Abstract

A circuit device 10 comprises a die pad 11 , bonding pads 12 , a circuit element 9 , affixed onto die pad 11 , and an insulating resin 14 , which seals die pad 11 , bonding pads 12 , and circuit element 9 , and has a configuration wherein recessed parts 15 are formed at parts of the side surfaces of insulating resin 14 , and side surface of the conductive patterns that are disposed at peripheral parts are exposed from recessed parts 15 . By bonding pads 12 , which are to become connecting electrodes to the exterior, being exposed at the side surfaces, fillets of a brazing material 19 are formed at the sides of the device when circuit device 10 is mounted.

Claims (16)

1. A circuit device comprising:

a conductive pattern; a circuit element, affixed onto the conductive pattern; and an insulating resin, sealing the conductive pattern and the circuit element while exposing at least a bottom surface of the conductive pattern;

wherein recessed areas are formed individually and are in side surfaces of the insulating resin such that outwardly facing outer peripheral parts of the conductive pattern are exposed from within the recessed areas, and

wherein the top surface of the circuit device consists of insulating resin.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the circuit device is mounted by attaching brazing material to the exposed side surface and bottom surface of the conductive pattern.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the circuit element is semiconductor element and the conductive pattern that is disposed at the peripheral part and the semiconductor element is connected electrically.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive pattern comprise die pad and bonding pad and circuit element is mounted on the die pad and the bonding pad is disposed so as to surround the die pad.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein a plating layer is formed on the rear surface and side surface of the conductive patterns that is exposed from the insulating resin.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein a covering resin is formed on the surface of the conductive pattern and the circuit element and the conductive pattern are electrically connected via opening provided in the covering resin.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the covering resin comprises a photosensitive resin.

8. The circuit device of claim 1 , wherein the circuit device is of a substantially hexahedron shape.

9. The circuit device of claim 1 , wherein the outwardly facing outer peripheral parts of the conductive pattern are not aligned with a side surface of the insulating resin.

10. A circuit device comprising:

a conductive pattern; a circuit element, affixed onto the conductive pattern; and an insulating resin, sealing the conductive pattern and the circuit element while exposing at least a bottom surface of the conductive pattern;

wherein recessed areas are in side surfaces of the insulating resin such that outwardly facing outer peripheral parts of the conductive pattern are exposed from within the recessed areas and are not aligned with a side surface of the insulating resin, and

wherein the top surface of the circuit device consists of insulating resin.
