    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes: a first encapsulant having tapered through holes each having a wide top and a narrow bottom; tapered electrical contacts disposed in the tapered through holes; circuits disposed on a top surface of the first encapsulant and each having one end connecting one of the electrical contacts and the other end having a bonding pad disposed thereon such that the bonding pads are circumferentially arranged to define a die attach area on the top surface of the first encapsulant. As such, a semiconductor chip can be disposed on the top surface of the first encapsulant in the die attach area and electrically connected to the bonding pads through conductive elements, and further a second encapsulant encapsulates the semiconductor chip, the conductive elements, the circuits and the first encapsulant so as to prevent falling off of the electrical contacts and reduce the length of the conductive elements.

  • Patent number: 8345435
    Abstract: A conductor having a projecting portion is formed which forms a terminal portion. An uncured prepreg including a reinforcing material is closely attached to the conductor and the prepreg is cured to form an insulating film including the reinforcing material. When the prepreg is closely attached, the prepreg is stretched by the projecting portion, so that a region of the prepreg, which is closely attached to the conductor, can be thinner than the other region of the prepreg. Then, by reducing the thickness of the entire insulating film, an opening can be formed in the portion having a smaller thickness. The step of reducing the thickness can be performed by etching. Further, it is preferable not to remove the reinforcing material in this step. The strength of a terminal and an electronic device can be increased by leaving the reinforcing material at the opening.
