Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating a semiconductor module, the method comprising: bonding a semiconductor substrate onto a first insulating resin layer having an expansibility in a manner such that one main surface of the semiconductor substrate is in contact with the first insulating resin layer, the semiconductor substrate having a plurality of semiconductor devices formed therein, each of the semiconductor devices having device electrodes provided on the one main surface thereof; dicing the semiconductor substrate into a plurality of individual semiconductor devices; widening spaces between adjacent semiconductor devices by expanding the first insulating resin layer in a biaxially stretched manner; placing a second insulating resin layer and a flat sheet at a side of the other main surface of the plurality of semiconductor devices, fixing the plurality of semiconductor devices to the flat sheet with the second insulating resin layer held between the plurality of semiconductor devices and the flat sheet, and removing the first insulating resin layer, while the first insulating resin layer is being expanded; stacking the plurality of semiconductor devices fixed to the flat sheet with the second insulating resin layer held therebetween, a third insulating resin layer, and a metallic sheet, in this order, so as to form a laminated body having electrodes by which to electrically connect the device electrodes of each of the semiconductor devices to the metallic sheet; forming a wiring layer corresponding to each of the semiconductor devices by selectively removing the metallic sheet, and forming a plurality of semiconductor modules joined with each other by the flat sheet, the second insulating resin layer and the third insulating resin layer; and separating the semiconductor modules into individual units by cutting the second insulating resin layer and the third insulating resin layer and removing the flat sheet from the second insulating resin layer in random order, wherein the flat sheet and the second insulating resin layer are bonded to each other with a fourth insulating resin layer, having an exfoliation function, held between the flat sheet and the second insulating resin layer.
