Abstract: A semiconductor device fabrication process comprising an encapsulation step of carrying out encapsulation by vacuum pressure differential printing by the use of a liquid resin encapsulant containing a solvent in an amount of from 5% by weight to 50% by weight, and preferably from 25% by weight to 50% by weight. The encapsulation step comprises: printing the liquid resin encapsulant by vacuum pressure differential printing in such a way that; the encapsulant covers at least an internal connecting terminal provided on a substrate, a semiconductor chip, and a wire interconnecting the internal connecting terminal and the semiconductor chip; and that the thickness of the encapsulant lying above the wire at the highest position of the wire comes to be at least 0.8 times the thickness of the encapsulant lying beneath the wire at the same position; and curing or drying the encapsulant.

Abstract: A semiconductor device comprising a substrate with a cavity portion for mounting a semiconductor chip is provided to achieve a high reliability and to decrease a size and a fabricating cost. The cavity portion capable of mounting the semiconductor chip (1) at the center portion of the substrate is formed by press forming with a projected portion (13a) of a die (13) while adhering a press shapeable wiring body comprising a copper wiring (12) which becomes wiring material, a barrier layer (11) such as nickel alloy or the like, and a copper foil (10) which is a carrier layer, to a plastic substrate (14,15), so as to have wiring (2) buried into a surface of the substrate and to form a ramp between an inner connection terminal portion connecting to the semiconductor chip (1) and an external connection terminal portion connecting to an external connection terminals (5), the internal and external connection terminal portions being two edge portions of the wiring (2).

Abstract: Provided is bonding film for printed circuit boards which is resistant to cracking even when bent with a small radius of curvature, has a sufficient mechanical strength even in its semi-cured state so that the handling may be facilitated, is not undesirably brittle and therefore does not produce undesired debris when cut, and is flexible and flame retardant at the same time. The bonding film may consist of (i) high polymer epoxy resin; (ii) denatured polyamide obtained by reacting epoxy resin and polyamide; (iii) polyfunctional epoxy resin; and (iv) curing agent. Preferably, the denatured polyamide includes a polyalkylene-glycol residue or a polycarbonate-diol residue. Preferably, the high polymer epoxy resin is produced by the polymerization of bifunctional epoxy resin and bifunctional phenol resin, and has a weight averaged molecular weight equal to 50,000 or higher.

Abstract: In a process for producing a multilayer printed circuit board comprising drilling holes for via holes in a composite film material containing at least a copper foil and an insulating half-cured adhesive layer, laminating the resulting film material on an innerlayer circuit substrate, ad electrically connecting an innerlayer circuit with an outer layer copper foil, when an adhesive resin flowed into the holes is roughened, or when a composite film material having a copper foil of less than 12 .mu.m thick formed on a carrier is used, or a special cushion material is further laminated on the laminate of the innerlayer circuit substrate and the film material, electrical connection reliability is enhanced and circuit density can be increased with easy steps.

Abstract: A process for producing a wiring board involves laminating a metal foil on both sides of an insulating substrate not completely cured, followed by pressing with heating; drilling holes in the resulting laminate for connecting circuits therein; removing portions of the metal foils in narrow areas around the holes to form hollow portions in the metal foils; and filling a flowable electroconductive substance in the holes and the hollow portions.
