  • Publication number: 20110001225
    Abstract: A method includes: mounting a plurality of semiconductor elements on a substrate having wirings; connecting electrically electrodes of the semiconductor elements and the wirings; sealing the semiconductor elements with a resin, which is carried out by bringing a thermal conductor having a concavity and the substrate to be in contact with each other so that the semiconductor elements are positioned within the concavity and by filling the concavity with the resin; and separating respective semiconductor elements 1. In the resin-sealing step, in a state where the thermal conductor is arranged with its concavity facing up and the concavity of the thermal conductor is filled with a liquid resin, the semiconductor elements are clipped in the liquid resin in the concavity and the liquid resin is solidified.

  • Publication number: 20070072405
    Abstract: There is provided a semiconductor device in which the junction strength of land portions and external terminals is increased, the disconnection of the external terminal is surely prevented, and the connection reliability is ensured over an extended period of time. An insulating resin layer which insulates metal wires from one another is formed on a semiconductor element, an end portion of the metal wire is connected to an electrode on the semiconductor element, the other end portion of the metal wire is connected to an external terminal to form a land, the entire surface of the semiconductor element except the connecting portions of the lands is covered with a surface-layer resin layer, and a projection is provided on the top surface of a land portion of at least one of the lands. Because of this, after their soldering, the external terminal holds the perimeter of the projection on the land portion, so that the external terminal can be surely connected to the land portion.
