A device is provided in which a glass panel having beveled edge is flexibly connected to a TAB package. The outer lead portions of the TAB package include an end portion of first width connected to a connection pattern on the glass panel, a terminal portion having a second width greater than the first width, and a transition portion having a width that varies between the first and second widths. When the TAB package is connected the transition portion of the respective outer lead portions are disposed over the beveled edge of the glass panel.
Abstract:
A semiconductor chip, having an active surface including a peripheral area and a central area, presents a connection area formed on a portion of the peripheral area. The semiconductor chip includes output pads formed in the peripheral area of the active surface and input pads formed in the central area of the active surface. The input pads may be connected to wiring patterns of a TAB tape passing over the connection area.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a tape wiring board in accordance with the present invention may employ an imprinting process in forming a wiring pattern thereby reducing the number of processes for manufacturing a tape wiring board and allowing the manufacturing process to proceed in a single production line. Therefore, the manufacturing time and cost may be reduced. A profile of the wiring pattern may be determined by the shape of an impression pattern of a mold. This may establish the top width of inner and outer leads and incorporate fine pad pitch. Although ILB and OLB process may use an NCP, connection reliability may be established due to the soft and elastic wiring pattern.
Abstract:
A tape circuit substrate comprises a base film made of an insulating material, and a wiring pattern layer which is formed on the base film and has first leads that are connected to electrode pads arranged near a periphery of a semiconductor chip and second leads that are connected to electrode pads arranged near the center of the semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip package comprises a semiconductor chip electrically bonded to the tape circuit substrate through chip bumps. In such a case, each of the leads is configured such that a tip end thereof to be bonded to the electrode pad has a width larger than that of a body portion thereof. According to the present invention, since the interval between the lead and the electrode pad can be made even narrower, a fine pitch semiconductor device can be realized.

Abstract:
Provided are a flexible film package module and a method of manufacturing the same that can be adapted for manufacture at lower cost and/or to adapt the characteristics of the flexible film package module for specific applications. The lower-cost flexible film package module includes a tape film that combines both a first insulating substrate, typically formed from a higher-cost polyimide material, and a second insulating substrate, typically formed from an insulating material or materials that are less expensive and/or provide modified performance when compared with the first insulating material. Both the first and second substrates will include complementary circuit patterns that will be electrically and physically connected to allow the composite substrate to function as a unitary substrate. The first and second substrates will also include connection regions that may be adapted for connection to printed circuit boards and/or electronic devices such as liquid crystal displays.
Abstract:
Provided are a method of forming a bump whose upper surface is substantially flat and whose area can be enlarged in a uniform pad pitch to simplify mounting a liquid crystal display drive IC (LDI) and a semiconductor chip and a mount structure using the method to minimize a pad area inside the chip. Thus, the pad area on an edge of a conventional chip is minimized and the bump is formed in a substantially flat location inside the chip and an electrical connection between the pad and the bump is performed by a redistribution metal line.
Abstract:
A semiconductor chip, a TCP on which the semiconductor chip may be mounted, and/or an LCD apparatus which may include the TCP may be reduced in size by reducing the circuit patterns which may pass through the base film and bypass patterns which may be formed in wiring patterns within the chip. The size and/or manufacturing costs of the TCP and LCD apparatus may be reduced by changing circuit patterns which may pass through the base film.

Abstract:
A semiconductor chip has connection lines that are routed to the side surface from bump pads on the back surface of the chip. Such semiconductor chips are stacked on a circuit board to form a chip stack package while bumps are interposed between the bump pads of the lower chip and bonding pads of the upper chip. Further, an interconnecting member such as a conductive adhesive or a wiring board is applied to the side surfaces of the stacked chips such that the connection lines are connected to the interconnecting member. Therefore, the centrally disposed bonding pads of the chips are electrically connected to the circuit board through the bumps, the bump pad, the connection lines and the interconnecting member. The semiconductor chip may have heat dissipation part formed on the back surface. Methods of manufacturing the semiconductor chip and the chip stack package are also provided.
