  • Patent number: 6404062
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip, solder balls, a printed wiring substrate on which the semiconductor chip is provided and which serves to electrically connect the semiconductor chip and the solder balls. When such a semiconductor device is mounted on a motherboard, at least one through-aperture is in advance formed on the printed wiring substrate oppositely to the semiconductor chip. After the solder balls are soldered to the motherboard, an under-filler is introduced from either of a space between the semiconductor chip and the printed wiring substrate or a space between the printed wiring substrate and the motherboard, thus flowing from one space into the other space via the through-aperture.
