Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a substrate having electrodes, a semiconductor element mounted on the substrate and having electrode pads, wires for respectively connecting the electrodes of the substrate and the electrode pads of the semiconductor element, and an encapsulating resin for sealing the semiconductor element and the wires. Markings are provided on the semiconductor device so as to avoid areas of the surface of the encapsulating resin which correspond to the semiconductor element and the tops of the wires. Thus, when the markings are placed upon the surface of the encapsulating resin, a reduction in the strength of the encapsulating resin due to the markings can be avoided.
