This invention provides a lead frame comprising, an inner lead section (4) which is arranged radially around the circumference of a semiconductor chip mounting region, an outer lead section (5) which extends outward from the inner lead section (4); a frame (1) which stably supports the inner and the outer lead sections (4, 5); and means (7) for linking the tips of the outer lead section (5) at positions separated from the frame (1) by units which each correspond to one side of the semiconductor chip. Moreover, this invention provides a semiconductor device comprising a lead frame (1), a semiconductor chip mounted in the centre of the lead frame (1), a encapsulating compound (11) in such a way that the outer installation leads are exposed, and the intermediate sections of the outer leads (5) being shaped for connection to an external circuit with the inner sections and tip sections of the outer leads being buried in the encapsulating compound (11). Furthermore, this invention provides a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a lead frame (1) provided with an inner lead section (4) which is arranged radially around the circumference of a semiconductor chip mounting region, an outer lead section (5) which extends outward from the inner lead section (4) and a frame (1) which stably supports the inner and the outer lead sections, comprising shaping the outer leads (5) for connection to an external circuit with the tips of the outer leads (5) linked at positions separated from the frame (1) by units which each correspond to one side of the semiconductor chip, mounting the semiconductor chip in the chip mounting region section of the lead frame (11), connecting wires between the inner leads (4) and the semiconductor chip, encapsulating the semiconductor device in a compound; and cutting off the linked sections (7) of the tips of the outer leads (5). |
