  • Patent number: 6828664
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a packaging substrate with electrostatic discharge protection. The packaging substrate is disposed in a recess of a mold and comprises an outer wall electrically connecting an inner wall of the recess. A first copper-mesh layer and a second copper-mesh layer extend to the outer wall to electrically connect the inner wall of the recess. Static electric charges generated during the molding process are conducted via the first copper-mesh layer or the second copper-mesh layer to the inner wall of the recess and then conducted away. Therefore, the static electric charges generated during the molding process can be safely conducted away from the packaging substrate, preventing the dies to be packaged from damage due to electrostatic discharge so as to raise the yield rate of semiconductor package products.
