Description

    CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This is a divisional application of prior application Ser. No. 10/911,477 filed Aug. 5, 2004.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to a substrate frame for connecting to external terminals the electrodes of semiconductor chips mounted on the substrate frame and a method of making semiconductor devices using the substrate frame.
  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • Japanese patent application Kokai No. 11-87386 discloses such a semiconductor device as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), wherein a semiconductor chip 2 is mounted on the first surface of a wiring substrate 1 with a conductive or insulative adhesive 3, with the circuit forming surface facing up. A plurality of pads or connecting electrodes 1 a and their wirings (not shown) are formed on the first surface of the wiring substrate 1. The pads 1 a are exposed but the wirings and the other area are covered by a solder resist. A plurality of wires 4 connect the pads 1 a and the pads 2 a of the semiconductor chip 2. The semiconductor chip 2, the adhesive 3, and the wires 4 are covered by a resin such as epoxy resin.
  • A plurality of pads and their wirings are formed on the second surface opposed to the first surface of the wiring substrate 1. Similarly to the first surface, the pads are exposed but the wirings and the other area are covered by a solder resist. A plurality of external terminals or solder balls 6 are joined to the pads on the second surface. It is understood that the wirings on the first and second surfaces are connected via through-holes.
  • How to make such a semiconductor device will be described.
  • As shown in FIG. 2(c), a substrate frame 10 is prepared by bonding a pair of copper foils on opposite surfaces of an insulating board and forming a row of wiring substrate regions 11 at predetermined intervals on each surface. On each wiring substrate, both the surfaces are etched to form wiring patterns that include pads on the first and second surfaces of a wiring substrate 1 (FIG. 2(a)) and through holes provided at predetermined locations for connecting the wiring patterns on the first and second surfaces. A nickel-gold (NiAu) electrolytic plating is applied to the interiors of the through holes for connecting the wiring patters and to the pads for increasing the bonding property with the wires 4 and the solder balls 6. A solder resist is applied to the wiring patterns and the other area but the pads.
  • A plurality of slits 12 are provided between the wiring substrate regions 11 and have a length less than that of the wiring substrate regions 11. A plurality of slits 14 are provided in the ear portions 13 of the substrate frame 10 and have a length less that that of the wiring substrate regions 11. These slits 12 and 14 are formed by a router process. A semiconductor chip 2 is bonded to a central mounting area 11 a of the wiring substrate region 11 with a bond 3. Then, the pads 1 a of the wiring substrate region 11 and the pads 2 a of the semiconductor chip 2 are connected with wires 4. Then, the semiconductor chip 2, the bond 3, and the wires 4 within a package area 11 bare enclosed with a resinous mass 5. A plurality of solder balls 6 are joined to the pads on the second surface of the wiring substrate region 11. Finally, the ear portions at the four corners of the wiring substrate region 11 are punched off to provide individual semiconductor devices.
  • However, the conventional semiconductor device suffers from the following disadvantages.
  • A pair of lead patters are formed between the wiring substrate region 11 and the ear portion 13 of the substrate frame 10 for electroplating the wiring pattern. The punching at the four corners of the wiring substrate region 11 can damage the cut face, lowering the reliability. The punching may be replaced by cutting the four corners with a rotary saw. The saw cutting, however, requires cutting in the vertical and lateral directions, lowering the productivity, especially, of large BGA.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a substrate frame having the improved productivity.
  • According to the invention there is provided a substrate frame comprising an insulative board having a pair of ear portions extending along its longitudinal edges; a plurality of wiring substrate regions arranged on the insulative board between the ear portions at predetermined intervals; and a plurality of grooves provided around the wiring substrate regions from which wiring patterns are removed.
  • The grooves may be made by boundaries of said wiring substrate regions for punching to provide individual semiconductor devices.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a substrate frame according to the first embodiment of the invention;
  • FIG. 2(a) is a perspective view of a conventional semiconductor device;
  • FIG. 2(b) is a sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 2(a);

    • DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First Embodiment
  • In FIG. 1, a substrate frame 10A is provided to replace the substrate frame 10 in FIG. 2(c). Similarly to the substrate frame 10, this frame 10A is made by bonding a pair of copper foils to opposite surfaces of an insulative board and forming a row of wiring substrate regions 11 at predetermined intervals on each surface. The opposite surfaces of each wiring substrate region 11 are etched to form wiring patterns that include pads 1 a and 1 b on the first and second surfaces of the wiring substrate 1 and through-holes provided at predetermined locations for connecting the wiring patterns on the first and second surfaces. The interiors of the through-holes are plated to connect the wiring patterns but a nickel-gold electrolytic plating is applied to the pads 1 a and 1 b to increase the bonding property with the wires and solder balls. A solder resist is coated on the wiring patterns and the other area except for the pads 1 a and 1 b.
  • A plurality of slits 15 are provided between the wiring substrate regions 11 of the substrate frame 10A and have a length greater than that of the wiring substrate regions 11, extending across the ear portions 13 of the substrate frame 10A.

The copper foils 10 b of the both sided substrate are etched to form wiring patterns that include pads 1 a and 1 b on the first and second surfaces of the wiring substrate 1 and through-holes at predetermined locations for connecting the wiring patterns on the first and second surfaces. The interiors of the through-holes are plated to connect the wiring patterns electrically.
  • Then, a solder resist 10 c is coated over the wiring patterns and the other areas except for the pads 1 a and 1 b, to which a nickel-gold electrolytic plating is applied to increase the bonding property with the wire and the solder balls. A plurality of slits 17 are formed between the wiring substrate regions 11 by a router process to reduce the processing stress.
