Abstract

In a semiconductor device, an island penetrating hole, which is larger than a mounted chip, is formed on an island of a lead frame, and a heatsink is mounted on the island so as to cover the island penetrating hole. The chip is disposed on a surface of the heatsink in the island penetrating hole. The ground terminal of the chip and the island are wire-bonded to each other via GND wires. This arrangement makes it possible to reduce a heat resistance in a heat-releasing path, thereby improving a heat-releasing property. Further, the GND wires are shortened and a GND inductance is reduced. Consequently, it is possible to efficiently exert capability of the chip.
