Abstract
An aggregate of semiconductor devices, including semiconductor packages packaging the semiconductor devices, the packages being on a tape which is wound on a reel, is provided. The aggregate of semiconductor devices includes the semiconductor packages arranged consecutively on a first tape; and the aggregate also includes a second tape, which is a spacer tape, having spacers (protrusions), provided between adjacent windings of the first tape on the reel, providing spaces for the semiconductor packages. The semiconductor packages can be provided with bumps, e.g., on the side of the first tape opposite the side of the first tape having the semiconductor packages thereon, and the first tape can be a flexible printed circuit board.
