Abstract

The present invention include a semiconductor device and a method therefor, the method includes disposing a sheet-shaped resin at a side opposite to the chip mounting portion mounting semiconductor chips to be mounted on the chip mounting portion, and forming a resin sealing portion between the sheet-shaped resin and the chip mounting portion, to seal the semiconductor chips. According to an aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a semiconductor device and a fabrication method therefor, by which it is possible to reduce the size of the package and to prevent the generation of an unfilled portion in a resin sealing portion or a filler-removed portion or to prevent the exposure of wire from the resin sealing portion.

Claims (61)

1. A method for fabricating a semiconductor device comprising:

mounting a semiconductor chip on a chip mounting portion;

coupling a wire between the semiconductor chip and the chip mounting portion

disposing a sheet-shaped resin at a side of the semiconductor chip opposite to the chip mounting portion; and

forming a resin sealing portion between the sheet-shaped resin and the chip mounting portion, to seal the semiconductor chip, wherein the wire is provided in contact with the sheet-shaped resin portion.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein disposing the sheet-shaped resin includes disposing the sheet-shaped resin on a surface of a die to seal the semiconductor chip, the surface opposing the semiconductor chip.
