Abstract
A mounting structure is provided which improves the reliability of the connection between the bumps at the four corners of a flip-chip mounted semiconductor chip which is subject to stress concentrations caused by board warping or a difference in thermal coefficient of expansion when subjecting the mounted chip to thermal cycling tests. In this structure, a sealing resin is caused to flow into a space between the semiconductor chip and the board at the four corners of the semiconductor chip, thereby forming large resin fillets at the four corners, these fillets relieving the above-noted stress at the bump connection parts of the four corners of the semiconductor chip, thereby causing an improvement in reliability of the connection. The flowing distance is shortened and simultaneous flowing resin is performed, thereby shortening the time required for sealing.
