An improvement is achieved in the performance of a semiconductor device. A second component mounting portion over which a first electronic component is mounted is connected to a coupling portion of a lead frame via a suspension lead. The suspension lead has a first portion between the second component mounting portion and the coupling portion and a second portion between the first portion and the coupling portion. The second portion has a third portion connected to the first portion and having a width smaller than a width of the first portion, a fourth portion connected to the first portion and having a width smaller than the width of the first portion, and a through hole (opening) located between the third and fourth portions. Each of the first, third, and fourth portions has the same thickness. After a sealing body is formed, a cutting jig is pressed against the suspension lead to cut the suspension lead.

An emissive panel and associated assembly method are provided. The method provides an emissive substrate having an insulating layer with a top surface and a back surface, and a dielectric layer overlying the insulating layer patterned to form a plurality of wells. Each well has a bottom surface formed on the insulating layer top surface with a first electrical interface electrically connected to a first conductive pressure channel (CPC). The CPCs are each made up of a pressure via with sidewalls formed between the well bottom surface and the insulating layer back surface. A metal layer coats the sidewalls, and a medium flow passage formed interior to the metal layer. The method uses negative pressure through the CPCs to help capture emissive elements in a liquid flow deposition process.
