Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor device includes a lead frame which has an island portion on which a semiconductor chip is mounted and which is coated with a sealing resin, inner lead portions which are connected to electrodes of the semiconductor chip and are coated with the sealing resin; and outer lead portions which are continuously extended from the inner lead portions and are not coated with the sealing resin. The island portion and inner lead portions are formed to be smaller in thickness than the outer lead portions by, for example, rolling a roller along a material for the lead frame.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A semiconductor device comprising a lead frame, wherein said lead frame comprises an island portion and inner lead portions coated with a sealing resin; and outer lead portions which are integral with and continuously extend from corresponding inner lead portions and are not coated with said sealing resin, wherein said island portion and inner lead portions and outer lead portions are unitary segments of the same sheet of material and the island portion and inner lead portions are smaller in thickness than said outer lead portions and have a surface which is coplanar with a surface of the outer lead portions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A semiconductor device comprising a lead frame, wherein said lead frame comprises an island portion and inner lead portions coated with a sealing resin; and outer lead portions which are integral with and continuously extend from corresponding inner lead portions and are not coated with said sealing resin, wherein said island portion and inner lead portions and outer lead portions are unitary segments of the same sheet of material and the island portion and inner lead portions are smaller in thickness than said outer lead portions and have a surface which is coplanar with a surface of the outer lead portions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
126 words
A semiconductor device comprising a lead frame, wherein said lead frame comprises an island portion on which a semiconductor chip is mounted and which is coated with a sealing resin, inner lead portions which are connected to electrodes of said semiconductor chip and are coated with said sealing resin; and outer lead portions which are integral with and continuously extend from corresponding inner lead portions and are not coated with said sealing resin, wherein said island portion and inner lead portions and outer lead portions are unitary segments of the same sheet of material and the island portion and inner lead portions are smaller in thickness than said outer lead portions and have a surface which is coplanar with a surface of the outer lead portions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
126 words
