Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device such as a resin-sealed LSI (large-scale integrated circuit) using a metal substrate, and in particular to an effective technique which can be applied to the manufacture of a semiconductor device (non-leaded semiconductor device) wherein external electrode terminals are made to project from a mounting surface without deliberately making the external electrode terminals project from the side of the package, such as in a SON (Small Outline Non-Leaded Package) or QFN (Quad Flat Non-Leaded Package).
  • SON Small Outline Non-Leaded Package
  • QFN Quad Flat Non-Leaded Package
  • a lead frame In the manufacture of resin-sealed semiconductor devices, a lead frame is used.
  • the lead frame is manufactured by forming a predetermined pattern, by stamping a metal plate with a precision press or by etching.
  • the lead frame comprises supporting members known as tabs or diepads for fixing semiconductor elements (semiconductor chips), and plural leads whereof the ends (inner ends) are brought to the periphery of the supporting members.
  • the tabs are supported by hanging leads extending from the frame part of the lead frame.
  • a semiconductor device structure (non-leaded semiconductor device) wherein one-side molding is performed on one surface (principal surface) of the lead frame to form the package, and the leads which are external electrode terminals are exposed on the surface of the package.
  • Examples of this type of semiconductor device are SON wherein the leads are exposed on both edges of the surface of the package, and QFN wherein the leads are exposed on four sides of the surface of a rectangular package.
  • a semiconductor chip is fixed to the island, a bonding pad on the front surface of the semiconductor chip is fixed to the first connecting pieces and second connecting pieces via metal filaments, the semiconductor chip and metal filaments are covered by a sealing package, the first connecting pieces and second connecting pieces are cut by dicing so as to remove the connecting member along the connecting member, the grooves are filled by resin if necessary, and the frame and sealing package are cut (full cut).
  • the island may be formed larger or smaller than the chip.
  • Groove parts are formed on the front surface of the projecting surface of the land structures, and projecting parts having a flat front surface are formed in the centers of depressions in the land structures.
  • the flat surfaces of these projections form mounting surfaces for external electrode terminals of the semiconductor device.
  • a sealing resin is inlaid into the groove parts to improve the contact between the land structures forming the external electrode terminals and the resin.
  • semiconductor elements are bonded to the projecting surfaces of one or more land structures by a conductive adhesive or insulating paste, the electrodes of the semiconductor elements and the land structures situated around the semiconductor elements are electrically connected by metal filaments, the principal surface of the terminal land frame is sealed by resin (one-side molding) so that the semiconductor elements and metal filaments are covered by a resin layer, resin layer parts are cut at predetermined positions to separate them, and with the terminal land frame fixed, the land structures are pressed out from the rear surface of the terminal land frame to break the land structures in the step parts. This gives a non-leaded semiconductor device.
  • non-leaded semiconductor devices such as SON or QFN with one-side molding are used.
  • the lead surfaces exposed on one surface of the package are mounting surfaces, so the mounting surface area is smaller than in the case of semiconductor devices such as SOP (Small Outline Package) or QFP where the leads project from the lateral surface of the package.
  • the arrangement of external electrode terminals on the mounting surface is a one-row structure.
  • the number of external electrode terminals also referred to as the number of pins
  • the size of the package increases as compared with the size of the semiconductor element (semiconductor chip). Therefore, the semiconductor device manufacturing technology shown in the above-mentioned references was developed for the purpose of making the package size more compact.
  • connection members [0013]
  • the four corners of the frame which is separated from the connection members are vacant regions where there are no connection pieces, and effective use of the frame is not achieved.
  • the first connection piece which extends towards the island has a cantilever construction.
  • connection piece and second connection piece are arranged in a staggered footprint shape, in the third and higher rows, as they occur in a part which is coaxial with the cutting location, it is difficult to use this part (in particular the fourth corner) as an external terminal.
  • the land structure used as an external electrode terminal is formed by stamping, its size cannot be controlled to a high precision and tends to vary.
  • the dimensions of the external electrode terminal are determined by shear when the land structure is pressed to form the external electrode terminal by shear, the fracture position also cannot be controlled to a high precision. Consequently, the external form, dimensions and position of the external electrode terminal easily vary. Therefore, the mounting reliability is low.
  • a non-leaded resin-sealed semiconductor device is manufactured by the steps of providing a conductive flat substrate (metal plate) such as copper or copper alloy, fixing semiconductor elements respectively to predetermined parts of a principal surface of the substrate, electrically connecting electrodes on the surface of the semiconductor elements with predetermined partition parts of the substrate separated from the semiconductor elements by conductive wires, forming an insulating resin layer over effectively the whole of a principal surface of the substrate to cover the semiconductor elements and the wires, selectively removing the substrate from the rear of the substrate to form electrically independent partition parts (partition regions) whereof at least some are external electrode terminals, and selectively removing the resin layer to fragment the device into the semiconductor elements and regions containing the plural partition parts surrounding the semiconductor elements.

  • the independent unit substrate parts are supported by tape.
  • plural non-leaded semiconductor devices are manufactured by peeling off the tape.
  • the partition parts in the region adjacent to the center of the semiconductor element are made thinner than the thickness of the partition part supporting the peripheral part of the semiconductor element, or eliminated completely, so as to generate a predetermined gap between the mounting surface of the lower part of the semiconductor element and the mounting board (standoff structure).
  • isolation by removing the groove bases of the partition parts may be performed by removing the substrate by polishing or etching it to a fixed thickness.
  • the grooves in the region to which the semiconductor element is fixed are filled by a filling material, and the semiconductor element is fixed to the substrate using the aforesaid adhesive so as to eliminate the gap between the semiconductor element and the substrate.

Also, due to the shortening of cutting time, there is less wear on the dicing blade and the life of the blade is extended. Hence, the cost of manufacturing the semiconductor device is reduced. According to the above means (4), two or more rows of external electrode terminals are disposed along one side of the non-leaded semiconductor device, so the number of external electrode terminals can be increased.
