Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device having a multi-layered wiring structure that includes a conductor layer to be electrically connected to a packaging substrate, with the multi-layered wiring structure being provided on a circuit formation surface of a semiconductor chip. Ball-like terminals are formed, disposed in a grid array on the surface of the multi-layered wiring structure on the packaging substrate side. The multi-layered wiring structure is formed to include a buffer layer for relieving a thermal stress provided between the semiconductor chip and the packaging substrate, due to the packaging procedure. In the semiconductor device formed, the wiring distance is shorter than that of a conventional semiconductor device, so that an inductance component becomes smaller, to thereby increase signal speed.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device includes the steps of constructing a plurality of lead frames having leads which each include an inner portion and an outer portion and electrically connecting a semiconductor chip to the inner portions of the leads of each frame. The lead frames are then stacked one above each other to form a vertical stack and plates are then inserted between each of the lead frames with each plate having an opening in the center whereby a central cavity is formed in the stack. The stack is then placed between a top mold member and a bottom mold member and a resin is injected into the central cavity whereupon the resin is cured to form a single resin package encapsulating the semiconductor chips. The resin package is then released from the mold members.
