A single semiconductor chip containing a control portion and a power portion including a power element associated with the control portion and a concave portion formed between the control portion and the power portion is mounted on a die pad so as to separate the control portion and the power portion. The die pad has a convex portion which is received in the concave portion and the semiconductor chip is divided to separate the control portion and the power portion by applying pressure to the chip or by applying laser beams, and the separated semiconductor chip portions are simultaneously bonded to the die pad.

Semiconductor integrated circuit device and lead frame therefor

A protection circuit for a pnp-type output transistor includes a pnp-type monitor transistor through which a current 1/n (where n&gt;1) times as high as the output current of the output transistor passes. A first, second, and third resistor are connected between the output electrode of the output transistor and ground. An output terminal is connected to the collector of the output transistor. A fourth and fifth resistor are connected serially between the output current of the monitor transistor and ground. When the voltage at the node between the fourth and fifth resistors exceeds a predetermined level, the conduction biases for the output and monitor transistors are reduced. When the voltage at the node between the first and second resistors drops below the voltage at the output side of the monitor transistor, the conduction biases are further reduced in accordance with the voltage difference.

Method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device

In a structure for attaching a heat sink to a semiconductor device in which a frame is encapsulated in a resin mold, a pin is formed integrally with the semiconductor device, and a hole engageable with the pin is formed integrally with the heat sink.
