Abstract

At least a part of the inner leads 1a of a lead frame 1 is covered with a plating for a metallic fine wire connection, at least the entire portion where the lead frame 1 joins with the adhesive layer 2 is covered by at least one metal or alloy thereof different from the metallic fine wire connecting use plating. The metal or alloy is selected from the group consisting of gold, platinum, iridium, rhodium, palladium, ruthenium, indium, tin, molybdenum, tungsten, gallium, zinc, chromium, niobium, tantalum, titanium and zirconium. Thereby, generation of defects, such as leakage and shorting, due to ion migration can be prevented.
