Abstract: In order to realize a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof which can keep with a high reliability an electric connection between each of bump pads formed on LSI chips and each of electrode pads formed on an interconnection substrate, within an guaranteed temperature range, a theremal expansion coefficient of an adhesive (3) is in the range of 20 to 60 ppm, and an elastic modulus of a build-up portion (6) is in the range of 5 to 10 GPa. Further, the build-up portion (6) is constituted by a multi-layer build-up substrate in which buid-up portion a peak value (a glass transition temperature) of a loss coefficient exists within a range of 100° C. to 250° C. and does not exist within a range of 0° C. to 100° C.

Abstract: Silicon chip having narrow pitches of Au bumps are mounted on a module substrate in such a way that while taking into consideration a difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between the silicon chip and the module substrate, a total pitch of electrode pads of the silicon chip is made narrower than a total pitch of the Au bumps, thereby preventing misregistration between the Au bumps and the electrode pads in the course of heat treatment to ensure reliable contact therebetween.

Abstract: A central portion of a main face of a package substrate 2 is mounted with a memory chip 1 in face down bonding by a flip chip bonding system. Further, a plurality of chip condensers 7 are mounted at vicinities of the memory chip 1. A clearance between a main face (lower face) of the memory chip 1 and a main face of the package substrate 2 is filled with underfill resin (seal resin) 10 constituting a seal member for achieving protection of connecting portions for connecting both and relaxation of thermal stress. An outer edge of the underfill resin 10 is extended to an outer side of the memory chip 1 and covers entire faces of the chip condensers 7 mounted at vicinities of the memory chip 1.

Abstract: An electronic device comprising a semiconductor chip which is fixed to the mounting face of a wiring board through an adhesive and in which external terminals are electrically connected with electrode pads of the wiring board through bump electrodes. Recesses are formed in the electrode pads, and in the recesses the electrode pads and the bump electrodes are connected. The electrode pads are formed over the surface of a soft layer, and the recesses are formed by elastic deformation of the electrode pads and the soft layer.

Abstract: For manufacturing a packaged semiconductor device, a lead frame with an electrically insulating strip member and a semiconductor chip is placed in a molding unit having upper and lower dies. The upper and lower dies have recessed areas for determining a size of a cavity of the molding unit different from each other, the size of the cavity being measured in a direction perpendicular to a clamping motion direction of the dies. The lead frame is positioned so that a surface of each lead with the insulating strip member applied thereto is contacted with one of the upper and lower dies having a larger recessed area and a molding line of the molding unit intersects the insulating strip member. The molding unit is closed to clamp the lead frame to depress and thrust into spaces between adjacent leads that part of the strip member which is outside the molding line and to form the cavity of the molding unit.

Abstract: An operations manual generation apparatus for use with a host system. The apparatus has an input for receiving ordering input data when an operator places an order following a prescribed procedure for requesting an operations manual from the host system. The apparatus has a first memory which stores first information needed to prepare the requested operations manual. The apparatus also has a second memory for storing instruction information which includes a set of guidance text data which describes the minimum number of operating steps needed to be carried out by an operator. Finally, an edit controller is provided for analyzing the first information to select a suitable combination of guidance text data, so that an operations manual may be output which has been automatically optimized to minimize the number of steps which the operator must take to cause the host system to perform the desired function.
