Method for making a semiconductor device

摘要

A method of making a semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor element and a support member having a recess for housing the semiconductor element is disclosed. The method includes placing at least two lead electrode portions in the molding die; supplying a molding member to the molding die so that the molding member contacts the portion of at least two lead electrode portions; heating the molding member in the molding die so as to cure the molding member into a package with the portion of at least two lead electrode portions; and removing the package from the molding die by a pushing member such that at least one of a protrusion and a recess are formed in a surface of the package. Using this process, a semiconductor device can be obtained with a high process yield.
