Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for packaging a semiconductor device and the like to package the semiconductor device and the like completely associated with resin. A process for packaging a semiconductor device and the like according to the present invention comprises the steps of providing a tablet of thermoplastic resin such as epoxy resin, weighing the tablet for upper and lower packages, preheating the upper and lower packages, then compression molding the packages in a package shape, coating the opposed surfaces to be bonded of the upper and lower packages with a fusible bonding agent such as thermoplastic resin and/or bonding agent, then interposing a chip of a semiconductor device and the like between the upper package and the lower package, heating the upper and lower packages while supplying nitrogen gas in a vacuum molding machine, bonding the upper and lower packages, and conducting an antioxidation of a metal portion.
