Abstract

A semiconductor package having a molding unit that seals bonding wires connected to electrode pads of a semiconductor chip is provided with through electrode units comprising bonding wires embedded therein and penetrating the molding unit. A leading end of the respective through electrode units is exposed from an upper surface of the molding unit and a lower surface of the molding unit.

Claims (45)

1. A semiconductor package comprising:

2. The semiconductor package according to claim 1 , wherein:

the through electrode unit comprises a columnar conducting unit that penetrates the molding unit;

the through electrode unit comprises a columnar part formed with electrolytic plating; and

the inside of the columnar part is cut across by the bonding wire.

3. The semiconductor package according to claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor package houses a semiconductor chip.

4. The semiconductor package according to claim 2 , wherein an exposed surface of the columnar conducting unit that is exposed from the molding unit is coated with metal plating.

5. The semiconductor package according to claim 2 , comprising a wire connecting unit that is connected to the bonding wire and is exposed from the molding unit.

6. The semiconductor package according to claim 4 , wherein an exposed surface area of the columnar conducting unit is wider than a surface area of the wire connecting unit.

7. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor package comprising:

sealing a bonding wire connected to an electrode pad of a semiconductor chip, and

forming a through electrode unit that embeds therein the bonding wire, wherein

the through electrode unit penetrates the molding unit, and

wherein the upper surface and the lower surface of the electrode pad are exposed from an upper surface of the molding unit and a lower surface of the molding unit.

8. The manufacturing method according to claim 7 , wherein:

forming the through electrode unit further comprises forming a columnar conducting unit which penetrates the molding unit,

the columnar conducting unit has a columnar part formed with electrolytic plating, and

the inside of the columnar part is cut across by the bonding wire.

9. The manufacturing method according to claim 8 , further comprising coating an exposed surface of the columnar conducting unit that is exposed from the molding unit with metal plating.

10. The manufacturing method according to claim 8 , further comprising forming a wire connecting unit that is connected to the bonding wire and is exposed from the molding unit.

11. The manufacturing method according to claim 9 , wherein an exposed surface area of the columnar conducting unit is wider than a surface area of the wire connecting unit.

12. A semiconductor device comprising:

a semiconductor package having a molding unit that seals a bonding wire connected to an electrode pad of a semiconductor chip; and
