A heat radiation electrode (15) is exposed from the back surface of an
insulating
resin (13), and a metal plate (23) is affixed to this heat radiation
electrode (15). The back surface of this metal plate (23) and the
back surface of a first supporting member (11) are substantially within
a same plane, so that it is readily affixed to a second supporting member (24).
Accordingly, the heat generated by the semiconductor chip can be efficiently dissipated
via the heat radiation electrode (15), the metal plate (23) and the
second supporting member (24).
