Abstract

A flip-chip type semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip having electrode pads formed and arranged on a chip surface thereof. Sprout-shaped metal bumps are bonded to the electrode pads on the chip, and an adhesive resin layer is formed on the chip surface of the chip such that tip ends of the sprout-shaped metal bumps are protruded from the adhesive resin layer. A circumference of the tip end of each sprout-shaped metal bump is surrounded by a protective resin material integrally swelled from the adhesive rein layer such that a tip end face of each sprout-shaped metal bump is at least exposed to the outside.

Claims (21)

1. A flip-chip type semiconductor device comprising:

a semiconductor chip having a plurality of electrode pads formed and arranged on a chip surface thereof;

a plurality of sprout-shaped metal bumps bonded to the electrode pads of said semiconductor chip; and

an adhesive resin layer formed on the chip surface of said semiconductor chip such that tip ends of said sprout-shaped metal bumps are protruded from said adhesive resin layer,

wherein a circumference of the tip end of each sprout-shaped metal bump is surrounded by a protective resin material integrally swelled from said adhesive resin layer such that at least a substantially flat tip end face of each sprout-shaped metal bump is exposed to an outside.

2. A flip-chip type semiconductor device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said protective resin material is configured such that a tip-endmost portion of each sprout-shaped metal bump is exposed to the outside.

3. A flip-chip type semiconductor device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said sprout-shaped metal bumps are made of a metal material selected from a group consisting of gold, solder, and silver.

4. A flip-chip type semiconductor device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said adhesive resin layer is composed of a thermoplastic resin component and a solvent component, whereby a state of said adhesive resin layer is controlled by regulating an amount of the solvent component and a temperature, such that said semiconductor device may be properly mounted on an electronic board.

5. A flip-chip type semiconductor device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said adhesive resin layer is formed of a hybrid resin composed of a thermoplastic resin component and a thermosetting resin component, whereby a state of said adhesive resin layer is controlled by regulating a temperature and a setting degree of the thermosetting resin component, such that said semiconductor device may be properly mounted on an electronic board.

6. A flip-chip type semiconductor device comprising:

a semiconductor chip having a plurality of electrode pads formed and arranged on a chip surface thereof;

a plurality of sprout-shaped metal bumps bonded to the electrode pads of said semiconductor chip; and

an adhesive resin layer formed on the chip surface of said semiconductor chip such that tip ends of said sprout-shaped metal bumps are protruded from said adhesive resin layer,

wherein a circumference of the tip end of each sprout-shaped metal bump is surrounded by a protective resin material integrally swelled from said adhesive resin layer such that at least a substantially flat tip end face of each sprout-shaped metal bump is exposed to an outside,

wherein said adhesive resin layer is composed of a thermoplastic resin component and a solvent component, whereby a state of said adhesive resin layer is controlled by regulating an amount of the solvent component and a temperature, said adhesive resin layer exhibiting fluidity when it is heated to a temperature of more than 200° C.

7. A flip-chip type semiconductor device comprising:

a semiconductor chip having a plurality of electrode pads formed and arranged on a chip surface thereof;

a plurality of sprout-shaped metal bumps bonded to the electrode pads of said semiconductor chip; and

an adhesive resin layer formed on the chip surface of said semiconductor chip such that tip ends of said sprout-shaped metal bumps are protruded from said adhesive resin layer,

wherein a circumference of the tip end of each sprout-shaped metal bump is surrounded by a protective resin material integrally swelled from said adhesive resin layer such that at least a substantially flat tip end face of each sprout-shaped metal bump is exposed to an outside,

wherein said adhesive resin layer is formed of a hybrid resin composed of a thermoplastic resin component and a thermosetting resin component, whereby a state of said adhesive resin layer is controlled by regulating a temperature and a setting degree of the thermosetting resin component, said adhesive resin layer exhibiting fluidity when it is heated to the temperature falling within a range from 120° C. to 200° C., said adhesive resin layer begins to substantially harden when it is heated to a temperature of at least 260° C.
