  • Patent number: 8466545
    Abstract: A stackable semiconductor package includes a substrate with a first side surface that includes circuit patterns. Each circuit pattern includes a pad. A semiconductor die is electrically coupled to the circuit patterns. An encapsulant covers the semiconductor die and the first side surface of the substrate inward of the pads. A layer of a solder is fused to each of the pads. A lateral distance between immediately adjacent pads is selected to be greater than a lateral distance between sidewalls of the encapsulant and immediately adjacent pads, and a height of the solder layers relative to the first side surface is selected to be less than a height of the sidewalls of the encapsulant, so that misalignment of a semiconductor package stacked on the solder layers/pads is self-correcting when juxtaposed ones of the solder layers and respective solder balls of the second semiconductor package are reflowed and fused together.

  • Patent number: 6021563
    Abstract: A method for marking poor quality printed circuit board units of a printed circuit board strip for ball grid array semiconductor packages wherein at least one degradation-indicating hole is at least partially formed in a poor quality printed circuit board unit of the strip at a region defined between an outer edge of the resin seal molding region of the unit and a cutting line formed on the printed circuit board strip to separate the unit from the strip. Even when a plurality of printed circuit board strips are packed in a vacuum under the condition in which they are stacked, there is no phenomenon that those strips in the pack are permanently deformed, for example, permanently bent. Also, there is no phenomenon that melt resin is leaked from the mold, thereby causing it to be bled out onto the upper surface of the printed circuit board strip. Since no paint is used to mark poor quality printed circuit board units, there is no problem associated with the use of the paint such as a contamination.

  • Patent number: 5977624
    Abstract: A chip size semiconductor package with a light, thin, simple and compact structure having a reduced size of its semiconductor chip while having an increased number of pins and without degrading its functions. For the package, it is possible to use either the semiconductor chip having bond pads arranged on end portions of the chip or the semiconductor chip having bond pads arranged on the central portion of the chip. In either case, input/output terminals of the package are arranged in the form of an area array. Accordingly, when the package is mounted on an electronic appliance, its mounting area can be minimized, thereby achieving a compactness of the final product.

  • Patent number: 5905633
    Abstract: A ball grid array semiconductor package includes a semiconductor chip mounted to the top side of a printed circuit board (PCB), having a copper circuit pattern at a position outside a chip mounting zone. A plurality of bond wires electrically connect the chip to the copper circuit pattern. A rectangular ring-shaped metal heat spreader is attached to the PCB surrounding the chip, with the outer periphery of the ring substantially coextensive with the outer periphery of the PCB. A molding compound is provided in a zone inside the heat spreader thus protecting the chip and wires from atmosphere, while the molding compound extends to a heat spreader portion, leaving other portions of the heat spreader exposed to atmosphere. A plurality of solder balls are included on the bottom side of the PCB and are used as signal input and output terminals of the package. The BGA package easily dissipates heat during the operation of the package, improving the operational reliability of the package.
