  • Publication number: 20080009104
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor package having electromagnetic interference shielding starts with providing a substrate and a semiconductor device. Subsequently, a molding compound is provided. The molding compound covers the semiconductor device, and contacts with parts of the substrate. Next, a conductive adhesive layer is formed on the surface of the molding compound, and directly covers the top surface and the side surface of the molding compound. Because the conductive adhesive layer is utilized as an electromagnetic interference shielding, the fabricating process of the electromagnetic interference shielding is extremely simplified.

  • Patent number: 6877653
    Abstract: A method of modifying the tin to lead ratio of a tin-lead bump forms a patterned solder mask over a substrate that comprises a first tin-lead bump formed thereon, the patterned solder mask having an opening that exposes the tin-lead bump. A solder material including tin and lead is filled in the opening of the solder mask over the first tin-lead bump. The solder material has a tin to lead ratio that differs from that of the first tin-lead bump. The solder material is reflowed to fuse with the first tin-lead bump, which forms a second tin-lead bump. The tin to lead ratio of the second tin-lead bump is thereby different from that of the first tin-lead bump.
