  • Patent number: 8803303
    Abstract: In a QFP with a chip-stacked structure in which a lower surface of a die pad is exposed from a lower surface of a sealing member, a semiconductor chip having a BCB film, which is made of a polymeric material containing at least benzocyclobutene in its backbone as an organic monomer and formed on its surface, is mounted at a position (second stage) that is away from the die pad. As a result, even when moisture invades through the interface between the die pad and the sealing member, it is possible to prolong the time required for the moisture to reach the semiconductor chip, and subsequently to make moisture absorption defect less likely to occur.

  • Patent number: 8518744
    Abstract: The reliability of the semiconductor device which has the structure which stores a plurality of semiconductor chips with which plane sizes differ in the same sealing body in the state where they are accumulated via the insulating film which has adhesive property is improved. In the semiconductor device which has the structure which stores a plurality of semiconductor chips with which plane sizes differ in the same sealing body in the state where they are accumulated via DAF, thickness of DAF of the back surface of the uppermost semiconductor chip with which the control circuit was formed was made thicker than each of DAF of the back surface of the lower layer semiconductor chip with which the memory circuit was formed. Hereby, the defect that the bonding wire which connects the uppermost semiconductor chip and a wiring substrate contacts the main surface corner part of a lower layer semiconductor chip can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 7804176
    Abstract: This invention is to provide a nonvolatile memory device that enhances a size reduction and mass productivity while ensuring reliability and signal transmission performance. A nonvolatile memory chip having a first side formed with no pads and a second side formed with pads is mounted on a mounting substrate. A control chip for controlling the nonvolatile memory chip is mounted on the nonvolatile memory chip. The control chip has a first pad row corresponding to the pads of the nonvolatile memory chip. The first pad row is mounted adjacent to the first side of the nonvolatile memory chip. The first pad row of the control chip and a first electrode row formed on the mounting substrate are connected via a first wire group. The pads of the nonvolatile memory chip and a second electrode row formed on the mounting substrate are connected via a second wire group. The first electrode row and the second electrode row are connected through wirings formed in the mounting substrate.
