  • Patent number: 8673739
    Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a lightweight semiconductor device having a highly reliable sealing structure which can prevent ingress of impurities such as moisture that deteriorate element characteristics, and a method of manufacturing thereof. A protective film having superior gas barrier properties (which is a protective film that is likely to damage an element if the protective film is formed on the element directly) is previously formed on a heat-resistant substrate other than a substrate with the element formed thereon. The protective film is peeled off from the heat-resistant substrate, and transferred over the substrate with the element formed thereon so as to seal the element.

  • Patent number: 8420409
    Abstract: An object is to provide a highly reliable semiconductor device that has tolerance to external stress and electrostatic discharge. Another object is to prevent defective shapes and defective characteristics due to the external stress or an electrostatic discharge in the manufacturing process, and to manufacture a semiconductor device with high yield. Still another object is to manufacture a semiconductor device at low cost and with high productivity. With the use of a conductive shield, electrostatic breakdown (malfunctions of the circuit or damages of a semiconductor element) due to electrostatic discharge of the semiconductor integrated circuit is prevented. The conductive shield is formed so that at least the conductive shields on the top and bottom surfaces are electrically connected by a plating method. In addition, a semiconductor device can be formed at low cost with high productivity because a plating method is used for the formation of the conductive shield.
