  • Patent number: 8546943
    Abstract: Provided is a ball grid array substrate, a semiconductor chip package, and a method of manufacturing the same. The ball grid array substrate includes an insulating layer having a first surface providing a mounting region for a semiconductor chip, a second surface opposing the first surface, and an opening connecting the second surface with the mounting region of the semiconductor chip, and a circuit pattern buried in the second surface. Since the ball grid array substrate is manufactured by a method of stacking two insulating layers, existing devices can be used, and the ball grid array substrate can be manufactured as an ultra thin plate. In addition, since the circuit pattern is buried in the insulating layer, a high-density circuit pattern can be formed.

  • Patent number: 8546942
    Abstract: Disclosed is a flip-chip semiconductor device having isotropic electrical interconnection, primarily comprising a chip and a substrate. The chip has at least a first bump and a plurality of second bumps. The substrate has a plurality of bump pads disposed on the top surface and an isotropic connecting mechanism disposed inside the substrate consisting of a plurality of terminals electrically isolated from each other and a flexible vertical pad protruded from the top surface, wherein the disposition locations of the terminals circle around the flexible vertical pad as a disposition center. When the second bumps of the chip are bonded onto the corresponding bump pads, the first bump presses and bends the flexible vertical pad in a specific horizontal direction so that the flexible vertical pad selectively and electrically connect to a selected one of the terminals.
