Patent ID: 6849931

Claim:
A lead frame for semiconductor electronic parts comprising an island adapted to land a semiconductor chip thereon and a plurality of leads provided around the peripheral edge of the island and adapted to be connected to respective electrode pads of the semiconductor chip landed on the island via conducting means, the lead frame having a body part formed with a molding resin by landing the semiconductor chip on the island, connecting the leads to the respective electrode pads of the semiconductor chip via the conducting means and sealing the semiconductor chip with the molding resin and a junction part to a mounted board formed by exposing the lower faces of the leads to the lower face of the body part, wherein each of the leads is provided with a recessed molding resin engaging cavity on each opposing side face thereof such that the leads have an approximately laid H-shape cross section and each of the leads has the lower face extending toward the semiconductor chip such that the lower face of the lead is longer than an upper face.
