Appeal No. 1999-0884 Application No. 08/464,577 plurality of chip semiconductor devices stacked in multiple layers on a substrate. The method of forming a film carrier tape comprises the steps of superposing a metallic layer on a carrier member (page 6, lines 13-16) and etching the metallic layer so as to form metallic leads (page 6, lines 16-18) and a heat sink (page 6, lines 19-28) separate from the metallic leads. The heat sink is to be formed in a direction transverse to that in which the metallic leads extend (page 6, lines 19-28; Figs. 1 and 2). The metallic leads are connected to the semiconductor chip and/or a connector therefor (page 7, lines 4-6), and the heat sink is coupled to the semiconductor device to radiate heat therefrom (page 6, lines 23-28). The method of forming a multi-chip semiconductor device comprises the steps of providing a film carrier tape with leads (page 6, lines 11-13), electrically connecting a semiconductor chip to the leads of the film carrier tape (page 7, lines 4-7), mounting a heat sink to a surface of the semiconductor chip 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
