  • Patent number: 6984125
    Abstract: A reflow process is provided for multiple units which improves productivity. A reflow furnace is moved along a transport direction of a tape substrate and is fixed at a position matching the product pitch of a circuit substrate. Any of a plurality of heating blocks and cooling blocks are matched to the product pitches of the circuit substrate. By doing so, it is possible to continuously carry out the reflow process for a tape substrate on which circuit substrates having different product pitches are arranged.

  • Publication number: 20050184379
    Abstract: A method is provided to suppress detachment between semiconductor packages while preventing dislocation at the time of mounting a stacked semiconductor package on a motherboard. Semiconductor packages PK1 and PK2 are bonded to each other through protruding electrodes and resin is provided between the semiconductor packages PK1 and PK2. The resin is provided in the peripheries of the protruding electrodes so as to contact each of the protruding electrodes while not contacting a semiconductor chip.

  • Publication number: 20050098869
    Abstract: A first semiconductor ship is mounted on a first surface of an interposer in such a manner that a first electrode overlaps with a penetrating-hole, and a second semiconductor chip is stacked on the first semiconductor chip. A first wire is disposed on a second surface side and bonded to the first electrode and a second wiring pattern. A second wire is disposed on the first surface side and bonded to a second electrode and a first wiring pattern. A sealing section includes a first portion on the first surface, a second portion on the second surface, and a third portion linking the first and second portions through the penetrating-hole.

  • Publication number: 20040237999
    Abstract: To shorten the time required to clean a printing mask used in printing solder paste pattern, an unused surface of a cotton cleaning sheet is brought into contact with a transfer surface of a printing mask while a feed roller, suction roller, take-up roller, solvent dispenser and air blower are moved horizontally in an integral fashion in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which a tape substrate is conveyed, thereby cleaning the printing mask along the shorter, widthwise direction of the tape substrate.

  • Publication number: 20030221853
    Abstract: Quality control of product manufacturing is performed with a simple structure and, in addition, damage of a product when a production line is stopped is avoided. A preheating block approaches a circuit substrate having a predetermined length along a tape substrate from a predetermined position by gradual upward movements to carry out preheating and is then returned to the predetermined position, a main heating block arranged close to the preheating block is made to contact the circuit substrate on which the preheating has been carried out and which is transported in a predetermined tact to apply peak heating and is then restored to the predetermined position, and a cooling block accesses the circuit substrate to which the peak heating has been applied to cool the circuit substrate and is then returned to the predetermined position.

  • Patent number: 6566763
    Abstract: A method of applying an adhesive material comprising the steps of: providing the adhesive material on an interconnect substrate; and pressure-bonding the adhesive material to the interconnect substrate. A base has a plurality of first regions to be punched out and second regions located between the first regions. An interconnect pattern is formed at least in the first regions. Part of the adhesive material located within the first regions is pressurized to flow toward the second regions to move air bubbles to the second regions.
