Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element, a die pad, an encapsulating member, and a plurality of leads. The die pad has a front surface on which the semiconductor element is mounted. The encapsulating member covers and seals the semiconductor element. The plurality of leads each have a first end connected to the semiconductor element in an inside of the encapsulating member and a second end led out from a side surface of the encapsulating member. A lower surface of a package including the semiconductor element, the die pad, and the encapsulating member is located on a back surface side of the die pad and has a convexly curved shape.
