  • Patent number: 7220921
    Abstract: In the present invention there is formed a sheet-like board member 50 having conductive coating films, such as first pads 55 and die pads 59, formed thereon or a sheet-like board member 50 which has been half-etched by using conductive coating films such as first pads 55 and die pads 59. A hybrid IC can be manufactured by means of utilization of post-processing processes of a semiconductor manufacturer. Further, a hybrid IC can be manufactured without adoption of a support board, and hence there can be manufactured a hybrid IC which is of lower profile and has superior heat dissipation characteristics.

  • Patent number: 7138296
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is described. A board that includes a flat back face, corresponding to a resin sealing area, and a front face that has projections is provided. The projections are formed of a metal that is integral with the board and include (a) a bonding pad provided in an area surrounded by an area that contacts an upper die, (b) a wiring that is integrated with the bonding pad and which extends to a semiconductor element mounting area, and (c) an electrode provided in one body with the wiring. A semiconductor element is mounted on the semiconductor element area and electrically connected to the bonding pad. The board is placed on a lower die and resin is filled into a space formed by the board and upper die. The board is divided into multiple devices such that the projections are separated by removing the board exposed at the back face of the resin.

  • Patent number: 7125798
    Abstract: After a trench 54 is formed in a conductive foil 60, the circuit elements are mounted, and the insulating resin is applied on the conductive foil 60 as the support substrate. After being inverted, the conductive foil 60 is polished on the insulating resin 50 as the support substrate for separation into the conductive paths. Accordingly, it is possible to fabricate the circuit device in which the conductive paths 51 and the circuit elements 52 are supported by the insulating resin 50, without the use of the support substrate. And the interconnects L1 to L3 requisite for the circuit are formed, and can be prevented from slipping because of the curved structure 59 and a visor 58.
