Semiconductor device
View Patent ↗In a non-leaded type semiconductor device, a tab, tab suspension leads, and other leads are exposed to one surface of a seal member. A semiconductor element is positioned within the seal member and fixed to a surface of the tab with an adhesive. The tab is formed larger than the semiconductor element so that outer peripheral edges of the tab are positioned outside outer peripheral edges of the semiconductor element. A groove is formed in the tab surface portion positioned between the area to which the semiconductor element is fixed and wire connection areas to which the wires are connected, the groove being formed so as to surround the semiconductor element fixing area, thereby preventing peeling-off between the tab to which the semiconductor element is fixed and the resin which constitutes the package.
1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a semiconductor chip having an obverse surface, a reverse surface opposite the obverse surface, and a plurality of electrodes formed on the obverse surface thereof;
a frame member having a first portion for mounting the semiconductor chip, a second portion formed to surround the first portion, a plurality of suspension leads each connected to the second portion,
a plurality of leads disposed around the semiconductor chip and outside of the second portion, the first portion having a first area which is capable of mounting the semiconductor chip in a plan view, the second portion having a second area which is capable of providing a wire connection;
a plurality of first wires connecting selected first ones of the plurality of electrodes of the semiconductor chip with the plurality of leads of the frame member; and
a sealing body sealing the semiconductor chip, the plurality of first wires, a part of each of the plurality of leads, and a part of each of the first and second portions of the frame member,
wherein the semiconductor chip is mounted over the first area of the first portion of the frame member,
wherein the frame member has a slit which is formed between the first and second portions,
wherein the slit has a first slit which extends along an outer peripheral edge of the first portion, and a second slit which extends from the first slit toward the second portion.
2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the plurality of first wires extend over the second portion of the frame member.
3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 3 ,
wherein, in the plan view, an area in which the semiconductor chip does not overlap with the first area of the first portion of the frame member is sealed by the sealing body.
5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a surface, opposite a surface over which the semiconductor chip is mounted of the first portion of the frame member, has a portion exposed from the sealing body.
6. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a surface, opposite a surface which includes the second area of the second portion of the frame member, is sealed by the sealing body.
7. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,
wherein an inside of the slit is filled with a part of the sealing body.
8. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of second wires connecting selected second ones of the plurality of electrodes of the semiconductor chip with the second area of the second portion of the frame member.
9. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in the plan view, the second slit is substantially perpendicular to the first slit.
10. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of slits are formed between the first and second portions of the frame member.
11. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the semiconductor chip is mounted over the first area of the first portion of the frame member via an adhesive material.
