Abstract

Abstract A semiconductor device has a lead frame. The lead frame has a mount portion and a lead portion. A semiconductor chip is mounted on one major surface of the mount portion of the lead frame. The semiconductor chip is connected by an electrical connecting means to the lead portion of the lead frame. An electrical insulating layer is formed on the other major surface of the mount portion of the lead frame. The mount portion, part of the lead portion of the lead frame, the semiconductor chip and the electrically connecting means, excluding the surface of the electrical insulating layer of the mount portion of the lead frame, are sealed or encapsulated by an electrical insulating member.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 174 words
A semiconductor device comprising: a lead frame having a mount portion and a lead portion connected to said mount portion, said mount portion having a mount surface and a heat dissipation surface, said mount surface positioned substantially adjacent said heat dissipation surface, said mount surface and said heat dissipation surface facing substantially opposite directions along said lead frame; a semiconductor chip mounted on said mount surface; wiring means extending between said semiconductor chip and said lead portion for electrically connecting said semiconductor chip to said lead portion; a resinous electrical insulation layer affixed to said heat dissipation surface for dissipating most of the heat generated by said semiconductor chip; and resin means encapsulating said mount surface, said semiconductor chip, and said lead portion proximate said mount portion for sealing and for insulating the encapsulated portions of the semiconductor device wherein said resin means is formed to abut said insulation layer, and wherein said resin means and said insulation layer define a package encapsulating said mount portion and said lead portion proximate said mount portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 174 words
A semiconductor device comprising: a lead frame having a mount portion and a lead portion connected to said mount portion, said mount portion having a mount surface and a heat dissipation surface, said mount surface positioned substantially adjacent said heat dissipation surface, said mount surface and said heat dissipation surface facing substantially opposite directions along said lead frame; a semiconductor chip mounted on said mount surface; wiring means extending between said semiconductor chip and said lead portion for electrically connecting said semiconductor chip to said lead portion; a resinous electrical insulation layer affixed to said heat dissipation surface for dissipating most of the heat generated by said semiconductor chip; and resin means encapsulating said mount surface, said semiconductor chip, and said lead portion proximate said mount portion for sealing and for insulating the encapsulated portions of the semiconductor device wherein said resin means is formed to abut said insulation layer, and wherein said resin means and said insulation layer define a package encapsulating said mount portion and said lead portion proximate said mount portion.
