Abstract

A thin semiconductor device in which a strength of a lead frame and a heat dissipation efficiency can be improved. The semiconductor device has a semiconductor chip, a lead having an inner lead and an a outer lead continuing to the inner lead, said inner lead having a thin plate portion thinner than the other portion therof, said thin plate portion being electrically connected to said semiconductor chip through a wire and said outer lead serving as an outer connecting terminal, and a sealing resin sealing said semiconductor chip and at least a part of said lead, wherin said inner lead of said lead is positioned on said semiconductor chip.
