Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor element mounting member which is a mounting portion of a lead frame is provided with a concave portion having a smaller area than that of the lower surface of a semiconductor element, the area being less than 4×4 mm 2 . The concave portion is filled with a bonding material, and the semiconductor element and the semiconductor element mounting member are bonded by the bonding material.
