  • Patent number: 8293583
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a separation layer and a wiring layer are formed in order on a supporting substrate. A plurality of semiconductor chips are mounted on the wiring layer. The plural semiconductor chips are collectively sealed by a sealing resin layer. A resin-sealed body is evenly held by a holder. The resin-sealed body is separated from the supporting substrate by shearing the separation layer while being heated. The separated resin-sealed body is cooled while a state of the resin-sealed body being held evenly by the holder is maintained, and then a holding state of the resin-sealed body by the holder is released. The resin-sealed body is cut to singulate a circuit structure body.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a resin supply device is configured to supply granular resins to a resin mold device including a first mold provided with a cavity and a second mold mated to the first mold. The resin supply device includes a first mechanism and a second mechanism. The first mechanism is configured to juxtapose multiple granular resins on an adsorption surface by adsorbing the multiple granular resins on the adsorption surface larger than the granular resins, and form an adsorbed resin body with a uniform thickness. The adsorbed resin body is made of the adsorbed multiple granular resins on the adsorption surface. The second mechanism is configured to drop the multiple granular resins adsorbed on the adsorption surface into the cavity by adsorption-release of the adsorption surface.
