  • Publication number: 20170092614
    Abstract: The joint reliability in flip chip bonding of a semiconductor device is enhanced. Prior to flip chip bonding, flux 9 is applied to the solder bumps 5a for flip chip bonding over a substrate and reflow/cleaning is carried out and then flip chip bonding is carried out. This makes is possible to thin the oxide film over the surfaces of the solder bumps 5a and make the oxide film uniform. As a result, it is possible to suppress the production of local solder protrusions to reduce the production of solder bridges during flip chip bonding and enhance the joint reliability in the flip chip bonding of the semiconductor device.

  • Publication number: 20160111388
    Abstract: A technique capable of improving reliability of a semiconductor device is provided. In the present invention, as a wiring board on which a semiconductor chip is mounted, a build-up wiring board is not used but a through wiring board THWB is used. In this manner, in the present invention, the through wiring board formed of only a core layer is used, so that it is not required to consider a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between a build-up layer and the core layer, and besides, it is not required either to consider the electrical disconnection of a fine via formed in the build-up layer because the build-up layer does not exist. As a result, according to the present invention, the reliability of the semiconductor device can be improved while a cost is reduced.
