Abstract:
A process for manufacturing a semiconductor device, said process comprising:separating individual film substrates from a film substrate tape having a plurality of said film substrates continuously and integrally connected to each other, each said film substrate comprising a base film having first and second surfaces, a circuit pattern being formed on said first surface and a semiconductor element mounting section being formed on said second surface, said base film having an opening to which electrode terminals of a semiconductor element are exposed when said semiconductor element is mounted; adhering said individual film substrates to respective reinforcement members of a reinforcement frame having a plurality of said reinforcement members continuously and integrally connected to each other, each said reinforcement member having an accommodation hole to accommodate said semiconductor element, so that said semiconductor element mounting section is exposed in said accommodation hole, said opening is communicated with said accommodation hole, and a cavity to mount said semiconductor element is defined by a wall of said accommodation hole and said semiconductor mounting section; mounting said semiconductor element on said film substrate by adhering an electrode terminal forming surface of the semiconductor element to said mounting section so that electrode terminals of the semiconductor element are exposed in said opening; electrically connecting said electrode terminals exposed in said opening to said circuit patterns; sealing said opening with resin; and separating said individual reinforcement members from said reinforcement frame.
