  • Patent number: 6919624
    Abstract: It is difficult to check the mounted state of solder by means of visual inspection after the mounting of a semiconductor device according to a conventional art, in particular, a CSP-semiconductor device, to a substrate and a problem arises wherein defective products increase and yield decreases. Terminals 50, 51, 52 and 53 for external connection are exposed from second main surface 412 of first insulating substrate 41 in the semiconductor device according to the present invention. Thus, second insulating substrate 48 is adhered to second main surface 412 so as to surround the internal portions of these terminals for external connection. Thereby, second insulating substrate 48 serves as a background mirror so that the mounted state of deep portions of the solder can be ascertained at the time of visual inspection of the mounted state of solder after the mounting of the semiconductor device to the substrate.

  • Patent number: 6911353
    Abstract: A lead frame has an array of mounting portions connected by joint bars, and each of the mounting portions has an island serving as an external connection terminal and a plurality of lead terminals extending from the island and serving as external connection terminals for a semiconductor chip to be mounted on an adjacent island along the array. An electrically conductive paste is applied to the island, and a semiconductor chip is mounted on the island. Then, the semiconductor chip is electrically connected to the lead terminals by wires. A resin layer is deposited over the semiconductor chip, a principal surface of the island, and principle surfaces the lead terminals, while leaving opposite surfaces of the island and the lead terminals exposed. A region surrounding the island and the lead terminals electrically connected to the island is cut off into a package.

  • Patent number: 6784523
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method of fabricating a semiconductor device having a relatively small package structure and hence a relatively small mounting area. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of fabricating a semiconductor device relatively inexpensively. An insulating board with a plurality of device carrier areas thereon is prepared, and islands and leads are formed on the device carrier areas electrically connected via through holes to external electrodes on the back of the insulating board. The external electrodes are spaced or retracted inwardly from edges of the device carrier areas. Semiconductor chips are mounted on the respective device carrier areas by die bonding and wire bonding, and then covered with a common resin layer. The resin layer and the insulating board are separated along cutting lines into segments including the device carrier areas thereby to produce individual semiconductor devices.
