Patent ID: 6888231

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor chip; a first external connection electrode connected to the chip; a second external connection electrode connected to the chip; and a resin package that covers the chip and has a mounting surface, the resin package also including a first side surface, a second side surface adjacent to the first side surface, a third side surface opposite to the second side surface, and a fourth side surface opposite to the first side surface; wherein each of the first and second electrodes includes a thick portion and a thin portion, the thick portion being exposed to outside only at the mounting surface of the package, the thick portion being not exposed at the first to fourth surfaces of the package; wherein the thin portion of the first electrode includes a first extension and a second extension, the first extension being spaced from the mounting surface of the package and exposed at the first side surface of the package, the second extension being spaced from the mounting surface and the first side surface of the package while extending toward the second electrode, the thin portion of the second electrode being spaced from the mounting surface of the package and exposed at the fourth side surface of the package; and wherein the first electrode includes two thick portions spaced from each other and a thin portion connecting the thick portions, both of the two thick portions being exposed to outside only at the mounting surface of the package.
