Abstract
Abstract By employing the structure that in a two-layer lead frame comprising a lamination layer of lead portions and a metal layer, the thickness of an adhesive layer for fixing the a semiconductor element to the adhesive layer is defined to be from 100 to 350 μm and the semiconductor element is buried in the adhesive layer in a depth of at least 1/3o the thickness of the semiconductor element, the extent of the unevenness in the resin-sealed region is reduced and the occurrences of die shift and void are restrained.
