  • Patent number: 8203849
    Abstract: A joint board is arranged between an upper package and a lower package. The arrangement of the joint board makes it possible to reduce the size of solder balls and to arrange them with narrower pitch. The joint board has slightly greater dimensions those of the upper package and the lower package. This makes it possible to prevent underfill from leaking and spreading.

  • Patent number: 7615870
    Abstract: Cut pieces of a flexible tape respectively having positioning holes are superposed on a substrate having positioning holes, while positioning the substrate and the cut pieces by inserting a positioning pin into the positioning holes respectively, so that one side of the substrate faces one side of the cut pieces. Subsequently, internal terminals provided on the substrate are ultrasonically joined with internal terminals provided on the cut pieces by pressing an ultrasonic tool from the other side of the cut pieces. As a result, connection between these can be performed highly accurately. Further, since the internal terminals are ultrasonically joined with each other, operation time does not increase in proportion to the number of terminals, as in the connection using a bonding wire, and misregistration due to heat does not occur. Accordingly, connections between circuit boards are performed efficiently, highly accurately, and reliably.

  • Patent number: 7332800
    Abstract: For high density packaging of a semiconductor device, the semiconductor device has a multi-layer substrate, a first-stage chip connected electrically to the multi-layer substrate, other package substrates stacked in three stages on the multi-layer substrate and each connected to an underlying wiring substrate through solder balls, second-, third- and fourth-stage chips electrically connected respectively to the other package substrates, and solder balls provided on the bottom multi-layer substrate. The number of wiring layers in the bottom multi-layer substrate which has a logic chip is larger than that in the package substrates which have memory chips, whereby the semiconductor device can have a wiring layer not used for distribution of wires to the solder balls and wiring lines in the wiring layer can be used for the mounting of another semiconductor element or a passive component to attain high density packaging of the semiconductor device as a stacked type package.

  • Publication number: 20060261494
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip formed with connection terminals, an elastic structure interposed between a main surface of the chip and a wiring substrate formed with wirings connected at first ends thereof to the connection terminals, and bump electrodes connected to the other ends of the wirings. The connection terminals may be at a center part or in peripheral part(s) of the chip main surface and both the elastic structure and wiring substrate are not provided at locations of connection terminals. A resin body seals at least the connection terminals and the exposed first ends of wirings (leads). In a scheme in which the connection terminals are located in a peripheral part of the chip main surface, the wiring substrate protrudes beyond the chip boundary where the connection terminals are arranged, and the resin body shape is restricted by the protruding part of the wiring substrate.
