Conventional surface roughening plating technology cannot always improve the adhesion between a leadframe and a plating film and it depends on the material used for surface roughening plating. Conventional surface roughening technology by etching can only be used for leadframes made of limited materials. Improved adhesion cannot therefore be achieved between a metal member such as leadframe and a sealing resin. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to one embodiment is to carry out resin sealing using a metal member such as leadframe which has been subjected to alloying treatment of a base material and Zn plated on the surface thereof.

A semiconductor device in the form of a resin sealed semiconductor package is disclosed, wherein a gate terminal connected to a gate pad electrode formed on a surface of a semiconductor chip and a source terminal connected to a source pad electrode formed on the chip surface exposed to a back surface of a sealing resin portion, a first portion of a drain terminal connected to a back-surface drain electrode of the semiconductor chip is exposed to an upper surface of the sealing resin portion, and a second portion of the drain terminal formed integrally with the first portion of the drain terminal is exposed to the back surface of the sealing resin portion. When forming the sealing resin portion in such a semiconductor device, first the sealing resin portion is formed so as to also cover an upper surface of the first portion of the drain terminal and thereafter the upper surface side of the sealing resin portion is polished by liquid honing, thereby allowing the upper surface of the first portion of the drain terminal to be exposed on the upper surface of the sealing resin portion. Both heat dissipating property and production yield of the semiconductor device are improved.
