Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor device which is small in size and in which the deformation of leads is prevented at the time of wire-bonding. The semiconductor device includes: an island; a semiconductor element mounted on the bottom surface of the island; leads provided close to the island; and a sealing resin for integrally sealing these constituents. Moreover, in the semiconductor device according to the present invention, electrodes on the semiconductor element are bonded to the leads provided adjacent to a side of the island, the side not provided with leads which extends continuously from the island.

Claims (30)

1. A semiconductor device:

which includes a plurality of semiconductor elements disposed by stacking, and leads electrically bonded to the respective semiconductor elements and each having a part exposed to an outside of a sealing resin; and

in which each of the leads includes an exposure portion exposed to the outside, a bonding portion electrically bonded to the semiconductor elements and positioned on a plane different from where the exposure portion is positioned, and a continuous portion making the bonding portion and the exposure portion continuous,

the semiconductor device comprising:

a first island including a first main surface and a second main surface;

a first semiconductor element mounted on the first main surface of the first island; and

a first lead extending continuously from the first island to be exposed to the outside;

a second island including a first main surface and a second main surface which are different from those of the first island;

a second semiconductor element mounted on the first main surface of the second island; and

a second lead extending continuously from the second island to be exposed to the outside; and

a third lead disposed close to a side of the first or the second semiconductor element, the side being different from a side from which the first and second leads are drawn, and bonded to any one of the first and second semiconductor elements via a bonding member.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding member is a thin metal wire.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , comprising two of the third leads, wherein

any one of the first semiconductor element and the second semiconductor element is a transistor including a first main electrode on one of the main surfaces used for mounting the semiconductor element while including a second main electrode and a control electrode on the other main surface,

the bonding portion of the third lead bonded to the second main electrode is formed longer than the bonding portion of the other third lead bonded to the control electrode, and

the number of the bonding member which bond the third lead to the second main electrode is larger than that of the bonding member which bond the third lead to the control electrode.

4. A semiconductor device:

which includes a plurality of semiconductor elements disposed by stacking, and leads electrically bonded to the respective semiconductor elements, and each having a part exposed to an outside of a sealing resin; and

in which each of the leads includes an exposure portion exposed to the outside, a bonding portion electrically bonded to the semiconductor elements and positioned on a plane different from where the exposure portion is positioned, and a continuous portion making the bonding portion and the exposure portion continuous,

the semiconductor device comprising:

a first island including a first main surface and a second main surface;

a first semiconductor element mounted on the first main surface of the first island;

a first lead extending continuously from the first island to be exposed to the outside;

a second island including a first main surface and a second main surface which are different from those of the first island;

a second semiconductor element mounted on the first main surface of the second island;

a second lead extending continuously from the second island to be exposed to the outside;

a third lead bonded to an electrode on the first semiconductor element via a bonding member, and having a bonding portion on the same plane as the first island; and

a fourth lead bonded to an electrode on the second semiconductor element via a bonding member, and having a bonding portion on the same plane as the second island, wherein

the bonding member for bonding the third lead to the first semiconductor element is drawn sideward from a side of the first semiconductor element, the side being different from a side from which the first lead is drawn, and

the bonding member for bonding the fourth lead to the second semiconductor element is drawn sideward from a side of the second semiconductor element, the side being different from a side from which the second lead is drawn.
