  • Publication number: 20140021593
    Abstract: A semiconductor package may include a circuit board chip having a through-hole, a semiconductor device mounted on the circuit board chip, and an encapsulant. The encapsulant encapsulates the semiconductor device, fills the through-hole and has an external pattern that is the complement of a mold within which the encapsulant was formed. The external pattern on one side of the package reflects a mold shape that retards the flow of encapsulant material relative to the flow of encapsulant material on the opposite side of the package.
