Abstract:
Provided is a semiconductor device having a semiconductor chip mounted over a substrate, in which an interconnect is formed, by using an adhesive layer to permit contact conduction between a stud bump of the semiconductor chip and an interconnect of a tape substrate, wherein an adhesive layer formed integral as a film is adhered to each block made of substrates corresponding to a plurality of semiconductor devices and contact bonding under heat is conducted. The adhesive layer corresponding to the plurality of semiconductor devices is thus formed continuously and with this adhesive layer, the interconnect formation surface at the end portion of the substrate is covered. Moreover, with a thermosetting resin used as the adhesive layer, the semiconductor chip and substrate are adhered by contact bonding under heat while placing the substrate on a rigid heat insulating plate. According to the present invention, heat diffusion and deformation of the substrate upon contact bonding under heat can be prevented by the rigid heat insulating plate. Upon dicing, the peeling of the interconnect from the substrate can be prevented by holding the interconnect with the adhesive layer at the end portion of the substrate.

A method for fabricating an electrical connection structure of a circuit board is proposed. A patterned resist layer is formed on the circuit board having a plurality of conductive pads, and a plurality of openings is formed in the resist layer to expose the conductive pads. A first conductive material and a second conductive material are successively deposited in the openings of the resist layer and on each of the conductive pads. Then, the resist layer is removed. Subsequently, a protective layer is applied on the circuit board and covers the first and second conductive materials formed on each of the conductive pads. Finally, the protective layer is thinned to expose the second conductive material corresponding in position to each of the conductive pads. Thus, the circuit board can be electrically connected to an external device via the second conductive material.
