In one form, a method of manufacturing a circuit device comprises providing a lead frame comprising a plurality of leads, each comprising an island portion, a bonding portion elevated from the island portion, a slope portion extending obliquely so as to connect the island portion and the bonding portion, and a lead portion extending from the bonding portion. First and second transistors and first and second diodes are mounted upper surfaces of island portions of respective first and second leads, and are connected to the respective leads through wirings that connect the transistors and diodes to the bonding portions of the respective leads. Lower surfaces of the island portions are attached to an upper surface of a circuit board, and the circuit board, the transistors, the diodes, and the lead frame are encapsulated by a resin, so that the lead portions are not covered by the resin.
