Patent ID: 7732919

Claim:
A semiconductor device having semiconductor chips and a passive component mounted over a plate-like lead respectively, the semiconductor device comprising: a first plate-like lead having a first electrode part electrically coupled to an external terminal at one end of said passive component at the both ends of which external terminals are formed, said first electrode part being provided with a first concave portion; a second plate-like lead having a second electrode part spaced from said first plate-like lead and electrically coupled to an external terminal at the other end of said passive component, said second electrode part being provided with a second concave portion; jointing materials electrically coupling said first electrode part of said first plate-like lead with one said external terminal of said passive component and, also, said second electrode part of said second plate-like lead with the other said external terminal of said passive component, respectively; and sealing members for sealing said passive component and said semiconductor chip with a resin, wherein, at said first electrode part of said first plate-like lead, said one external terminals of said passive component are coupled to said first electrode parts on both sides of said first concave portion being laid across said first concave portion; wherein, at said second electrode part of said second plate-like lead, the other said external terminals of said passive component are coupled to said second electrode parts on both sides of said second concave portion being laid across said second concave portion; wherein the external terminals of said passive component are coupled, at four corners, to either said first electrode part of said first plate-like lead or said second electrode part of said second plate-like lead using said jointing materials; and wherein a region between the external terminals at both the sides of said passive component is surrounded by part of said sealing member.
