  • Publication number: 20080303136
    Abstract: A transparent board is positioned on a support board provided with a positioning mark, and a release material is provided. A semiconductor element is then positioned so that the electrode element faces upward, and the support board is then removed. An insulating resin is then formed on the release material so as to cover the semiconductor element; and a via, a wiring layer, an insulation layer, an external terminal, and a solder resist are then formed. The transparent board is then peeled from the semiconductor device through the use of the release material. A chip can thereby be mounted with high precision, there is no need to provide a positioning mark during mounting of the chip on the substrate in the manufacturing process, and the substrate can easily be removed. As a result, a semiconductor device having high density and a thin profile can be manufactured at low cost.

  • Publication number: 20080012140
    Abstract: A wiring substrate includes a base insulating film, a first interconnection formed on a top surface side of the base insulating film, a via conductor provided in a via hole formed in the base insulating film, and a second interconnection provided on a bottom surface side of the base insulating film, the second interconnection being connected to the first interconnection via the via conductor. The wiring substrate includes divided-substrate-unit regions, in each of which the first interconnection, the via conductor, and the second interconnection are formed. The wiring substrate includes a warpage-controlling pattern on the base insulating film, and has a warped shape such that when the wiring substrate is left at rest on a horizontal plate, at least a central part of each side of a plane surface of the substrate contacts the horizontal plate, with both ends of the side raised, where each of the sides extends along a second direction perpendicular to a first direction in the plane surface of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20060283629
    Abstract: A wiring board for mounting a semiconductor element or electronic component having a plurality of wiring layers, an insulating layer provided between these wiring layers, and a via which is provided to the insulating layer and which electrically connects the wiring layers. In this wiring board, the cross-sectional shape of the via in the plane parallel to the wiring layers is obtained by the partial overlapping of a plurality of similar shapes (circles). Stable operation can be obtained in a semiconductor element by minimizing obstacles to increased density, effectively increasing the cross-sectional area of the via, and preventing the wiring resistance from increasing by making the cross-sectional shape of the via into a shape obtained by the partial overlapping of a plurality of similar shapes.

  • Publication number: 20030119296
    Abstract: Concave portions having shapes adapted to the remaining resist are formed in the vicinities of external terminals of metal wiring. The external terminals of the metal wiring project from the side surfaces of the concave portions. By thus constructing the external terminals, no matter which of the X, Y, and Z directions solder balls that are connected to lands displace in, the lands can displace by following the displacement of the solder balls without restriction. Therefore, even when the semiconductor device and a mounting substrate have elongation differently from each other due to a difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion, the elongation can be absorbed.
