Abstract: A flow formed encapsulated integrated circuit package (100) includes a printed circuit substrate (160) having upper and lower opposed surfaces and one or more anchor holes (150). The one or more anchor holes (150) have an upper aperture in the upper surface and a lower aperture in the lower surface. One or more integrated circuit die (130) are electrically and mechanically attached to the upper surface of the substrate (160). In addition, a solder resist mask (190) is attached to the lower surface of the substrate which covers the aperture of the one or more anchor holes (150). Flow formed material (110) is formed around the integrated circuit die (130) so as to encapsulate the one or more integrated circuits (150), the flow formed material (110) covering at a least a portion of the upper surface of the printed circuit substrate (160) and extending substantially into the anchor hole (150).
