Abstract

A method of manufacturing a module, formed of a semiconductor element flip-chip bonded to a substrate and chip component soldered to the substrate, is disclosed. The method includes a step of mounting the chip component and the semiconductor element to the substrate, a first injection step for injecting first resin from a center of a lateral face of the semiconductor element into a gap between the semiconductor element and the substrate, a second injection step for applying second resin having a greater viscosity than the first resin to corners of the semiconductor element before the first resin reaches the corners, and a curing step for heating the module. This method allows mounting the chip component closer to the semiconductor element, so that the component can be mounted at a higher density on the module.

Claims (23)

1. A method of manufacturing a module, the module includes a semi-conductor element flip-chip bonded on a substrate and a chip component soldered to the substrate, the method comprising:

a mounting step for mounting the chip component and the semiconductor element to the substrate;

a first injection step for injecting first thermosetting resin from a center section of a lateral face of the semiconductor element into a gap between the semiconductor element and the substrate;

a second injection step for applying second thermosetting resin having a greater viscosity than the first thermosetting resin to a corner of the semiconductor element before the first resin reaches the corner; and

a curing step for heating the substrate to cure the first resin and the second resin.

2. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein

the first injection step and the second injection step are carried out simultaneously.

3. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein

the first resin is cured while a surface of the substrate faces downward, on which surface the semiconductor element is mounted.

4. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein

the first injection step is carried out after the second injection step takes place.

5. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein

the curing step includes

a first curing step for curing the first resin after the first injection step, and

a second curing step for curing the second resin before the first injection step.

6. The manufacturing method of claim 5 , wherein

the second resin is cured while a surface of the substrate faces downward, one which surface the semiconductor element is mounted.

7. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein

the curing step cures the first resin and the second resin simultaneously.

8. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein

the first injection step injects the first resin so as to make a clearance between solder, that fixes the chip component, and the first resin flowed out from the gap between the semiconductor element and the substrate.

9. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein

the second resin is applied to each one of four apexes of the corners of the semiconductor element.
