  • Patent number: 7741725
    Abstract: With a semiconductor apparatus package of example embodiments of the technology disclosed herein and a method of producing the semiconductor apparatus package, the semiconductor apparatus package includes a circuit board and a semiconductor device sealed with sealing resin. The circuit board has a groove in a section of a surface of the circuit board. The section is outside of the resin sealing section, and the surface includes the resin sealing section. The groove is at least partially filled with sealing resin having seeped from a resin sealing section. Thus, in the semiconductor apparatus package including the circuit board, which is exposed from the resin sealing section, and the semiconductor device sealed on the circuit board with the sealing resin, the spread of a thin resin film onto that exposed circuit board resulting from seepage of resin sealing the semiconductor device is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20070035036
    Abstract: The semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a semiconductor chip and a wiring substrate on which a wiring pattern is formed. The wiring pattern includes wire bond terminals being electrically connected, via wires, with pads provided on the semiconductor chip. The wire bond terminals are disposed in a plurality of columns so as to face the pads. When the columns are regarded as the first column to the third column so that the first column is the closest to the pads, the ratio of a pitch between the wire bond terminals belonging to the first column, a pitch between the wire bond terminals belonging to the second column, and a pitch between the wire bond terminals belonging to the third column is 1:2:2. This allows for efficient wiring between the wire bond terminals in a case where wiring with electrolytic plating is impossible. As a result, it is possible to provide a wiring substrate with stable qualities at lower cost.
