Publication number: 20120329182Abstract: When metal junction between a first electrode and a second electrode is executed as ultrasonic bonding between metals including at least copper, the ultrasonic bonding is performed in a state that a contact interface between the first electrode and the second electrode is covered with a bonding auxiliary agent. As a result, formation of oxide at a bonding interface between the first electrode and the second electrode due to execution of the ultrasonic bonding can be suppressed. Therefore, while a desired bonding strength is ensured, ultrasonic bonding with copper used for the first electrode or the second electrode can be fulfilled and cost cuts in mounting of semiconductor devices can be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2011Publication date: December 27, 2012Inventors: Teppei Kojio, Masashi Matsumori, Tadahiko Sakai, Takatoshi Ishikawa

Patent number: 8025205Abstract: By an electronic component mounting method for electrically connecting bumps to board electrodes, in a contact process for placing a thermosetting resin in a liquid glob state on the board surface and bringing the lower surface of the electronic component into contact with the thermosetting resin, the bumps are pressurized against the electrodes in positional alignment in a liquid glob distribution state where one portion of the liquid glob is arranged inside an electronic component mounting region and a remaining portion greater in liquid measure than the one portion is arranged outside the electronic component mounting region. The thermosetting resin enters into a gap between the electronic component and the board by capillarity in a thermocompression bonding process. This prevents voids occurring in the sealing resin, reinforces bonded portions of bumps and electrodes with thermally cured thermosetting resin, thereby preventing bonded portion breakage due to thermal stress generated during cooling.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2006Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignees: Panasonic Corporation, Namics CorporationInventors: Tadahiko Sakai, Hideki Eifuku, Osamu Suzuki, Satomi Kawamoto

Patent number: 7886432Abstract: A method for connecting a first terminal array 6 provided in a connection portion 5 of a first electric component and a second terminal array 8 provided in a connection portion 7 of a second electric component to each other in such a manner that electric continuity is established between them has two steps, that is, a step of tentatively fixing the two connection portions 5 and 7 with each other whose terminal arrays 6 and 8 are positioned with respect to each other by soldering them with solder particles 3 using a paste-like anisotropic conductive adhesive 1 in which the solder particles 3 and conductive particles 4 are dispersed in a thermosetting resin 2, and a step of finally fixing the two connection portions 5 and 7 with each other with the thermosetting resin 2 that has been set thermally. This prevents positional deviation from occurring between the two terminal arrays 6 and 8 during a transport from a tentative fixing apparatus to a final fixing apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2007Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Tadahiko Sakai, Hideki Eifuku
