Abstract: A compression resin sealing apparatus includes cooling means (64, 104) for each of an upper die (6) and a lower die (10). A gate nozzle (15) including cooling means (154a) is provided in the upper die (6). A cavity (106) for mounting a single substrate is provided in the lower die (10). In this apparatus, a liquid thermosetting resin material (R) in a required amount is supplied into the cavity (106) through the gate nozzle (15). Then, a substrate is supplied between the upper die (6) and the lower die (10), and the upper die (6) and the lower die (10) are clamped to each other. As a result, an electronic component on the substrate is immersed in the liquid thermosetting resin material (R) in the cavity (106). That is, compression resin molding is performed. Here, a temperature of the liquid thermosetting resin material (R) is controlled by the gate nozzle (15) and the cooling means (154a, 64, 104).

Abstract: A resin mold material includes one-dimensional communicating holes extending substantially linearly from a mold surface and having diameters from 1 nm to less than 10 ?m; a surface layer including the mold surface and the one-dimensional communicating holes; a support layer covering a back of the surface layer; and three-dimensional communicating holes communicating with the one-dimensional communicating holes in the support layer and having diameters larger than those of the one-dimensional communicating holes. Accordingly, a liquid resin is unlikely to enter the one-dimensional communicating holes, thereby reducing a contact area of the mold surface and the liquid resin, i.e., the mold surface is repellant to the liquid resin. Gas in a mold cavity bounded by the mold surface is discharged through the one-dimensional and three-dimensional communicating holes sequentially. Consequently, a release property of a molded product from the mold surface is improved and generation of voids is suppressed.

Abstract: A mold for resin-seal-molding an electronic component is constituted by a first mold and a second mold. A plurality of mold structure units are arranged as stacked, wherein a substrate supplying portion for supplying a single before-resin-seal-molding substrate having an electronic component mounted thereon is provided at a mold face (PL) of the molds. Further, a clamp mechanism for simultaneously applying clamping pressure to each of the plurality of mold structure units arranged as stacked. With this structure, the overall structure of the mold for resin-seal-molding an electronic component mounted on the substrate can be simplified. Additionally, resin flash formation on the substrate surface due to variation in the thicknesses of the substrates when resin-seal-molding the electronic component is prevented.

Abstract: A resin mold material includes a number of one-dimensional communicating holes extending substantially linearly from a mold surface toward inside and having diameter from 1 nm order to 100 nm order; a surface layer including the mold surface and the one-dimensional communicating holes; a support layer covering a back of the surface, layer; and a number of three-dimensional communicating holes provided to communicate to the one-dimensional communicating holes in the support layer and having 1 &mgr;m order diameter. Accordingly, a liquid resin is unlikely to enter the one-dimensional communicating holes, thereby reducing contact area of the mold surface and the liquid resin, i.e., the mold surface being repellant to the liquid resin. Gas in a cavity is discharged through the one-dimensional and three-dimensional communicating holes sequentially. Consequently, release property of a molded product from the mold surface is improved and generation of voids is suppressed.

Abstract: A method of processing a leadframe involves steps of transporting a leadframe to load it into a lead processing unit including plural sets of processing presses; adjusting a press pitch of the processing presses according to a work pitch of workpieces on the leadframe by rotating a nut member that is coupled to at least one of the processing presses and engaged on a non-rotating screw shaft extending in the transport direction of the leadframe, so that the nut member moves along the screw shaft and the respective processing press coupled thereto moves with the nut member; and performing a predetermined lead processing on the leadframe using the processing presses after the step of adjusting the press pitch.

Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for molding resin to seal electronic parts are adapted to use molding units to seal with molded resin materials electronic parts that are mounted on lead frames. Additional molding units are detachably mounted with respect to an already provided first molding unit in the molding apparatus, so that the number of the molding units can be arbitrarily adjusted. In this manner, the method and apparatus can be easily reconfigured or rearranged to be adapted to mass production or small production runs of the same or different types of molded parts. By simultaneously carrying out various process steps, the overall process time is reduced.
