  • Patent number: 8117742
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor integrated circuit device uses a mold which is provided with a plurality of air vents and movable pins which are formed such that the movable pins include grooves in the distal ends thereof which project into the air vents. By clamping the mold in a state such that the distal ends of the movable pins are pushed against a multi-cavity board at the time of clamping the mold, resin can be filled while leaking air inside the cavity through the grooves formed in the distal ends of the movable pins by setting the depths of the respective air vents to a fixed value irrespective of the irregularities in thickness of the multi-cavity boards. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent insufficient filling of resin in the cavity, the leaking of resin or defective welding, whereby the yield rate of products can be enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7633147
    Abstract: A semiconductor unit constituting a memory device has a memory chip, a package substrate having three wiring layers. Power-supply surfaces (VDD surface) and (GND surface) are wired on the package substrate while an intra-package DQ bus is wired on an intermediate layer between both of the power-supply surfaces. The memory device has two DQ pins every one intra-package DQ bus. The intra-package DQ bus is connected to a signal terminal pad of the memory chip through a via hole. In view of the two DW pins, a via hole for connecting the intra-package DQ bus with the signal terminal pad constitutes a branch wire.
