- bonding wires electrically connecting said portions of said inner leads with corresponding external terminals respectively; and
- a resin member sealing said semiconductor chip, said inner leads, said insulating layer and said bonding wires, said outer leads protruding outwardly from said resin member,
- wherein an area occupied by said insulating layer is smaller than that of said polyimide film,
- wherein said portions of said inner leads are adhered to said semiconductor chip via said insulating layer, and
- wherein said insulating layer is provided between only a part of each of said portions of said inner leads and said polyimide film, in the extending direction of said inner leads.
- 2. A semiconductor device according to claim 1, wherein said polyimide film has a thickness of 2.0 to 10.0 microns.
- 3. A semiconductor device according to claim 1, wherein said polyimide film acts as a shield against alpha-rays.
- 4. A semiconductor device according to claim 1, wherein said integrated circuit of said semiconductor chip includes a memory circuit.
- 5. A semiconductor device according to claim 1, wherein comprising another polyimide film, on a surface of said semiconductor chip opposed to said main surface.

- 7. A semiconductor device according to claim 1,
- wherein each of said portions of said inner leads has a first part, a second part and a stepped part between said first and second parts,
- wherein said second part is farther than said first part from said main surface in a thickness direction of said semiconductor chip, and is spaced from said polyimide film, and
- wherein said insulating layer is disposed between said polyimide film and said first part.
- 8. A semiconductor device comprising:
- a semiconductor chip having a main surface, an integrated circuit and external terminals formed on said main surface, and an alpha-ray shielding film covering said main surface, said alpha-ray shielding film having openings exposing said external terminals;
- an insulating layer on said alpha-ray shielding film;
- a plurality of leads each having an inner lead and an outer lead which is continuous with said inner lead, a portion of said inner lead being disposed over said main surface;
- bonding wires electrically connecting said portions of said inner leads with corresponding external terminals respectively; and
- a resin member sealing said semiconductor chip, said inner leads, said insulating layer and said bonding wires, said outer leads protruding outwardly from said resin member,
- wherein an area occupied by said insulating film is smaller than that of said alpha-ray shielding film,
- wherein said portions of said inner leads are adhered to said semiconductor chip via said insulating layer, and
- wherein said insulating layer is provided between only a part of each of said portions of said inner leads and said alpha-ray shielding film, in the extending direction of said inner leads.
- 9. A semiconductor device according to claim 8, wherein said alpha-ray shielding film has a thickness of 2.0 to 10.0 microns.
- 10. A semiconductor device according to claim 8, wherein said integrated circuit of said semiconductor chip includes a memory circuit.
- 11. A semiconductor device according to claim 8, further comprising a polyimide film, on a surface of said semiconductor chip opposed to said main surface.
- 12. A semiconductor device according to claim 8, wherein said insulating layer includes a thermosetting resin film.
- 13. A semiconductor device according to claim 7,
- wherein each of said portions of said inner leads has a first part, a second part and a stepped part between said first and second parts,
- wherein said second part is farther than said first part from said main surface in a thickness direction of said semiconductor chip, and is spaced from said alpha-ray shielding film, and
- wherein said insulating layer is disposed between said alpha-ray shielding film and said first part.
