Claims (29)

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;

a semiconductor element on the first surface of the substrate;

a mold resin encapsulating the first surface of the substrate and the semiconductor element, having a top surface opposite a surface contacting the first surface of the substrate,

a recess in the mold resin continuously forming edge portions of the top surface of the mold resin, wherein the recess also extends laterally continuously to the side surface of the mold resin; and

a side surface of the mold resin is in substantially the same plane as a side surface of the substrate in cross-sectional view.

2. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;

a semiconductor element mounted on the first surface of the substrate;

a mold resin encapsulating the first surface of the substrate and the semiconductor element, having a top surface opposite a surface contacting the first surface of the substrate, recesses in the mold resin intermittently forming edge portions of the top surface of the mold resin, wherein the intermittent recesses extend laterally to the side surface of the mold resin; and

a side surface of the mold resin is in substantially the same plane as a side surface of the substrate in cross-sectional view.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , having symbol-shaped depressions in the top surface of the mold resin.

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 2 , having symbol-shaped depressions in the top surface of the mold resin.

5. The semiconductor device according to claim 3 , wherein the symbol-shaped depressions and the recess are the same color.

6. The semiconductor device according to claim 4 , wherein the symbol-shaped depressions and the recess are the same color.

7. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is a white color.

8. The semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the recess is a white color.

9. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is along the entire edge portions of the top surface of the mold resin.

10. The semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the intermittent recesses are along the entire edge portions of the top surface of the mold resin.

11. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of electrodes on a top surface of the semiconductor element opposite a surface connected to the first surface of the substrate;

a plurality of internal terminals on the first surface of the substrate;

a plurality of bonding members connecting the electrodes of the semiconductor element and the internal terminals of the substrate; and

a plurality of external terminals on the second surface,

wherein the mold resin encapsulates the electrodes, the internal terminals and the bonding members.

12. The semiconductor device according to claim 11 , wherein

the internal electrodes on the first surface of the substrate and the plurality of external terminals on the second surface of the substrate are electrically connected via through-holes in the substrate.

13. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein a center of the mold resin overlaps the semiconductor element in cross-sectional view.
