Abstract:
Improved techniques to produce integrated circuit products are disclosed. The improved techniques permit smaller and less costly production of integrated circuit products. One aspect of the invention concerns covering test contacts (e.g., test pins) provided with the integrated circuit products using printed ink. Once covered with the ink, the test contacts are no longer electrically exposed. Hence, the integrated circuit products are not susceptible to accidental access or electrostatic discharge. Moreover, the integrated circuit products can be efficiently produced in a small form factor without any need for additional packaging or labels to electrically isolate the test contacts.
Abstract:
A technique permitting the reduction in size of a semiconductor device is provided. In a BGA type semiconductor device with a semiconductor chip flip-chip-bonded onto a wiring substrate, bump electrodes of the semiconductor chip are coupled to lands formed at an upper surface of the wiring substrate. The lands at the upper surface of the wiring substrate are coupled electrically to solder balls formed on a lower surface of the wiring substrate. Therefore, the lands include first type lands with lead-out lines coupled thereto and second type lands with lead-out lines not coupled thereto but with vias formed just thereunder. The lands are arrayed in six or more rows at equal pitches in an advancing direction of the rows. However, a row-to-row pitch is not made an equal pitch. In land rows which are likely to cause a short-circuit, the pitch between adjacent rows is made large, while in land rows which are difficult to cause a short-circuit, the pitch between adjacent rows is made small. By so doing, both prevention of a short-circuit and improvement of the layout density of lands are attained at a time.

The contact insulating film includes at least one first recess and one second recess. The printed conductors are embedded between the two insulating films and each forms a first overlapping region with the first or second recess of the contact insulating film. The conductor carrier also includes an insulating region which separates the first printed conductor from the second printed conductor in an insulating manner due to the contact insulating film being less raised than outside the insulating region, and extends between the first and second recesses of the contact insulating film in a meandering manner. A configuration having the conductor carrier is also provided.

Abstract:
A solder pad structure with a high bondability to a solder ball is provided. The present invention provides a larger contact area with the solder ball so as to increase the bondability according to the principle that the bondability is positive proportional with the contact area therebetween. The solder pad structure includes a circuit board having a solder pad opening defined by a solder resist layer surrounding a circuit layer. The circuit layer within the solder pad opening is defined as a solder pad. In such a way, after filling the solder ball into the solder pad opening, besides walls of the solder pad opening, there are an extra contact area provided by a geometric shape of the solder pad for further improving the bondability of the solder pad and the solder ball.
