  • Patent number: 7556983
    Abstract: A thin, planar semiconductor device having electrodes on both surfaces is disclosed. This semiconductor device is provided with an IC chip and a wiring layer having one side that is electrically connected to surface electrodes of the IC chip. On this surface of the wiring layer, conductive posts are provided on wiring of the wiring layer, and an insulating resin covers all portions not occupied by the IC chip and conductive posts. The end surfaces of the conductive posts are exposed from the insulating resin and are used as first planar electrodes. In addition, a resist layer is formed on the opposite surface of the wiring layer. Exposed portions are formed in the resist layer to expose desired wiring portions of the wiring layer. These exposed portions are used as second planar electrodes. Stacking semiconductor devices of this construction enables an improvement in the integration of semiconductor integrated circuits.

  • Publication number: 20090001604
    Abstract: An oxide layer and a metal layer composed of a gold- or platinum-group metal are formed in the stated order on a substrate. A wiring body having a wiring layer, insulating layer, via, and electrode is formed on the metal layer. A semiconductor element is then connected as a flip chip via solder balls on the wiring body electrode, and underfill is introduced between the semiconductor element and the wiring body. Subsequently, a sealing resin layer is formed so as to cover the semiconductor element and the surface of the wiring body on which the semiconductor element is mounted, thus producing a semiconductor package. A high-density, detailed, thin semiconductor package can thereby be realized.

  • Publication number: 20080136020
    Abstract: A first electronic circuit component and a second electronic circuit component are electrically connected to an electro-conductive member via a first solder and a second solder, respectively. The electro-conductive member is formed in a resin film. The electro-conductive member is configured as containing a second diffusion barrier metal film. The second diffusion barrier metal film prevents diffusion of the second solder. Between the electro-conductive member and the first solder, a first diffusion barrier metal film is provided. The first diffusion barrier metal film prevents diffusion of the first solder. On the first surface of the resin film and on the electro-conductive member, an adhesive metal film is formed so as to contact with the resin film and the electro-conductive member. The adhesive metal film has stronger adhesiveness to the resin film than either of those of the first solder and the first diffusion barrier metal film.
