A semiconductor device (100) comprises a first resin substrate (101) on which a first semiconductor chip (125) is mounted a surface thereof; a second resin substrate (111) on which a second semiconductor chip (131) is mounted on a surface thereof; and a resin base material (109), joined to a front surface of the first resin substrate (101) and to a back surface of the second resin substrate (111), so that these surfaces are electrically connected. The resin base material (109) is disposed in a circumference of the first resin substrate (101) in the surface of the first resin substrate (101). Further, the first semiconductor chip (125) is disposed in a space section provided among the first resin substrate (101), the second resin substrate (111) and the resin base material (109) in the surface of the first resin substrate (101).

A method and structure for a solder interconnection, using solder balls for making a low temperature chip attachment directly to any of the higher levels of packaging substrate is disclosed. After a solder ball has been formed using standard methods it is reflowed to give the solder ball a smooth surface. A layer of low melting point metal, such as, bismuth, indium or tin, preferably, pure tin, is deposited on the top of the solder balls. This structure results in localizing of the eutectic alloy, formed upon subsequent low temperature joining cycle, to the top of the high melting solder ball even after multiple low temperature reflow cycles. This method does not need tinning of the substrate to which the chip is to be joined, which makes this method economical. It has also been noticed that whenever temperature is raised slightly above the eutectic temperature, the structure always forms a liquid fillet around the joint with copper wires. This liquid fillet formation results in substantial thermal fatigue life improvement for reduced stress at interface; and secondly, provides an easy means to remove chip for the purpose of chip burn-in, replacement or field repairs.

A conductive material that includes a metal component consisting of a first metal and a second metal having a melting point higher than that of the first metal, wherein the first metal is Sn or an alloy containing 70% by weight or more of Sn, and the second metal is a metal or alloy which forms an intermetallic compound having a melting point of 310° C. or higher with the first metal and has a lattice constant difference of 50% or greater between itself and the intermetallic compound generated at the circumference of the second metal.

Stator for rotary electric machine has stator core and stator coil. The stator core has plural slots. The stator coil has a one-side conductor segment, a first other-side conductor segment, and a second other-side conductor segment. In the one-side conductor segment, a first leg and a second leg are inserted in first and second slots from one axial end side of the stator core. In the first other-side conductor segment, a third leg is inserted in the first slot from another axial end side of the stator core. In the second other-side conductor segment, a fourth leg is inserted in the second slot from the other axial end side of the stator core. The stator coil is formed such that the opposing legs are joined in each of the slots and a plurality of the one-side conductor segment and a plurality of the other-side conductor segment are sequentially joined.

A method for manufacturing a terminal-strip-equipped electronic component in which terminal strips made of a metal plate are bonded with solder to terminal electrodes of an electronic chip component on two opposing end surfaces. Solder cream is applied to outer surfaces of the terminal electrodes. The terminal strips are thermocompression bonded to the terminal electrodes by placing the electronic chip component between the terminal strips and pressing the terminal strips against the terminal electrodes using a pair of heating elements so as to obtain an electronic component to which the terminal strips are temporarily fixed. The terminal strips are fully fixed to the electronic component by melting the solder cream as a result of heating the electronic component in a heating furnace so as to obtain a terminal-strip-equipped electronic component.

A method for forming multi-layer bumps on a substrate includes depositing a first metal powder on the substrate, and selectively melting or reflowing a portion of the first metal powder to form first bumps. A second metal powder is then deposited on the first bumps, and melted to form second bumps on the first bumps. A masking plate is disposed over the substrate to select the portions of the metal powders that are melted and the metal powders are melted via an irradiation beam. The multi-layer bump is formed without the need for any wet chemicals.

The invention is designed for use in a wafer to define a circuit and a contact window required by next bumping process. The re-wiring layer is located on a wafer's active side and has a line construction mainly comprising a first metal layer, a second metal layer and a conducting layer. Wherein, said conducting layer is mad of aluminum material, and said first and second metal layer are respectively overlapped on each of two side of said conducting layer. The connectivity between the first and second metal layers and a high polymer is higher than the one between said conducting layer and said high polymer. Said first and second metal layer can notably avoid the delaminating between a circuit layer and dielectric layer, and improve the reliability of wafer package.
