Abstract: In an integrated circuit (IC) chip and a flip chip package having the same, no wiring line is provided and the first electrode pad does not make contact with the wiring line in a pad area of the IC chip. Thus, the first bump structure makes contact with the first electrode regardless of the wiring line in the pad area. The second electrode pad makes contact with the wiring line in a pseudo pad area of the IC chip. Thus, the second bump structure in the pseudo pad area makes contact with an upper surface of the second electrode at a contact point(s) spaced apart from the wiring line under the second electrode.

The bonding pad is formed on the substrate, and adhered to a solder ball to mount a semiconductor chip on the substrate. The induction heating pad is disposed adjacent to the bonding pad, the induction heating pad being induction heated by an applied alternating magnetic field to reflow the solder ball.

Accordingly, during a reflow process for a solder ball, the semiconductor chip may be mounted on the mounting substrate to complete a semiconductor package without damaging the mounting substrate, to thereby improve the reliability of the completed semiconductor package.
