Resin encapsulation molding method for semiconductor device

Abstract

According to a resin encapsulation molding method for a semiconductor device, a resin-encapsulated substrate having a semiconductor device that is mounted on the substrate and that has a portion exposed is formed. With the method, a device-mounted substrate on which the semiconductor device is mounted is prepared and then the device-mounted substrate is set in one mold part. A release film is thereafter provided between the device-mounted substrate and the other mold part opposite to that one mold part. The one and other mold parts are then closed to press the release film against the portion of the semiconductor device. The device-mounted substrate has a projection enclosing the portion of the semiconductor device for preventing resin flash from being formed. When the mold parts are closed, the release film is pressed against the projection to allow the projection to dig into the release film.

         5 . A resin encapsulation molding method for a semiconductor device to form a resin-encapsulated substrate having the semiconductor device that is mounted on the substrate and that has a transparent member exposed, comprising the steps of:
 preparing a device-mounted substrate on which said semiconductor device having said transparent member is mounted;   setting said device-mounted substrate in one mold part;   providing a release film between said device-mounted substrate and the other mold part opposite to said one mold part; and   closing said one mold part and said other mold part to press said release film against a top surface of said transparent member.   
     
     
         6 . The resin encapsulation molding method for a semiconductor device according to  claim 5 , wherein
 said release film has a soft member layer and a hard member layer harder than said soft member layer and,   in said step of closing, said soft member layer is pressed against said transparent member.   
     
     
         7 . The resin encapsulation molding method for a semiconductor device according to  claim 5 , wherein
 said other mold part has a press member that elastically deforms and,   in said step of closing, said press member presses said release film against said transparent member.   
     
     
         8 . The resin encapsulation molding method for a semiconductor device according to  claim 5 , wherein
 said device-mounted substrate has an adhesive film that is placed between said substrate and said semiconductor device and that elastically deforms.
