  • Patent number: 8796869
    Abstract: In a CSP type semiconductor device, the invention prevents a second wiring from forming a narrowed portion on a lower surface of a step portion at the time of forming the second wiring that is connected to the back surface of a first wiring formed near a side surface portion of a semiconductor die on the front surface and extends onto the back surface of the semiconductor die over the step portion of a window that is formed from the back surface side of the semiconductor die so as to expose the back surface of the first wiring. A glass substrate is bonded on a semiconductor substrate on which a first wiring is formed on the front surface near a dicing line with an adhesive resin being interposed therebetween. The semiconductor substrate is then etched from the back surface to form a window having step portions with inclined sidewalls around the dicing line as a center.

  • Patent number: 8766432
    Abstract: Methods and resulting devices are disclosed related to attaching a die to a leadframe. One such method includes initially bonding a carrier pad which is pre-coated with a thermosetting first adhesive to the leadframe. The carrier pad can be electrically non-conductive. The first adhesive can be raised to its thermosetting cure temperature by heating the leadframe to a temperature just above the thermosetting cure temperature of the first adhesive. A thermosetting second adhesive which is liquid at room temperature can be applied to a second major surface of the carrier pad, and the die can be placed on the second adhesive and aligned with the leadframe. The second adhesive can be raised to its thermosetting cure temperature to bond the die to the carrier pad, and in turn form a bonded assembly.

  • Patent number: 8692390
    Abstract: A pyramid bump structure for electrically coupling to a bond pad on a carrier comprises a conductive block disposed at the bond pad and an oblique pyramid insulation layer covered at one side of the conductive block. The oblique pyramid insulation layer comprises a bottom portion and a top portion, and outer diameter of the oblique pyramid insulation layer is tapered from the bottom portion to the top portion. When the carrier is connected with a substrate and an anisotropic conductive film disposed at the substrate, the pyramid bump structure may rapidly embed into the anisotropic conductive film to raise the flow rate of the anisotropic conductive film. Further, a short phenomenon between adjacent bumps can be avoided to raise the yield rate of package process.

  • Patent number: 8692383
    Abstract: To achieve a reduction in cost of a semiconductor device, in a common board (a wiring board), a plurality of bonding leads each extend toward the center of the board, and a solder resist film as a die bonding region supporting a minimum chip is coated with a die bonding material. With this, even when a first semiconductor chip as a large chip is mounted, wire bonding can be performed without causing the die bonding material to cover the bonding leads. Thus, development cost can be reduced to reduce the cost of the semiconductor device (LGA).
