DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention The above-mentioned prior art, that is, the BGA disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,216,278, JP-A-6-504408, JP-A-6-224259 and JP-A-6-224259. In the CSP disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. -302604, when the pitch of the external terminals becomes narrow,
When inspecting the characteristics or reliability of a semiconductor device, it becomes difficult to bring the inspection probe into accurate contact with the external terminal to be inspected. This is because, while the inspection probe has a certain thickness, it is impossible to simultaneously apply the inspection probe to a plurality of external terminals due to the narrow pitch of the external terminals. Therefore, it becomes difficult to perform an accurate inspection, which hinders high integration, high pin count, and miniaturization of the semiconductor device.

Further, as a test for checking the reliability of a semiconductor device, a burn-in test is generally performed in which the semiconductor device is operated at a high temperature for a long time to confirm that the characteristics of the semiconductor device are not deteriorated. When a burn-in test, which is an inspection under high temperature, is performed on a semiconductor device according to the technology, an intermetallic compound generated at the time of bonding abnormally grows to lower the bonding strength, and the connection reliability of external terminals may be significantly deteriorated. In particular, this is likely to occur when the metal bump as the external terminal is solder or when another metal is joined by solder. In addition, if it is found that the semiconductor device does not operate normally in the inspection process after bonding the metal bumps as the external terminals, the metal bump bonding process is completely wasted.

A first object of the present invention is to accurately inspect the characteristics or reliability even if the pitch of the external terminals is narrowed, and to achieve high integration, high pin count, and miniaturization without hindrance. It is to provide a semiconductor device that can be realized and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device.

A second object of the present invention is that even if the pitch of the external terminals is narrowed, the characteristics or reliability can be accurately inspected, and the connection reliability of the external terminals can be improved even by the inspection at high temperature. Highly integrated without any deterioration,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device capable of achieving multi-pinization and miniaturization, and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device.

[0010]

In order to achieve the first object, according to the present invention, a semiconductor element, an insulating member having a wiring pattern on the surface, and at least a circuit forming surface of the semiconductor element are provided. In a semiconductor device having a covering sealing member, the wiring pattern is electrically connected to an electrode of the semiconductor element, and the wiring pattern is connected to an external terminal composed of a metal bump. A semiconductor device is provided in which an inspection terminal is electrically connected via the wiring pattern.

In the present invention constructed as described above,
Even if the pitch of the external terminals is narrow, the inspection terminals are electrically connected to the external terminals made of metal bumps that are connected to the electrodes of the semiconductor element via the wiring patterns, and also to the external terminals via the wiring patterns. The pitch can be made wider regardless of the pitch and arrangement of the external terminals.
Therefore, when inspecting the characteristics or reliability of the semiconductor device, the inspection probe can be accurately brought into contact with the plurality of inspection terminals, and the inspection can be performed accurately.

It is desirable that the external terminal is located near the center of the insulating member, and the inspection terminal is located near the insulating member. By arranging the inspection terminals near the insulating member in this way, the pitch of the inspection terminals (distance between adjacent inspection terminals) is wider than the pitch of external terminals (distance between adjacent external terminals). It becomes possible to do.

Further, in the present invention, preferably, the external terminal is provided on the wiring pattern on the insulating member around the semiconductor element, and the inspection terminal is provided further outside the external terminal. Even with such a configuration, the pitch of the inspection terminals can be widened.

Further, according to the present invention, a part of the insulating member is stacked on the semiconductor element, and then the external pattern is provided on the wiring pattern on the insulating member stacked on the semiconductor element. . With such a configuration, the size of the semiconductor device itself can be reduced to almost the same size as the size of the semiconductor element, and the size can be reduced.

Further, in the present invention, since the pitch of the external terminals and the pitch of the detection terminals can be set separately, the pitch of the external terminals can be set to 1 mm or less. Estimating from the dimensions of a normal inspection probe, it is considered impossible to apply the inspection probe to a plurality of terminals at the same time when the pitch of the external terminals is 1 mm or less. Does not occur.

Further, according to the present invention, in addition to all the above-mentioned inspection terminals used for the inspection, that is, the semiconductor device from which the unnecessary inspection terminals are removed, or the inspection terminals, Provided is a semiconductor device in which a part of the insulating member on which the terminal for use is placed is also cut off.

Further, in the present invention, preferably, a slit is formed at least between the external terminal and the inspection terminal in the insulating member, and the wiring pattern is provided so as to bridge the slit. With this, after the inspection by the inspection terminal, when cutting off a part of the insulating member on which the inspection terminal and the inspection terminal are mounted, it is sufficient to cut only a place other than the slit, and the cutting load can be reduced, Problems such as separation of the wiring pattern and the insulating member at the time of cutting can be avoided. Further, according to the present invention, all the inspection terminals used for the inspection and a part of the insulating member on which the inspection terminals are mounted are cut off from the slit positions as described above. Will be provided.

In the present invention, the external terminals may be made of solder, the wiring pattern may be made of copper foil, or a plating layer may be provided on the surface of the wiring pattern and the outermost layer of the plating layer may be made of gold.

Further, the insulating member may be a tape made of a resin material or a printed circuit board made of an insulating material.

Further, according to the present invention, in order to achieve the above-mentioned first object, a semiconductor element, an insulating member having a wiring pattern on its surface, and at least a circuit forming surface of the semiconductor element are sealed. In a semiconductor device having a member, the wiring pattern is electrically connected to an electrode of the semiconductor element, and the wiring pattern is connected to an external terminal formed of a metal bump, the wiring pattern is an insulating member. A semiconductor device is provided, which extends to the outer peripheral edge and has a wiring pattern that is interrupted at the outer peripheral edge of the insulating member.

Further, according to the present invention, in order to achieve the above-mentioned first object, a wiring pattern is provided on the surface of the insulating member, and the wiring pattern is electrically connected to the electrode of the semiconductor element, and at least the semiconductor element is provided. In the method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the circuit formation surface of which is covered with a sealing member, and an external terminal formed of a metal bump is connected to the wiring pattern, and an inspection terminal is electrically connected to the external terminal through the wiring pattern. Then, a semiconductor device is inspected by using the inspection terminals, and then all the inspection terminals are removed.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned second object,
According to the present invention, a wiring pattern is provided on the surface of the insulating member,
In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, in which the wiring pattern is electrically connected to an electrode of a semiconductor element and at least a circuit forming surface of the semiconductor element is covered with a sealing member, the electrode of the semiconductor element is inspected through the wiring pattern. Characterized in that the terminals are electrically connected, the semiconductor device is inspected by using the inspection terminals, external terminals made of metal bumps are connected to the wiring pattern, and all the inspection terminals are removed. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The inspection using the inspection terminal may be a burn-in test for inspecting the reliability of the semiconductor device at a high temperature.

According to this structure, since the external terminals made of metal bumps are not connected to the wiring pattern at the time of the inspection, even when the inspection at a high temperature such as a burn-in test is performed, As you can see, there is no concern about deterioration of the connection reliability of external terminals. Further, when an abnormality of the semiconductor device is found in the inspection process, the semiconductor device itself can be discarded as a defective product, so that there is no need to connect external terminals and the manufacturing process is not wasted.

[0024]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a plan view of the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a wiring pattern 3 formed using, for example, a copper foil is provided on the surface of the insulating member 2, and a rectangular opening provided at the center of the insulating member 2 has a rectangular opening. The semiconductor element 1 is housed. The inner tip of the wiring pattern 3 is connected to the electrode 4 of the semiconductor element 1, and the circuit forming surface and the side surface of the semiconductor element 1 are sealed with a sealing resin 7. External terminals 6 are provided on the wiring pattern 3 so as to surround the semiconductor element 1 in two rows, and inspection terminals 5 are provided in the peripheral portion of the insulating member 2. The external terminals 6 are metal bumps, and solder is suitable as a material thereof.
The inspection terminal 5 and the external terminal 6 are paired, and are electrically connected to each other by the wiring pattern 3. The insulating member 2 is made of a tape-shaped resin material and has sprocket holes 8 for positioning at both ends thereof. In addition,
For simplification, FIG. 1 shows a state in which the sealing resin 7 is removed (hereinafter, the same applies to FIGS. 5 and 7). Also,
A plating layer may be provided on the surface of the wiring pattern 3 and the outermost layer of the plating layer may be made of gold.

In the case of inspecting the characteristics or reliability of a semiconductor device, it has conventionally been necessary to apply an inspection probe to an external terminal to establish electrical conduction. For this reason, when the pitch of the external terminals becomes smaller due to the higher integration, the larger number of pins, and the smaller size of the semiconductor device, since the inspection probe has a certain thickness, it is possible to simultaneously inspect a plurality of terminals. It becomes impossible to apply the probe for. This prevents the terminal pitch of the semiconductor device having the metal bumps as external terminals from being narrowed, and thus the high integration of the semiconductor device itself,
This has been one of the causes of hindering the increase in pin count and miniaturization. Estimating from the dimensions of a normal inspection probe, the above inconvenience cannot be ignored when the pitch of the external terminals is 1 mm or less.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the inspection terminals 5 are provided in the peripheral portion of the insulating member 2, the pitch of the inspection terminals 5 is separate from the pitch of the external terminals 6 and larger than that. Can be set. Therefore, even if the pitch of the external terminals 6 becomes narrower, the inspection probe can be accurately applied to the desired inspection terminals 5 regardless of the pitch of the external terminals 6, and the high accuracy of the semiconductor device itself. Integration,
It does not hinder the increase in pin count and miniaturization.

When an external terminal is inspected as in the conventional case, the external terminal for actually making an actual electrical connection to the outside is originally damaged by applying an inspection probe to the external terminal. There is a concern that the external terminals 6 and the inspection terminals 5 may be deteriorated in reliability during connection (mounting) with external parts, but in the present embodiment, the external terminals 6 and the inspection terminals 5 are separated from each other. The reliability of the connection can be improved.

When the inspection of the characteristics and reliability of the semiconductor device is completed, the inspection terminals 5 are no longer necessary, but all of the inspection terminals 5 after the inspection and the insulating member 2 on which the inspection terminals 5 are mounted are The part (peripheral part) is finally cut and removed. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device in the state where the cutting and the removal are completed. At this stage, as is clear from FIG.
The wiring pattern 3 connecting the external terminal 6 and the inspection terminal 5 is extended to the outer peripheral end of the insulating member 2, and the wiring pattern 3 is interrupted at that position.

The tape-shaped insulating member 2 as in this embodiment
Is advantageous in that the semiconductor device itself can be thinned. A polyimide resin or the like is suitable as a specific resin material for the tape-shaped insulating member 2. However, since the tape-shaped insulating member is thin and warps easily, a printed circuit board made of an insulating material may be used instead of the tape-shaped one when the warpage becomes a problem.

According to this embodiment as described above, the inspection terminal 5 is electrically connected to the external terminal 6 connected to the electrode 4 of the semiconductor element 1 via the wiring pattern 3, and the inspection terminal is also connected. Since 5 is provided in the peripheral portion of the insulating member 2, the pitch of the inspection terminals 5 can be made larger than the pitch of the external terminals 6, and even if the pitch of the external terminals 6 becomes narrow, the inspection probe can be mounted on the desired inspection terminal 5. It can be applied and the inspection can be performed accurately. Therefore, it is possible to realize the high integration, the high pin count, and the miniaturization of the semiconductor device without hindering them.

Further, since the external terminal 6 and the inspection terminal 5 are separated, the inspection probe does not damage the external terminal 6 and the reliability of the external connection by the external terminal 6 is improved. Can be achieved.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. However, in this embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device will be mainly described.

In this embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 4A, the steps up to the step of providing external terminals are carried out, and the external terminals are not provided on the external terminal lands 6a of the wiring pattern 3. deep. The configuration of the semiconductor device other than this is shown in FIG.
2 is similar to that shown in FIG.
The same members as those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4B, the inspection probe 20 is brought into contact with the inspection bump 5 to perform the inspection. The inspection in this case includes both the inspection for examining the characteristics of the semiconductor device and the inspection for examining the reliability, as in the first embodiment.
In particular, as a test for checking the reliability, as described above, a burn-in test is generally performed to operate the semiconductor device at a high temperature for a long time to confirm that the semiconductor device does not deteriorate. After this inspection is completed, FIG.
External terminals (metal bumps) 6 are provided on the external terminal lands 6a as shown in FIG. After that, as shown in FIG. 4D, the inspection terminals 5 and a part (peripheral portion) of the insulating member 2 on which the inspection terminals 5 are mounted are cut and removed.

In this embodiment as described above, since the inspection is performed before the external terminals 6 are provided on the external terminal lands 6a of the wiring pattern 3, even if the inspection is a high temperature inspection such as a burn-in test. There is no fear of deterioration of the connection reliability of the external terminals 6 due to abnormal growth of intermetallic compounds as in the conventional case. Further, if the inspection process is performed after the external terminals 6 are joined, and as a result, it is found that the semiconductor device does not operate normally, the external terminal 6 joining process is wasted after all, but In the embodiment, when an abnormality of the semiconductor device is found in the inspection process, the semiconductor device itself can be discarded as a defective product, so that there is no need to connect the external terminal 6, and the wasteful manufacturing process is eliminated. It can be omitted.

Since the external terminal 6 is not damaged by the inspection probe during the inspection, the reliability of the external terminal 6 connection to the outside can be improved.

A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. 5 is a plan view of the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment. In this embodiment, a slit 9 is formed in the insulating member 2A between the external terminal 6 and the inspection terminal 5, and the wiring pattern 3 is provided so as to bridge the slit 9. The slits 9 adjacent to each other are slightly connected by the connecting portion 9a of the insulating member, and the connecting portion 9a is located at the corner portion as shown in the figure. The configuration of the semiconductor device other than this is similar to that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and in FIGS. 5 and 6, the same members as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals. Then, when the inspection of the characteristics and reliability of the semiconductor device is completed, the slit 9 is cut by cutting the connecting portion 9a connecting the slits 9.
The outer portion, that is, all the inspection terminals 5 and the peripheral portion of the insulating member 2 on which the inspection terminals 5 are mounted are removed.

In the first and second embodiments, the inspection terminal 5 and a part (peripheral portion) of the insulating member 2 on which the inspection terminal 5 is mounted.
When removing the wire, it was simply cut, but in that case a considerable load is naturally applied to the insulating member, so damage such as peeling of the wiring pattern from the insulating member may occur. There is. In particular, when a printed circuit board is used as the insulating member, the cutting load is large because the board is thick to some extent, and damage is likely to occur.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the external terminal 6
The slit 9 is previously formed in the portion to be cut between the inspection terminal 5 and the inspection terminal 5.
Since only the connecting portion 9a is cut after the inspection is completed, the cutting load can be reduced and problems such as separation of the wiring pattern 3 and the insulating member 2 at the time of cutting can be avoided. In particular, this embodiment is effective when the insulating member 2 is made of a material such as a printed circuit board that is thick to some extent.

In the case of the present embodiment, since the wiring pattern 3 is suspended in the air at the slit 9, the wiring pattern 3 may be cut before the inspection or the wiring pattern 3
Care must be taken in handling so that the wiring patterns 3 do not come into contact with each other and that the wiring pattern 3 is not turned over or peeled off from the slit 9.

A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9. 7 is a plan view of the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 8 is a sectional view of the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the tape-shaped insulating member 2
The rectangular opening provided in the center of B is smaller than that of the semiconductor element 1A, and the insulating member 2B is bonded to the semiconductor element 1A with the adhesive 10. At the step of the opening side wall at the center of the insulating member 2B, the inner tip of the wiring pattern 3 is bent from the surface of the insulating member 2B toward the surface of the semiconductor element 1A (that is, so as to go down the step), and the wiring pattern 3 The inner tip is connected to the electrode 4 of the semiconductor element 1A.
Further, the circuit forming surface of the semiconductor element 1A is sealed with a sealing resin 7.

Further, the external terminals 6 are provided on the wiring pattern 3 as before, but all the external terminals 6 are arranged on the portion of the insulating member 2B overlaid on the semiconductor element 1A. To Other than this, the configuration of the semiconductor device is similar to that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and FIGS.
In FIG. 2, the same members as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are designated by the same reference numerals.

When the inspection of the characteristics and the reliability of the semiconductor device is completed, all the inspection terminals 5 after the inspection and a part (peripheral portion) of the insulating member 2 on which the inspection terminals 5 are mounted are the same as in the first embodiment. Is finally cut and removed, but in the present embodiment, it is possible to cut according to the dimensions of the semiconductor element 1A. FIG.
[FIG. 3] is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device in a state where its cutting and removal are completed.

According to this embodiment as described above, the size of the semiconductor device itself can be reduced to almost the same size as the size of the semiconductor element 1A, and the size can be reduced.

In the above description of the first to fourth embodiments, the inspection terminal has a round shape, but it may have a rectangular shape or another shape. For example, if the area is rectangular, the area of the terminal surface can be widened, and even if the distance between adjacent test terminals is narrowed due to high integration and a large number of pins, the area of the terminal surface can be reduced. Can be secured sufficiently.

[0045]

According to the present invention, since the inspection terminals are electrically connected to the external terminals through the wiring pattern, the pitch of the inspection terminals can be widened regardless of the pitch and arrangement of the external terminals. Therefore, the characteristics or reliability of the semiconductor device can be accurately inspected. Therefore, high integration, high pin count, and miniaturization of the semiconductor device can be realized without any obstacle. Further, since the external terminal is not damaged during the inspection, the reliability of the connection with the outside by the external terminal can be improved.

Further, since the slit is formed at least between the external terminal and the inspection terminal in the insulating member, the cutting load when cutting off the inspection terminal and a part of the insulating member on which the inspection terminal is mounted after the inspection is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to avoid problems such as separation of the wiring pattern and the insulating member.

Further, since the external terminals are provided in the wiring pattern on the insulating member overlaid on the semiconductor element, the size of the semiconductor device itself can be reduced to about the same size as the semiconductor element, and the size is reduced. Can be realized.

Further, since the external terminals are provided in the wiring pattern after the inspection by the inspection terminals, there is no fear of deterioration of the connection reliability of the external terminals at all even in the case of conducting an inspection under high temperature such as a burn-in test. Moreover, when an abnormality is found in the inspection process, it is not necessary to connect an external terminal to the semiconductor device, so waste of the manufacturing process can be omitted.
