  • Publication number: 20120007224
    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.

  • Patent number: 8053875
    Abstract: The quality of a non-leaded semiconductor device is to be improved. The semiconductor device comprises a sealing body for sealing a semiconductor chip with resin, a tab disposed in the interior of the sealing body, suspension leads for supporting the tab, plural leads having respective to-be-connected surfaces exposed to outer edge portions of a back surface of the sealing body, and plural wires for connecting pads formed on the semiconductor chip and the leads with each other. End portions of the suspending leads positioned in an outer periphery portion of the sealing body are not exposed to the back surface of the sealing body, but are covered with the sealing body. Therefore, stand-off portions of the suspending leads are not formed in resin molding.

    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.

  • Patent number: 7732910
    Abstract: In a lead frame, through holes are formed outside suspending leads and trenches are formed on a back surface along the suspending leads so as to communicate with the through holes. When sealing resin is injected into cavities of a resin molding die, air enters the through holes through air vents and flows out from the through holes by a resin injection pressure in the trenches, making it easier for the sealing resin to enter the through holes. Since the sealing resin leaking to the air vents can be injected into the through holes, it is possible to enhance the bonding force between the sealing resin after curing and the lead frame in the vicinity of the air vents and effect release of the resin molding die, while allowing the sealing resin leaking to the air vents to remain on the lead frame side without remaining within the air vents.

  • Patent number: 7709937
    Abstract: A semiconductor device which includes: a semiconductor chip with plural pads; a tab connected with the semiconductor chip; bus bars which are located outside of the semiconductor chip and connected with the tab; a sealing body which resin-seals the semiconductor chip; plural leads arranged in a line around the semiconductor chip; plural first wires which connect pads of the semiconductor chip and the leads; and plural second wires which connect specific pads of the semiconductor chip and the bus bars. Since the sealing body has a continuous portion which continues from a side surface of the semiconductor chip to its back surface to a side surface of the tab, the degree of adhesion among the semiconductor chip, the tab and the sealing body is increased. This prevents peeling between the tab and the sealing body during a high-temperature process and thus improves the quality of the semiconductor device (QFN).
