Abstract
Abstract A lead frame to be used for a semiconductor device, comprising: a heat sink having a peripheral area and a central projected land on which a semiconductor chip is to be mounted. The heat sink has a relatively good heat radiating characteristic. A plurality of inner leads are provided, each having an inner end superimposed on the peripheral area of the heat sink by an insulating material. A semiconductor chip has a chip surface on which a junction pattern is arranged, and is mounted on the projected land of the heat sink by an insulating adhesive so that the chip surface faces the projected land. TAB leads are provided for electrically connecting the semiconductor chip to the inner leads, and a sealing resin hermetically seals at least the semiconductor chip.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A semiconductor device comprising: a lead frame comprising, a first heat sink having a peripheral area and a central projected land, said first heat sink having a relatively good heat radiating characteristic, and a plurality of inner leads, each having an inner end superimposed on said peripheral area of the first heat sink by an electrically insulating material; a semiconductor chip having a chip surface on which a junction pattern is arranged, said semiconductor chip mounted on said central projected land of the first heat sink by an electrically insulating adhesive so that said chip surface faces said projected land; TAB leads for electrically connecting said junction pattern of said semiconductor chip to said inner leads; and a sealing resin hermetically sealing semiconductor chip, said first heat sink, said TAB leads and said inner leads.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A semiconductor device comprising: a lead frame comprising, a first heat sink having a peripheral area and a central projected land, said first heat sink having a relatively good heat radiating characteristic, and a plurality of inner leads, each having an inner end superimposed on said peripheral area of the first heat sink by an electrically insulating material; a semiconductor chip having a chip surface on which a junction pattern is arranged, said semiconductor chip mounted on said central projected land of the first heat sink by an electrically insulating adhesive so that said chip surface faces said projected land; TAB leads for electrically connecting said junction pattern of said semiconductor chip to said inner leads; and a sealing resin hermetically sealing semiconductor chip, said first heat sink, said TAB leads and said inner leads.
