  • Patent number: 6927489
    Abstract: In a small semiconductor device having external terminals on a semiconductor element and a semiconductor module mounted with the small semiconductor device, disconnection of the external terminals is prevented when a temperature change occurs under the conditions that the semiconductor device is mounted on a printed circuit board. To achieve this a projection is formed on a land which is an external terminal bonding area of the semiconductor device, and a protruded portion of the projection is bonded to the external terminal. An intervening portion of a protective film made of resin material is formed between the lands and semiconductor element.

  • Patent number: 6919622
    Abstract: As the semiconductor chip is large-sized, highly integrated and speeded up, it becomes difficult to pack the semiconductor chip together with leads in a package. In view of this difficulty, there has been adopted the package structure called the “Lead-On-Chip” or “Chip-On-Lead” structure in which the semiconductor and the leads are stacked and packed. In the package of this structure, according to the present invention, the gap between the leading end portions of the inner leads and the semiconductor chip is made wider than that between the inner lead portions except the leading end portions and the semiconductor chip thereby to reduce the stray capacity, to improve the signal transmission rate and to reduce the electrical noises.

  • Patent number: 6844219
    Abstract: A semiconductor device which can improve the connection reliability of solder bumps and productivity in manufacturing. Insulating tape having wiring patterns on its surface is bonded to a lead frame. Semiconductor elements are loaded and circuit formed surfaces and sides of the semiconductor elements are sealed with sealing resin. After arrangements of individual semiconductor devices are formed, the lead frame is separated into individual metal plates to form individual semiconductor devices. Such simultaneous production of a plurality of semiconductor devices enhances productivity, and improves flatness of the insulating tape, whereby the connection reliability of solder bumps is improved.
