Method of producing a semiconductor device
First Claim
1. A method of producing a resin-sealed semiconductor device including a semiconductor chip, electrodes connected to said semiconductor chip, and terminals mounted on said electrodes and projecting up from said electrodes, said method comprising the steps of:
- covering said semiconductor chip and said electrodes with a layer of silicone gel without contacting said terminals with said silicone gel;
heating said silicone gel layer to a holding temperature to thermally expand said silicone gel layer;
covering said silicone gel layer with a layer of resin having a coefficient of thermal expansion less than that of said silicone gel while maintaining said silicone gel thermally expanded at said holding temperature, said resin contacting said terminals projecting up from said silicone gel layer; and
heating said resin to a curing temperature higher than said holding temperature to cure said resin.

Abstract
There is provided a method of producing a semiconductor device comprising a protecting silicone gel layer which covers a semiconductor chip and bonding wires for taking electrodes out of this chip, and a resin layer which has a smaller thermal expansion coefficient than that of this silicone gel layer at least part of which contacts the silicone gel layer. This method comprises the steps of: thermally expanding the silicone gel layer until it reaches the product environmental guarantee temperature which comes before the cure acceleration reaction in the resin layer; and completely curing the resin layer while maintaining the volume of the silicone gel layer at the same time, thereby fixedly adhering it with the other parts.

6. A method of sealing a semiconductor device having at least one projecting element bonded to and projecting up from said semiconductor device, comprising the steps of:
-
surrounding said semiconductor device with a casing; filling a first portion of said casing with a heat-expandable and heat-curable gel, said gel covering said semiconductor device without contacting said projecting element, and said projecting element projecting up through said gel; heating said gel to thermally expand and cure said gel in an expanded state; filling a second portion of said casing with a heat-curable resin while maintaining said gel in said expanded state, said resin covering said gel and surrounding and contacting said projecting element, said projecting element projecting up through said resin; and heating said resin to a temperature sufficient to cure said resin while maintaining said gel in said expanded state. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
