Abstract: A thermal enhanced ball grid array package is provided. The substrate for the package includes a metal core layer and at least a first patterned wiring layer provided thereon. A first insulating layer is provided between the first patterned wiring layer and the metal core layer. At least a second patterned wiring layer is provided on the substrate, opposite to the surface having the first patterned wiring layer. A second insulating layer having solder balls between the second patterned wiring layer and the metal core layer. The second patterned wiring layer is electrically connected to the first patterned wiring layer. Blind vias are provided in the second patterned wiring layer and the second insulating layer. A heat conductive material or solder material is filled into the blind vias to form thermal balls. The heat from the chip to the metal core layer is transferred directly through the thermal balls.
