  • Patent number: 6339337
    Abstract: An infrared ray test for a semiconductor chip is conducted by irradiating infrared ray onto a bottom surface of a semiconductor chip, receiving the infrared ray reflected from a bonding pad and displaying the image of the bonding pad on a monitor. The image obtained from the infrared ray has information whether the bonding pad itself or a portion of the silicon substrate underlying the bonding pad has a defect or whether or not there is a deviation of the bonding pad with respect to the bump.

  • Patent number: 6114754
    Abstract: An area TAB film has a plurality of first lead lines and a plurality of second lead lines on a base film. Each of first lead lines will be electrically connected to each of peripheral electrode pads while each of second lead lines will be electrically connected to each of inner electrode pads when the chip will be mounted on the TAB film. In this TAB film, the first and the second lead lines have a staggered arrangement from each other and are extended in opposite directions. Practically, the distance or the gap between the first lead lines is wider than that of conventional TAB film. Consequently, the TAB film can cope with an increase of the number of pads with a package size kept unchanged and serves to obtain a low cost package as compared with the conventional TAB film.

  • Patent number: 5897337
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor chip and a carrier film which includes an insulating film and wiring patterns formed on one of main surfaces of the insulating film, an adhesive layer is formed on a surface of a semiconductor wafer having a number of integrated circuits. Each of the integrated circuits has electrode pads for external connection on the foregoing surface of the semiconductor wafer. Subsequently, openings are formed at regions of the adhesive layer corresponding to the electrode pads, and then, the semiconductor wafer is cut per integrated circuit so as to obtain the semiconductor chips. Thereafter, the electrode pads of the semiconductor chip and the wiring patterns of the carrier film are connected to each other through the corresponding openings of the adhesive layer, respectively. Then, the semiconductor chip and the carrier film are bonded together via the adhesive layer interposed therebetween.

  • Patent number: RE39603
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes defining chip sections on a wafer by scribe lines with each chip section having chip electrodes formed thereon. The wafer is covered with a passivating film except for on the chip electrodes. Aluminum interconnection layers are provided such that each layer is connected to the chip electrode at one end thereof and the other end of the layer is extended towards the central portion of the chip section. A cover coating film is applied on the passivating film and the layers. A number of apertures are formed in the coating film passing therethrough, and bump electrodes are formed at the position corresponding to the apertures. The chip sections are then separated from each other along the scribe lines into semiconductor devices.
