Provided is a lead frame having an improved wire bonding property of inner
leads and an improved soldering property of outer leads and preventing
defects with high producing yield, and a method of manufacturing the lead
frame. The lead frame includes a plurality of inner leads formed with
predetermined intervals between them; and a plurality of outer leads
extended from the inner leads in length directions of the inner leads,
each of which has an end portion overlapped with the inner lead and
coupled thereto and the other end connected to neighboring outer lead by
