In a conventional package using a lead frame and transfer mold, a lead terminal for external connection is made to protrude from the resin, so that the distance to the tip of the lead terminal is not considered as a mounting area. However, there is a disadvantage that the mounting area is much larger than the external dimensions of the resin.

Referring to FIG. 7, such an apparatus is provided with an island portion 52 and a lead portion 53 by a conductive pattern on a first insulating substrate 51, and a semiconductor chip 54 is die-bonded and wire-bonded to form a second insulating substrate 51. External electrodes 5 on the back of 55
6, and further provided with cutouts 57 provided with conductive plating at four corners of the second insulating substrate 55 and connected to the external electrodes 56,
The external electrode 56 is electrically connected to the island portion 52 and the lead portion 53 by an intermediate conductor pattern 58 and a through hole 59. The external dimensions of the package are not determined by the cavity of the mold, but are formed by dicing the semiconductor chip 54 with the resin 60 around the semiconductor chip 54. When this is mounted, the external electrode 56 formed on the back surface of the second insulating substrate 55 is used as an electrode together with the conductive plating layer exposed on the inner surface of the notch 57, and is bonded to the mounting substrate by soldering. In this structure, since the lead terminals do not protrude, the mounting area can be significantly reduced. FIG. 7B is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. 7A.

However, such a structure has a structure in which the end surfaces of the conductive patterns of the island portion 52 and the lead portion 53 are exposed at the boundary between the resin 60 and the first insulating substrate 51. Since gold (Au) used for the conductive pattern has extremely high wettability with the solder, when the mounting solder reaches the end face of the conductive pattern, the solder is attracted to the first insulating substrate 5.
It has been clarified that the solder penetrates into the boundary between the resin 1 and the resin 60 to cause peeling failure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. First, a plurality of semiconductor chips are mounted on a substrate formed by attaching a plurality of insulating substrates. In addition, the semiconductor chip is sealed with a resin layer, and the resin and the insulating substrate are diced and cut so as to surround the semiconductor chip, thereby providing a semiconductor device capable of greatly reducing the external dimensions and mounting area of the device. is there.

Second, the conductor pattern formed on the surface of the first insulating substrate is retreated inward from the outer peripheral end surface of the first insulating substrate, thereby preventing the conductive pattern from being exposed on the outer peripheral end surface. This prevents the solder at the time of mounting from being adsorbed between the resin layer and the first insulating substrate.
