Abstract
Abstract The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip, an FPC tape for mounting the semiconductor chip thereto, a mold resin for protecting the semiconductor chip, and metal balls provided on the FPC tape for connecting the semiconductor chip to a circuit board. The mold resin has the glass transition temperature not lower than 200 DEG C., the coefficient of linear expansion in the range from 13 to 18 ppm/ DEG C., and Young's modulus in the range from 1500 to 3000 kg/mm2, whereby warpage of the semiconductor device is mitigated. The semiconductor device can also include a buffer layer. The semiconductor device can be manufactured by collectively molding a plurality of semiconductor chips mounted to the FPC tape and by cutting the molded article into individual semiconductor packages.
