A semiconductor device (21) can include, e.g., a recessed portion (25) on
the reverse surface (224) of an insulating resin (22) which is the
mounting surface of the semiconductor device (21). Additionally, on the
outer peripheral surface of the recessed portion (25), the exposed region
of leads (26) and the reverse surface (224) of the insulating resin (22)
form generally the same plane. This allows, e.g., a QFN semiconductor
device (21) according to preferred embodiments herein to place dust
particles in the recessed portion (25) even in the presence of dust
particles such as crushed burr particles of the leads (26) or plastic
burrs, thereby avoiding mounting deficiencies when mounting the
semiconductor device.
