A device and a method for controlling resin bleed, the device comprising a substrate having a surface, wherein an interior region, a peripheral region, and an exterior region of the surface are generally defined. An adhesive generally resides on the surface of the substrate in the peripheral region thereof, wherein the adhesive comprises a plurality of components, such as a metal and a resin. A first barrier is formed on the surface of the substrate generally between the adhesive and the exterior region, wherein the first barrier generally prevents one or more of the plurality of components of the adhesive from bleeding onto the exterior region of the surface of the substrate.

Semiconductor device having resin anti-bleed feature

In accordance with the invention, integrated circuit dies may be packaged in a plastic package employing an area area array technology such as a conductive ball grid array, column grid array or pin grid array. One aspect of the invention is an integrated circuit package (10) which includes an electronic circuit enclosed by a plastic body (12, 14). The molded plastic body has a first major surface opposing a second major surface. The first major surface of integrated circuit (10) has a plurality of openings therein. One of a plurality of conductive pads (18) is adjacent to each one of the openings and is electrically connected to the electronic circuit. Each of a plurality of conductors (20) is electrically connected to one of the pads (18) and protrudes from one of the openings (22).
