Abstract

Abstract A semiconductor device having improved construction of connection leads extending from the chip carrier housing for connecting a semiconductor chip in the housing with the external circuitry. The connection leads are arranged in the form of a plurality of concentric arrays. The leads in the outermost array are composed of surface connection leads to be electrically connected to the uppermost layer of a multilayer printed board to which the semiconductor device will be mounted, and the leads in the inner array or arrays are composed of lead pins to be inserted into and be electrically connected to the through holes of the multilayer printed board.
