Abstract

A lead frame and a semiconductor device wherein a through hole is formed in the center of a semiconductor chip-mounting surface of a chip pad at the center of the lead frame, the through hole being tapered or being one which corresponds to a surface area that is greater on the surface of the chip-mounting surface of the chip pad than on the surface of the side opposite to the chip-mounting surface thereof. This prevents the occurrence of cracks in the sealing plastic portion in the step of reflow soldering of the lead frame to the substrate.
