  • Publication number: 20140084440
    Abstract: In a non-leaded type semiconductor device, a tab, tab suspension leads, and other leads are exposed to one surface of a seal member. A semiconductor element is positioned within the seal member and fixed to a surface of the tab with an adhesive. The tab is formed larger than the semiconductor element so that outer peripheral edges of the tab are positioned outside outer peripheral edges of the semiconductor element. A groove is formed in the tab surface portion positioned between the area to which the semiconductor element is fixed and wire connection areas to which the wires are connected, the groove being formed so as to surround the semiconductor element fixing area, thereby preventing peeling-off between the tab to which the semiconductor element is fixed and the resin which constitutes the package.

  • Publication number: 20140054759
    Abstract: A non-leaded semiconductor device comprises a sealing body for sealing a semiconductor chip, a tab in the interior of the sealing body, suspension leads for supporting the tab, leads having respective surfaces exposed to outer edge portions of a back surface of the sealing body, and wires connecting pads formed on the semiconductor chip and the leads. End portions of the suspension leads positioned in an outer periphery portion of the sealing body are unexposed to the back surface of the sealing body, but are covered with the sealing body. Stand-off portions of the suspending leads are not formed in resin molding. When cutting the suspending leads, corner portions of the back surface of the sealing body are supported by a flat portion of a holder portion in a cutting die having an area wider than a cutting allowance of the suspending leads, whereby chipping of the resin is prevented.

  • Patent number: 8120174
    Abstract: The present invention provides a technique capable of suppressing variations in the height of each solder ball where an NSMD is used as a structure for each land. Vias that extend through a wiring board are provided. Lands are formed at the back surface of the wiring board so as to be coupled directly to the vias respectively. The lands are respectively formed so as to be internally included in openings defined in a solder resist. Half balls are mounted over the lands respectively. Namely, the present invention has a feature in that the configuration of coupling between each of the lands and its corresponding via both formed at the back surface of the wiring board is taken as a land on via structure and a configuration form of each land is taken as an NSMD.
