摘要:
A molding apparatus for use in forming a flexible substrate based package comprises a plurality of pots. Two flexible substrates are installed at two sides of the pots. A plurality of sets of chips mounted on the upper surface of the substrate wherein each set of chips is in an array arrangement. The molding apparatus further comprises a plurality of runners. Each runner independently extends from one side of the pot to one side of the substrate, and connects to a cavity of a upper part of a mold disposed on the substrate through a gate. The present invention characterized in that, the molding apparatus is provided with a first communication channel formed corresponding to one side of the substrate and a second communication channel formed corresponding to the other side of the substrate. The first and the second communication channels interconnect the cavities at two opposite sides thereof. Therefore, the molded product removed from the mold has a first and a second connection bar, which form interconnection at two opposite sides of each unit package body thereby integrating all unit package bodies, and thereby enhancing the mechanical strength of the molded product.
摘要:
A flexible substrate based BGA package mainly comprises a semiconductor chip securely attached onto a flexible film substrate through a nonconductive adhesive. The flexible film substrate is formed from a flexible film having a chip attaching area for carrying the semiconductor chip. The upper surface of the flexible film is provided with a plurality of chip connection pads, a plurality of solder pads, and at least a dummy pad which is disposed centrally on the chip attaching area. The purpose of the dummy pad is to increase the rigidity and strength of the central part of the chip attaching area. The chip connection pads are arranged about the periphery of the chip attaching area for electrically connected to the semiconductor chip. The solder pads are disposed about the dummy pad(s) and electrically connected to the corresponding chip connection pads. The flexible film has a plurality of through-holes formed corresponding to the solder pads such that each solder pad has a portion exposed within the corresponding through-hole for mounting a solder ball. A package body is formed over the semiconductor chip and the upper surface of the flexible film substrate.
