  • Patent number: 6875639
    Abstract: A semiconductor chip has a quadrangle main surface, a wiring substrate, and a resin seal member for sealing the semiconductor chip, in which the resin seal member has a quadrangle main surface which confronts the main surface of the semiconductor chip. A gate cut trace portion is formed on a side face extending along a first side of the main surface of the resin seal member. A sectional area of an area between the main surface of the wiring substrate and the main surface of the resin seal member at a position outside a side face of the semiconductor chip is smaller than a sectional area of an area between the main surface of the semiconductor chip and the main surface of the resin seal member.

  • Patent number: 6835596
    Abstract: An improvement of the yield of semiconductor devices is achieved in the manufacture of a semiconductor device. The method includes forming a resin enclosure for block-molding a plurality of a semiconductor chips by placing a plurality of semiconductor chips inside a cavity of a molding die along with a substrate, and then injecting a resin from a first side to a second side of a main surface of the substrate. The plurality of semiconductor chips are mounted on the main surface of the substrate from the first side to the second side of the main surface with a predetermined spacing, the second side facing the first side. The method is characterized by the application of cleaning treatment to the main surface of the substrate before forming the resin enclosure.

  • Patent number: 6767767
    Abstract: A semiconductor device manufacturing method is disclosed which can reduce the cost of manufacturing an MAP type semiconductor device. According to this method, a substrate with semiconductor chips mounted at predetermined intervals in a matrix shape on a main surface thereof is clamped between a lower mold and an upper mold of a molding die, an insulating resin is injected through gates into a cavity formed on the main surface side of the substrate, air present within the cavity is allowed to escape from air vents, to form a block molding package which covers the semiconductor chips, thereafter bump electrodes are formed on a back surface of the substrate, and then the block molding package and the substrate are cut longitudinally and transversely to fabricate plural semiconductor devices. The air vents are formed by grooves provided in the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20030145461
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is disclosed which can prevent the leakage of resin and improve the production efficiency. The semiconductor device comprises a substrate, the substrate having plural connecting terminals formed around a recess and plural bump lands arranged side by side around the connecting terminals, a semiconductor chip disposed in the recess, plural wires for connecting pads on the semiconductor chip and the connecting terminals on the substrate with each other, a seal portion embedded in the recess, and plural ball electrodes provided on the bump lands of the substrate. A dummy wiring covered with solder resist is formed in an area between the plural connecting terminals and the plural bump lands on the substrate. According to this construction, a gap between a mold surface of an upper mold and the surface of the substrate, which gap is formed at the time of die clamping, is filled up with the dummy wiring and the solder resist which covers the dummy wiring.

  • Patent number: 5910010
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device includes the steps of constructing a plurality of lead frames having leads which each include an inner portion and an outer portion and electrically connecting a semiconductor chip to the inner portions of the leads of each frame. The lead frames are then stacked one above each other to form a vertical stack and plates are then inserted between each of the lead frames with each plate having an opening in the center whereby a central cavity is formed in the stack. The stack is then placed between a top mold member and a bottom mold member and a resin is injected into the central cavity whereupon the resin is cured to form a single resin package encapsulating the semiconductor chips. The resin package is then released from the mold members.
