Patent number: 8310035Abstract: Even when only one of semiconductor packages mounted by carrying out infrared reflow is defective, it is required to carry out infrared reflow again to dismount this defective semiconductor package from a mounting board. At this time, stress of heat is also applied to the other non-defective semiconductor packages. For this reason, if infrared reflow is carried out beyond a number of times of infrared reflow specified for non-defective semiconductor packages, the operation of each non-defective semiconductor package cannot be assured. In this case, it is inevitable to discard the semiconductor packages together with the mounting board. To solve this problem, a magnetic material is passed through a hole penetrating a protection member and a package board and the relevant semiconductor package is fixed over a mounting board by this magnetic material. To supply power to the semiconductor package, electromagnetic induction by coils provided in the package board and the mounting board is used.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2010Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventor: Kou Sasaki

Patent number: 8258617Abstract: A technique which prevents cracking in a solder resist layer covering an interposer surface between external coupling terminals of an interconnection substrate, thereby reducing the possibility of interconnect wire disconnection resulting from such cracking. A semiconductor package is mounted over an interconnection substrate. An underfill resin layer seals the space between the semiconductor package and the interconnection substrate. External coupling terminals, interconnect wires and a solder resist layer are formed over the surface of an interposer (constituent of the semiconductor package) where the semiconductor chip is not mounted. In an area where an interconnect wire passing between two neighboring ones of the external coupling terminals intersects with a line connecting the centers of the two external coupling terminals, the interconnect wire is not covered by the solder resist layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2011Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventor: Koujirou Shibuya

Publication number: 20120217629Abstract: A semiconductor device has a carrier. A semiconductor wafer including a semiconductor die is mounted to the carrier with an active surface of the semiconductor die facing away from the carrier. A plurality of bumps is formed over the active surface of the semiconductor die. An opening is formed in a periphery of the semiconductor die. An encapsulant is deposited over the carrier and semiconductor die, in the opening, and around the plurality of bumps such that an exposed portion of the plurality of bumps is devoid of encapsulant. A conductive via is formed through the encapsulant, within the opening, and extends to the carrier. A conductive layer is formed over the encapsulant and electrically connects to the conductive via and the exposed portion of the plurality of bumps. The carrier is removed to expose an end of the conductive via.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2011Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: STATS CHIPPAC, LTD.Inventors: SungWon Cho, JoonYoung Choi, DaeSik Choi

Patent number: 8247898Abstract: A module substrate has an interconnection electrode that is exposed at a side end face thereof. A semiconductor component including an IC chip is mounted on the module substrate. A molded part comprising a resin is formed so as to cover at least a part of the semiconductor component. A coating with higher heat conductivity than the molded part is formed on the surface of the molded part by applying a paste made of material with higher heat conductivity than the molded part. This improves heat dissipation. The coating can be formed such that it extends to the surface of the main substrate on which the module substrate with the semiconductor component is mounted and comes into contact with the interconnection electrode on the surface of the main substrate. This further improves heat dissipation.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2010Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventor: Masahiro Ono
