Abstract
A section of predetermined geometry and area is provided on or in a die pad of a lead frame and taken as a mark to be used for checking the position of a semiconductor chip. If the semiconductor chip is placed outside an allowable range in the X direction, the semiconductor chip overlaps the mark, thereby changing the geometry of an observable portion (slanted portion) of the mark. By means of the change, a positional deviation of the semiconductor chip in the X direction can be ascertained. A positional deviation of the semiconductor chip in Y direction is determined, by observing whether or not an electrode is situated between extensions of sides of a certain portion of the section.
