  • Patent number: 7015069
    Abstract: The back side of a strip substrate with plural semiconductor chips mounted thereon is vacuum-chucked to a lower mold half of a mold, and in this state the plural semiconductor chips are sealed with resin simultaneously to form a seal member. Thereafter, the strip substrate and the seal member are released from the mold and are cut into plural semiconductor devices. The semiconductor devices thus obtained are improved in their mounting reliability.

  • Patent number: 6919622
    Abstract: As the semiconductor chip is large-sized, highly integrated and speeded up, it becomes difficult to pack the semiconductor chip together with leads in a package. In view of this difficulty, there has been adopted the package structure called the “Lead-On-Chip” or “Chip-On-Lead” structure in which the semiconductor and the leads are stacked and packed. In the package of this structure, according to the present invention, the gap between the leading end portions of the inner leads and the semiconductor chip is made wider than that between the inner lead portions except the leading end portions and the semiconductor chip thereby to reduce the stray capacity, to improve the signal transmission rate and to reduce the electrical noises.

  • Patent number: 6887739
    Abstract: In a method of forming a ball grid array type semiconductor package, a semiconductor chip is mounted through an adhesive material on a surface of a flexible film substrate. Plural bump electrodes are arranged in an array on the opposite side of said substrate and the semiconductor chip is sealed by a resin. In this regard, an insulation layer is formed to cover an electric conductor layer pattern formed on the surface of the substrate, and the semiconductor chip is mounted through an adhesive material on the insulation layer. The insulation layer is divided into a plural number of parts that are mutually discontinuous in the area under the semiconductor chip. By this divided insulation layer, a short circuit between the semiconductor chip and the electric conductor layer pattern is prevented and a deformation of the substrate that comprises the flexible films is suppressed.
