A lead frame is provided which can prevent a short circuit between wires and the ends of adjacent leads, the short circuit being caused by wire sweep during the injection of molding resin, in a configuration where the electrodes of a semiconductor chip and the leads disposed around the semiconductor chip. The lead having sides substantially perpendicular to the direction of a resin flow has an end whose upstream side relative to the resin flow is constricted.

The lead frame of the present invention is a lead frame used in resin encapsulation of a semiconductor chip using an encapsulation mold that includes a die cavity to be filled with an encapsulation resin, the lead frame including: a first region exposed to the die cavity; a second region that is surrounding the first region and to be clamped by the encapsulation mold; a third region exposed to an ambient air with the die cavity being filled with the encapsulation resin; and at least one groove formed on a surface of the lead frame that is opposite to another surface of the lead frame on which the first region is present, the at least one groove extending from an area corresponding to the first region across another area corresponding to the second region so as to reach the third region.

Lead frame and method for fabricating resin-encapsulated semiconductor device

In a lead frame, inside inner leads are supported by supporting leads through an insulator. The inside inner leads and outside inner leads are separated from one another and are doubly arranged. In manufacturing a semiconductor device by using this lead frame, a semiconductor chip is mounted on the insulator, and the semiconductor chip is connected with the inside inner leads and the outside inner leads through metal wires, and the resultant is sealed with a resin. Thus, projections provided on the bottoms of the inside inner leads and the outside inner leads can work as external terminals. Since the external terminals can be disposed two-dimensionally on the bottom the lead frame is applicable to high density packaging and multi-pin devices, and can additionally provide a so-called burr-less structure free from uncut waste of the resin.

In a space surrounded by outer frames formed in the shape of as rectangle is disposed a die pad in the shape of a square for mounting a semiconductor chip having electrodes. Each of the outer frames is connected with a plurality of outer leads respectively continuous with inner leads which are used for electrical connection and extended toward the die pad. Each inner lead is extended to the vicinity of a position where each electrode of the semiconductor chip is to be formed. The corners of the die pad are respectively provided with support members extending to positions away from a dam bar by a predetermined distance. The support members are connected with the inner leads via a square ring-shaped insulating member. Thus, the die pad is supported by the outer frames via the support members. Since there is no need to provide a die pad lead, the space at the corner conventionally occupied by the die pad lead can be utilized for wiring, and the leads can be easily led in.
