Abstract

A leadframe for producing a semiconductor device having a lead-on chip (LOC) structure with leads extending across a semiconductor chip, the leadframe includes a frame for a die pad having an outer frame section, a die pad displaced from the outer frame section, and a suspending lead connecting the die pad to the outer frame section with the die pad disposed inside the outer frame section; and a frame for leads including an outer frame portion and leads extending from opposite sides of the outer frame portion, connected to the frame for a die pad, the die pad being connected to the frame for leads at the suspending lead, wherein one of the frame for a die pad and the frame for leads includes a projection and the other of the frame for a die pad and the frame for leads includes a hole, the hole receiving the projection, the projection being disposed parallel to the frame for leads, connecting the frame for a die pad to the frame for leads.
