Patent number: 11056410Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor package and a semiconductor package in which positional alignment between a wafer and a substrate until the wafer is mounted and packaged on the substrate is achieved accurately. A wafer is mounted on a package substrate by using first alignment marks and D-cuts as benchmarks, and then a mold resin layer is formed on the wafer in a state in which the first alignment mark is exposed. A part of the mold resin layer is removed by using the D-cuts exposed from the mold resin layer as benchmarks, so that the first alignment marks can be visually recognized. A second alignment marks are formed on the mold resin layer by using the first alignment marks as benchmarks. A Cu redistribution layer to be conducted to a pad portion is formed on a mold resin layer by using the second alignment marks as benchmarks.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Shiro Hara, Sommawan Khumpuang, Fumito Imura

Patent number: 10304675Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing system has a series of steps, from manufacturing of a semiconductor on a wafer until packaging, that can be easily linked. A semiconductor chip manufacturing device manufactures a semiconductor chip, and a semiconductor packaging device packages the semiconductor chip by attaching the semiconductor chip to a package substrate which is larger than the wafer. The semiconductor chip manufacturing device includes a PLAD system for loading the wafer into and out of the semiconductor chip manufacturing device through a shuttle which is capable of housing the wafer. The semiconductor packaging device includes a PLAD system capable of loading the package substrate into and out of the semiconductor packaging device through a shuttle which is capable of housing the package substrate. The shuttles have container bodies of a same shape.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2015Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Michihiro Inoue, Shiro Hara, Fumito Imura, Arami Saruwatari, Sommawan Khumpuang

Patent number: 10163819Abstract: A method for manufacturing a surface-mount type package whose face parallel with the semiconductor chip surface has a circular cross-section, is characterized by including at least the following steps in this order: a first step in which a semiconductor chip is bonded onto a circular support substrate; a second step in which the semiconductor chip is sealed with resin; a third step in which the resin covering the pads of the semiconductor chip is removed; a fourth step in which a rewiring layer is formed; and a fifth step in which bumps are formed. The method can provide a surface-mount type package for semiconductor chips which is resistant to failures caused by thermal stress.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Shiro Hara, Sommawan Khumpuang, Fumito Imura, Michihiro Inoue, Arami Saruwatari
