  • Publication number: 20100052187
    Abstract: A stacked semiconductor package having a unit package, cover substrates, adhesive members and connection electrodes is presented. The unit package includes a substrate, a first circuit pattern and a second circuit pattern. The first circuit pattern is disposed over an upper face of the substrate. The second circuit pattern is disposed over a lower face of the substrate. The lower and upper faces of the substrate oppose each other. The first and second semiconductor chips are respectively electrically connected to the first and second circuit patterns. The cover substrates are opposed to the first semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chip. The adhesive members are respectively interposed between the unit package and the cover substrates. The connection electrodes pass through the unit package, the cover substrates and the adhesive members and are electrically connected to the first and second circuit patterns.

  • Publication number: 20090321892
    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor chip having a plurality of bonding pads. Through-electrodes are formed in the semiconductor chip and are electrically connected to the bonding pads. The through electrodes comprise a plurality of conductors and a plurality of voids that are defined by the conductors. Each conductor may include a plurality of nanowires grouped into a spherical shape having a plurality of voids, a plurality of nanowires grouped into a polygonal shape having a plurality of voids, or the conductors may include a plurality of micro solder balls. The voids of the through electrode absorb stress caused when head is generated during the driving of the semiconductor package.

  • Publication number: 20090174073
    Abstract: A substrate for a semiconductor package includes a ball land disposed on one surface of an insulating layer. A solder resist is applied to the surface of insulating layer while leaving the ball land exposed. A coating film is applied on the exposed surface of the 1o ball land. The coating film includes a high molecular compound having metal particles. In the substrate having the ball land with the coating film formed thereon, it is not necessary to subject the substrate to a UBM formation process.

  • Publication number: 20090152708
    Abstract: The substrate for a semiconductor package includes a substrate body having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. Connection pads are formed near an edge of the first surface. Signal lines having conductive vias and first, second, and third line parts are formed. The first line parts are formed on the first surface and are connected to the connection pads and the conductive vias, which pass through the substrate body. The second line parts are formed on the first surface and connect to the conductive vias. The third line parts are formed on the second surface and connect to the conductive vias. The second and third line parts are formed to have substantially the same length. The semiconductor package utilizes the above substrate for processing data at a high speed.

  • Publication number: 20090140426
    Abstract: A flip chip package includes a substrate and a semiconductor chip. The substrate includes a substrate body, a metal wiring having a terminal part some of which is disposed in the substrate body, a solder resist pattern formed on the substrate body with an opening for exposing the terminal part, and an organic anti-oxidation layer for covering the terminal part. The semiconductor chip has a bump formed through (e.g., penetrates) the organic anti-oxidation layer and is electrically connected to the terminal part. The present invention prevents oxidation of the terminal part and allows easy coupling of a bump of a semiconductor chip and the terminal part of the substrate, since an anti-oxidation layer including an organic matter is formed over a surface of a terminal part including copper which is easily oxidized.

  • Patent number: 7387910
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of bonding solder pads of a flip-chip package. This invention relates to a method of bonding solder pads having different sizes to each other, when a bonding operation is executed between a chip and a PCB, between chips, or between PCBs. On a side having a larger solder pad, a general solder ball is used. Conversely, on a side having a smaller solder pad, a solder ball having a core is used. The core serves to maintain a predetermined interval between the chip and the PCB or between the chips, after the bonding operation has been completed. The solder bonded parts are aligned with each other so as to perform a final bonding operation. In a conventional flip-chip package, solder pads provided on a bonded part must have the same or similar size. According to this invention, even if the size difference between the solder pads is large, bonding is possible, thus ensuring electrical and mechanical reliability.

  • Patent number: 6110276
    Abstract: A method for making n-type semiconducting diamond by use of CVD in which n-type impurities are doped simultaneously with the deposition of diamond. As the n-type impurities, an Li compound and a B compound, both, are used at once. After doping, a diamond film thus obtained is etched to peel off its surface. The n-type semiconducting diamond is superior in specific resistivity, 10.sup.-2 .OMEGA.cm or less.
