Patent ID: 7906854

Claim:
A semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor chip;. a supporting body which is disposed below the semiconductor chip and supports the semiconductor chip; a spacer that is fixed onto the semiconductor chip; and a connected portion that is located below the semiconductor chip and electrically connected to the semiconductor chip with a wire, wherein: at least a part of a peripheral portion of the semiconductor chip comprises an overhang portion that projects more laterally than a peripheral portion of the supporting body; the spacer has a covering portion that covers a part of an upper surface of the overhang portion of the semiconductor chip; the wire is connected to a region of the upper surface of the overhanging portion, the region being lateral to an outermost periphery of the covering portion of the spacer and not being covered with the covering portion of the spacer; and a height of an apex of the wire from the upper surface of the semiconductor chip as a reference, is greater than a height, from the reference, of at least a portion in the outermost periphery of the covering portion of the spacer, the portion having the wire arranged at its lateral side.
