Abstract

Disclosed herewith is a semiconductor device, which includes a semiconductor chip; a lead device that includes an island for mounting the semiconductor chip and having an area smaller than that of the semiconductor chip at its contact surface, as well as plural hanging leads for supporting the island and coming in contact partially with the semiconductor chip; a mounting material provided on a contact surface between each of the island and hanging leads and the semiconductor chip so as to adhere the semiconductor chip to the island and the hanging leads; and sealing resin for sealing the semiconductor chip. The modulus of elasticity of the mounting material is lower than that of the sealing resin. The mounting material is further coated on the back surfaces of the contact surfaces of the island and the hanging leads.

Claims (19)

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a semiconductor chip;

a lead device that includes an island for mounting the semiconductor chip and having an area smaller than the semiconductor chip at its contact surface, as well as a plurality of hanging leads for supporting the island and coming in contact partially with the semiconductor chip;

a mounting material provided on the contact surface between each of the island and hanging leads and the semiconductor chip and used to adhere the semiconductor chip to the island and the hanging leads; and

sealing resin for sealing the semiconductor chip,

wherein the modulus of elasticity of the mounting material is lower than that of the sealing resin, and

wherein the mounting material is further coated on the back surfaces of the contact surfaces of the island and hanging leads.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the sealing resin further seals the back surfaces of the island and the hanging leads coated with the mounting material, respectively.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the mounting material that seals the back surfaces of the island and the hanging leads is thinner than that coated on the contact surfaces.

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the mounting material that seals the back surfaces of the island and hanging leads is less than 5 μm in thickness.

5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the mounting material is also coated on the side surfaces of the contact surfaces of the island and hanging leads.

6. The semiconductor device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the mounting material coated on the back surfaces of the island and hanging leads is thinner than that coated on their contact surfaces.

7. The semiconductor device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the mounting material coated on the side surfaces of the side surfaces of the island and hanging leads is less than 5 μm in thickness.
