Patent ID: 7196409

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor body having a substrate and a semiconductor region, the semiconductor body accommodates a plurality of semiconductor elements in the form of an integrated circuit, and a surface of the semiconductor body is provided with a number of electric connections for the integrated circuit, including at least two for a supply connection, a side of the semiconductor body situated opposite the surface being provided with a number of further electric connection regions which are connected to an electric connection region on the surface of the semiconductor body with an electric connection, the electric connection situated on, and electrically insulated from, a side face of the semiconductor body that makes an angle with the surface, and the semiconductor body being attached to a lead frame and further electric connections being formed between connection conductors forming part of the lead frame and electric connection regions, characterized in that the electric connection comprises a plurality of regularly spaced, parallel strip-shaped conductors, and the electric connection regions for the supply connection are each connected by two or more of said strip-shaped conductors to a further electric connection region, the further electric connection region directly connected to a connection conductor forming part of the lead frame, while the other electric connection regions are directly connected, by the further electric connections, to connection conductors forming part of the lead frame.
