Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a semiconductor device.
- an optical semiconductor encapsulating sheet that has a resin layer made from a silicone resin is provided on an LED chip-mounted board that is mounted with an LED chip and the optical semiconductor encapsulating sheet is heated and pressurized toward the LED chip-mounted board to encapsulate the LED chip by the resin layer (ref: for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2010-123802).
- a void may be generated between the optical semiconductor encapsulating sheet and the LED chip-mounted board.
- the LED chip-mounted board is not capable of being surely encapsulated.
- a method for producing a semiconductor device of the present invention includes a preparing step of preparing a board formed with a concave portion, a terminal disposed in or around the concave portion, and a semiconductor element disposed in the concave portion; a wire-bonding step of connecting the terminal to the semiconductor element with a wire; a pressure-welding step of pressure-welding an encapsulating sheet to the board so as to be in close contact with the upper surface of a portion around the concave portion and to be separated from the upper surface of the concave portion under a reduced pressure atmosphere; and an atmosphere releasing step of releasing the board and the encapsulating sheet under an atmospheric pressure atmosphere.
- a two-step heating step in which heating is performed at a first temperature and thereafter, heating is performed at a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature is further included.
- the first temperature has a heating temperature range in which the temperature increases to the second temperature.
- the encapsulating sheet is mechanically pressurized when heated at the first temperature.
- the encapsulating sheet is prepared from an encapsulating resin composition containing a two-step thermosetting resin, and in the two-step heating step, the encapsulating sheet is in a B-stage state when heated at the first temperature and the encapsulating sheet is in a C-stage state when heated at the second temperature.
- a heating and fluid-pressurizing step in which the encapsulating sheet is heated and fluid-pressurized is further included.
- the encapsulating sheet has a compressive elastic modulus of 0.16 MPa or less.
- the length between the upper surface of the concave portion and the upper surface of the portion around the concave portion is 500 ⁇ m or less.
- the encapsulating sheet is pressure-welded to the board so as to be separated from the upper surface of the concave portion.
- the pressing force of the encapsulating sheet with respect to the wire at the time of pressure-welding thereof is capable of being reduced.
- the encapsulating sheet confines the upper surface of a portion around the concave portion under a reduced pressure atmosphere, so that a reduced pressure space that is, in the concave portion, defined by the board and the encapsulating sheet and is sealed is formed.
- the encapsulating sheet fills the concave portion without any space by a differential pressure between a pressure in the reduced pressure space and the atmospheric pressure.
- a deformation of a wire is capable of being reduced and the generation of the void is capable of being suppressed.
- FIG. 1 shows process drawings for illustrating one embodiment of a method for producing a semiconductor device of the present invention
- FIG. 1 ( a ) and FIG. 1 ( b ) illustrating a step of preparing a board in which a concave portion is formed, terminals that are disposed around the concave portion, and semiconductor elements that are disposed in the concave portion (a preparing step),
- FIG. 1 ( c ) illustrating a step of connecting the terminals to the semiconductor elements with wires (a wire-bonding step)
- FIG. 1 ( d ) illustrating a step of disposing an encapsulating sheet in opposed relation to the upper side of the board (an opposingly disposing step).
- FIG. 2 shows process drawings for illustrating one embodiment of a method for producing a semiconductor device of the present invention, subsequent to FIG. 1 :
- FIG. 2 ( e ) illustrating a step of pressure-welding the encapsulating sheet to the board so as to be in close contact with the upper surface of a portion around the concave portion and to be separated from the upper surface of the concave portion under a reduced pressure atmosphere (a pressure-welding step),
- FIG. 2 ( f ) illustrating a step of releasing the board and the encapsulating sheet under an atmospheric pressure atmosphere (an atmosphere releasing step)
- FIG. 2 ( g ) illustrating a step of, after the atmosphere releasing step, curing the encapsulating sheet (a curing step).
- FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the board shown in FIG. 1 ( b ).
- FIG. 4 shows a modified example of the board shown in FIG. 1 ( b ).
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show process drawings for illustrating one embodiment of a method for producing a semiconductor device of the present invention.
