  • Patent number: 8605277
    Abstract: Reliability of a semiconductor device is improved. In a flatness inspection of BGA (semiconductor device), there is formed a flatness standard where a permissible range in the direction of (+) of flatness at normal temperature is smaller than a permissible range in the direction of (?). With use of the above flatness standard, a flatness inspection of the semiconductor device at normal temperature is performed to determine whether the mounted item is non-defective or defective. With the above process, defective mounting caused by a package warp when heated during reflow soldering etc. is reduced and reliability of BGA is improved. At the same time, flatness management of a substrate-type semiconductor device with better consideration of a mounting state can be performed.

  • Publication number: 20130071970
    Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to inhibit cutting burrs from forming in package dicing. It is possible, in a package dicing step, to: inhibit cutting burrs from forming by cutting a part of a sealing body including leads with a soft resin blade as first step cutting; successively decrease the generation of a remaining uncut part because the progression of the abrasion of a blade main body is slow by cutting only a resin part that is a remaining uncut part with a hard electroformed blade as second step cutting; and resultantly improve the reliability of a semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 7444026
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus and method comprising a reduced image generating unit, a superblock matching unit, a motion vector converting unit, a possible vector selecting unit, a base vector selecting unit, and a macroblock matching unit. The reduced image generating unit generates a reduced image by reducing the size of an image composed of moving picture data. The superblock matching unit calculates a motion vector of each superblock constituting the reduced image. The motion vector converting unit converts the motion vector of each superblock into a possible motion vector common to four macroblocks. For a macroblock of interest, a possible vector selecting unit extracts a motion vector in an adjacent macroblock and possible motion vectors. A base vector determining unit selectively determines a base vector from among the extracted possible vectors. A macroblock matching unit executes block matching in a predetermined search range around the base vector.
