Abstract

The related arts have difficulty in efficiently dissipating the heat generated by a resin-molded semiconductor element, and thus have the problem of thermal stress causing damage to the semiconductor element. To solve the problem, a semiconductor device of the preferred embodiments includes common leads coupled to an island, and a part of the common leads projects out from a resin seal body. The projecting common leads have a coupling portion. When mounting the semiconductor device, the common leads are bridged with brazing material. Thus, the heat generated by an integrated circuit chip mounted on the island is dissipated through the common leads to the outside of the resin seal body. In the preferred embodiments of the invention, a further improvement in heat dissipation characteristics can be accomplished by increasing the surface areas of the common leads.

Claims (22)

1. A semiconductor device including:

an island on which a semiconductor element is mounted;
