  • Patent number: 10050011
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device having improved reliability. In the semiconductor device in an embodiment, a mark is provided correspondingly to the bonding area of a belt-like wiring exposed from an opening provided in a solder resist. As a result, in an alignment step for the wire bonding area, the coordinate position of the wire bonding area can be adjusted using not the end portion of the opening formed in the solder resist, but the mark formed correspondingly to the wire bonding area as a reference. Also, in the semiconductor device in the embodiment, the mark serving as a characteristic pattern is formed. This allows the wire bonding area to be adjusted based on camera recognition.

  • Patent number: 9972555
    Abstract: To provide a semiconductor device having improved reliability. The semiconductor device has a wiring board, bonding land, semiconductor chip mounted on the wiring board via an adhesive layer and having a pad electrode, bonding wire connecting the pad electrode with the bonding land, and sealing body. The sealing body is, in a circuit formation region, in contact with an organic protection film and, in a scribe region and a region between the pad electrode and the scribe region, in contact with a surface protection film while not in contact with the organic protection film. A first side surface is closer to the circuit formation region side than a second one. The adhesive layer covers entirety of the semiconductor chip back surface and the second side surface of the semiconductor chip. The first side surface is in contact with the sealing body without being covered with the adhesive layer.

  • Patent number: 9087816
    Abstract: To achieve a reduction in cost of a semiconductor device, in a common board (a wiring board), a plurality of bonding leads each extend toward the center of the board, and a solder resist film as a die bonding region supporting a minimum chip is coated with a die bonding material. With this, even when a first semiconductor chip as a large chip is mounted, wire bonding can be performed without causing the die bonding material to cover the bonding leads. Thus, development cost can be reduced to reduce the cost of the semiconductor device (LGA).
