  • Patent number: 6812410
    Abstract: A first metal film 14 made of a Cu plated film is formed on a radiation substrate 13A made of Al, and an island 15 exposed from a back surface of a semiconductor device 10 is adhered thereto. At that time, the back surface of the semiconductor device 10 is brought into contact with contact areas, and a first opening portion OP is opened larger than an arranging area of the semiconductor device 10. Accordingly, the cleaning can be executed via the first opening portion OP exposed from peripheries of the semiconductor device 10. In addition, the heat generated from semiconductor elements 16 can be radiated excellently from the island 15 via a second supporting member 13A.

  • Publication number: 20040068703
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a circuit device (SIP or ISB) in which a plurality of circuit elements are covered with and integrally supported by an insulating resin. A user terminal is connected with an ISB server and an ISB mounting factory through a communication network. Specifications to be satisfied by an ISB circuit device desired by a user, such as an external size and terminal information of the ISB and circuit diagram CAD data, for example, are input through the user terminal and transmitted to the ISB server. The ISB server in turn transmits information concerning the due date and cost of the ISB circuit device and also a reliability evaluation result to the user terminal. The ISB server also generates mask data for manufacturing the ISB circuit device based on the input specifications, and transmits the mask data to the ISB mounting factory.

  • Publication number: 20040066402
    Abstract: A system for providing a circuit device having no support substrate and which covers and supports a circuit element by an insulating resin. A device manufacturer and a part manufacturer are connected to an ISB server via the Internet. The user (device manufacturer) inputs conditions to be satisfied by a desired ISB through a user terminal and transmits these specifications to the ISB server via the Internet. The ISB server accumulatively stores the received specifications and provides manufacturing data, for example, mask data and part arrangement data for manufacturing an ISB based on the received specifications, to an ISB mounting factory. The ISB mounting factory manufactures an ISB based on the supplied manufacturing data and provides the ISB to the user. A part manufacturer supplies, via the Internet, data of a part which can be used in an ISB and registers the part data in a database.

  • Patent number: 6646331
    Abstract: A heat radiation electrode (15) is exposed from the back surface of an insulating resin (13), and a metal plate (23) is affixed to this heat radiation electrode (15). The back surface of this metal plate (23) and the back surface of a flexible sheet become substantially within a same plane, so that it is readily affixed to a second supporting member (24). In addition, the top surface of the heat radiation electrode (15) is made protrusive beyond the top surfaces of the pads (14) to reduce the distance between the semiconductor chip (16) and the heat radiation electrode (15). Accordingly, the heat generated by the semiconductor chip can be efficiently dissipated via the heat radiation electrode (15), the metal plate (23) and the second supporting member (24).
