Abstract: The present invention is intended to solve the following problems with a method for fabricating a substrateless semiconductor package using an adhesive sheet as a temporary fixing supporter. A chip can be displaced from a specified position by pressure during resin encapsulation because the chip is not properly held by the adhesive sheet. If such displacement occurs, the relative positional relationship between the chip and an interconnect to be connected to a specified position in a subsequent wiring step also changes by the displacement of the chip from the specified position. Another problem is that if adhesive deposits occur during peeling of the adhesive sheet and the surface of a package is contaminated with the adhesive deposits, adhesive components left on the surface of the chip can inhibit connection between the interconnect and the chip in a subsequent wiring step.

A thin-film substrate, a tackiness adhesive sheet for thin-film substrate fixing, and a hard substrate are laminated in this order and a porous base material functioning as a core material of the tackiness adhesive sheet for thin-film substrate fixing has bore holes. Therefore, even if preliminary heating and drying is not applied, air bubbles are not generated between the thin-film substrate and the tackiness adhesive sheet for fixing during pattern formation on the thin-film substrate. This makes it possible to stably and efficiently form a pattern.
