The invention reduces outside dimensions of a semiconductor device mounted
with a semiconductor die on an external connection medium and minimizes
degradation of electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device.
The semiconductor device of the invention having a semiconductor die and
a lead frame with a plurality of lead terminals has following features.
The semiconductor die has a plurality of pad electrodes formed on its
front surface, at least one via hole penetrating the semiconductor die, a
columnar electrode electrically connected with the pad electrode through
the via hole, and a protrusion electrode electrically connected with the
columnar electrode. At least one of the lead terminals of the lead frame
is formed extending to a position connectable with the protrusion
electrode, being connected with the protrusion electrode.
