Means for forming a package is disclosed on which is mounted a
semiconductor chip with a high-speed LSI formed thereon, using a wire
bonding method. The package comprises a semiconductor chip, a die pad
smaller than a main surface of the semiconductor chip, a sealing member,
plural leads each comprising an outer terminal portion and an inner lead
portion, and plural bonding wires for connection between bonding pads
formed on the semiconductor chip and the inner lead portions of the
leads, each of the inner lead portions being bent in a direction away
from a mounting surface of the sealing member, thereby approximating the
height of the chip-side bonding pads and that of a bonding position of
the inner lead portions to each other, whereby the wire length can be
made shorter and it is possible to suppress an increase in inductance of
the wire portions and attain impedance matching at various portion of a
high-frequency signal input/output transmission path.
