A semiconductor package encapsulating a semiconductor chip provides inner
leads and outer leads for establishing electrical connections with the
substrate. Herein, a lead frame is set into the metal mold, into which a
resin is injected and which is clamped in proximity to the outer leads.
Thus, the semiconductor package is sealed so as to avoid unwanted
formation of resin burrs around lower surfaces of the inner leads. In
addition, a semiconductor device is produced using a package in which a
semiconductor chip mounted on a stage and terminals are embedded within a
resin. Each terminal provides an electrode surface, an interconnecting
portion, and an exposed terminal surface. Herein, an isolation portion is
formed as an integral part of the package made by the resin and is
arranged in the prescribed area between the electrode surface and the
exposed terminal surface.
