Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the warpage of a semiconductor device caused by synthetic resin sealing. SOLUTION: On a chip substrate 2 made of a synthetic resin, a plurality of semiconductor chips 4 are mutually bonded and fixed at intervals. On the chip substrate 2 around at least each semiconductor chip 4, a synthetic resin 18 that is heated for fluidizing is filled. After the filled synthetic resin 18 is cooled for curing, the synthetic resin 18 and the chip substrate 2 are cut between adjacent semiconductor chips 4 for obtaining each semiconductor device 20. At that time, on a region on the chip substrate 2 other than a place where the semiconductor chip 4 is fixed, an invar plate 12 where a coefficient of thermal expansion is small or negative is extended for bonding and fixing to the chip substrate 2 in advance. The synthetic resin 18 after the curing and chip substrate 2 is cut so that the plate 12 is not included in each semiconductor device 20.

2. Description of the Related Art As one mounting form of a semiconductor chip,
A method is used in which a semiconductor chip is bonded and fixed on a chip substrate made of a synthetic resin, and the periphery or the whole of the semiconductor chip is sealed with the synthetic resin. A synthetic resin for sealing a semiconductor chip is heated and melted, and is supplied in a fluidized state around the semiconductor chip. Then, at a stage where the temperature of the synthetic resin is lowered and cured, the synthetic resin and the chip substrate are cut into individual semiconductor devices for each semiconductor chip.

Incidentally, the chip substrate, the chip, and the synthetic resin for sealing have different thermal expansion coefficients. Particularly, the synthetic resin for sealing has a large shrinkage rate upon cooling. On the same principle as the deformation, the entire chip substrate is warped in a state of being convex toward the chip substrate. Such warpage occurs not only before cutting but also in a state where individual semiconductor devices are cut by cutting. As a result, when the semiconductor device is mounted on a printed circuit board and joined by solder balls, the warpage between the semiconductor devices and the solder balls occurs. In some cases, a gap may be formed in the wire, resulting in poor bonding.
