  • Patent number: 8975192
    Abstract: A method is provided for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a heat-resistant resin film with flip-chip connection structure using a solder bump or a gold bump and an epoxy resin compound laminated thereon, in which adhesiveness is improved particularly after exposure to high temperature and high humidity environments for a long period of time, thereby enhancing the reliability of the semiconductor device. The method, in accordance with the present invention, for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a heat-resistant resin film formed on a semiconductor element and an epoxy resin compound layer laminated thereon, comprises the steps of carrying out a plasma treatment on a surface of the heat-resistant resin film on which the epoxy resin compound layer is laminated using a nitrogen atom-containing gas containing at least one of nitrogen, ammonia, and hydrazine.

  • Patent number: 8148204
    Abstract: A circuit connection structure that exhibits excellent adhesiveness between a heat resistant resin film and a circuit adhesive member, even under high temperature and high humidity, is provided by introducing a chemically stable functional group into the heat resistant resin film by additional surface treatment to improve adhesiveness. In a circuit connection structure, a semiconductor substrate and a circuit member are adhered by a circuit adhesive member sandwiched therewith. First circuit electrode on the semiconductor substrate and second circuit electrode on the circuit member are connected electrically by conductive particles in the circuit adhesive member. A surface modification is given to the semiconductor substrate by plasma treatment using gas containing nitrogen, ammonia and the like. Therefore, the heat resistant resin film on the semiconductor substrate and the circuit adhesive member are firmly adhered for a long period of time even under high temperature and high humidity.
