Patent ID: 7541672

Claim:
A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device comprising steps of: preparing a lead frame including a support board which is formed of a sheet of patterned metal plate having a portion thereof bent by one stage, constitutes a first electrode and fixes a semiconductor thereon, a first electrode lead which supports the support board at a distal end thereof, and a second electrode lead and a control electrode lead which extend in parallel to the first electrode lead; preparing a quadrangular semiconductor chip having a first electrode on a lower surface and a second electrode pad and a control electrode pad on an upper surface thereof; fixing the semiconductor chip to the support board at the first electrode portion via a conductive adhesive material; electrically connecting the second electrode pad of the semiconductor chip with the second electrode lead using connecting means and, at the same time, electrically connecting the control electrode pad of the semiconductor chip with the control electrode lead through connecting means; covering the semiconductor chip, the connecting means and portions of the second electrode lead and the control electrode lead with a sealing body by sealing them with insulating resin; and removing unnecessary portions of the lead frame by cutting and forming the leads into the insertion mounting structure or the surface mounting structure, wherein in the formation of the semiconductor chip, the second electrode pad and the control electrode pad are formed such that the second electrode pad is arranged close to the control electrode lead and the second electrode lead and the control electrode pad is arranged far from the control electrode lead and the second electrode lead, wherein in fixing the semiconductor chip to the support board, the semiconductor chip is fixed to the support board such that the second electrode pad is arranged close to the control electrode lead and the second electrode lead and the control electrode pad is arranged farther from the control electrode lead and the second electrode lead, wherein in the connection using the means, the second electrode pad and the second electrode lead are connected with each other using the connecting means and, thereafter, the control electrode pad and the control electrode lead are connected with each other using the connecting means, and wherein in the formation of the quadrangular semiconductor chip, when one side of the semiconductor chip is made to opposingly face lead posts formed to distal ends of the control electrode lead and the second electrode lead, the control electrode pad is formed on one corner portion of the semiconductor chip formed contiguously to a side of the semiconductor chip which is opposite to the opposingly facing side.
