  • Patent number: 8525306
    Abstract: To suppress a short circuit between neighboring wires which is caused when the loop of a wire is formed into multiple stages in a semiconductor device in which a wiring board and one semiconductor chip mounted over a main surface thereof are electrically coupled with the wire. In a semiconductor device in which a chip is mounted on an upper surface of a wiring board and a bonding lead of the wiring board and a bonding pad of the chip are electrically coupled with wires, a short circuit between the neighboring wires is suppressed by making larger the diameter of the longest wire arranged in a position closest to a corner part of the chip than the diameter of the other wires.

  • Patent number: 8481367
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a circuit device in which a circuit element is resin-sealed with sealing resins formed integrally with each other. In the present invention, a resin sheet and a circuit board are housed in a cavity of a mold, and thereafter a first sealing resin formed of a tablet in melted form is injected into the cavity. At the time of injecting the first sealing resin, a second sealing resin formed of the resin sheet in melted form is not yet cured and is maintained in liquid form. Accordingly, the injected first sealing resin and the second sealing resin are mixed at the boundary therebetween, preventing the generation of a gap in the boundary portion and therefore preventing the deterioration of the moisture resistance and withstand voltage at the boundary portion.
