A molded package comprises at least a first metal member, a second metal
member, and a third metal member. Each member includes an end portion
inserted into a mold member where a recess is formed and another end
portion protruding from an outer wall of the mold member. A portion of
each main surface of the metal members is exposed from the mold member in
the bottom of the recess. A portion of each main surface can be also
divided into at least two bonding regions by a wall portion comprising
part of the mold member. A semiconductor device of the present invention
comprises the molded package, a semiconductor component, and an
encapsulating member covering the semiconductor component, and has a high
reliability.
