Abstract: The semiconductor device having the structure which laminated the chip in many stages is made thin. A reforming area is formed by irradiating a laser beam, where a condensing point is put together with the inside of the semiconductor substrate of a semiconductor wafer. Then, after applying the binding material of liquid state to the back surface of a semiconductor wafer by a spin coating method, this is dried and a solid-like adhesive layer is formed. Then, a semiconductor wafer is divided into each semiconductor chip by making the above-mentioned reforming area into a division origin. By pasting up this semiconductor chip on the main surface of an other semiconductor chip by the adhesive layer of the back surface, the semiconductor device having the structure for which the semiconductor chip was laminated by many stages is manufactured.

Abstract: In a semiconductor device in which a plurality of semiconductor chips are stacked on a mounting substrate, an adhesive material formed of resin mainly having a thermosetting property is applied to a semiconductor chip mounting region on the mounting substrate. After mounting semiconductor chips on the adhesive material, the adhesive material is cured by heat treatment. When these parts are naturally cooled to a normal temperature, the mounting substrate warps in a convex shape due to the difference in an ? value between the mounting substrate and the semiconductor chip. However, pads are connected by wire bonding and, an adhesive material formed of resin having a thermoplastic property is laminated to the semiconductor chip. Then, a spacer chip is bonded to the adhesive material by thermal compression bonding. Accordingly, due to heat generated at the time of thermal compression bonding, the mounting substrate and the semiconductor chip become substantially flat.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip formed with connection terminals, an elastic structure interposed between a main surface of the chip and a wiring substrate formed with wirings connected at first ends thereof to the connection terminals, and bump electrodes connected to the other ends of the wirings. The connection terminals may be at a center part or in peripheral part(s) of the chip main surface and both the elastic structure and wiring substrate are not provided at locations of connection terminals. A resin body seals at least the connection terminals and the exposed first ends of wirings (leads). In a scheme in which the connection terminals are located in a peripheral part of the chip main surface, the wiring substrate protrudes beyond the chip boundary where the connection terminals are arranged, and the resin body shape is restricted by the protruding part of the wiring substrate.

Abstract: The reliability of a thin semiconductor device is to be improved. A tape having a ring affixed to an outer periphery thereof is affixed to a main surface of a semiconductor wafer, and, in this state, a back surface of the semiconductor wafer is subjected to grinding and polishing to thin the wafer. Thereafter, the semiconductor wafer is conveyed to a dicing apparatus in a state in which the tape with the ring is affixed to the wafer main surface without peeling of the tape, and dicing is performed from the back surface side of the semiconductor wafer to divide the wafer into individual semiconductor chips. With this method, handling of the thin semiconductor wafer by rear surface processing can be facilitated. Besides, the manufacturing process can be simplified because the replacement of the tape is not needed at the time of shift from rear surface processing to the dicing process.

Abstract: A contact collect is provided to prevent damage to the top surface of a semiconductor chip at the time of die bonding the semiconductor chip. A protection tape is pasted to the top surface of the semiconductor chip before die bonding of the semiconductor chip is executed by pressing the back surface (underside) of the semiconductor chip sucked and securely held by the contact collect against respective chip-mounting regions of a multi-wiring board. The contact collect is, for example, substantially cylidrical in outside shape, and a bottom part (suction head) thereof is made of soft synthetic rubber, etc. The protection tape pasted to the top surface of the semiconductor chip prevents the top surface of the semiconductor chip from directly contacting with the contact collect even at the time of vacuum suction by pressing the suction head of the contact collect against the top surface of the semiconductor chip.

Abstract: A technique capable of stably releasing chips from a dicing tape, includes grinding a back surface of a semiconductor wafer, while adhering a pressure sensitive adhesive tape to a circuit forming surface of the semiconductor wafer formed with an integrated circuit, to achieve a predetermined thickness and forcibly oxidizing the back surface of the semiconductor wafer. Then, the pressure sensitive adhesive tape adhered to the circuit forming surface of the semiconductor wafer is released, and a dicing tape is adhered to the back surface of the semiconductor wafer. Further, the semiconductor wafer is divided by dicing it into individual chips, and then the back surface of the chip is pressed by way of the dicing tape, thereby releasing the chips from the dicing tape.
