  • Patent number: 7632711
    Abstract: When an integrated circuit is formed in a semiconductor wafer, the integrated circuit is formed only in the central part of each chip region. In a case where packaging other than a chip size package is made, only the central part in which the integrated circuit is formed is cut from the wafer. In a case where a chip size package is made, the chip region is cut from the wafer after forming the redistribution wiring and external terminals and so forth over the whole of the chip region. As a result, the design of the integrated circuit and part of the fabrication process thereof can be shared by a chip which is mounted in a chip size package and a chip which is mounted in another type of package.
