<Effects and manufacturing method>
Next, effects achieved by the present embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described. In the following, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the mounting component 91 encapsulated with resin using the one metal plate 10 and the other metal plate 50 described above will also be described.

  First, an effect relating to the lead frame obtained by joining one metal plate 10 and the other metal plate 50 to each other will be described.

  In general, the electrical conductivity and the elastic modulus are inversely related, and the copper material having a high electrical conductivity has a low elastic modulus, while the copper material having a high elastic modulus and a spring property has a low electrical conductivity. For this reason, it has been difficult to achieve both of them with a conventional lead frame made of one material.

  For this reason, the inventor of this application considered using what joined two types of metal plates from which a material differs as a lead frame. Then, the metal plate was plated. However, the inventors of the present application faced the problem that when the metal plate plated in this way is used, reflowing (reflow soldering) causes the plating to remelt. When the plating is remelted in this way, the underlying metal may be exposed or irregularities may be formed on the surface, which may cause mounting defects.

  In this regard, according to the present embodiment, one metal plate 10 is plated, and the other metal plate 50 is connected to a mounting substrate 90 on which a mounting component 91 such as an IC chip is reflow soldered. Therefore, by reflowing only the other metal plate 50 and the mounting substrate 90, it is not necessary to reheat the plated metal plate 10 and remelt the plating. For this reason, it is possible to avoid re-melting the plating of one metal plate 10, and as a result, it is possible to prevent a mounting defect from occurring.

  When plating the entire lead frame, it is conceivable that the lead frame wound in a roll shape is fed out and immersed in a plating solution to be plated, and then wound again in a roll shape. However, the entire lead frame is bent (coil set is generated) because it is wound in a roll shape in this way, and there is a possibility that an assembly failure in the process and a dimensional accuracy in a finished product are affected. In this regard, according to the present embodiment, since only one metal plate 10 is plated and the other metal plate 50 is not plated, the inconvenience due to bending can be minimized. In addition, since only one metal plate 10 is bent as described above, it does not require much labor to correct the bending.

  Further, when a terminal 15 such as a press-fit pin is provided at the tip of the lead frame, high positional accuracy is required for the tip of the terminal 15, and in such a case, higher dimensional accuracy is required. Is done. In this regard, in the present embodiment, one metal plate 10 is positioned with respect to the other metal plate 50 by various methods as described later. For this reason, according to this Embodiment, the request | requirement of high dimensional accuracy can be satisfy | filled.

  Next, a semiconductor device manufacturing method will be described with reference to effects achieved by the lead frame and the lead frame manufacturing method according to the present embodiment.

Moreover, the 3rd reduction part 26 is positioned between a pair of 3rd convex parts 76, and the 3rd extension part 22 and the 3rd fitting part 72 are positioned mutually. Moreover, the 4th reduction part 28 is positioned between a pair of 4th convex parts 78, and the 4th extension part 23 and the 4th fitting part 73 are positioned with respect to each other. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, one metal plate 10 can be positioned with respect to the other metal plate 50 in a simple manner. Moreover, in this Embodiment, since one metal plate 10 can be positioned with respect to the other metal plate 50 in the four corners of one metal plate 10, accurate positioning can be expected.

As a result, the positioning of the first extending portion 12 with respect to the first fitting portion 62 is performed. Similarly, the second enlarged portion 19 of the second extending portion 13 is pressed. When the second enlarged portion 19 is pressed in this way, the second enlarged portion 19 is extended and caulked against the second accommodating portion 69. As a result, positioning of the second extending portion 13 with respect to the second fitting portion 63 is performed. Similarly, the third enlarged portion 27 of the third extending portion 22 is pressed. When the third enlarged portion 27 is pressed in this manner, the third enlarged portion 27 extends and is caulked against the third accommodating portion 77. As a result, the positioning of the third extending portion 22 with respect to the third fitting portion 72 is performed. Similarly, the fourth enlarged portion 29 of the fourth extending portion 23 is pressed. By pressing the fourth enlarged portion 29 in this way, the fourth enlarged portion 29 is extended and caulked against the fourth accommodating portion 79.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the first extended portion 17 is deformed by pressing the distal end side of the first extending portion main body 12a from the first protruding portion 31, that is, the first enlarged portion 17. At least the distal end of the first enlarged portion 17 abuts on the first accommodating portion 67, and the first extending portion main body 12a is positioned by being caulked with respect to the first fitting portion 62.
