Abstract
Lands for mounting are located on the upper and lower surfaces of a substrate. External electrodes are exposed at a rear surface of a package body. An IC package is mounted by bonding the lands for mounting to the external electrodes. Lands for external connection are connected to the lands for mounting. The lands for external connection are located outside of the IC package. Solder bumps are connected to one side of the lands for external mounting. Thus, a semiconductor device for a semiconductor module is provided.
Claims6
A semiconductor device comprising:
- an IC package having a body with a rear surface over which a plurality of external electrodes are distributed and exposed;
- and
- a substrate having first and second surfaces, said IC package being mounted with the first surface of said substrate and the rear surface of said IC package in face-to-face relationship, said substrate including
- respective lands for mounting to which said external electrodes are correspondingly bonded, said lands for mounting being disposed between the first surface of said substrate and the rear surface of said IC package,
- lands for external connection disposed on the first surface of said substrate beyond said IC package and including first solder bumps for external connection, and
- wirings connecting respective lands for mounting to corresponding lands for external connection, wherein said wirings are arranged at a first pitch on opposite sides of said package body, and said lands for external connection include
- a first group of lands for external connection arranged at a pitch twice as large as the pitch of said wirings, and
- a second group of lands for external connection arranged at a pitch twice as large as the pitch of said wiring and located farther from said package body than said first group of lands for external connection, said second group of lands for external connection being staggered with respect to said first group of lands for external connection.
