  • Publication number: 20240063059
    Abstract: In a case where a crack occurs in a dicing step, the crack can be suppressed from proceeding toward an element region. A first scribe region and a second scribe region that both define an element region are formed in a main surface of a semiconductor wafer. In the first scribe region, an evaluation-deep-trench group including an evaluation-deep-trench-first portion and an evaluation-deep-trench-second portion is formed. The evaluation-deep-trench-first portion is formed in a first region. The evaluation-deep-trench-second portion has a width in an X-axis direction, and is formed in a bar shape extending in a Y-axis direction, in a second region located between the first region and the element region.

  • Patent number: 10395967
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device with improved manufacturing efficiency for the semiconductor device. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes the steps of: (a) forming a circuit at a front surface side of a wafer (semiconductor wafer) having the front surface and a back surface opposite to the front surface; (b) grinding the back surface of the wafer that has a center part (first part) and a peripheral edge part (second part) surrounding a periphery of the center part in such a manner that the center part is thinner than the peripheral edge part; (c) attaching an upper surface (bonding surface) of a holding tape to the front surface of the wafer; and (d) separating the center part from the peripheral edge part by cutting a part of the center part with a blade (rotary blade) while the wafer is held by the first tape.

  • Patent number: 10388597
    Abstract: A die bonding process for assembling a semiconductor device includes the steps of applying a sintered-silver-use paste to each of a plurality of first regions on an upper surface of a chip mounting part, drying the sintered-silver-use paste and applying a silver paste to a second region located between/among the respective first regions. Further, the process includes the step of mounting a semiconductor chip onto the chip mounting part in such a manner that a rear surface of the semiconductor chip faces an upper surface of the chip mounting part with the sintered-silver-use paste and the silver paste being interposed. After mounting the chip, part of each of first, second, third and fourth corners of a principal surface of the semiconductor chip is located in each of the first regions.

  • Patent number: 10262927
    Abstract: Reliability of a semiconductor device is improved. For this, embodied is a basic idea that a semiconductor chip (CHP1) mounted on an Ag layer (AGL) is fixed by using a temporarily fixing material (TA) having tackiness without forming the temporarily fixing material (TA) on a surface of the Ag layer (AGL) having a porous structure as much as possible, is realized. More specifically, the temporarily fixing material (TA) is supplied so as to have a portion made in contact with a chip mounting part (TAB), and the semiconductor chip (CHP1) is also mounted on the Ag layer (AGL) so that one portion of a rear surface of the semiconductor chip (CHP1) is made in contact with the temporarily fixing material (TA).

  • Publication number: 20130009300
    Abstract: A dug portion (50) in which a die-bonding material is filled is provided to a lower surface of a stamping nozzle (42) used in a step of applying the die-bonding material onto a chip mounting portion of a wiring board. Planar dimensions of the dug portion (50) are smaller than external dimensions of a chip to be mounted on the chip mounting portion. In addition, a depth of the dug portion (50) is smaller than a thickness of the chip. When the thickness of the chip is 100 ?m or smaller, a problem of crawling up of the die-bonding material to an upper surface of the chip is avoided by applying the die-bonding material onto the chip mounting portion using the stamping nozzle (42).
