Abstract
Abstract A method for mounting a semiconductor device on a circuit board which includes the steps of: joining a terminal electrode of the semiconductor device to a connecting electrode of the circuit board by means of a thermoplastic conductive adhesive; allowing a thermosetting resin to fill a gap between the semiconductor device and the circuit board; and curing the thermosetting resin at a temperature equal to or higher than the plasticizing temperature of the thermoplastic conductive adhesive is disclosed.
