  • Patent number: 6266251
    Abstract: A Plastic Ball Grid Array electronic package of the Cavity Down type particularly for use in high-frequency applications. In these packages the substrate has a cavity for receiving an active device (chip), which is usually attached to the substrate by means of the layer of glue. Due to the small dimensions of the chip and the gap between the chip and the cavity walls, it is extremely difficult to control the right quantity of glue in the dispensing operations. When the chip is pressed against the bottom of the cavity the glue may overflow and damage the circuits. According to the present invention, a secondary cavity is created inside the primary one and acts as a reservoir for the glue in excess.
