Tape carrier for increasing the number of terminals between the tape carrier and a substrate

摘要

A tape carrier (100) for increasing the number of terminals (10,11) between the tape carrier (100) and a substrate (101) includes a film (19),a lead (7), a terminal (10) and a connection (5). The film (19) has first and second surfaces and includes first and second regions. The first region of the film is covered with a device (8) when the device (8) is received by the first surface of the film (19). The film (19) has an opening (3) between the first and second regions. The lead (7) is provided on the first surface of the film and extends above the opening of the film. The lead (7) is coupled to the device (8) at the opening (3) of the film (19) when the device (8) is received by the first surface of the film (19). The terminal (10) is provided on the second surface in the first region of the film (19). The connection (5) connects the lead (7) to the terminal (10). The lead (7) and the device (8) are connected together by thermocompression bonding with a thermode (16) inserted into the opening (3) of the film (19).
