Abstract: An apparatus for cooling a semiconductor package and preventing heat concentration at the central part of a heat sink includes a heat sink for cooling mounted on a semiconductor package and a fan installed over the heat sink. The heat sink includes a base plate, a support bar installed over the base plate for supporting the fan, a plurality of parallel fins, whose lengths decrease in size from a peripheral part to a central part of the heat sink. The parallel fins extend from the base plate. The heat sink further includes air guide plates for guiding air flow in the heat sink to the central part thereof.

Abstract: An underfill system for filling gaps between semiconductor chips and substrates is provided. The underfill system comprises a blower for blowing air, an air duct coupled to the blower, the air duct comprising a main duct coupled to the blower and a plurality of sub-ducts each having an outlet being connected to the main duct and an inlet to be located along one side of the semiconductor chip. A filling material from a dispenser fills the gaps by suction due to the pressure difference between the main duct and the sub-duct. Thus, the present invention shortens the filling time of the underfill process and prevents voids or air bubbles of the filling material from forming within the gap.

Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor memory module including semiconductor devices using solder balls as outer connection terminals, which reduces the deterioration of solder joint reliability (SJR) due to the difference in the thermal expansion coefficients of the module components. The memory module includes a module board, an upper heat sink, a lower heat sink and a linking means. The linking means is formed to have a structure that makes it possible to absorb contraction and expansion within the semiconductor module due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of the upper heat sink, the lower heat sink and the module board.

Abstract: The present invention provides a vertical semiconductor device package comprising a semiconductor chip, a heat spreader, a printed circuit board(PCB), a plurality of metal wires, and an encapsulating material. The semiconductor chip is directly attached to the heat spreader, and/or the heat spreader is directly attached to the metal layers in the PCB, which has multiple ground metal layers. A package module has a plurality of the vertical semiconductor device packages, which are vertically mounted on a second circuit board, and a heat sink, which is attached to each heat spreader. The present invention has advantages in that it enhances the heat dissipation properties and the electrical characteristics of the packages.

Abstract: A mold for encapsulating semiconductor device packages provides improved reliability by reducing air traps in the encapsulant. The mold has an upper mold die and a lower mold die which together form a cavity where the package is encapsulated by the molding compound. Air traps are reduced by equipping the lower mold die with projections formed along edges of the cavity extending in the direction of the molding compound flow. The mold allows a reduction of the formation air traps around or at the positions where the lead frame and chip are located so that the reliability of the resulting package is improved.
