[0078] (Function of the semiconductor package of the first embodiment) The semiconductor package 100 includes a resistor chip 10, a mounting member 110, a sealing resin 160, a first lead 121, and a second lead 122. The resistor chip 10 includes a first element surface 11 on which a plurality of electrodes 40 including a first electrode 41 and a second electrode 42 are provided, and a second element surface 12 opposite the first element surface 11. The resistor chip 10 is mounted on the mounting surface 111 of the mounting member 110. The sealing resin 160 seals the resistor chip 10 mounted on the mounting surface 111. The resistor chip 10 includes a chip substrate 21, an insulator 22, and a resistive layer 30. The chip substrate 21 includes a first substrate surface 21S and a second substrate surface 21R opposite the first substrate surface 21S and constituting the second element surface 12. The insulator 22 is provided on the first substrate surface 21S. The resistive layer 30 is provided within the insulator 22. The resistive layer 30 is connected between the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42. The resistive chip 10 is mounted on the mounting surface 111 with the first element surface 11 and the mounting surface 111 facing each other in the thickness direction of the resistive chip 10.
[0079] Therefore, the mounting member 110 does not require a die pad or the like for mounting the resistor chip 10. This eliminates the need to provide a die pad or to provide other members at a distance from the die pad, increasing the degree of freedom in arrangement within the semiconductor package 100. As a result, the semiconductor package 100 can be made smaller.
[0080] For example, in a case where the chip substrate 21 is mounted on a die pad or the like, it is necessary to increase the distance between the resistive layer 30 and the chip substrate 21 depending on the rating of the resistor chip 10, i.e., the rating of the semiconductor package 100. On the other hand, in the semiconductor package of the first embodiment, the resistor chip 10 is mounted on the mounting surface 111 with the first element surface 11 and the mounting surface 111 facing each other in the thickness direction of the resistor chip 10. In other words, the chip substrate 21 is in a floating state. This makes it possible to prevent the distance between the resistive layer 30 and the chip substrate 21 from affecting the rating of the resistor chip 10 and the rating of the semiconductor package 100.
[0081] The resistor chip 10 is mounted on the mounting surface 111 with the first element surface 11 and the mounting surface 111 facing each other in the thickness direction of the resistor chip 10. Therefore, the sealing resin 160 does not require space for wires or the like for connecting the resistor chip 10 to the mounting member 110, and the semiconductor package 100 can be made smaller.
[0082] The mounting member 110 includes a first lead 121 and a second lead 122 to which the resistor chip 10 is connected, and a third lead 126 to which the amplifier chip 60 is connected. The first lead 121, the second lead 122, and the third lead 126 are formed as a metal plate made of the material of each lead 121, 122, and 126, for example, as a lead frame. The semiconductor package 100 is mounted on a circuit board or the like by each lead 121, 122, and 126. In this way, the semiconductor package 100 can be easily mounted.
[0083] The semiconductor package 100 includes an amplifier chip 60 connected to the resistor chip 10. Therefore, there is no need to separately mount the amplifier chip 60, and the number of steps required for mounting and the area required on the circuit board or the like can be reduced.
[0084] Similar to the resistor chip 10, the amplifier chip 60 is mounted with the electrodes 70 of the amplifier chip 60 facing the mounting member 110. Therefore, the semiconductor package 100 including the amplifier chip 60 can be made smaller.
[0085] (Effects of the first embodiment) As described above, the semiconductor package 100 of the first embodiment provides the following advantages.
[0086] (1-1) The semiconductor package 100 includes a resistor chip 10, a mounting member 110, a sealing resin 160, a first lead 121, and a second lead 122. The resistor chip 10 includes a first element surface 11 on which a plurality of electrodes 40 including a first electrode 41 and a second electrode 42 are provided, and a second element surface 12 opposite the first element surface 11. The resistor chip 10 is mounted on the mounting surface 111 of the mounting member 110. The sealing resin 160 seals the resistor chip 10 mounted on the mounting surface 111. The resistor chip 10 includes a chip substrate 21, an insulator 22, and a resistive layer 30. The chip substrate 21 includes a first substrate surface 21S and a second substrate surface 21R opposite the first substrate surface 21S and constituting the second element surface 12. The insulator 22 is provided on the first substrate surface 21S. The resistive layer 30 is provided within the insulator 22. The resistive layer 30 is connected between a first electrode 41 and a second electrode 42. The resistive chip 10 is mounted on the mounting surface 111 with the first element surface 11 and the mounting surface 111 facing each other in the thickness direction of the resistive chip 10.
[0087] Therefore, the mounting member 110 does not require a die pad or the like for mounting the resistor chip 10. This eliminates the need to provide a die pad or to provide other members at a distance from the die pad, increasing the degree of freedom in arrangement within the semiconductor package 100. As a result, the semiconductor package 100 can be made smaller.
[0088] (1-2) In the semiconductor package, the resistor chip 10 is mounted on the mounting surface 111 with the first element surface 11 and the mounting surface 111 facing each other in the thickness direction of the resistor chip 10. In other words, the chip substrate 21 is in a floating state. This makes it possible to prevent the distance between the resistive layer 30 and the chip substrate 21 from affecting the rating of the resistor chip 10 and the rating of the semiconductor package 100.
[0089] (1-3) The resistor chip 10 is mounted on the mounting surface 111 with the first element surface 11 and the mounting surface 111 facing each other in the thickness direction of the resistor chip 10. Therefore, the sealing resin 160 does not require space for wires or the like for connecting the resistor chip 10 to the mounting member 110, and the semiconductor package 100 can be made smaller.
[0090] (1-4) The mounting member 110 includes a first lead 121 and a second lead 122 to which the resistor chip 10 is connected, and a third lead 126 to which the amplifier chip 60 is connected. The first lead 121, the second lead 122, and the third lead 126 are formed as, for example, a lead frame, as a metal plate made of the material of each lead 121, 122, and 126. The semiconductor package 100 is mounted on a circuit board or the like by each lead 121, 122, and 126. In this way, the semiconductor package 100 can be easily mounted.
[0091] (1-5) The semiconductor package 100 includes an amplifier chip 60 connected to the resistor chip 10. This eliminates the need to separately mount the amplifier chip 60, reducing the number of steps required for mounting and the area required on the circuit board, etc.
[0092] (1-6) Like the resistor chip 10, the amplifier chip 60 is mounted with the electrodes 70 of the amplifier chip 60 facing the mounting member 110. Therefore, the semiconductor package 100 including the amplifier chip 60 can be made smaller.
[0093] (Modification of the first embodiment) The first embodiment can be modified, for example, as follows: The first embodiment can be combined with the following modifications as long as no technical contradiction occurs. In the following modifications, parts common to the first embodiment will be assigned the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment, and their description will be omitted.
[0094] FIG. 8 shows a semiconductor package 100A of a modified example. FIG. 8 shows a schematic cross-sectional structure corresponding to FIG. 3 showing the semiconductor package 100 of the first embodiment. A mounting member 110A of the semiconductor package 100A includes a plurality of leads 130. The plurality of leads 130 include a first lead 131, a second lead 132, a third lead 133, and an intermediate lead 134. Note that in FIG. 8, the second lead 132 is shown in parentheses together with the first lead 131. The second lead 132 has the same configuration as the first lead 131. The first lead 131, the second lead 132, and the third lead 133 of the modified example do not protrude from the sealing resin 160.
[0095] The first lead 131 and the third lead 133 may include a wiring portion 135 and a terminal portion 136. The wiring portion 135 of the first lead 131 extends from a portion overlapping with the resistor chip 10 to a third sealing side surface 165 in a plan view. The wiring portion 135 of the third lead 133 extends from a portion overlapping with the amplifier chip 60 to a fourth sealing side surface 166 in a plan view.
[0096] The terminal portion 136 extends from the wiring portion 135 to the second surface 162 of the sealing resin 160. The terminal portion 136 is exposed on the second surface 162 and the sealing side surface 166 of the sealing resin 160. The wiring portion 135 and the terminal portion 136 may be an integrally formed unit.
[0097] The resistor chip 10 is mounted on the wiring portion 135 of the first lead 131. The amplifier chip 60 is mounted on the wiring portion 135 of the third lead 133. The resistor chip 10 and the amplifier chip 60 are mounted on the intermediate lead 134. The intermediate lead 134 electrically connects the resistor chip 10 and the amplifier chip 60. In the Z-axis direction, the thickness of the wiring portion 135 may be thinner than the thickness of the terminal portion 136. The intermediate lead 134 may have the same thickness as the wiring portion 135.
[0098] The first lead 131, the third lead 133, and the intermediate lead 134 may be formed, for example, by partially removing, for example, by etching, a plate-like member made of the material of the first lead 131, the third lead 133, and the intermediate lead 134. This makes it possible to easily form the mounting member 110A including the first lead 131, the third lead 133, and the intermediate lead 134.
[0099] Furthermore, the semiconductor package 100A of the modified example may include an external conductive film 140 that covers the surfaces of the leads 130 exposed from the sealing resin 160. In the modified example shown in FIG. 8, the external conductive film 140 covers the surfaces of the first lead 131 and the third lead 133. The external conductive film 140 may cover the surfaces of the wiring portion 135 and the terminal portion 136 exposed from the sealing resin 160. The external conductive film 140 may be composed of, for example, a metal layer. The metal layer may be composed of, for example, at least one of a Ni layer, a Pd layer, and an Au layer.
[0100] The first lead 131 is exposed on the second surface 162 and the sealing side surface 165 of the sealing resin 160. The third lead 133 is exposed on the second surface 162 and the sealing side surface 166 of the sealing resin 160. The surfaces exposed on the second surface 162 and the sealing side surfaces 165, 166 are surfaces to which a joining material such as solder is attached for mounting the semiconductor package 100A of this modified example to a mounting substrate. This allows the semiconductor package 100A to be firmly mounted to the mounting substrate. In the semiconductor package 100A of this modified example, the first lead 131 and the third lead 133 do not protrude from the sealing side surfaces 165, 166 of the sealing resin 160, thereby allowing the semiconductor package 100A to be made smaller. Furthermore, the area occupied by the semiconductor package 100A on the mounting substrate is small.
[0101] Fig. 9 shows a semiconductor package 100B according to a modified example, and shows a schematic cross-sectional structure corresponding to Fig. 3 showing the semiconductor package 100 according to the first embodiment. The semiconductor package 100B of the modified example shown in Fig. 9 differs from the semiconductor package 100A of the modified example shown in Fig. 8 in the position of the terminal portion 136. The terminal portion 136 is arranged from sealing side surfaces 165, 166 of the sealing resin 160 toward the inside of the semiconductor package 100B and spaced apart from the sealing side surfaces 165, 166. In the semiconductor package 100B of the modified example shown in Fig. 9, the terminal portion 136 is not exposed from the sealing side surfaces 165, 166. The semiconductor package 100B of this modified example also achieves the same effects as the semiconductor package 100A of the modified example shown in Fig. 8.
