Patent number: 10050011Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2017Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: RENESAS ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Kenya Hironaga, Masatoshi Yasunaga, Tatsuya Hirai, Soshi Kuroda

Patent number: 9972555Abstract: 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.
