Patent ID: 7981788

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a first component having a first main surface, a first electrode formed on the first main surface, and a first back surface opposing the first main surface; (b) mounting a second component over the first component such that a second back surface of the second component faces the first main surface of the first component, and such that the first electrode is spaced from the second component in a plan view, the second component having a second main surface opposing the second back surface and a second electrode formed on the second main surface; (c) mounting a third component over the second component such that a third back surface of the third component faces the second main surface of the second component, and such that the second electrode is spaced from the third component in the plan view, the third component having a third main surface opposing the third back surface and a third electrode formed on the third main surface; (d) forming a first bump on the second electrode of the second component; (e) electrically connecting the first electrode of the first component and the first bump on the second electrode of the second component via a first wire; and (f) electrically connecting the first bump on the second electrode of the second component and the third electrode of the third component with a second wire, wherein step (e) includes: (e1) connecting a first part of the first wire and the first electrode of the first component by using a capillary, the first wire leading out of the capillary through a through hole of the capillary; (e2) after step (e1), moving the capillary in a reverse operation from the first electrode away from the second component to a first position, the third component being mounted over the second component such that a horizontal distance from the first bump to an edge of the third component closest to the second electrode is less than a horizontal movement distance of the reverse operation from the first electrode to the first position; (e3) after step (e2), moving the capillary from the first position to the first bump on the second electrode of the second component; and (e4) after step (e3), electrically connecting a second part of the first wire with the first bump on the second electrode of the second component, wherein, in said plan view, the first bump on the second electrode has a central axis perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the second part of the first wire, and wherein step (f) includes: (f1) connecting a first part of the second wire and the first bump on the second electrode of the second component by using a capillary such that, in said plan view, a tip of the first part of the second wire extends across said axis of the first bump and does not extend outside a perimeter of the second electrode.
