  • Patent number: 7135353
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for stacking semiconductor chips, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor package using the same and a semiconductor package manufactured thereby. The apparatus for stacking semiconductor chips may comprise two tables for supporting wafers, a picker for picking up semiconductor chips and a picker transfer unit for moving the picker vertically and horizontally. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor package using the same may allow easy and rapid stacking of semiconductor chips, thereby improving the productivity of semiconductor package manufacture. Further, a semiconductor chip having a relatively thick film is attached onto another semiconductor chip having a relatively thin film. The thicker semiconductor chip may protect the thinner semiconductor chip from faults such as chipping or warpage which may occur due to external shocks such as that caused by a picker, thereby improving the reliability of the package.

  • Publication number: 20060105477
    Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, a device for manufacturing a wafer-level package includes a wafer sawing unit, a sorting unit, a pickup unit, and a placing unit. The wafer sawing unit cuts a wafer into wafer-level packages. The sorting unit performs a sorting process on the wafer-level packages to judge whether each of the wafer-level packages is normal or not. The pickup unit picks up the normal wafer-level packages. The placing unit stores the normal wafer-level packages in a storage case. The sawing process, the sorting process, and the placing process for the wafer-level package can be automatically performed within one device, thus a processing time reduction, a processing accuracy increase, and manpower reduction are achieved compared with the case where the processes are performed manually.
