  • Publication number: 20120061850
    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).

    Abstract: A method of assembling an electronic device and electronic packages therefrom. A die attach adhesive precursor is placed between a top surface of a workpiece and an IC die. The die attach adhesive precursor includes metal particles, a first plurality of first microcapsules having a polymerizable material inside, and a second plurality of second microcapsules having a polymerization agent inside to form a first polymer upon rupture of first and second microcapsules. A force sufficient to rupture at least a portion of the first plurality of first microcapsules and at least a portion of the second plurality of second microcapsules is applied to form a self-healing die attach adhesive wherein the first polymer binds the plurality of metal particles and the remaining microcapsules and secures the IC die to the top surface of the workpiece. The self-healing die attach adhesive generally includes at least 90 vol. % metal.

  • Patent number: 8022536
    Abstract: The present invention provides techniques to fabricate build-up single or multichip modules. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by dispensing die-attach material in one or more pre-etched cavities on a substrate. A semiconductor die is then placed over each pre-etched cavity including the die-attach material by urging a slight downward pressure on the substrate such that an active surface of each placed semiconductor die is disposed across from the substrate and is further substantially coplanar with the substrate. The semiconductor die is then secured to the substrate by curing the die-attach material. A miniature circuit board, including one or more alternating layer of dielectric material and metallization structures, is then formed over the substrate and the active surface of each semiconductor die to electrically interconnect the semiconductor dies.

  • Patent number: 8013443
    Abstract: An electronic carrier board and a package structure thereof are provided. The electronic carrier board includes a carrier, at least one pair of bond pads formed on the carrier, and a protective layer covering the carrier. The protective layer is formed with openings for exposing the bond pads. A groove is formed between the paired bond pads and has a length larger than a width of an electronic component mounted on the paired bond pads. The groove is adjacent to one of the paired bond pads and communicates with a corresponding one of the openings where this bond pad is exposed. Accordingly, a clearance between the electronic component and the electronic carrier board can be effectively filled with an insulating resin for encapsulating the electronic component, thereby preventing voids and undesirable electrical bridging between the paired bond pads from occurrence.
