  • Publication number: 20140131848
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for forming a package substrate includes selectively removing portions of a lead frame to form cavities and filling the cavities with a resin layer to define an adhesion pad and a land structure. Top portions of the lead frame are selectively removed to isolate the adhesion pad and the land structure from each other, to expose a top surface of the resin layer, and to form at least one land having a part with a relatively greater size than the size of a respective lower part.

  • Patent number: 7859107
    Abstract: A solder attach film includes a first cover film, a flux layer, a solder layer, and a second cover film, and it can be treated or kept in a roll shape. A solder ball forming method using the solder attach film includes preparing a semiconductor package or a semiconductor die, adhering the solder attach film, gridding, and reflowing. In the solder attach film adhering operation, the first cover film and the second cover film are removed, and the flux layer is adhered to electrically conductive pads of the semiconductor package or the semiconductor die. Subsequently, in the reflowing operation, the flux layer is volatilized and removed, and the solder layer is fused and fixed to the electrically conductive pads, so that solder balls are formed.

  • Patent number: 7170183
    Abstract: Disclosed are a wafer level stacked package and its manufacturing method. As one example, in such a wafer level stacked package, a first semiconductor die is electrically connected to an upper surface of a substrate and a second semiconductor die is electrically connected to a lower surface of the substrate. That is, with respect to one substrate, semiconductor dies can be stacked on upper and lower surfaces of the substrate. Also, underfill is formed between the respective semiconductor dies and the substrate, thereby enhancing bonding forces between the respective semiconductor dies and the substrate. In addition to stacking the semiconductor dies, packages can be stacked with each other. That is, it is possible to stack a plurality of completed wafer level packages with each other in an up-and-down direction.

  • Patent number: 7145251
    Abstract: The surface of a solder ball and a conductive wire for a semiconductor package are coated with a predetermined colorant. Various colorants may be used according to the diameter and metal composition of the solder ball and the conductive wire. The colorant is formed by mixing organic compound and dye of a predetermined color. Examples of organic compounds excellent in physicochemical bonding with metal include benzotriazole, alkylimidazole and benzimidazole. The solder ball is fabricated by coating an organic compound of a predetermined color on the surface of a typical solder ball. The conductive wire is fabricated by coating an organic compound of a predetermined color on a general conductive wire between heat process and winding. Moreover, the solder ball is evaporated in a reflowing step after bumped via flux and the conductive wire is evaporated in a wire bonding step so that the solder ball and the conductive wire return to their unique colors.
