Abstract

Abstract A semiconductor device includes a package accommodating a semiconductor chip, and a plurality of connecting leads. One end portion of each connecting lead being attached to the semiconductor chip by an adhesive member and the other end portion thereof being external to the package and connected to a circuit substrate. The semiconductor device further includes at least one heat-emitting lead whose one end portion is attached to the semiconductor chip by the adhesive member and whose other end portion is external to the package and is separated from the circuit substrate. The semiconductor device also includes a heat-emitting body inserted into the adhesive member and having one portion thereof connected to the heat-emitting lead.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 136 words
A semiconductor device, comprising: a package; a semiconductor chip contained within the package; an adhesive member attached to the semiconductor chip; a plurality of connecting leads, one end portion of each connecting lead being attached to said semiconductor chip by said adhesive member which is located between said connecting lead end portions and said semiconducting chip, and the end portion thereof being external to said package and adapted for connection to a circuit substrate; at least one heat-conducting lead having one end portion being attached to said semiconductor chip by said adhesive member which is located between said at least one heat-conducting lead end portion and said semiconductor chip, and another end portion being external to said package and separated from said circuit substrate; and a heat-conducting body at least partially embedded in said adhesive member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 136 words
A semiconductor device, comprising: a package; a semiconductor chip contained within the package; an adhesive member attached to the semiconductor chip; a plurality of connecting leads, one end portion of each connecting lead being attached to said semiconductor chip by said adhesive member which is located between said connecting lead end portions and said semiconducting chip, and the end portion thereof being external to said package and adapted for connection to a circuit substrate; at least one heat-conducting lead having one end portion being attached to said semiconductor chip by said adhesive member which is located between said at least one heat-conducting lead end portion and said semiconductor chip, and another end portion being external to said package and separated from said circuit substrate; and a heat-conducting body at least partially embedded in said adhesive member.
