Abstract: The disclosure provides a semiconductor package substrate made from non-metallic material having a first top surface, a second bottom surface opposite from the first surface, and at least one side surface, the substrate includes at least two pads positioned on the first surface and suitable for receiving an electronic element, an encapsulant material layer covering the first surface, at least two terminals positioned on the second surface and electrically connected to the pads, and a portion of at least one of the two terminals is exposed at the at least one side surface and structured as a wettable flank.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cyclization process of forming a multiple ring compound from an isoprenoid compound. The cyclization process involves reacting the isoprenoid compound with an acetal initiator under conditions sufficient to form the multiple ring compound. The isoprenoid compound is contacted with an initiator and optionally with a catalyst. Cyclization occurs by reaction of the initiator with the isoprenoid compound. Cyclic acetal compounds wherein the acetal forms part of 6-membered unsaturated ring are also defined.
