Abstract

Abstract According to the present invention, as improvement in the adhesion of inner leads with a packaging resin in a resin-sealed semiconductor device is attained by spreading leads on or near the circuit-forming face of a pellet, or on or near the main non-circuit-forming face of the pellet to extend the lengths of the inner leads on or under the pellet.
