ends extending in a first direction and a pair of opposed shorter side ends extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to said first direction;(b) a semiconductor chip having a main surface of a rectangular shape, said main surface having first and second opposed longer edges extending in said first direction and first and second opposed shorter edges extending in said second direction, said semiconductor chip being disposed in said hole of said insulating tape;said semiconductor chip having:an integrated circuit having a plurality of semiconductor elements, being formed on said main surface;first bonding pads being formed on said main surface and being arranged along said first opposed longer edge of said main surface of said semiconductor chip and being electrically connected with said integrated circuit; andsecond bonding pads being formed on said main surface and being arranged along said second opposed longer edge of said main surface of said semiconductor chip and being not electrically connected with said integrated circuit;(c) first leads disposed on said insulating tape and extending in said second direction, said first leads crossing said first opposed longer side end of said insulating tape and said first opposed longer edge of said main surface of said semiconductor chip, each of said first leads having one end disposed on said main surface of said semiconductor chip;(d) second leads disposed on said insulating tape and extending in said second direction, said second leads crossing said second opposed longer side end and said second opposed longer edge of said main surface of said semiconductor chip, each of said first leads having one end disposed on said main surface of said semiconductor chip;(e) third leads disposed on said insulating tape and extending in said second direction, said third leads crossing said second opposed longer side end and said second longer edge of said main surface of said semiconductor chip, each of said third leads having one end disposed on said main surface of said semiconductor chip; and(f) a resin member sealing said main surface of said semiconductor chip, each said one end of said first to third leads and a space defined by said semiconductor chip and said insulating tape,wherein each said one end of said first leads are connected to said first bonding pads via first bump electrodes,wherein each said one end of said second leads are connected to said second bonding pads via second bump electrodes,wherein each said one end of said third leads are spaced from said main surface of said semiconductor chip,wherein a portion of said resin member extends onto said second leads at said space defined by said semiconductor chip and said insulating tape;wherein said second bonding pads are disposed at the vicinity of two corners defined by said second opposed longer edge and said pair of opposed shorter edges of said semiconductor chip; andwherein said third leads are disposed between said second leads which are connected to said second bonding pads disposed at the vicinity of said two corners.
