Patent ID: 7599193

Claim:
A semiconductor chip package comprising: a tape circuit substrate with an integrated circuit mounted over a chip mount portion, the tape circuit substrate including: a base film; a first wiring, disposed on the base film, that extends into the chip mount portion through a first side and that bends within the chip mount portion toward a second side, wherein the first wiring ends at a first pad of the integrated circuit, and wherein the first pad is disposed toward the second side within the chip mount portion; a second wiring, disposed on the base film, that extends into the chip mount portion through a third side and that bends within the chip mount portion toward the second side, wherein the second wiring ends at a second pad of the integrated circuit, and wherein the second pad is disposed toward the second side within the chip mount portion, wherein the first, second, and third sides are different sides of the chip mount portion; and bypass wiring, disposed on the base film, that extends parallel to the second side when the bypass wiring is disposed in one of outside of or within the chip mount portion; and a semiconductor chip mounted over the chip mount portion and having electrode pads coupled to the first and second wirings, wherein the first and second wirings and the semiconductor chip are formed above a same surface of the base film, and wherein the integrated circuit is mounted directly on the base film without another base film being disposed between the integrated circuit and said base film having the integrated circuit directly mounted thereon; wherein the bypass wiring is disconnected from the semiconductor chip.
