Abstract
Reduction of the size of and enhancement of the reliability, mounting strength, and mounting reliability of a semiconductor module are achieved. The semiconductor module includes: a wiring substrate; an electronic component placed over the upper surface of the wiring substrate; an electronic component placed over the under surface of the wiring substrate; a lead placed over the under surface of the wiring substrate; and encapsulation resin covering the under surface of the wiring substrate including the electronic component and the lead. The lead includes: a first portion coupled to an electrode pad via a joining material; a second portion bent from the first portion; and a third portion bent from the second portion. The third portion is positioned closer to the peripheral edge portion side of the under surface of the wiring substrate than the first portion. At the same time, the third portion is arranged at a position farther from the under surface of the wiring substrate than the first portion. The third portion of the lead is exposed from the main surface and side surface of the encapsulation resin and functions as a terminal for external coupling.
