(embodiment 1)
The circuit of < flow sensor constitutes >
Firstly, illustrating that the circuit of flow sensor is constituted.Fig. 1 is the electricity for indicating the flow sensor in present embodiment 1 The circuit block diagram that road is constituted.In Fig. 1, flow sensor in present embodiment 1, firstly, having for controlling flow sensor CPU (Central Processing Unit) 1, also, have for the CPU1 input input signal input circuit 2 With the output circuit 3 for exporting the output signal from CPU1.Moreover, flow sensor is provided with the memory of storing data 4, CPU1 access memories 4, can be referring to the data for being stored in memory 4.
Then, CPU1 is connect via output circuit 3 with the base stage of transistor Tr.Moreover, the collector of transistor Tr with Power ps connection, the emission electrode of transistor Tr are connect via heating resistor HR with ground (GND).Therefore, transistor Tr by CPU1 control.In other words, the base stage of transistor Tr is connect via output circuit 3 with CPU1, so, the output signal from CPU1 It is entered the base stage of transistor Tr.
As a result, using the output signal (control signal) from CPU1, to control the electric current flowed in transistor Tr.When When becoming larger due to the electric current that the output signal from CPU1 flows in transistor Tr, supplied from power ps to heating resistor HR Electric current become larger, the heating amount of heating resistor HR becomes larger.
On the other hand, when the electric current flowed in transistor Tr due to the output signal from CPU1 is tailed off, to fever The electric current of resistor body HR supply tails off, and the heating amount of heating resistor HR is reduced.
In this way it is found that in the flow sensor in present embodiment 1, flowed in heating resistor HR by CPU1 control The magnitude of current, the calorific value as a result, from heating resistor HR controlled by CPU1.
Then, in the flow sensor in present embodiment 1, the electricity flowed in heating resistor HR is controlled by CPU1 Stream, therefore it is provided with computer heating control bridge HCB.The computer heating control bridge HCB detects the calorific value distributed from heating resistor HR, by this Testing result is output to input circuit 2.As a result, CPU1 can input the testing result from computer heating control bridge HCB, it is based on this Kind situation, to control the electric current flowed in transistor Tr.
Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, computer heating control bridge HCB has structure between reference voltage Vref1 and ground (GND) Resistor body R1~resistor body R4 of Cheng Qiao.In the computer heating control bridge HCB such as constituted with upper type, heated by heating resistor HR Gas afterwards is only than suction temperature in the case where high certain certain temperature (Δ T, for example, 100 DEG C), with the current potential and section of node A The potential difference of the current potential of point B is that the mode of 0V sets resistor body R1~resistor body R4 resistance value.That is, constituting computer heating control bridge Resistor body R1~resistor body R4 of HCB with by the member of formation of resistor body R1 and resistor body R3 series connection and by resistor body R2 and The mode that the member of formation that resistor body R4 is connected in series connects side by side between reference voltage Vref1 and ground (GND) constitutes bridge. Moreover, the tie point that the tie point of resistor body R1 and resistor body R3 are node A, resistor body R2 and resistor body R4 is node B.
At this point, being contacted by the gas after heating resistor HR heating with the resistor body R1 for constituting computer heating control bridge HCB.Cause This becomes based on the resistance value for constituting the resistor body R1 of computer heating control bridge HCB due to the calorific value from heating resistor HR Change.In this way, the potential difference between node A and node B changes when the resistance value of resistor body R1 changes.Node A and The potential difference of node B is entered CPU1 via input circuit 2, so, CPU1 is controlled based on the potential difference of node A and node B The electric current flowed in transistor Tr.
Specifically, CPU1 controls the electric current flowed in transistor Tr, so that the potential difference of node A and node B become 0V, to control the calorific value from heating resistor HR.In other words, it is known that: in the flow sensor in present embodiment 1, CPU1 carries out feedback control based on the output of computer heating control bridge HCB, by the gas after being heated by heating resistor HR than air-breathing temperature The certain value of degree only high certain certain temperature (Δ T, for example, 100 DEG C).
Then, the flow sensor in present embodiment 1 has the temperature sensor bridge of the flow for detection gas TSB.The temperature sensor bridge TSB has 4 temperature detecting resistance bodies for constituting bridge between reference voltage Vref2 and ground (GND). 4 temperature detecting resistance bodies are made of 2 upstream temperature detecting resistance body UR1, UR2 and 2 downstreams temperature detecting resistance body BR1, BR2.
That is, the direction of the arrow of Fig. 1 indicates the direction of gas flowing, it is provided in the upstream side in the direction of gas flowing Upstream temperature detecting resistance body UR1, UR2 are provided with downstream temperature detecting resistance body BR1, BR2 in downstream side.These upstream temperature detecting resistance bodies UR1, UR2 and downstream temperature detecting resistance body BR1, BR2 are configured to identical to the distance of heating resistor HR.
In temperature sensor bridge TSB, upstream temperature detecting resistance body UR1 and downstream temperature detecting resistance body BR1 are in reference voltage It is connected in series between Vref2 and ground (GND), the tie point of upstream temperature detecting resistance body UR1 and downstream temperature detecting resistance body BR1 are Node C.
On the other hand, upstream temperature detecting resistance body UR2 and downstream temperature detecting resistance body BR2 are in ground (GND) and reference voltage It is connected in series between Vref2, the tie point of upstream temperature detecting resistance body UR2 and downstream temperature detecting resistance body BR2 are node D.Moreover, The current potential of node C and the current potential of node D are entered CPU1 via input circuit 2.Moreover, setting upstream temperature detecting resistance body UR1, Each resistance value of UR2 and downstream temperature detecting resistance body BR1, BR2, so that the nothing that the flow of the gas flowed in the direction of the arrow is zero When wind state, the poor current potential of the current potential of the current potential and node D of node C becomes 0V.
Specifically, upstream temperature detecting resistance body UR1, UR2 and downstream temperature detecting resistance body BR1, BR2 are configured to away from heating resistor Body HR be equidistant and resistance value is also equal.Therefore, it is known that the hair in temperature sensor bridge TSB, with heating resistor HR Heat is without sight, and when for windless condition, the poor current potential of node C and node D are 0V.
The movement > of < flow sensor
Flow sensor in present embodiment 1 constitutes in the manner described above, in the following, acting referring to Fig.1 to it It is bright.Firstly, CPU1 via output circuit 3 to the base stage output signal output of transistor Tr (control signal), make current flow through crystalline substance Body pipe Tr.It is connect in this way, electric current is flowed to from the power ps connecting with the collector of transistor Tr with the emission electrode of transistor Tr Heating resistor HR.Therefore, heating resistor HR generates heat.Moreover, the gas after the fever heating of origin spontaneous heating resistor body HR Body heats the resistor body R1 for constituting computer heating control bridge HCB.
At this point, each resistance value of setting resistor body R1~R4, is only above centainly in the gas heated by heating resistor HR In the case where temperature (for example, 100 DEG C), so that the poor current potential of the node A and node B of computer heating control bridge HCB are 0V.Therefore, example Such as in the case where being only above certain temperature (for example, 100 DEG C) by the gas after heating resistor HR heating, computer heating control bridge Poor current potential between the node A and node B of HCB is 0V, which is entered CPU1 via input circuit 2.Moreover, knowing Not Chu Lai self-heating control bridge HCB poor current potential be 0V CPU1 the output of the base stage of transistor Tr is used for via output circuit 3 The output signal (control signal) for the magnitude of current maintained the statusquo.
On the other hand, in the case where deviateing certain temperature (for example, 100 DEG C) by the gas after heating resistor HR heating, Generated between the node A and node B of computer heating control bridge HCB be not 0V poor current potential, which is entered via input circuit 2 CPU1.Moreover, identifying the CPU1 for generating the poor current potential from computer heating control bridge HCB via output circuit 3 to transistor Tr's Output signal (control signal) of the base stage output difference current potential as 0V.
For example, the gas after generation is heated by heating resistor HR is higher than the direction of certain temperature (for example, 100 DEG C) In the case where poor current potential, the control signal for the electric current reduction that CPU1 flows the base stage output of transistor Tr in transistor Tr (output signal).In this regard, being lower than certain temperature (for example, 100 DEG C) direction by the gas after heating resistor HR heating generating Poor current potential in the case where, CPU1 exports the increased control signal of electric current flowed in transistor Tr to the base stage of transistor Tr (output signal).
Such as with upper type, CPU1 carries out feedback control based on the output signal from computer heating control bridge HCB, so that heating control Poor current potential between the node A and node B of bridge HCB processed becomes 0V (equilibrium state).Known to as a result, in present embodiment 1 In flow sensor, certain temperature is controlled as by the gas after heating resistor HR heating.

For example, there are dimensional discrepancys for the thickness of each semiconductor chip CHP1, therefore, in the thickness of semiconductor chip CHP1 In the case where thinner than average thickness, the lead frame equipped with semiconductor chip CHP1 is being clipped with upper mold UM and lower mold BM When LF, gap is generated, resin M R is possible to be leaked on flow testing division FDU from the gap.
On the other hand, in the case where the thickness of semiconductor chip CHP1 is thicker than average thickness, with upper mold UM and When lower mold BM clips the lead frame LF equipped with semiconductor chip CHP1, the power for being applied to semiconductor chip CHP1 becomes larger, and deposits The problem of semiconductor chip CHP1 ruptures.
So in present embodiment 1, in order to prevent to flow caused by the thickness deviation of above-mentioned semiconductor chip CHP1 Resin leakage or the rupture of semiconductor chip CHP1 on test section FDU, were designed in drawing equipped with semiconductor chip CHP1 Wire frame LF and upper mold UM and between be arranged (presence) elastomer thin film LAF and framework FB.As a result, for example, in semiconductor chip In the case that the thickness of CHP1 is thinner than average thickness, clip with upper mold UM and lower mold BM equipped with semiconductor chip When the lead frame LF of CHP1, although generating gap, the gap can be filled with elastomer thin film LAF, therefore, can be prevented Resin leakage on semiconductor chip CHP1.
On the other hand, in the case where the thickness of semiconductor chip CHP1 is thicker than average thickness, with upper mold UM and When lower mold BM clips the lead frame LF equipped with semiconductor chip CHP1, elastomer thin film LAF and framework FB compare semiconductor core Piece CHP1 is soft, and therefore, the size of the thickness direction of elastomer thin film LAF and framework FB changes, so that absorbing semiconductor The thickness of chip CHP1.Even if the thickness of semiconductor chip CHP1 is thicker than average thickness as a result, can also prevent it is required with On to semiconductor chip CHP1 applied force, as a result, the rupture of semiconductor chip CHP1 can be prevented.
That is, the manufacturing method of the flow sensor in 1 according to the present embodiment, semiconductor chip CHP1 by upper mold UM every Elastomer thin film LAF and framework FB squeeze.Therefore, it can be inhaled using the thickness change of elastomer thin film LAF and framework FB Receive the actual installation deviation of component caused by the thickness deviation of semiconductor chip CHP1, jointing material ADH1, lead frame LF.
In particular, in present embodiment 1, it is big in the actual installation deviation of the thickness direction (Z-direction) of component, it can not It is inclined that semiconductor chip CHP1, jointing material ADH1, the thickness of lead frame LF are absorbed using the thickness change of elastomer thin film LAF In the case where the actual installation deviation of component caused by difference, also can be than the elastic of semiconductor chip CHP1 by coefficient of elasticity The deformation of the thickness direction (Z-direction) of the small framework FB of number, to mitigate the grip force for being applied to semiconductor chip CHP1.As a result, root According to present embodiment 1, can prevent the isolating of semiconductor chip CHP1, notch or crackle etc. is the breakage of representative.
Here, the coefficient of elasticity ratio of elastomer thin film LAF and framework FB are partly led for the actual installation deviation of absorption piece The small coefficient of elasticity of body chip CHP1 is important.Even if as a result, in the case where the actual installation deviation with component, Semiconductor chip CHP1 can be applied to effectively to mitigate by the thickness change of elastomer thin film LAF and the deformation of framework FB The grip force from upper mold UM.In other words, in present embodiment 1, the coefficient of elasticity of elastomer thin film LAF and framework FB are than half The coefficient of elasticity of conductor chip CHP1 is small, and the combination of the coefficient of elasticity of elastomer thin film LAF and framework FB is free.Example Such as, the coefficient of elasticity of framework FB can be greatly or more smaller than the coefficient of elasticity of elastomer thin film LAF, or can also phase Together.Except, the high molecular material using Teflon (registered trademark), fluororesin etc. is able to use as elastomer thin film LAF.
As described above, the other function of the framework FB in present embodiment 1 is: the actual installation deviation of suppression component is drawn The increase of the grip force from upper mold UM to semiconductor chip CHP1 risen.Moreover, in order to realize the function, in this embodiment party In formula 1, using the coefficient of elasticity of the framework FB composition smaller than the coefficient of elasticity of semiconductor chip CHP1.As a result, in the reality of component In the presence of the installation deviation of border, it can also pass through the thickness direction of the coefficient of elasticity framework FB smaller than semiconductor chip CHP1 The deformation of (Z-direction), to mitigate the grip force for being applied to semiconductor chip CHP1.As a result, according to the present embodiment 1, it can prevent The isolating of semiconductor chip CHP1, notch or crackle etc. are the breakage of representative.
Then, another feature of present embodiment 1 is illustrated.As shown in figure 11, in present embodiment 1, resin MR also flows into the back side of lead frame LF.Therefore, opening portion OP1 is formed in the bottom of chip carrying portion TAB1 therefore to set sometimes Rouge MR can flow into the inner space of diaphragm DF from opening portion OP1.
So carrying out researching and designing to the shape for the lower mold BM for clipping lead frame LF in present embodiment 1.Specifically For, as shown in figure 11, it is put into part (insert die, insertion mould, insert die) IP1 in lower mold BM formation overshooting shape, is used When upper mold UM and lower mold BM clip lead frame LF, the part IP1 that is put into for being formed in the overshooting shape of lower mold BM is configured to be inserted into It is formed in the opening portion OP1 of the bottom of chip carrying portion TAB1.It is put into part IP1 as a result, seamlessly in insertion opening portion OP1, Thus it is possible to prevent resin M R from the inner space of opening portion OP1 intrusion diaphragm DF.That is, in present embodiment 1, in lower die Tool BM formation overshooting shape is put into part IP1, when carrying out resin-encapsulated, this is put into part IP1 insertion and is formed in chip carrying portion The opening portion OP1 of the bottom of TAB1.
Also, in present embodiment 1, in the carry out researching and designing in shape for being put into part IP1.Specifically, in this implementation In mode 1, it is put into the insertion section and the base portion for supporting the insertion section that part IP1 includes insertion opening portion OP1, the section of base portion Product is formed as bigger than the sectional area of insertion section.Part IP1 is put into as a result, to be formed as being provided with step between insertion section and base portion The structure in portion, the stage portion are close to the bottom surface of chip carrying portion TAB1.
It is put into part IP1 by constituting in the manner described above, following effects can be obtained.For example, only being inserted by above-mentioned In the case where entering the shape that portion's composition is put into part IP1, insertion section is inserted into the OP1 of opening portion, therefore, is put into the insertion of part IP1 The diameter in portion is more slightly smaller than the diameter of opening portion OP1.It is therefore contemplated that be only made of insertion section be put into part IP1 in the case where, even if In the case where the insertion section for being put into part IP1 is inserted into opening portion OP1, between the insertion section being inserted into and opening portion OP1 There are small gaps.In this case, sometimes resin M R from gap intrusion diaphragm DF inner space.
So being put into the base portion that part IP1 is formed as bigger in the sectional area compared with insertion section in present embodiment 1 The upper composition for forming insertion section.In this case, as shown in figure 11, it is inserted into the inside of opening portion OP1 and is put into part IP1's Insertion section, also, the base portion for being put into part IP1 is close to the bottom surface of chip carrying portion TAB1.As a result, even if being put into part When generating small gap between the insertion section and opening portion OP1 of IP1, base portion is also firmly pressed in chip carrying portion The back side of TAB1, thus it is possible to prevent in resin M R intrusion opening portion OP1.That is, being put into part IP1 shape in present embodiment 1 As the composition that insertion section is arranged in the bigger base portion of the sectional area compared with insertion section.So utilizing pedestal by combination Portion makes that resin M R does not reach this point of opening portion OP1 and the stage portion that is formed between base portion and insertion section is pressed against chip and takes This point of load portion TAB1, and the inner space that resin M R invades diaphragm DF via opening portion OP1 can be effectively prevented.
Such as with upper type, in present embodiment 1, with upper mold UM and lower mold BM across second space clip equipped with Carry the lead frame LF of the semiconductor chip CHP1 and semiconductor chip CHP2 of framework FB.Then, in case of heating, make Resin M R flows into the second space, is formed with the semiconductor chip CHP1's near pad PD1 in region with resin M R encapsulation Surface, the entire surface of the interarea of metal wire W1, lead LD1, metal wire W2, semiconductor chip CHP2, metal wire W3 and lead LD2 A part.
Then, as shown in figure 12, in the stage of resin M R hardening, take out from upper mold UM and lower mold BM equipped with half The lead frame LF of conductor chip CHP1 and semiconductor chip CHP2.Thereby, it is possible to manufacture the flow sensor in present embodiment 1 FS1。
In addition, using 80 DEG C or more of high-temperatures in the resin-encapsulated process (injection step) in present embodiment 1 Upper mold UM and lower mold BM, therefore, heat are passed to note from the upper mold UM and lower mold BM being heated in a short time Enter the resin M R to second space.As a result, the manufacturing method of the flow sensor FS1 in 1 according to the present embodiment, can contract The heat hardening time of short resin M R.
For example, only implementing to utilize filling as illustrated in the column of invention technical problem to be solved Resin carry out gold thread (metal wire) fixation in the case where, casting resin without based on heating caused by harden promotion, So the problem of time until casting resin hardening is elongated, and the productivity in the manufacturing process of flow sensor reduces becomes It obtains significantly.
In this regard, in the resin-encapsulated process in present embodiment 1, as described above, because using the upper mold being heated Therefore UM and lower mold BM can transmit heat, energy from the upper mold UM and lower mold BM being heated to resin M R in a short time Enough shorten the heat hardening time of resin M R.As a result, according to the present embodiment 1, it can be improved the manufacture of flow sensor FS1 Productivity in process.
In present embodiment 1, for example, as shown in figure 11, clip with upper mold UM and lower mold BM equipped with partly leading It is framed to being arranged between lead frame LF and upper mold UM equipped with semiconductor chip CHP1 when the lead frame LF of body chip CHP1 The example of body FB and elastomer thin film LAF are illustrated.Wherein, the technical idea in present embodiment 1 is without being limited thereto, example Such as, as shown in figure 13, it is also configured to, does not use elastomer thin film LAF, framework FB is only set, upper mold UM is pressed In the lead frame LF equipped with semiconductor chip CHP1.
Even if in this case, being also configured to the elasticity system for making the coefficient of elasticity of framework FB less than semiconductor chip CHP1 Number, even if can also utilize the bullet compared with semiconductor chip CHP1 in the presence of the actual installation deviation of component as a result, The deformation of the thickness direction (Z-direction) of the small framework FB of property coefficient, to mitigate the grip force for being applied to semiconductor chip CHP1.It is tied Fruit, according to the present embodiment 1, can prevent the isolating of semiconductor chip CHP1, notch or crackle etc. is the breakage of representative.
The serviceability > of < framework
Then, having for the framework FB employed in the flow sensor FS1 in present embodiment 1 is further stated in detail The property used.
(1) Figure 14 is the figure for indicating to carry out an example of the relevant technologies of resin-encapsulated without using framework FB.Such as Figure 14 It is shown, in the related art, it is configured to not carry out resin-encapsulated to flow testing division FDU, therefore, is provided in upper mold UM and is in The sealing SL of shape for lugs.Moreover, flow testing division FDU is surrounded by the sealing (encapsulation part) SL, it therefore, can be to surround The mode of flow testing division FDU forms the first space S P1 (confined space).In other words, in the related art, by upper mold is arranged in The sealing SL for having UM surrounds flow testing division FDU, thus not by flow testing division FDU resin-encapsulated.
It is such as being constituted in the related technology with upper type, is needing particularly to be arranged in upper mold UM in the close of shape for lugs Envelope portion SL is designed and (i.e., works hard).That is, needing to prepare to manufacture the flow sensor for exposing flow testing division FDU The specialized special mold UM in the manufacture of flow sensor.Therefore, it is necessary to prepare to have sealing SL it is special on Mold UM.
In this regard, in present embodiment 1, for example, as shown in figure 13, framework FB is configured on semiconductor chip CHP1, with Upper mold UM is pressed with the framework FB mode being close to.At this point, being configured on semiconductor chip CHP1 in present embodiment 1 In the case where having framework FB, the composition of height of the height higher than flow testing division FDU of framework FB can be obtained.That is, by making The height of framework FB is higher than the height of flow testing division FDU, can necessarily ensure to surround flow testing division FDU and its near zone The first space S P1 (confined space).Therefore, according to the present embodiment 1, flow testing division FDU and its near zone can be made Expose, and will be encapsulated by the surface region of the semiconductor chip CHP1 of representative of pad forming region.
In other words, in present embodiment 1, with (including) flow inspection built-in in the opening portion OP (FB) for being set to framework FB The mode of survey portion FDU configures framework FB on semiconductor chip CHP1, and the height of framework FB is made to be higher than flow testing division FDU Height.As a result, can necessarily ensure to surround flow inspection in the state that the surface for the upper mold UM being located in hole is flat The first space S P1 (confined space) of survey portion FDU.That is, according to the present embodiment 1, for example, do not need as the relevant technologies The special design of upper mold UM setting sealing SL, it will be able to which the first space S P1 for ensuring to surround flow testing division FDU is (close Close space).
This means that do not need the upper mold UM using special structure using present embodiment 1, be able to use for pair The whole general upper mold UM (general part) for carrying out resin-encapsulated in hole, it is meant that be able to use one as general part As upper mold UM come manufacture make flow testing division FDU expose flow sensor FS1.Therefore, according to the present embodiment 1, no Need to prepare the dedicated upper mold UM of the flow sensor for having descended the special time and (being specifically designed), it can be by extensive The upper mold UM of the usually used universal architecture in ground, to manufacture the flow sensor for exposing flow testing division FDU.
(2) then, shown in Figure 14 in the related technology, semiconductor chip CHP1 be formed directly into the close of upper mold UM Envelope portion SL contact.Therefore, grip force is transmitted to semiconductor chip CHP1 from the sealing SL for being formed in upper mold UM.
Here, for example, there are dimensional discrepancys in the thickness of each semiconductor chip CHP1, therefore, in semiconductor chip In the case that the thickness of CHP1 is thicker than average thickness, clip when with upper mold UM and lower mold BM equipped with semiconductor chip When the lead frame LF of CHP1, the grip force for being applied to semiconductor chip CHP1 from sealing SL becomes larger, sometimes semiconductor chip CHP1 It ruptures.
In this regard, abutting upper mold UM with direct semiconductor chip CHP1 in present embodiment 1, framework FB is made to be situated between Between upper mold UM and semiconductor chip CHP1.Moreover, being led using the coefficient of elasticity of framework FB than partly in present embodiment 1 Body chip CHP1 small material.Therefore, framework FB is softer than semiconductor chip CHP1, therefore, upper mold UM is being pressed into framework In the case where FB, the size of the thickness direction of framework FB changes, so that absorbing the thickness deviation of semiconductor chip CHP1. Even if the thickness of semiconductor chip CHP1 is thicker than average thickness as a result, can also prevent more than needing to semiconductor chip CHP1 applies grip force.As a result, according to the present embodiment 1, the rupture of semiconductor chip CHP1 can be prevented.
(3) the sealing SL and semiconductor chip of upper mold UM also, shown in Figure 14 in the related technology, are formed in The contact area of CHP1 is small.Therefore, concentrate on sealing SL's and semiconductor chip CHP1 by the grip force pressed from upper mold UM Contact area.Therefore, the pressure for being applied to the contact portion of sealing SL and semiconductor chip CHP1 becomes larger, and partly leads as a result, Body chip CHP1 becomes easy breakage.In particular, shown in Figure 14 in the related technology, sealing SL and semiconductor chip CHP1 Contact area be formed in the region being overlapped with diaphragm DF plane.This means that the region thin in the thickness of semiconductor chip CHP1 There are the contact areas of sealing SL and semiconductor chip CHP1.The thin region of the thickness of semiconductor chip CHP1 is easy to isolate, So shown in Figure 14 in the related technology, pressure collection caused by the contact area of sealing SL and semiconductor chip CHP1 are small In and contact area be configured to caused by area coincidence thin with the thickness of semiconductor chip CHP1 when looking down, semiconductor Chip CHP1 is easy breakage.
In this regard, in present embodiment 1, for example, as shown in figure 13, the contact area of framework FB and semiconductor chip CHP1 Become larger compared with the relevant technologies shown in Figure 14.Therefore, the grip force of framework FB is applied to from upper mold UM, because of framework FB and half The contact area of conductor chip CHP1 is larger and is dispersed.Therefore, according to the present embodiment 1, can mitigate via framework FB from Upper mold UM is applied to the concentration of local of the grip force of semiconductor chip CHP1, and thereby, it is possible to inhibit breaking for semiconductor chip CHP1 Damage.Also, for example, as shown in figure 13, the contact area of framework FB and semiconductor chip CHP1 is not heavy with diaphragm DF when overlooking It closes.That is, the contact area of framework FB and semiconductor chip CHP1, which are not formed in, is formed with diaphragm DF's in present embodiment 1 The thin region of the thickness of semiconductor chip CHP1, and it is formed in the region of the thickness thickness of other semiconductor chip CHP1.According to Above situation, according to the present embodiment 1, it is pressed from both sides caused by the increase using the contact area of framework FB and semiconductor chip CHP1 Power is dispersed this point and contact area is formed in the synergistic effect of this point of the region of thickness thickness of semiconductor chip CHP1, Neng Gouyou Effect ground inhibits the breakage of semiconductor chip CHP1.
(4) in addition, it is as described above, shown in Figure 14 in the related technology, sealing SL and semiconductor chip CHP1's Contact area is smaller, so the resin injected is released into the first space S P1's (confined space) for surrounding flow testing division FDU Danger is got higher.
In this regard, the contact area of framework FB and semiconductor chip CHP1 become larger in present embodiment 1, so can drop It is low to flow into the danger for surrounding the first space S P1 (confined space) of flow testing division FDU.
As described above, according to the present embodiment 1, height and elasticity by using height higher than flow testing division FDU are The framework FB of coefficient of elasticity of the number less than semiconductor chip CHP1, can obtain serviceability shown in above-mentioned (1)~(4).
1 > of < variation
Then, the variation 1 of the flow sensor FS1 in above embodiment 1 is illustrated.In above embodiment In 1, for example, as shown in figure 4, framework FB is illustrated with the example of wall portion WP, but in this variation 1, to The example that framework FB is not provided with wall portion WP is illustrated.

As shown in Figure 15 (b) and Figure 15 (c), wall portion is formed without in the framework FB configured on semiconductor chip CHP1. Even if using the framework FB for being formed without wall portion in the manner described above, when the height of framework FB is higher than flow testing division The height of FDU and when the coefficient of elasticity of framework FB is less than the coefficient of elasticity of semiconductor chip CHP1, can obtain and above-mentioned implementation The identical effect of mode 1.
Wherein, in the framework FB in this variation 1, it is difficult to realize the raising of the positioning accuracy carried out by wall portion, so Being securely fixed framework FB on semiconductor chip CHP1, framework FB preferably in this variation 1 with partly lead Body chip CHP1 bonding.At this point, the bonding of framework FB and semiconductor chip CHP1 are for example able to use jointing material, it can also benefit Framework FB is constituted with the material with adhesive effect.
In addition, for example, the outer dimension of framework FB be greater than semiconductor chip CHP1 outer dimension in the case where, sometimes Deviate because of the resin pressure in resin-encapsulated process (injection step) position of framework FB.It is preferred, therefore, that such as framework FB Outer dimension is less than the outer dimension of semiconductor chip CHP1.In other words, can preferably framework FB be formed as when overlook when it is built-in (including) (surround/is included by semiconductor chip CHP1) in semiconductor chip CHP1.In turn, in other words, the shape of framework FB Size can be smaller than the outer dimension on the perspective plane of the upper surface of semiconductor chip CHP1.By constituting in the manner described above, can press down Deviate the position of framework FB caused by resin pressure in resin-encapsulated process processed.
Figure 16 is the figure for indicating a section of the flow sensor in this variation 1.As shown in figure 16 it is found that framework FB Built-in (including) (surround/is included) in semiconductor chip CHP1 by semiconductor chip CHP1.Specifically, being enabled in Figure 16 In the case that the width of semiconductor chip CHP1 is L1, the width of framework is L2, L1 > L2 relationship in all interfaces In the case where establishment, framework FB can built-in (including) (surround/included by semiconductor chip CHP1) in semiconductor chip CHP1.
2 > of < variation
Then, the variation 2 of the flow sensor FS1 in above embodiment 1 is illustrated.In above embodiment In 1, for example, being carried on chip carrying portion TAB1 via jointing material (adhesive) ADH1 as shown in Fig. 5 (b), Fig. 5 (c) Semiconductor chip CHP1 on configure framework FB example be illustrated.In this variation 2, in semiconductor chip CHP1 and Example inserted with plate-like structure PLT between lead frame LF is illustrated.
Figure 17 is the plan view for indicating the structure of the flow sensor in this variation 2 before resin-encapsulated.Figure 18 is Figure 17 With line A-A cut off sectional view, Figure 19 be Figure 17 with line B-B cut off sectional view.
As shown in figure 17 it is found that flow sensor FS1 in this variation 2, throughout semiconductor chip CHP1 lower layer and The lower layer of semiconductor chip CHP2 forms plate-like structure PLT.Plate-like structure PLT such as rectangular shaped has to work as and bow Apparent time includes the outer dimension of (surrounding) semiconductor chip CHP1 and semiconductor chip CHP2.
Specifically, as shown in Figure 18, Figure 19, in the lead frame comprising chip carrying portion TAB1 and chip carrying portion TAB2 Plate-like structure PLT is configured on LF.Plate-like structure PLT is for example bonded using jointing material ADH3 and lead frame LF, still Also creamy material is able to use to be bonded.Moreover, via jointing material ADH1 equipped with semiconductor on plate-like structure PLT Chip CHP1, also, via jointing material ADH2 equipped with semiconductor chip CHP2.At this point, plate-like structure PLT is by metal material It in the case that material is formed, can also be connect by metal wire W1 with semiconductor chip CHP1, also, pass through metal wire W2 semiconductor It is connect with chip CHP2.In addition, can also mounting condenser, temperature-sensitive other than above-mentioned plate-like structure PLT on lead frame LF The component of resistance etc..
Above-mentioned plate-like structure PLT is improved mainly as the rigidity of flow sensor FS1, from the slow of external impact Rush materials serve effect.Also, in the case where plate-like structure PLT is constructed from a material that be electrically conducting, with semiconductor chip CHP1 (weldering Disk PD1), semiconductor chip CHP2 (pad PD2) electrical connection, can be used in the supply of earthing potential (reference potential), also can It is grounded the stabilisation of current potential.
Plate-like structure PLT can be by such as PBT resin, ABS rouge, PC resin, nylon resin, PS resin, PP resin, fluorine The thermosetting resin of thermoplastic resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, the polyurethane resin of resin etc. etc. is constituted.In the feelings Under condition, plate-like structure PLT can be mainly as protecting semiconductor chip CHP1, semiconductor chip CHP2 not by from external punching The padded coaming for the influence hit and function.
On the other hand, plate-like structure PLT can by the metal material to ferroalloy, aluminium alloy or copper alloy etc. into Row punch process and formed, can also be formed by glass material.In particular, forming plate-like structure PLT's by metal material In the case of, it can be improved the rigidity of flow sensor FS1.Also, lead plate-like structure PLT with semiconductor chip CHP1, partly Plate-like structure PLT, can be also used for the supply of ground potential, the stabilisation of ground potential by body chip CHP2 electrical connection.
In the flow sensor FS1 in the variation 2 constituted in the manner described above, for example, as shown in Figure 17~Figure 19, Framework FB is configured on semiconductor chip CHP1.Moreover, the inside of framework FB is formed with opening portion OP (FB), it is formed in semiconductor The flow testing division FDU of chip CHP1 exposes from opening portion OP (FB).In this variation 2, by the height for making framework FB Height higher than flow testing division FDU and the coefficient of elasticity of framework FB is made to be less than semiconductor chip CHP1, can also obtain with it is upper State the identical effect of embodiment 1.
