A semiconductor chip is supported on a tape carrier provided with lead wirings. The semiconductor chip is electrically connected to the lead wirings. The semiconductor chip of this quality is bonded in combination with the pe carrier to an aluminum nitride substrate. The lead wirings provided on the carrier combine the two functions as an internal lead and an external lead. The semiconductor package of such a structure as is described above allows multi-terminal connection by the narrowing of pitches between the leads and permits provision of a miniature package excelling in the heat-radiating property. Alternatively, the lead wirings supported on the tape carrier and electrically connected to the semiconductor chip are utilized as internal leads. For the external leads, such lead frames as are bonded to the aluminum nitride substrate are used. The lead frames are electrically connected to the internal leads provided in the tape carrier.
