Abstract
A scale-like portion wherein metal plating is changed into a scale-like form is provided by continuously carrying out laser spot irradiation on a lead frame, the front surface of which is coated with the metal plating. The scale-like portion is disposed in an optional portion of the lead frame, for example, in the vicinity of a gate break mark, in an outer peripheral portion in a region sealed with a molding resin, or around a semiconductor element. The adhesion between the lead frame and the molding resin improves owing to the anchor effect of the scale-like portion, and it is thus possible to suppress the molding resin separating from the lead frame.
