Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor device formed by a semiconductor chip bonded to a lead frame die pad. The bonding material, such as a silicone resin, has an elasticity modulus ranging from 1 Kg/cm2 to 100 Kg/cm2 from room temperature to 400 DEG C. The lead frame electrodes are connected to the semiconductor chip electrodes by copper alloy wires.
