Finally, the photo resist is etched away to expose the terminals of the conductive traces. The exposed terminals serve as bond pads or fingers where solder balls, bumps or wires are bonded for electrical connection purpose.

Abstract: A low profile stack semiconductor package is proposed. A lower chip having centrally-situated bond pads is mounted on a substrate, and electrically connected to the substrate by bonding wires.
