Abstract
A resin encapsulating molding die for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes a cavity piece having a cavity on which a lead frame with a mounted semiconductor element may be placed, with the semiconductor element in the cavity, and a gate piece having a gate portion including a sub-runner through which a molten resin for encapsulating the semiconductor element is introduced into the cavity, the gate piece being detachable from the cavity piece. The molding die also includes a sealing dam disposed adjacent the sub-runner for blocking flow of molten resin from the sub-runner toward leads of the lead frame. The sealing dam may be a clamp structure for clamping the leads closest to the gate portion, the sealing dam and cavity piece may be a continuous unitary structure, and the sealing dam may have a parting surface substantially coplanar with a parting surface of the cavity piece.
