The quality of a non-leaded semiconductor device is to be improved. The
semiconductor device comprises a sealing body for sealing a semiconductor
chip with resin, a tab disposed in the interior of the sealing body,
suspension leads for supporting the tab, plural leads having respective
to-be-connected surfaces exposed to outer edge portions of a back surface
of the sealing body, and plural wires for connecting pads formed on the
semiconductor chip and the leads with each other. End portions of the
suspending leads positioned in an outer periphery portion of the sealing
body are not exposed to the back surface of the sealing body, but are
covered with the sealing body. Therefore, stand-off portions of the
suspending leads are not formed in resin molding. Accordingly, when
cutting the suspending leads, corner portions of the back surface of the
sealing body can be supported by a flat portion of a holder portion in a
cutting die which flat portion has an area sufficiently wider than a
cutting allowance of the suspending leads, whereby it is possible to
prevent chipping of the resin and improve the quality of the
semiconductor device (QFN).
