  • Publication number: 20110076800
    Abstract: The reliability of a semiconductor device is improved. A sealing resin (sealed body) is formed between a sub-substrate (first base member) and a base substrate (second base member) that are provided individually and distinctly to be integrated therewith, and then, the sub-substrate is electrically coupled to the second base member. As a means for electrically coupling the sub-substrate to the base substrate, lands (first lands) formed on the sub-substrate and lands (second lands) formed on the base substrate are disposed such that the respective positions thereof are aligned. After through holes are formed from the lands of the sub-substrate toward the lands of the base substrate, a solder member (conductive member) is formed in each of the through holes.

  • Publication number: 20110074019
    Abstract: To improve reliability of a semiconductor device in which wire bonding using a wire made of copper is performed. A semiconductor device is configured so that one of end parts (wide width part) of a copper wire is joined via a bump on a pad (electrode pad) formed over a main surface (first main surface) of a semiconductor chip of the semiconductor device. The bump is made of gold, which is a metal material having a hardness lower than that of copper, and the width of the bump is narrower than the width of the wide width part of the wire.

  • Publication number: 20100320623
    Abstract: A multi-pin semiconductor device with improved reliability. In a multi-pin BGA, a plurality of wires for electrically coupling a semiconductor chip and a wiring substrate include a plurality of short and thin first wires located in an inner position and a plurality of second wires longer and thicker than the first wires. Since resin flows in from between thin first wires during resin molding, the resin pushes out air, thereby suppressing formation of voids. The reliability of the multi-pin BGA is thus improved.

  • Patent number: 6856028
    Abstract: In a semiconductor device, a semiconductor element is bonded to an insulating circuit board. A resin layer for bonding the semiconductor element to the insulating circuit board is extended so as to become greater in size than the semiconductor element. Further, the surroundings of the semiconductor element are sealed with resin. Reliability of mounting is improved by alleviating stress developing in a solder joint of the external electrodes of the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 6256875
    Abstract: The minimum spacing between wires disposed on a printed circuit board of a printed circuit board ball grid array package is reduced. Wiring layers are narrower than in the prior art because they are not plated and because only one metal layer is plated on the wiring layers. The narrower wiring layers can be formed easily with small spaces between wires.

  • Patent number: 5296710
    Abstract: An infrared radiation detector so adapted as to prevent the image signals from deteriorating due to the short length of leads extending within the cryogenic container with the infrared radiation sensing element accommodated within and to correspond to the increasing number of the leads and terminals, associated with a high density of elements. The infrared radiation detector is composed of an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder. The outer cylinder is disposed so as to lie in the same plane as the sub-package on which the multi-layered ceramic lead plate composed of a plurality of bonding pads for wire bonding, internally embedded lead layers, and plug-in terminals for fetching signals is mounted. The bonding pad of the sub-package is bonded to the bonding pad of the ceramic lead plate through a wire bonding.

  • Patent number: 5217910
    Abstract: First, a low-concentration impurity layer is formed by obliquely implanting an n-type impurity at a prescribed angle with respect to the surface of a p-type semiconductor substrate, using a gate electrode formed on the semiconductor substrate as a mask. Thereafter a sidewall spacer is formed on the sidewall of the gate electrode, and then a medium-concentration impurity layer is formed by obliquely implanting an n-type impurity to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. Thereafter a high-concentration impurity layer is formed by substantially perpendicularly implanting an n-type impurity with respect to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. According to this method, the low-concentration impurity layer in source and drain regions having triple diffusion structures can be accurately overlapped with the gate electrode, with no requirement for heat treatment for thermal diffusion.
