Claims
- 1. A semiconductor device comprising:a semiconductor chip having a main surface and a rear surface which is opposite to said main surface, said semiconductor chip including an integrated circuit and external terminals formed at said main surface; leads each having a portion disposed over said main surface of said semiconductor chip; bonding wires electrically connecting said external terminals of said semiconductor chip with said leads; and a resin member sealing at least said main surface of said semiconductor chip, said bonding wires, and parts of said leads, wherein said portion of each of said leads has a first part, and a second part which is continuous with said first part and is located further from said main surface of said semiconductor chip than said first part, in a thickness direction of said semiconductor chip, wherein a part of said resin member is in a space between the second parts of said portions of said leads and said main surface of said semiconductor chip, and wherein said rear surface of said semiconductor chip is exposed from said resin member.
- 2. A semiconductor device according to claim 1, wherein the first parts of said leads are adhered to said main surface of said semiconductor chip by adhesive.
- 3. A semiconductor device according to claim 2, wherein said adhesive includes a base insulating film and adhesive layers on both sides of said base insulating film.
- 4. A semiconductor device according to claim 1, wherein one end of said bonding wires is connected to said first parts of said leads.
- 5. A semiconductor device according to claim 1, wherein said portion of each of said leads further includes a stepped portion between said first and second parts of each of said leads.
- 6. A semiconductor device according to claim 1, wherein each of said leads has a part which is exposed outwardly from said resin member.
- 7. A semiconductor device comprising:a semiconductor chip having a main surface and a rear surface which is opposite to said main surface, said semiconductor chip including an integrated circuit and external terminals formed at said main surface, said external terminals being arranged in a direction substantially parallel to a pair of edges of said main surface and being arranged in a substantially central position between said pair of edges; a first lead having a portion which is disposed over said main surface of the semiconductor chip and is arranged between said external terminals and one of said pair of edges; a second lead having a portion which is disposed over said main surface of the semiconductor chip and is arranged between said external terminals and the other of said pair of edges; bonding wires electronically connecting said external terminals of said semiconductor chip with said portions of said first and second leads respectively; and a resin member sealing at least said main surface of said semiconductor chip, said bonding wires, and a part of each of said first and second leads, wherein each of said portions of said first and second leads has a first part, and a second part which is continuous with said first part and is located further from said main surface of said semiconductor chip than said first part, in a thickness direction of said semiconductor chip, wherein a part of said resin member is in a space between said second parts of said first and second leads and said main surface of said semiconductor chip, and wherein said rear surface of said semiconductor chip is exposed from said resin member.
- 8. A semiconductor device according to claim 7, wherein the first parts of said first and second leads are adhered to said main surface of said semiconductor chips by adhesive.
- 9. A semiconductor device according to claim 8, wherein said adhesive includes a base insulating film and adhesive layers on both sides of said base insulating film.
- 10. A semiconductor device according to claim 7, wherein one end of said bonding wires is connected to said first parts of said first and second leads.
- 11. A semiconductor device according to claim 7, wherein the portion of each of said first and second leads further includes a stepped part between said first and second parts of each of said first and second leads.
- 12. A semiconductor device according to claim 7, wherein each of said first and second leads has a part which is exposed outwardly from said resin member.
- 13. A semiconductor device according to claim 7, wherein said main surface of the semiconductor chip has a rectangular shape, with a pair of longer edges and a pair of shorter edges, and wherein the external terminals are arranged substantially parallel to the pair of longer edges and in a substantially central position between said pair of longer edges.
- 14. A semiconductor device according to claim 13, wherein the first lead is arranged between the external terminals and one of said pair of longer edges, and the second lead is arranged between the external terminals and the other of said pair of longer edges.
