Semiconductor integrated-circuit apparatus with internal and external bonding pads

Claim 1

An integrated circuit device including external terminal leads, comprising: a substrate; integrated circuits formed on said substrate; a first power supply line layer formed on said substrate; a second power supply line layer formed on said substrate; a plurality of first internal pads formed on said substrate and connected to said first power supply line layer; a plurality of second internal pads formed on said substrate and connected to said second power supply line layer; a package on which said substrate is mounted; conductors; a plurality of first external pads formed on a first peripheral area of said package, said first external pads connected to said first internal pads through said conductors; a second external pad formed on a second peripheral area of said package, said second external pad being connected to one of said second internal pads through one of said conductors and connected to one of the external terminal leads; a third external pad formed on a third peripheral area of said package, said third external pad being connected to one of said second internal pads, not connected to said second external pad, through one of said conductors; and an electroconductive layer formed at substantially entire interface between said substrate and a surface of said package, said electroconductive layer extending to and contacting said second and third external pads.
