Abstract
Abstract A film material for manufacturing film carriers and its manufacturing method wherein the film material common in all may be applied with respect to the various semiconductor chips which are different in the electrode layout, because the inner lead portions for bump connection use which are required to be changed each time the electrode layout of the semiconductor chip changes are not pattern formed, and are kept as the inner lead forming portion with the whole remaining covered with the conductive metallic layer, and, the manufacturing apparatus for etching mask and model and so on have only to be one in type.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
In a film material for a film carrier for mounting semiconductor chips, comprising a film wherein said film has mounted thereon leads having inner and outer portions, said semiconductor chips having electrodes to be mounted on said inner lead portion by bumps of conductive material, the improvement wherein said film carrier is provided with pattern formed outer lead portions having an inner and outer metallic layer, wherein said inner metallic layer has a smaller reflecting ratio to an etching laser light than said outer layer and non-pattern formed inner lead portions formed of said metal of said inner layer and capable of being laser etched to form an inner lead pattern corresponding to the electrode configurations of said semiconductor chip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
In a film material for a film carrier for mounting semiconductor chips, comprising a film wherein said film has mounted thereon leads having inner and outer portions, said semiconductor chips having electrodes to be mounted on said inner lead portion by bumps of conductive material, the improvement wherein said film carrier is provided with pattern formed outer lead portions having an inner and outer metallic layer, wherein said inner metallic layer has a smaller reflecting ratio to an etching laser light than said outer layer and non-pattern formed inner lead portions formed of said metal of said inner layer and capable of being laser etched to form an inner lead pattern corresponding to the electrode configurations of said semiconductor chip.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The film material of claim 1 wherein said outer layer is made of copper.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The film material of claim 1 wherein said inner layer is made of aluminum.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The film material of claim 1 wherein a a hollow area is provided proximate the center of said inner lead portion through which said film is exposed.
