Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a lead frame, a first semiconductor component, a second semiconductor component, and a first conductive member. The lead frame includes a first segment having a first bottom plate, and a second segment having a second bottom plate. The first segment and the second segment are arranged side by side, the first bottom plate is spatially isolated from the second bottom plate, and the first bottom plate is thicker than the second bottom plate. The first semiconductor component is disposed on the first bottom plate, and the second semiconductor component is disposed on the second bottom plate. The second semiconductor component is thicker than the first semiconductor component. The first conductive member electrically connects the second semiconductor component to the first segment.
