The present invention relates to a semiconductor package. The semiconductor package includes a substrate, at least one chip, a plurality of conductive elements, a plurality of first conductors and a molding compound. The substrate has a plurality of first pads and a solder mask. The first pads are exposed to a first surface of the substrate, and the material of the first pads is copper. The solder mask is disposed on the first surface, contacts the first pads directly, and has at least one opening so as to expose part of the first pads. The chip is mounted on the first surface of the substrate. The conductive elements electrically connect the chip and the substrate. The first conductors are disposed on the first pads. The molding compound is disposed on the first surface of the substrate, and encapsulates the chip, the conductive elements and part of the first conductors. Whereby, the solder mask contacts the first pads directly, and thus results in higher bonding strength, so as to avoid the bridge between the first conductors caused by the first conductors permeating into the interface between the solder mask and the first pads.

Substrate structure having a solder mask and a process for making the same

The present invention provides an electronic packaging process. The surface of the chip carrier includes at least a chip attachment region and a film attachment region adjacent to the chip attachment region. At least a baffle is formed on the surface of the chip carrier, between the chip attachment region and the film attachment region. After attaching the thin film to the film attachment region of the chip carrier through an affixture layer, the chip is electrically and physically connected to the chip attachment region of the chip carrier through an adhesive layer. The baffle can effectively prevent the gas that is released from the adhesive layer from damaging the bonding between the thin film and the affixture layer. Therefore, almost no bubbles are formed and good electrical connection between the thin film and the affixture layer is maintained.

As a result, it can preferably provide additional mounting support between the two. The connection structure can be formed from cured adhesive. The present invention also provides a method of manufacturing the semiconductor package.
