Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element, a first lead including a die pad portion, the die pad portion including a first lead obverse surface facing a first side in a thickness direction and carrying the semiconductor element, a first lead reverse surface facing a second side in the thickness direction, and a first lead side surface facing a first side in a first direction; a second lead apart from the die pad portion toward the first side in the first direction; and a wire conductively bonded to the semiconductor element and the second lead. The die pad portion includes a contact avoidance surface connected to the first lead obverse surface and the first lead side surface. The contact avoidance surface overlaps with the wire as viewed in the thickness direction, and is located on the second side in the thickness direction with respect to the first lead obverse surface.
