  • Patent number: 8105878
    Abstract: A thermosetting tape is adopted as a dicing tape and, after package dicing, the thermosetting tape is heated, then a desired one of divided CSPs is picked up by an inverting collet. Since the thermosetting tape is heated o a predetermined temperature so that its adhesive force becomes zero, the CSP can be picked up by the inverting collet without peeling it off from the thermosetting tape. Thus, peel-off charging does not occur and therefore it is not necessary to perform a destaticizing process. As a result, it is possible to improve the production efficiency in assembling the semiconductor device (CSP).

    Abstract: In a circuit device of the present invention, the lower surface side of a circuit board and part of side surfaces thereof are covered with a second resin encapsulant, and the upper surface side and the like of the circuit board are covered with a first resin encapsulant. Since heat dissipation to the outside of the circuit device is achieved mainly through the second resin encapsulant, a particle size of filler contained in the second resin encapsulant is made larger than a particle size of filler contained in the first resin encapsulant. Heat dissipation to the outside of the circuit device is greatly improved.

  • Patent number: 8097945
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an improved die layout for a bi-directional and reverse blocking battery switch. According to one embodiment, two switches are oriented side-by-side, rather than end-to-end, in a die package. This configuration reduces the total switch resistance for a given die area, often reducing the resistance enough to avoid the use of backmetal in order to meet resistance specifications. Elimination of backmetal reduces the overall cost of the die package and removes the potential failure modes associated with the manufacture of backmetal. Embodiments of the present invention may also allow for more pin connections and an increased pin pitch. This results in redundant connections for higher current connections, thereby reducing electrical and thermal resistance and minimizing the costs of manufacture or implementation of the die package.

  • Patent number: 8030712
    Abstract: A method for protecting a circuit component on a semiconductor substrate from a plasma etching or other removal process includes forming a screening layer over an auxiliary layer to conceal at least an area of the auxiliary layer that overlays at least a portion of the circuit component, such as for example a high-ohmic poly resistor. The method transfers a pattern defined by a mask onto the screening layer by selectively removing portions of the screening layer in accordance with the pattern. Portions of the auxiliary layer that are not protected by the screening layer are removed using a plasma gas selective to the auxiliary layer material, without removing the area of the auxiliary layer that overlays the portion of the circuit component, thereby protecting the circuit component from the plasma gas via the screening layer and auxiliary layer.

  • Patent number: 8017448
    Abstract: In a double-sided electrode package, a sealing resin layer is formed so as to fill peripheries of surface-side terminals formed on a package substrate. Since the side surfaces of the surface-side terminals have plural protruded rims, adhesion with the sealing resin layer is improved by an anchor effect. At a sealing step, since supplied liquid resin is naturally flowed to form the sealing resin layer, a “mold step” and a “grinding step” may be omitted, and thus the sealing step may be simplified more greatly than a case where the resin sealing is carried out by a transfer molding method.
