          Application No. 08/539,069                                                  


          adhered to the insulating layer, and each of the lead                       
          terminals has a portion that is smaller in width than the                   
          width of the bonding part.                                                  
               Claim 7 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it               
          reads as follows:                                                           
               7.  A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor                 
                   chip having at least one bonding pad; an insulating               
          layer          selectively formed on said semiconductor chip;               
          at least                                                                    
                   one lead terminal provided for said at least one                  
          bonding                                                                     
                   pad, said at least one lead terminal including a                  
          bonding                                                                     
                   part adhered to said insulating layer and an inner                
          lead,                                                                       
                   said inner lead having a first portion projecting                 
          from said           insulating layer toward said bonding pad                
          and a second                                                                
                   portion disposed between said bonding part and said               
                   first portion and adhered to said insulating layer;               
                   said second portion extending from said bonding part              
          in                                                                          
                   a first direction toward said first portion with a                
          width                                                                       
                   that is smaller than a width of said bonding part,                
          and                                                                         
                   having a first bent segment on said insulating layer              
                   extending in a second direction perpendicular to                  
          said first          direction and a second bent segment on said             
          insulating                                                                  
                   layer extending in said first direction and joining               
          said           first portion; and at least one bonding wire                 
          connecting said          at least one bonding pad to said                   
          bonding part of said at            least one lead terminal.                 


                                          2
