Abstract:
1. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of: providing a rigid substrate which supports one or more semiconductor elements on a surface of the substrate and is clamped between an upper mold and a lower mold of an encapsulation mold at a time of resin encapsulation, so that a vent-end edge portion of the substrate corresponding to a vent end of the encapsulation mold has a thickness smaller than a thickness of other portions of the substrate; disposing the substrate in the encapsulation mold; injecting resin into a cavity between the upper mold and the substrate to encapsulate the semiconductor elements with the resin; and wherein the substrate is provided so that only a part of the vent-end edge portion of the substrate has a thickness smaller than the thickness of the other portions of the substrate.
