  • Patent number: 8557633
    Abstract: A technique that makes it possible to enhance the reliability of a module using PCB as its module substrate is provided. Solder connection of a single-chip component 43, an integrated chip component 44, and a semiconductor chip IC2 by Pb-free solder is carried out by heat treatment at a temperature below 280° C. using a heat block. Solder connection of a semiconductor chip IC1 by high-melting point solder is carried out by heat treatment at a temperature of 280° C. or higher using a hot jet. Thus, the semiconductor chip IC1 can be solder connected to PCB 38 using high-melting point solder without the following troubles: damage to the PCB 38 due to heat, for example, burning of solder resist; and peeling of prepreg from a core material. Therefore, the semiconductor chip IC1 can be mounted over the PCB 38 with high connection strength.

  • Patent number: 7583163
    Abstract: A technique capable of integrally forming SMR type acoustic wave filters corresponding to multiple bands on the same chip at low cost is provided. In SMR type acoustic wave filters including multiple bandpass filters corresponding to multiple bands formed over the same die (substrate), acoustic multilayer films are formed without or with a minimum number of masks and piezoelectric thin films having different thicknesses for respective bands are collectively formed. For example, after the acoustic multilayer films (low acoustic impedance layers and high acoustic impedance layers) are formed in a deep groove in a terrace paddy field shape over the die in a maskless manner, the piezoelectric thin films are c-axis-oriented and grown, and are polished by CMP method or the like to be adjusted in a thickness for respective bands, and therefore, the SMR type acoustic wave filters for multiple bands are formed over the same chip.

  • Patent number: 7554193
    Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of reducing the thermal resistance in a flip chip packaging structure while achieving both the high radiation performance and manufacturing readiness without increasing the manufacturing cost is provided. In a semiconductor device having a semiconductor circuit for power amplification and a control circuit of the semiconductor circuit laminated on a multilayer circuit board, the semiconductor circuit for power amplification and the control circuit are aligned in parallel on the same semiconductor element, and the semiconductor element is flip-chip connected on the multilayer circuit board. Further, a second semiconductor element mounted in addition to the first semiconductor element and all components and submodules are flip-chip connected. Also, a plurality of bumps are united in order to improve the radiation performance and thermal vias of the multilayer circuit board are formed in second and lower layers of the wiring layers in the multilayer circuit board.
