Abstract

A resin-encapsulated semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor element mounted on a die pad portion; a plurality of lead portions disposed so that distal end parts thereof are opposed to the die pad portion; a metal thin wire for connecting an electrode of the semiconductor element to the lead portion; and an encapsulating resin for partially encapsulating those components. A bottom surface part of the die pad portion, and a bottom surface part, an outer surface part, and an upper end part of the lead portion are exposed from the encapsulating resin. A plated layer is formed on the exposed lead bottom surface part and the exposed lead upper end part.

Claims (15)

1. A resin-encapsulated semiconductor device, comprising:

a die pad portion;

a semiconductor element mounted on the die pad portion;

a plurality of lead portions disposed opposite to the die pad portion;

a metal thin wire for connecting a plurality of electrodes of the semiconductor element to the plurality of lead portions; and

an encapsulating resin for encapsulating the die pad portion, the semiconductor element, and the plurality of lead portions so that the plurality of lead portions are partially exposed,

the plurality of lead portions each including a lead bottom surface part as a bottom surface, a lead outer surface part as a distal end, and a lead upper end part as a part of an upper surface, all of which are exposed from the encapsulating resin,

the lead bottom surface part being flush with a bottom surface of the encapsulating resin,

the lead bottom surface part and the lead upper end part each including a plated layer,

the encapsulating resin being present above the lead upper end part in a vertical direction via a gap portion provided under the encapsulating resin.

2. A resin-encapsulated semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the lead upper end part including the plated layer is formed to have an arc shape in cross section.

3. A resin-encapsulated semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the plated layer of the lead bottom surface part and the plated layer of the lead upper end part are formed of one of a single metal layer and an alloy layer of at least two metal layers selected from the group consisting of lead, bismuth, tin, copper, silver, palladium, and gold.

4. A resin-encapsulated semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lead portions are formed to be thinner as being closer to the lead outer surface part under the encapsulating resin.

5. A resin-encapsulated semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the die pad portion has a bottom surface part which is exposed from the encapsulating resin.

6. A resin-encapsulated semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the lead outer surface part protrudes outward from a side surface of the encapsulating resin.
