This semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip, and a lead
arranged around the semiconductor chip to extend in a direction
intersecting with the side surface of the semiconductor chip, and having
at least an end farther from the semiconductor chip bonded to a package
board, wherein a joint surface to the package board and an end surface
orthogonal to the joint surface are formed on the end of the lead farther
from the semiconductor chip, and a metal plating layer made of a pure
metal is formed on the end surface.
