A plurality of pads 5 are formed on one nice of the semiconductor package 1 as external terminals with respect to the printed wiring board 2. The shape of each 10 pad S is determined by a solder resist 6. plurality of electrodes are formed on the component mounting side of the printed wiring board 2. The pad 5 and the electrode 7 respectively oppose te are connected vi a the solder ball 3. A solder resists 8 are fanned or: the printed w::ring lS board 2 so that the operating is fonned by the E,older resist a and electrode 7. The resin fillets 4 are formed so that they cover parts formed by both of the solder balls 3 and the opening by the solder resists O. Each the resin fillet 4 is slightly expanded on the side of TV the solder ball 3 as shown in FIG. 3.
The first embodiment of the solder connect assembly shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 will be described in detail below.
The plural pace as external terminals are formed on one side of the semiconductor package 1. They normally have !5 structure called a ball grid array (BOA) or a chip-eized
package (CSP). The internal configuration of the semiconductor package is not parts cularly limited and for the internal connecting method, a package according to various methods such as wire bor,ding connecting S method, a flip-chip mounting method and a TAN connecting method can be also applied.
The end of each the pad 5 on the semlconcluctor package 1 is covered with the solder resist 6. The shape of each the pad 5 is determined by the shape of the 10 opening of the solder resins 6.
In the meantime, as the printed wiring board 2 is made of glass epoxy, a plurality of electrodes 7 are fonned on the component mounting side of the printed wiring board 2. The surface of the printed wiring board 15 2 is covered with the solder resist 8 and the periphery of the electrode 7 is open so that the electrode 7 is not covered with the solder resist 8. The pads 5 and the electrodes 7 are connected via the solder balls 3. The sectional shape of the solder ball 3 is a barrel shape.
20 The resin fillets 4 are formed so that they cover parts formed by both of the solder balls 3 and the opening of the solder resist 8 on the side of the printed wiring board 2 and is slightly expanded on the side of the solder balls 3. The resin fillets 4 are mainly made !5 of resin or a reactant of rosin. For an example of the
resin fillets 4, a resin fillet mainly made of a reactant OF abietic acid such as neoabietic acid and pyroablet-c acid can be given.
In the method of connecting a solder connect 5 assembly of the first embodiment, cream solder is supplied on the electrode 7 of the printed wiring board 2 by a printing method. The cream solder is supplied in the same shape as the electrode 7 on the printed wiring board 2. The used cream solder includes rosin which is 10 the major component of the resin fillets a. Next, the semiconductor package 1 is positioned by the component mounting machine provided with the image recogultlon device and is mounted on the prluted wiring board 2.
Further, rosin coheres in the vicinity of a connection 15 between the solder balls 3 and the printed wiring board 2 by coollug and solidifying cream solder after melting it by reflow. As a result, the solder connect assembly shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 wherein the resin filets are formed in the vicinity of a connection between the solder 20 ball and the printed wiring board 2, is acquired.
An described above, according to the first embodiment, the following effect is produced.
The first effect of the present invention is chat the reliability in connection of the solder ball S connection can be enhanced. In addition, even if a
problem occurs in the semiconductor package 1, the semiconductor package 1 can be replaced for repairing.
The reason is that reliability in connection can be enhanced because stress applied to a part at the base of 5 the solder baffle 3 due to mechanical shock and/or thermal change is dispersed by the resin fillets 4 formed at the foot of the solder balls with respect to the printed wiring board Z and as a result, stress does not concentrate at the part at the base of the solder ball 3.
10 Further, the reason is that the package can be replaced because the semiconductor package 1 can be detached by melting the solder balls 3.
The second effect is that the diameter of the electrode 7 on the side of the printed wirlug board 2 can 15 be reduced in contrast to the conventional solder connect assembly. Hereby, the width of a wire and the width of clearance between wires can be increased in case the electrodes are wired and in other cases when the surface wiring of the printed wiring board 2 is formed 20 and the manufacture of the printed wiring board 2 is facilitated. As a result, the printed wiring board 2 the yield and the duality of which are high and the cost of which is low can be used.
In case the package is normally connected to the 25 printed wiring board via the solder balls, strews is not
applied to either of the package or the printed wiring board by equalizing the diameter of the pad c of the package l and that of the electrode 1 of the printed wiring board 2. In contrast, the present invention can 5 make the diameter of the electrode 7 smaller than that of the pad 5, because stress applied at the base of the solder ball 3 with respect to the electrode is reduced.
The third effect is that stress is reduced by the resin fillets 4 on the side of the printed wiring board 2 10 of the solder ball connection and reliability in connection higher than that in a conventional type can be acquired even if the diameter of the electrode 7 is smaller than that of the electrode in the conventional solder connect assembly.
15 The fourth effect is that the connection by the solder balls can be prevented from being broken in a process for storage and carriage until the clearance between the package l and the printed wiring board 2 is finally filled With the underfiling resin 9 and the resin 20 is cured, in an stippling resin process and in a underfiling resin curing process. The reason is the same as the reason in the first effect.

For the solder balls 3, eutectic solder composed of Sn and Pb is normally used, however, the solder balls 3 is not limited to the above solder and solder including tin (Sn) or lead (Pb) and Pb free solder can be also applied. In the second 15 embodiment, the same effect as the effect in the first embodiment is also acquired.
3. Third Embodiment In this embodiment, a solder resist 8 covers the end of an electrode 7 as shown in FIG. 5 and the shape of 20 the electrode 7 is determined based upon the shape of the opening of the solder resist 8. A resin fillet 4 is formed on the solder resist 8. in this case, the same effect as the effect in the first embodiment is also acquired. 25 It is clear that the shape chat the side of the
- 12 semiconductor package i is slightly thinner of the solder ball 3 shown in the second embodiment can be applied to the first and third embodiments.
In the third embodiment, a printed wiring board 2 5 is made of glass epoxy, however, the material is not limited to glass epoxy, and a ceramic board, a glass ceramic board, a flexible board, a thin film hoard and others can be also applied. For the solder ball 3, eutectic solder composed of Sn and PL Is normally used, lo however, the solder ball is not limited to the above solder and solder including Sn or Pb and Pb-free solder can be also applied.
Further, the resin fillet 4 is also not limited to rosin and epoxy resin or a reactant of epoxy resin may be 15 also a major component For an example of the resin fillet 4 composed of epoxy resin, a resin fillet mainly made of a reactant of mixture of bisphenol A and dicarboxylic acid can be givers is embodiment produces effect that if epoxy resin or a reactant of epoxy resin 20 is a major component, the elastic modulus of the resin fillet 4 itself s lower than that in the first embodiment, the resin fillet has flexibility, even it stress is applied to the resin fillet, a crack is hardly made in the resin fillet and as a result, resistance to 25 s tress is further enhanced.
- 13 . Fourth Ernbodimerlt In the f ourth eTrI>odiment, clearance between a semiconductor package l and a printed wiring board 2 is filled with underfiling resin 9 as shown in FIG. 6.
