  • Patent number: 8076771
    Abstract: In order to reduce a thermal stress applied by a metal cap to a semiconductor chip: a semiconductor chip (2) is bonded to a flat portion (11) of a metal cap (1); side wall portions of the metal cap (1) serve as external connection terminals (13); and a slit (7) is formed in the metal cap (1) so as to cross the semiconductor chip (2), so a bonding region between the semiconductor chip (2) and the metal cap (1) is divided into small bonding regions to reduce thermal stresses applied to the respective bonding regions. Therefore, peeling can be prevented in respective bonding regions, whereby a small-size semiconductor device in which the semiconductor chip is bonded to the metal cap with improved bonding reliability is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6911734
    Abstract: A high-frequency signal from a tape-shaped line section having a surface layer signal lead and surface layer GND lead disposed on both sides thereof is directly inputted to a semiconductor chip via a signal surface layer wiring of a package substrate and through solder bump electrodes. Alternatively, a high-frequency signal from the semiconductor chip is outputted to the outside via the tape-shaped line section in reverse. Owing to the transmission of the high-frequency signal by only a microstrip line at the whole surface layer of the package substrate, the high-frequency signal can be transmitted by only the microstrip line at the surface layer without through vias or the like. Accordingly, the high-frequency signal can be transmitted without a loss in frequency characteristic, and a high-quality high-frequency signal can be transmitted with a reduction in loss at high-frequency transmission.

  • Patent number: 6433412
    Abstract: A central portion of a main face of a package substrate 2 is mounted with a memory chip 1 using face down bonding by a flip chip bonding system. Further, a plurality of chip condensers 7 are mounted at vicinities of the memory chip 1. A clearance between a main face (lower face) of the memory chip 1 and a main face of the package substrate 2 is filled with underfill resin (seal resin) 10 constituting a seal member for achieving protection of connecting portions and for relaxation of thermal stress. An outer edge of the underfill resin 10 is extended to an outer side of the memory chip 1 and covers entire faces of the chip condensers 7 mounted at vicinities of the memory chip 1.

  • Patent number: 6380621
    Abstract: An electrically reliable heat radiating package provided with ball grid array (BGA) structure and a method of manufacturing the package are disclosed. In the concrete, a semiconductor chip is mounted on one surface of a ceramic wiring board via a first soldered bump electrode and resin is filled in a gap area between the one surface of the wiring board and the principal surface of the semiconductor chip. A heat diffusing plate formed in larger plane size than that of the semiconductor chip by aluminum nitride is arranged on the rear surface opposite to the principal surface of the semiconductor chip and soldered. Further, a radiating fin made of aluminum is provided on the heat diffusing plate and stuck via silicone rubber in which thermally conductive filler is included.
