An optical semiconductor elementis mounted on a lead frame, the optical semiconductor elementis encapsulated with a mold resin portionof a first layer that has light permeability, and the mold resin portionof the first layer is encapsulated with a mold resin portionof a second layer that has light permeability. Then, a coefficient of linear expansion of the mold resin portionof the first layer is made smaller than a coefficient of linear expansion of the mold resin portionof the second layer.

Optical semiconductor device, method for fabricating the same, lead frame and electronic equipment

An optical semiconductor device has an optical semiconductor element () such as an LED or PD, and a light-permeable resin () encapsulating the optical semiconductor element. The light-permeable resin contains a base resin and filler. The light-permeable resin () has a characteristic that its transmittance increases with a temperature rise within an operating temperature range (e.g., &#x2212;40&#xb0; C.&#x2212;+85&#xb0; C.).

An object of the invention is to eliminate a marking process and shorten the time and decrease the cost required for changing contents of marking. An uneven mask is mounted, using a mask set jig, on a mark surface die of the molding die for forming a resin mold package of a semiconductor device. The mark surface die is formed with jig-fixing grooves for mounting the mask set jig. The uneven mask is formed with protrusions and recesses corresponding to the contents of marking to be attached to the surface of the resin mold package. The contents of marking can thus be attached simultaneously with the molding process, and therefore the marking process after molding can be omitted. In accordance with the contents of marking, the uneven mask can be replaced. The time and cost required for changing the contents of marking can thus be reduced.

Molding die and marking method for semiconductor devices

A photocoupler device includes a light-emitting chip, a light-receiving chip, a light-emitting side lead frame for individually holding the light emitting chip and a light-receiving side lead frame for individually holding the light-receiving chip. The light-emitting and light-receiving chips are opposed to each other so as to be optically coupled and covered with a light-transmissive resin as a first molding layer, in the whole part except in the outside connecting terminal portions of the two lead frames. The first molding layer is further covered with an opaque resin as a second molding layer. In such a photocoupler device, the light-transmissive resin is made to contain fillers in an amount of 80% by weight or more and directly cover the light-emitting chip, without needing silicone-resin coating for protecting the light-emitting chip.
