According to an example embodiment, a semiconductor chip package includes a substrate comprising a substrate body having a first main surface, a second main surface, and a cavity that defines an opening in the first main surface, and a layer of electrically conductive material integral with the substrate body. The layer of electrically conductive material constitutes an interconnection pattern of the substrate. The semiconductor chip packages further includes a semiconductor chip disposed within the cavity and mounted to the substrate. The chip includes electrical contacts in the form of pads and the pads face in a direction towards the bottom of the cavity such that the chip has a flip-chip orientation with respect to the substrate. The pads are electrically conductively bonded to respective portions of the interconnection pattern.
