Abstract: There is provided a ball grid array package for housing semiconductor devices. The package has a metallic base with conductive vias extending through holes formed in the base. The conductive vias terminate adjacent an exterior surface of the base. A dielectric coating on at least part of the base and through hole walls electrically isolates the metallic base from the package circuitry.
