Abstract
Abstract A method of producing a semiconductor device having a light transparent window, includes: a process of die bonding a chip onto a lead frame; a process of attaching a wall surrounding a picture element to either of the external contour surface of the surface of the chip or the light transparent window surrounding the picture element; a process of inserting the chip and the light transparent window into a metal mold in such a manner that an empty closed space is produced between the chip and the light transparent window via the wall; and a process of plastic molding the device except for the light transparent window by filling resin into the metal mold and making the resin hardened.
