An object is to provide a technique capable of suppressing generation of a crack in a molding resin and suppressing entry of moisture from the outside. A semiconductor device includes a heat spreader, a semiconductor element provided on an upper surface of the heat spreader, an insulating sheet provided on a lower surface of the heat spreader, a lead frame joined to an upper surface of the semiconductor element via solder, and a molding resin that seals one end side of the lead frame, the semiconductor element, the heat spreader, and the insulating sheet. A hole is formed from an upper surface of the molding resin to a joining surface of the lead frame with the semiconductor element, and the hole is filled with a low Young's modulus resin having a Young's modulus lower than that of the molding resin.

A semiconductor package formed utilizing multiple etching steps includes a lead frame, a die, and a molding compound. The lead frame includes leads and a die pad. The leads and the die pad are formed from a first conductive material by the multiple etching steps. More specifically, the leads and the die pad of the lead frame are formed by at least three etching steps. The at least three etching steps including a first etching step, a second undercut etching step, and a third backside etching step. The second undercut etching step forming interlocking portions at an end of each lead. The end of the lead is encased in the molding compound. This encasement of the end of the lead with the interlocking portion allows the interlocking portion to mechanically interlock with the molding compound to avoid lead pull out. In addition, by utilizing at least three etching steps the leads can be formed to have a height that is greater than the die pad of the lead frame. This differential in height reduces the span of wires used to form electrical connections within the semiconductor package. These reductions in the span of the wires reduces the chances of wire to wire and wire to die short circuiting because the wire sweep of the wires is reduced when the molding compound is placed.
