  • Patent number: 7800913
    Abstract: A wiring board includes: a flexible insulating base; a plurality of conductive wirings arranged on the insulating base, end portions of the conductive wirings defining inner leads at a region where a semiconductor chip is to be mounted; and bump electrodes that are provided respectively at the inner leads of the conductive wirings. The wiring board further includes: dummy inner leads having a shape and a pitch corresponding to a shape and a pitch of the inner leads and aligned with the inner leads, the dummy inner leads being provided with dummy bump electrodes corresponding to the bump electrodes; a trunk conductive wiring provided for a group of one or an adjacent plurality of the dummy inner leads; and a branch wiring branching off from the trunk conductive wiring, the branch wiring being connected with the dummy inner leads belonging to the group corresponding to the trunk conductive wiring.

  • Publication number: 20090008771
    Abstract: Metal foil 1 is provided on a surface of a flexible substrate 4 so as to be thermally connected to a semiconductor chip 5, the surface being opposed to the other surface that is in contact with a radiator 2, and the metal foil 1 is screwed to the radiator 2 with fastening screws 3a. Thus heat generated from the semiconductor chip 5 is transmitted from one surface of the semiconductor chip 5 to the radiator 2 through a heat dissipating material 5b, and the heat is transmitted from the other surface of the semiconductor chip 5 to the radiator 2 through the metal foil 1, achieving heat transfer from the two surfaces of the semiconductor chip 5 to the radiator 2. Thus it is possible to improve heat dissipation without considerably increasing the number of components or a set weight.

  • Patent number: 7442074
    Abstract: A wiring board includes first and second feeding electrodes (2, 3) provided along both sides of an insulating substrate (1), feeding bus lines (4) extending in a traverse direction and connected to both the feeding electrodes, and conductor wirings (6, 8, 12) having one side terminals forming inner leads having protruding electrodes (9, 11, 13) and the other side terminals connected to the feeding bus lines. The inner leads in each unit region are arranged in two lines extending in the traverse direction. The inner leads of a first group are arranged with a dense wiring pitch, and the inner leads of a second group include a dense pitch region in which a wiring pitch is the same as that of the inner leads of the first group, and a sparse pitch region in which a wiring pitch is longer than that of the inner leads of the first group.

  • Patent number: 6956288
    Abstract: A semiconductor device to be mounted on an external electronic device includes a film substrate on which wiring electrodes are formed, the wiring electrodes being partially covered with a covering member; and a semiconductor chip mounted on the film substrate. In this semiconductor device, the film substrate is folded so that at least one edge of the film substrate is on a side opposite to a side on which the semiconductor chip is mounted, and portions of the wiring electrodes exposed from the covering member on a surface of the film substrate on which the semiconductor chip is mounted are to be connected to electrodes of an external electronic device.
