Patent number: 9818678Abstract: To improve reliability of a semiconductor device, in a flip-chip bonding step, a solder material that is attached to a tip end surface of a projecting electrode in advance and a solder material that is applied in advance over a terminal (bonding lead) are heated and thereby integrated and electrically connected to each other. The terminal includes a wide part (a first portion) with a first width W1 and a narrow part (a second portion) with a second width W2. When the solder material is heated, the thickness of the solder material arranged over the narrow part becomes smaller than the thickness of the solder material arranged in the wide part. Then, in the flip-chip bonding step, a projecting electrode is arranged over the narrow part and bonded onto the narrow part. Thus, the amount of protrusion of the solder material can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2014Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Jumpei Konno, Takafumi Nishita, Nobuhiro Kinoshita, Kazunori Hasegawa, Michiaki Sugiyama

Patent number: 9640414Abstract: In a semiconductor device formed by mounting a chip laminate including a semiconductor chip having a small diameter and a semiconductor chip having a large diameter over the top surface of a substrate, an excessive stress is prevented from being added to a joint of the two semiconductor chips. By mounting a first semiconductor chip having a large diameter over a support substrate and thereafter mounting a second semiconductor chip having a small diameter over the first semiconductor chip, it is possible to: suppress the inclination and unsteadiness of the second semiconductor chip mounted over the first semiconductor chip; and hence inhibit an excessive stress from being added to a joint of the first semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chip.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2016Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Michiaki Sugiyama, Nobuhiro Kinoshita
