Abstract
A semiconductor package is provided. In one embodiment, the semiconductor package includes a lead frame having a die pad and a plurality of leads disposed around the die pad. One or more semiconductor integrated circuit chips are mounted on the die pad and electrically connected to the plurality of leads. The semiconductor further includes a molding part for encapsulating the lead frame and the one or more chips. The molding part includes an upper molding portion having a first width, and a lower molding portion having a second width smaller than the first width to expose a portion of said leads from the lower molding portion. With the semiconductor package of the present invention, the mounting area and the mounting height on a substrate can be reduced. Also, the mounting reliability of a package on a substrate and electrical characteristics of the package can be improved.
