Abstract: A TAB tape (100) packaging structure in which (i) the TAB tape (100) including a plurality of semiconductor chips (103) which are fixed, on a film (101) on which wiring patterns are repeatedly provided and (ii) an embossed tape (200) which is electroconductive and has embossed parts (202) which are sequentially provided on a first surface of and in a longitudinal direction of a film (201) are wound on a reel which is electroconductive is arranged such that the TAB tape (100) and the embossed tape (200) are wound on the reel, while (i) a first surface of the film (101) on which surface the plurality of semiconductor chips (103) are fixed and (ii) the first surface of the film (201) on which surface the embossed parts (202) protrude are overlapping and facing each other, and the embossed tape (200) has a total thickness of not less than (t+0.4) mm and not more than 1.1 mm in a case where each of the plurality of semiconductor chips (103) has a thickness of t (0.2?t?0.

Abstract: Ball grid array packages for semiconductor die include a thermally conductive container and a substrate that substantially enclose a semiconductor die. The die is positioned with respect to the container by thermally conductive supports formed in the container or attached to the container. The die contacts the supports so that the die and the container form a cavity that is at least partially filled with a thermally conductive material such as a conductive epoxy to promote thermal conduction between the die and the container. The die electrically connects to the substrate with bond wires that extend through an aperture in the substrate and attach to bond pads provided on the substrate. The aperture is typically filled with a protective layer of resin, epoxy, or other material that also encapsulates the bond wires.

Abstract: A ring-shaped device is provided for protecting an electrostatic discharge sensitive electronic component. The protective device has a thin film support structure, adhesive material for securing the support structure to the leads of the electronic component, and conductive material for electrically connecting the leads together. The adhesive material may be a pressure sensitive adhesive. The conductive material may be an annular layer of metal deposited on the support structure. In addition, a central opening is provided in the support structure to accommodate a top portion of the electronic component. The electronic component may be protected while it is stored, handled and assembled into a larger system or device, such as a circuit board. The protective device may be used with a variety of electronic components, including components with different leads configurations and also taped components.
