  • Patent number: 8501542
    Abstract: A dual-face package has an LSI chip sealed with a mold resin, and electrodes for external connections on both of the front face and the back face. The LSI chip is bonded onto the die pad of a leadframe whose outer lead portions are exposed as back-face electrodes at at least the back face. The LSI chip and a plurality of inner lead portions of the leadframe are connected by wiring. At least some of the plurality of inner lead portions have front-face electrodes integrally formed by working a portion of the leadframe. Head faces of the front-face electrodes, or bump electrodes connected to the respective head faces of the front-face electrodes serve as electrodes for external connections to another substrate, element, or the like.

  • Patent number: 6369440
    Abstract: A semiconductor apparatus substrate according to the present invention has a substrate, a piece-substrate that has been punched out of the substrate and pushed back to the original position, an opening unit formed in a region of the substrate that substantially surrounds the piece-substrate, and a support unit installed inside the opening unit. As a result of this configuration, in transporting the semiconductor apparatus substrate after the piece-substrate has been pushed back, the piece-substrate is prevented from falling off the semiconductor apparatus substrate.
