Patent ID: 7989932

Claim:
A semiconductor device, comprising: a lead frame including an outer lead portion including a plurality of outer leads and an inner lead portion including inner leads connected to the outer leads and a relay inner lead not directly connected to the outer leads; a semiconductor element group including at least one semiconductor element, mounted on a lower surface of the lead frame, and including electrode pads; an adhesive layer disposed between the lower surface of the lead frame and the semiconductor element; an insulating tape provided on an upper surface opposite to the lower surface of the lead frame to fix at least part of the inner lead portion; a connecting metal wire which electrically connects the inner lead portion and the electrode pads of the semiconductor element; and a resin sealing portion which seals the semiconductor element group together with the connecting metal wire, wherein one end of the relay inner lead is electrically connected to one of the electrode pads of the semiconductor element via the connecting metal wire, and another end of the relay inner lead is electrically connected to one of the outer leads via a relay metal wire disposed to step over one of the inner leads.
