Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element, a conductor, and a sealing resin. The conductor includes a die pad, a first terminal, and a second terminal. The sealing resin covers a portion of the conductor and the semiconductor element. The sealing resin includes first, second, third and fourth resin surfaces. The die pad includes a first-lead obverse surface with the semiconductor element mounted, and a first-lead reverse surface exposed from the second resin surface. The first terminal is bent in a first sense of z direction and exposed from the third resin surface. The second terminal is bent in the first sense of z direction and exposed from the fourth resin surface. The first resin surface includes a recessed region recessed in z direction toward the second resin surface. As viewed in z direction, the recessed region overlaps with an imaginary line connecting the first terminal and the second terminal.

Abstract:
In semiconductor integrated circuit devices for vehicle use or the like, in general, an aluminum pad on a semiconductor chip and an external device are coupled to each other by wire bonding or the like using a gold wire and the like for the convenience of mounting. Such a semiconductor integrated circuit device, however, causes a connection failure due to the interaction between aluminum and gold in use for a long time at a relatively high temperature (about 150 degrees C.). The invention of the present application provides a semiconductor integrated circuit device (semiconductor device or electron circuit device) which includes a semiconductor chip as a part of the device, an electrolytic gold plated surface film (gold-based metal plated film) provided over an aluminum-based bonding pad on a semiconductor chip via a barrier metal film, and a gold bonding wire (gold-based bonding wire) for interconnection between the plated surface film and an external lead provided over a wiring board or the like (wiring substrate).
