  • Patent number: 7187072
    Abstract: A semiconductor package substrate is provided, which can meet the move toward high integration of semiconductors. A nickel layer is plated on an electroplated copper foil to form a wiring pattern. An LSI chip is mounted on the copper foil, and terminals of the LSI chip and the wiring pattern are connected by wire bonding, followed by sealing with a semiconductor-sealing epoxy resin. Only the copper foil is dissolved away with an alkali etchant to expose nickel. With a nickel stripper having low copper-dissolving power, the nickel layer is removed to expose the wiring pattern. A solder resist is coated, and a pattern is formed in such a way that connecting terminal portions are exposed. Solder balls are placed at the exposed portions of the wiring pattern and are then fused. The wiring pattern is connected to an external printed board via the solder balls.

  • Patent number: 6708398
    Abstract: A substrate for use in a semiconductor package is fabricated by preparing a composite metal laminate consisting of a first metal layer, a second metal layer, and a carrier layer positioned in this order. The first metal layer has etching characteristics different to those of the second metal layer with respect to the same etchant. The first metal layer is selectively etched until the second metal layer is exposed, thereby forming pillar-like interconnections. The gap between the interconnections is then filled with a resin so as to form a resin base with interconnections. The carrier layer is removed from the second metal layer, and the second metal layer is selectively etched until the first metal layer or the resin base is exposed, thereby forming a conductive pattern on the resin base.
