Abstract
Abstract A resin-sealed type semiconductor device is provided which has a lead array with a plurality of leads arranged at a predetermined interval. A first die pad is provided substantially flush with the lead array. A semiconductor chip is mounted on the first pad and electrically connected to the lead array. A second die pad is arranged in a separate, side-by-side relation to the first die pad. The portion of the lead array, first die pad with the semiconductor chip mounted thereon and second die pad are covered with a resin molding body as an integral unit.
