  • Publication number: 20020000656
    Abstract: A ball grid array package and its packaging process is described. A thermal dissipation substrate has a first surface and a second surface. An insulating layer and a copper foil are built up sequentially on the second surface. The copper foil is patterned to form multiple of conducting wire traces, and then a solder resist is coated on the surfaces of both the conducting wire traces and the insulating layer. Afterwards, part of the surfaces of the conducting wire traces is exposed to form multiple bonding fingers and multiple ball pads. Moreover, an aperture is formed at the center of the thermal dissipation substrate and insulating layer to penetrate through the thermal dissipation substrate and the insulating layer. Furthermore, a chip having its active surface bound to the first surface and has multiple bonding wires passing through the aperture to electrically connect the bonding pads to bonding fingers.

  • Patent number: 6291260
    Abstract: A crack-preventive substrate for fabricating a solder mask in a device site region includes a substrate, which has a top surface and a bottom surface, and a solder mask layer. The substrate is divided into a device site region and a periphery region. The solder mask layer, disposed on the top surface and bottom surface of the substrate, forms a bare area on the top surface and bottom surface of the substrate by exposing a portion of the substrate on the top surface and bottom surface of the substrate. And the bare areas divide the solder mask layer into a “device site region solder mask layer” and a “periphery region solder mask layer”. As a result, the crack lines generated on the solder mask layer at the perimeter of the substrate will not develop toward the solder mask in the device site region.

  • Patent number: 6218731
    Abstract: A tiny ball grid array package based on a substrate. The substrate has at least an insulation layer and two copper foils laminated together. A hole is formed near the center of the substrate. A second one of the copper foils is patterned into multiple conductive traces formed on a surface of the substrate, while a first one of the copper foils has a surface partly exposed. The first copper foil is coupled with the conductive traces by vias, meanwhile, the first copper foil is grounded to form a ground plane, so as to improve the electrically properties and the heat dissipation efficiency. Bonding pads are formed in one surface of a chip. This surface is thermal-conductively connected to the grounded level, and the bonding pads are located in the hole. The bonding pads are electrically connected to a near end of a conductive trace by a conductive wire, and solder balls are attached at a far end of the conductive trace.
