  • Patent number: 8748225
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and manufacturing method are disclosed which prevent breakage and chipping of a semiconductor chip and improve device characteristics. A separation layer is in a side surface of an element end portion of the chip. An eave portion is formed by a depressed portion in the element end portion. A collector layer on the rear surface of the chip extends to a side wall and bottom surface of the depressed portion, and is connected to the separation layer. A collector electrode is over the whole surface of the collector layer, and is on the side wall of the depressed portion. The thickness of an outermost electrode film is 0.05 ?m or less. The collector electrode on the rear surface of the chip is joined onto an insulating substrate via a solder layer, which covers the collector electrode on a flat portion of the rear surface of the semiconductor chip.

  • Patent number: 6418030
    Abstract: A multi-chip module includes bare IC chips mounted on respective areas of a printed wiring board. Outer electrode pads on the peripheries of the board are soldered to another printed wiring board such as a motherboard. Lead pads and the outer electrode pads are interconnected through a circuit pattern, through holes, and interstitial via holes. The circuit pattern is disposed on a die bonding surface of the bare IC chips for which insulation is not necessary.

  • Patent number: 6147876
    Abstract: Bare IC chips (201 through 203) are mounted on respective areas (101 through 103) of a printed wiring board (100). The outer electrode pads (105) on the peripheries of the board (100) are soldered to another printed wiring board (1) such as a mother board. Lead pads (107) and the outer electrode pads (105) are interconnected through a circuit pattern (109), through holes (111) and interstitial via holes (112). The circuit pattern (109) is disposed on a die bonding surface of the bare IC chips (201 and 202) for which insulation is not necessary. A multi-chip module is thus completed.
