  • Patent number: 6611063
    Abstract: A method for forming a mold-encapsulated semiconductor device includes the steps of mounting a semiconductor chip on a metallic plate having a metallic interconnect pattern thereon, encapsulating the semiconductor chip on the metallic interconnect pattern, removing the bottom of the metallic plate by etching to expose the metallic interconnect pattern, and forming external terminals on the bottom of the metallic interconnect pattern. The method reduces the thickness as well as the planar dimensions of the semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 6538305
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an interposing substrate having a top surface mounting thereon a semiconductor chip and a bottom surface mounting thereon a solder ball islands. Chip electrodes of the semiconductor chip are connected to the solder ball islands through a top interconnect pattern, via holes and a bottom interconnect pattern. The second interconnect pattern has a solder-flow damping/stopping pattern in the vicinity of the solder ball islands for stopping the solder from flowing onto the bottom interconnect pattern upon melting.

  • Patent number: 6504244
    Abstract: A semiconductor device of the present invention is made up of a semiconductor chip and a single wiring tape resembling a film carrier and including a wiring layer that has a preselected pattern. The wiring tape is adhered to at least the top, bottom and one side of a semiconductor chip. The semiconductor device has outer connecting portions arranged on the above surface of the chip. The semiconductor device is comparable in package size with a bare chip. A semiconductor module having a plurality of such semiconductor devices arranged bidimensionally or tridimensionally achieves desirable electric characteristics while obviating the dense arrangement of a number of wirings.

  • Patent number: 6246117
    Abstract: A semiconductor device of a BGA (Ball-Grid-Array) package comprises a lead frame, a semiconductor chip, bonding wires, a plastic, an insulation film, and solder balls. The semiconductor chip is mounted on one side of the lead frame, and is electrically connected to the lead frame by the bonding wires. The plastic encapsulates the semiconductor chip and the bonding wires. The insulation film has openings for exposing predetermined regions of the lead frame. The insulation film is affixed onto an underside surface of the lead frame. The solder balls act as connection terminals. The solder balls are formed on the regions of the lead frame exposed through the openings in the insulation film.

  • Patent number: 6215169
    Abstract: In a semiconductor device, the adhesive layer of a tape that is adhered to the surface of a chip is disposed so that there is no overlap with an aperture in the uppermost surface of a semiconductor element. With the usual type of tape, the tape is kept at a distance of at least 0.1 mm from the cover aperture in the surface of the semiconductor element, and in the case in which there are two covers, the tape is kept at a distance of at least 0.1 mm from an aperture at the uppermost surface of the semiconductor element. The aperture includes either a fuse aperture or a bonding bad and fuse aperture.
