Abstract

There is provided a semiconductor device that suppresses the occurrence of resin burrs and has favorable electrical connectivity and bond strength, and a manufacturing method for such semiconductor device. A resin-coated metal part is manufactured by forming an organic coating by depositing a material including functional organic molecules on a wiring lead composed of a metallic material. Each of the functional organic molecules includes a main chain, a first functional group having a metal bonding property, and a second functional group. The first functional group and the second functional group are provided at different ends of the main chain. Thereafter the functional organic molecules self-assemble by bonding of the first functional groups to metal atoms of the wiring lead. After performing the organic coating formation step, resin is adhered to a predetermined surface area of the wiring lead having the organic coating formed thereon.
