The tape 13 is made of an insulating and flexible resin, and is formed in an elongated tape shape having a constant width. A large number of feed holes 14 are formed at both ends of the tape 13 at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction. Tape 13
A pair of sheets 15 between the rows of the two feed holes 14
15 are virtually formed side by side in the lateral direction, and both groups of sheets 15 are arranged in a line on each side of the tape 13.

Nine outer leads 16 are provided on one main surface (hereinafter, referred to as a first main surface) of the sheet 15 of each unit carrier 12, and four outer leads 16 are provided on both sides of the central outer lead 16a. They are arranged symmetrically left and right and fixed. The outer leads 16 are formed by patterning a copper foil adhered to the first main surface of the tape 13 by lithography and etching, and forming a 5 μm nickel plating film and a 0.1 μm
Of gold plating (both not shown). Each of the outer leads 16 is separated from each other and is in an electrically disconnected state.

At the center of the sheet 15, a semiconductor chip receiving hole (hereinafter, referred to as a receiving hole) 17 is opened from the other main surface (hereinafter, referred to as a second main surface) side of the first main surface. The central outer lead 16a is exposed at the bottom of the housing hole 17.

On the second main surface of the sheet 15 of each unit carrier 12, a cavity resist layer 19 is provided with an accommodation hole 1.
It is formed in a substantially square frame shape so as to surround the group 7 and the group of connection holes 18, and the cavity resist layer 19 is set so as to correspond to the outer edge of the cavity in a transfer molding apparatus described later. A gate resist layer 20 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape with a constant width at a predetermined position on the outer periphery of the cavity resist layer 19 on the side of the feed hole 14, and the gate resist layer 20 is formed by a gate in a transfer molding apparatus described later. Is set to correspond to. The cavity resist layer 19 and the gate resist layer 20 are formed by being applied by a screen printing method and then being cured by ultraviolet rays, and have a thickness of 10 to 30 μm.

The tape carrier 1 constructed as described above
In the semiconductor chip fixing step 1, a semiconductor chip (hereinafter, referred to as a chip) is fixed as shown in FIG. The chip 21 is diced into small pieces smaller than the size of the receiving hole 17 in the subsequent dicing process after the integrated circuit of the microcomputer is formed in the state of the semiconductor wafer in the so-called pre-process in the IC manufacturing process. Thus, the IC structure is manufactured. A plurality of (six in the present embodiment) electrode pads 22 are formed on an outer peripheral portion of one main surface (hereinafter, referred to as a first main surface) of the chip 21. Incidentally, the electrode pads 22 are also formed in a semiconductor wafer state. A main surface of the chip 21 opposite to the first main surface (hereinafter referred to as a second main surface)
Main surface. ), A VCC electrode 23 is set.

In the semiconductor chip fixing step, an adhesive layer 24 having an insulating property is applied on the outer lead 16a at the center exposed at the bottom of each accommodation hole 17 in the tape carrier 11. Filler 25 having an insulating property is mixed in the adhesive forming the adhesive layer 24,
The filler 25 has a particle size of 20 to 100 μm. The VCC electrode 23 of the chip 21 is adhered to the adhesive layer 24. Since the adhesive is mixed with an insulating filler 25 having a particle size of 20 to 100 μm, the adhesive layer 2
In a state where the chip 21 is adhered on the outer lead 16a at the center of the accommodation hole 17 by the chip 4, the chip 21 is completely insulated from the outer lead 16a at the center.

Next, in the connection step, as shown in FIG. 5, each wire is provided between each electrode pad 22 of the chip 21 and each of the outer leads 16 on both sides exposed at the bottom of each connection hole 18. 26 is bonded. A gold wire is used as a wire constituting the wire 26. Since the surface of the outer lead 16 is covered with a gold plating film (not shown), the bondability is extremely good. As a result, the chip 21 is electrically connected to the outer leads 16 on both sides via the wires 26. By the way, the outer lead 16a at the center
Are electrically floating from the pellet 21 and the outer leads 16 on both sides.

As described above, the assembly 2 in which the chip and wire bonding are performed on the tape carrier 11
7, the resin sealing body 28 is molded by the transfer molding apparatus 40 shown in FIG.

The transfer molding apparatus 40 shown in FIG. 6 includes an upper mold 41 and a lower mold 42 which are mutually matched by a mold clamping device (not shown) or the like. A plurality of cavities 43 are submerged in the mating surface of the upper die 41 in a row of two rows. A pair of pots 44 are formed on the mating surface of the lower mold 42, and two pots 44 are formed outside the two rows of the cavities 43. A plunger 45 driven up and down by a cylinder device (not shown) is movable in each pot 44. It is inserted in.

A pair of runners 47, 47 corresponding to two rows of cavities 43 are provided on the mating surface of the upper mold 41, with each cull 46 being opposed to each pot 44, respectively. Each is connected. Both runners 4
7 and 47 are laid in parallel with each row outside of both rows of the cavity 43, and both runners 47 and 47 are provided.
Is connected to each gate 48 opened for each cavity 43 in each row. Also, both runners 4
7 and 47 are laid so as to be in contact with both sides of the tape carrier 11 when the assembly 27 is installed in the transfer molding apparatus 40 as described later.

As shown in FIG. 7, a concave mirror-shaped portion 49 as a concave portion is formed on the ceiling surface corresponding to the bottom of the hole of each cavity 43.
9 forms a convex mirror-shaped part 29 as a convex part on the upper surface of the resin sealing body 28. At the center of the ceiling surface of each cavity 43 on the side opposite to the gate 48, a convex portion 50 having a substantially semi-elliptical shape in a plan view is protruded at a constant height. An ejector pin guide hole 51 is formed on the center line of the projection 50, and the ejector pin guide hole 51 is provided in the ejector pin guide hole 51.
Is inserted so that it can advance and retreat.

When the resin molded body 28 is molded by the transfer molding apparatus 40 having the above-described configuration, the assembly 27 is set on the lower mold 42 with the respective chips 21 facing upward. You. A tablet (not shown) on which a molding resin as a molding material has been pressed is put into a pot 44. At this time, a gray molding resin from which addition of carbon is omitted is used as the molding resin.
The reason for using a gray molding resin in which the addition of carbon is omitted as the molding resin is that when the COB / IC is used for an IC card, the color of the resin sealing body 28 is transparent through the protection cover of the IC card. This is to avoid seeing. By the way, the molding resin containing carbon turns black,
The molding resin from which the addition of carbon is omitted becomes gray close to white.

Next, the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 42 are clamped. When the mold is clamped, the chip 21 is housed in the cavity 43 of the upper mold 41, and the outer peripheral edge of the cavity 43 and the gate 48 are connected to the cavity resist layer 19 and the gate for the tape carrier 11. Each of them comes into a state of being pressed against the resist layer 20. In this state, the inner end sides of the two runners 47 are in contact with both end sides of the tape carrier 11, respectively.

The tablet is heated by a heater (not shown) and melted to form a liquid resin (hereinafter referred to as a resin).
At 53, the resin 53 is pushed out of the pot 44 by the plunger 45, and the runner 47 and the gate 48
Through the cavity 43. After a lapse of a predetermined time, the filled resin 53 is thermally cured. Since the resin 53 is transferred (transferred) through the runner 47 and the gate 48 and is filled in the cavity 43, the runner 47 and the gate 48, which are intermediate transfer paths, are provided.
In this case, the resin 53 is filled and cured.

At the time of transport and filling, the liquid resin 53 tends to leak from between the mating surfaces of the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 42, but the outer periphery of the cavity 43 and the gate 4
Since the cavity resist layer 19 and the gate resist layer 20 of the tape carrier 11 pressed against the tape 8 just serve as packing, the occurrence of leakage is prevented. Therefore, occurrence of resin flash is prevented. Further, so-called indentations are formed on the outer leads 16 with the mold clamping. However, the cavity resist layer 19 and the gate resist layer 20 of the tape carrier 11 pressed against the outer peripheral edge of the cavity 43 and the gate 48 are just cushioned. Therefore, the phenomenon that so-called indentations are formed on the outer leads 16 is prevented.

Resin 53 filled in cavity 43
Is thermally cured, the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 42 are opened, and the resin sealing body 28 formed by the cavity 43 is removed from the cavity 43 by the ejector pin 5.
2 and is released from the mold.

On the main surface of the resin sealing body 28 opposite to the tape carrier 11, a convex mirror-shaped portion 29 is formed by a concave mirror-shaped portion 49 of the cavity 43. A concave portion 50A is recessed by the convex portion 50 of the cavity 43 in a part of the outer periphery of the convex mirror-shaped portion 29, and an ejector pin mark 52A is formed by an ejector pin 52 at the bottom of the concave portion 50A.

As shown in FIG. 7B,
Even if a projection-shaped burr 51A is formed around the ejector pin mark 52A due to the gap between the ejector pin guide hole 51 and the ejector pin 52, the ejector pin mark 5
Since 2A is formed at the bottom of the concave portion 50A, the burr 51A does not protrude above the convex mirror-shaped portion 29. When the burr 51A does not protrude above the convex mirror-shaped portion 29,
Even if the burr 51A occurs, the COB
It is possible to avoid occurrence of a trouble when mounting the IC 10 on the IC card.

When the resin sealing body 28 is molded and released as described above, the molded product 30 shown in FIG. 8 is in a manufactured state. In the molded article 30 shown in FIG. 8, the sheet 1 of each carrier 12 of the tape carrier 11
5 is formed with a resin sealing body 28, and the outer leads 16 are exposed on one main surface of the resin sealing body 28. A molded body of a pair of runners 47, 47 (hereinafter, referred to as a runner molded body) 4 is provided at both ends of the tape carrier 11.
7A and 47A are respectively attached.
That is, the inner edge of each runner molded body 47A is tape 1
3 is attached to the edge. A molded body (hereinafter, referred to as a gate molded body) 48A of each gate 48 connected to each runner molded body 47A is attached to the gate resist layer 20 of the tape carrier 11.

Thereafter, the runner molding 47A of the molding 30 is formed.
The gate molding 48A and the like are removed from the tape carrier 11 as shown in FIG. At this time, since the inner side edge of the runner formed body 47A is attached to the end side of the tape 13, the runner formed body 47A
When the tape 3 is removed, the end surface of the tape 13 becomes a clean surface state in which no resin flash remains. In other words, when the resin 53 leaked from the runner 47 is thinly adhered to the end face of the tape 13 to form a resin flash, the resin flash remains adhered to the surface of the end face of the tape 13. When the body 47A is attached to the end face of the tape 13, no resin flush occurs, and the runner molded body 47A can be removed without leaving the resin flush on the surface of the end face of the tape 13.

Since each gate molding 48A connected to the runner molding 47A is attached to the gate resist layer 20 of the tape carrier 11, an interface between the gate resist layer 20 and the tape 13 is formed. Is peeled off neatly. As a result, the gate molded body 48A is cut off at the boundary with the resin sealing body 28 by a so-called chocolate breaking action, so that the gate molded body 48A is easily and cleanly separated from the resin sealing body 28.

The molded product shown in FIG. 9 (hereinafter, referred to as the molded product) in which the runner molded product, the gate molded product, and the like are removed as described above, and the resin sealing body 28 group is molded on the tape carrier 11.
It is called an intermediate product. ) 31 is wound in a reel shape.
At this time, since the tape 13 of the intermediate product 31 has flexibility, it can be wound in a reel shape. In addition, since no resin flash remains on both end faces of the tape 13 of the tape carrier 11, the intermediate product 31
Is wound, no foreign matter is generated by the resin flash.

When wound, the resin sealing body 28 is in a state where an external force acts. However, the chip 21 itself has a tape 1
3, that is, the thickness is set to be as thick as the thickness of the sheet 15, whereby the strength is increased, and no trouble occurs.

The intermediate product 31 wound in a reel shape is I
At the time of mounting on a C card, the sheet 15 is cut into a substantially rectangular shape along the outer shape line. As a result, the COB / IC 10 according to the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is manufactured.

COB IC manufactured as described above
10 is mounted on the IC card 32 as shown in FIG. The IC card 32 includes a main body 33 formed of a rectangular card shape using a resin such as vinyl chloride, and has one main surface (hereinafter referred to as a front side surface) of the main body 33.
Is provided with a storage recess 34 at the center of one end in the longitudinal direction. The storage recess 34 has a large-diameter recess 35 having substantially the same size as the sheet 15 of the COB
A small-diameter concave portion 36 having substantially the same size as the resin sealing body 28 of the IC 10 is provided, and the large-diameter concave portion 35 and the small-diameter concave portion 36 are formed in a stepped hole shape concentrically arranged.

The COB / IC 10 is stored in the storage recess 34 with the resin sealing body 28 facing inward.
Is bonded to the stepped surface between the large-diameter concave portion 35 and the small-diameter concave portion 36 by an adhesive layer 37 formed thinly. At this time, even if the burrs 51A (see FIG. 7) protrude from the ejector pin marks 52A, since the burrs 51A (see FIG. 7) are housed in the recesses 50A, the C
It does not become an obstacle to the storage of the OB / IC 10.

When the outer lead 16 of the COB IC 10 is fixed to the recess 34 by the adhesive layer 37, the outer lead 16 is exposed to the surface of the main body 33 in the recess 34. A transparent protective cover (not shown) is formed on each of the front and rear sides of the main body 33 except for the area of the outer leads 16.

Generally, the thickness of an IC card tends to be thin. When the thickness of the IC card 32 is reduced, the thickness of the bottom of the storage recess 34 in the main body 33 of the IC card 32 is reduced, so that the COB IC 1 stored in the storage recess 34 is reduced.
The 0 resin sealing body 28 is seen through. Where C
A molding resin containing carbon is used as a molding resin for a resin-sealed body in an IC having a resin-sealed package such as an OB / IC, etc. for measures against static electricity.
The color of the resin sealing body is black. On the other hand, the general I
The body of the C card is molded using white vinyl chloride resin, and the IC card is white. For this reason, if the thickness of the bottom of the storage recess in the IC card is small, the black color of the resin sealing body can be seen through from the outside of the storage recess of the white IC card, and the appearance is impaired.

However, the IC card 32 according to the present embodiment
In this case, even when the bottom of the storage recess 34 is formed to be thin, the resin sealing body 2 of the COB / IC 10
8 is grayish near white, so that the resin sealing body 28
Can be prevented from seeing through from the outside of the storage recess 34 of the white IC card 32. As a result, the appearance of the built-in COB / IC 10 in the IC card 32 can be seen through, thereby preventing the aesthetic appearance of the IC card 32 from being impaired.

By the way, since the IC card 32 is used by being carried by a person, various strength tests are performed. As an example, COB / IC of IC card 32
There is a point pressure test in which the central portion of the ten resin sealing bodies 28 is pressed with a ball. Since the resin sealing body 28 of the COB / IC 10 according to the above configuration includes the convex mirror-shaped portion 29, the strength against the point pressure test is extremely high. That is, not only the central portion of the resin sealing body 28 is thickened, but also the point pressure is dispersed by the curved surface of the convex mirror-shaped portion 29, so that the proof strength against the point pressure test becomes extremely good.

According to the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) When the COB / IC is mounted on an IC card, the resin encapsulant is molded using a molding resin that turns gray near white by omitting the addition of carbon. Since the resin sealing body can be prevented from being seen through the protection cover of the card, it is possible to prevent the aesthetic appearance of the IC card from deteriorating.

(2) By fixing the chip in the receiving hole formed in the sheet, the thickness of the chip can be set as large as the thickness of the sheet.
The mechanical strength of the B · IC as a whole can be increased.

(3) By forming the main surface of the resin-sealed body in a convex mirror-shaped portion, the point pressure strength of the resin-sealed body can be increased, and the mechanical strength of the entire COB / IC is increased. Can be done.

(4) The outer leads at the center to which the chip is bonded are separated from the other outer lead groups on both sides to be electrically disconnected so that the chip is electrically insulated from the other outer lead groups. Can be reliably maintained.

(5) By arranging the ejector pins in the projections projecting from the ceiling surface of the cavity for molding the resin sealing body, a projection shape is formed around the ejector pin mark of the resin sealing body. Even if burrs are formed, it is possible to prevent the burrs from projecting upward from the surface of the resin sealing body, so that it is possible to avoid occurrence of a failure when mounting the COB / IC on the IC card. .

FIG. 11 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which (a) is a front sectional view of a COB IC, and (b) is an enlarged partial front sectional view of an IC card using the same.

The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the resin sealing body 28 of the COB IC 10 has a white pigment 5

In the IC card 32 using the COB / IC 10 according to the second embodiment, even when the body 33 is formed in white and the bottom of the storage recess 34 is formed to be thin, the resin sealing is performed. Since the stopping body 28 is colored white by the white pigment 54, the resin sealing body 2
Since 8 is assimilated into the main body 33 serving as a background, the resin sealing body 28 is not seen through the bottom of the storage recess 34 in the main body 33.

FIG. 12 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, in which (a) is a front sectional view of a COB IC, and (b) is an enlarged partial front sectional view of an IC card using the same.

The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the surface of the resin sealing body 28 of the COB / IC 10 is colored with a white paint 55. IC card 32 using COB / IC 10 according to the third embodiment
In the above, even when the main body 33 is formed in white and the bottom of the storage recess 34 is formed to be thin, the resin sealing body 28 is colored white with the white paint 55. The main body 3 with the resin sealing body 28 as a background
3, the resin sealing body 28 is
3 is not seen through the bottom of the storage recess 34.

13A and 13B show a fourth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 13A is a front sectional view of a COB IC, and FIG. 13B is an enlarged partial front sectional view of an IC card using the same.

The fourth embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the surface of the resin sealing body 28 of the COB / IC 10 is substantially the same as the color of the main body 33 of the IC card 32 (the same color or a color close thereto). It is colored with a paint, for example, a blue paint 56. COB according to the fourth embodiment
In the IC card 32 in which the IC 10 is used, even when the main body 33 is formed in, for example, blue and the bottom of the storage recess 34 is formed to be thin, the resin sealing body 2 is formed.
8 is colored blue with the blue paint 55, the resin sealing body 28 is assimilated to the main body 33 serving as the background. It will not be seen through.

In this embodiment, instead of coloring the surface of the resin encapsulant 28 with a paint, the resin encapsulant is made of a molding resin to which a pigment substantially the same as the color of the main body 33 of the IC card 32 is added. The same effect can be obtained by molding 28 itself.

FIG. 14 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention, in which (a) is a front sectional view of a COB IC, and (b) is an enlarged partial front sectional view of an IC card using the same.

The present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the chip 21 is fixed to the receiving hole 17A formed in a blind hole shape, and the other end of the wire 26 is outside the resin sealing body 28. The point is that it is bonded to the inner lead 18B which is electrically connected to the outer lead 16 by the formed through-hole conductor 18A.

The effects obtained by typical aspects of the invention disclosed in the present application will be briefly described as follows.

By setting at least the surface of the resin sealing body of the semiconductor device to white or a color close to white, the thickness of the bottom of the storage recess is reduced in an IC card in which the semiconductor device is stored in the storage recess. Even if it is performed, since the resin sealing body can be prevented from being seen through, it is possible to prevent the aesthetic appearance of the IC card from deteriorating.

Also, by setting the color of at least the surface of the resin sealing body and the color of the IC card to be the same or close to each other, the thickness of the bottom of the storage concave portion of the IC card may be reduced. However, since the resin encapsulant and the card body have substantially the same color, it is possible to prevent the resin encapsulant from being seen through, and as a result, the aesthetic appearance of the IC card is reduced. Can be avoided.
