Abstract:
1. A resin-encapsulated package, having terminals including some exposed terminals, said resin-encapsulated package comprising: a semiconductor IC chip sealed in a resin molding, and a lead member having an arrangement of a plurality of discrete terminal sections; wherein each of the terminal sections has inner terminal parts to be electrically connected to terminals of the semiconductor IC chip, outer terminal parts to be connected to external circuits, and connecting parts interconnecting the inner and the outer terminal parts, the inner and the outer terminal parts are formed such that contact surfaces of the inner terminal parts and those of the outer terminal parts face toward opposite directions, respectively, the inner terminal parts and the connecting parts are thin, and the outer terminal parts are thicker than the inner terminal parts and the connecting parts, the contact surfaces of the inner terminal parts of the terminal sections are flush with each other, a terminal-side surface of the semiconductor IC chip on the side of the terminals faces a surface of the lead member on the side of the contact surfaces of the inner terminal parts, the terminals of the semiconductor IC chip are joined to or in contact with the contact surfaces of the inner terminal parts of the lead member, the terminals of the semiconductor IC chip are connected electrically to the inner terminal parts of the lead member, the contact surfaces of the inner terminal parts are coated with a conductive paste layer, and the terminals of the semiconductor IC chip and the inner terminal parts of the lead member are connected electrically through the conductive paste layer.
