Abstract
In a leadframe for supporting semiconductor devices and including a plurality of outer lead sections, a recess or recesses are provided on each of the outer lead sections at a central portion or both sides of each outer lead section in a region including a cutting line. The recess or recesses reduce the cross-sectional area of the lead section, thus enabling a new cut surface of the lead section to be well covered by solder and enabling ready cutting of the lead section.
