Patent number: 6909179Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a semiconductor chip mounted on one surface of the substrate, wherein the semiconductor chip has an integrated circuit and bonding pads formed on a main surface thereof. The main surface of the semiconductor chip has a quadrilateral shape with the bonding pads being disposed along four sides of the main surface. A plurality of conductors is disposed on the one surface of the substrate so as to surround the semiconductor chip along four sides thereof and a plurality of bonding wires electrically connect the bonding pads with tips of the conductors, respectively. A resin body seals the semiconductor chip, the conductors and the plurality of bonding wires. A pitch between adjacent bonding pads increases in a direction toward four corners defined by the four sides of the main surface of the semiconductor chip.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2001Date of Patent: June 21, 2005Assignees: Renesas Technology Corp., Hitachi Hokkai Semiconductor, Ltd.Inventors: Shigeki Tanaka, Atsushi Fujisawa, Souichi Nagano, Tsugihiko Hirano, Ryouichi Oota, Takafumi Konno, Kenichi Tatebe, Toshiaki Okamoto

Patent number: 6551862Abstract: A semiconductor device is disclosed, comprising a tape substrate which supports a semiconductor chip, an insulating adhesive layer disposed between the semiconductor chip and the tape substrate, an insulating sheet member laminated to the insulating adhesive layer and formed harder than the insulating adhesive layer, wires for connecting pads on the semiconductor chip with connecting terminals on the tape substrate, a sealing portion formed by sealing the semiconductor chip with resin, and plural solder balls provided on a back of the tape substrate. A die bonding layer for fixing the semiconductor chip thereto is composed of an insulating adhesive layer and the insulating sheet member laminated thereto. The die bonding layer is formed thick by such a multi-layer structure, whereby the resin balance of the surface and back of the semiconductor chip is improved to prevent warping of a package and improve the mounting temperature cyclicity and reflow characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2001Date of Patent: April 22, 2003Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Hokkai Semiconductor, Ltd.Inventors: Riyouichi Oota, Tsugihiko Hirano, Atsushi Fujisawa, Takafumi Konno
