Abstract

A bottom lead frame and a bottom lead semiconductor package embodying the invention are capable of forming a multiple row pin structure. The bottom lead frame includes a plurality of first leads, and a plurality of second leads, where each lead has a bottom lead portion and an inner lead portion that is upwardly bent from the bottom lead portion. The first leads and second are arranged on opposite sides of a central portion. Each of the first leads is inserted between a pair of neighboring second leads. The bottom portions of the second leads are arranged outwardly of the bottom portions of the first leads. A lead support bar may be connected to the inner portions of the first and second leads to support the first and second leads. A semiconductor chip may be mounted on upper surfaces of either the first or the second leads.
