  • Patent number: 8659151
    Abstract: The present invention provides a double-sided electrode package of a structure excellent in the reliability of connection and moisture resistance to another package, which is capable of being manufactured simply and at low cost. The present invention also provides a double-sided electrode package of a structure capable of forming inner wirings (electrode pads) in arbitrary layouts according to the number of pins of a semiconductor chip and the size thereof, which package is capable of being manufactured simply and at low cost. A copper foil is attached onto a core material formed with electrode pads, wirings, through electrodes, lands and a solder resist. The copper foil is wet-etched in several stages to form surface side terminals which stand on the wirings approximately vertically and each of which includes a plurality of protrusions (convex portions continuous in the circumferential direction) formed at their side faces over the full circumference along the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 8207020
    Abstract: There is provided a semiconductor device whose cost is low and whose case is restrained from breaking. In the semiconductor device having a semiconductor sensor chip, a signal processing circuit for processing signals output from the semiconductor sensor chip and a hollow case for mounting the semiconductor sensor chip and the signal processing circuit therein, the case is constructed by bonding a concave bottom member whose one end is opened with a plate-like lid member that covers the opening of the bottom member. Then, the bottom and lid members are both made of a semiconductor material and are bonded by means of anode bonding or metal bonding for example.

  • Patent number: 8042392
    Abstract: An acceleration sensor has a semiconductor acceleration sensor chip and a case. The semiconductor acceleration sensor chip has a fixed portion, a plummet portion surrounding the fixed portion without contacting the fixed portion, and a beam portion connecting the fixed portion and the plummet portion, the thickness of the beam portion being thinner than the thickness of the fixed portion. The case has a cavity housing the semiconductor acceleration sensor chip, and a projection portion formed on the bottom face of the cavity, the bottom face of the fixed portion being fixed to the top face of the projection portion.

  • Patent number: 8017448
    Abstract: In a double-sided electrode package, a sealing resin layer is formed so as to fill peripheries of surface-side terminals formed on a package substrate. Since the side surfaces of the surface-side terminals have plural protruded rims, adhesion with the sealing resin layer is improved by an anchor effect. At a sealing step, since supplied liquid resin is naturally flowed to form the sealing resin layer, a “mold step” and a “grinding step” may be omitted, and thus the sealing step may be simplified more greatly than a case where the resin sealing is carried out by a transfer molding method.
