A semiconductor device includes a first lead, a semiconductor element, a sealing resin, a first plating layer, and a second plating layer. The first lead has a first obverse surface and a first reverse surface facing opposite from each other in a thickness direction and a first recess recessed from the first reverse surface toward the first obverse surface. The semiconductor element is mounted on the first obverse surface. The sealing resin covers the semiconductor element. The first plating layer is formed in contact with the first obverse surface and the first reverse surface. The first recess is exposed from the sealing resin. The first plating layer includes a first portion covering the first reverse surface. The second plating layer is formed in contact with the first recess and the first portion.

Semiconductor device and method for manufacturing semiconductor device

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes preparing a lead frame, mounting a semiconductor element on an obverse face of the lead frame, forming a sealing resin covering the semiconductor element, forming a groove on a reverse face of the lead frame, and removing a portion of the lead frame and a portion of the sealing resin along a disposal region that is narrower than the groove and entirely overlaps with the groove. The preparing of the lead frame includes forming at least one recess located in the disposal region and having an end that is open in the thickness direction. The forming of the groove includes exposing the recess on a side of the reverse face of the lead frame. The removing is performed with reference to the recess.
