Abstract:
1. A method for sealing a semiconductor component comprising a substrate and at least one circuit region and electrodes formed on a surface thereof the circuit region being sealed with a resin, the method comprising the steps of: (1) applying a resist material onto the substrate surface where the circuit and electrodes are formed, to form a resist layer, (2) selectively exposing the resist layer to radiation and developing the resist layer with a liquid developer such that only the portion of the resist layer which overlies the circuit region is removed, (3) applying a resin sealant onto the circuit region which is exposed as a result of selective removal of the resist layer and curing the resin sealant into a cured resin layer that covers the circuit region, and (4) removing the residual resist layer using a solvent which can dissolve the resist, but not the cured resin layer.
