A method of fabricating wafer level chip scale packages may involve forming a hole to penetrate through a chip pad of an IC chip. A base metal layer may be formed on a first face of a wafer to cover inner surfaces of the hole. An electrode metal layer may fill the hole and rise over the chip pad. A second face of the wafer may be grinded such that the electrode metal layer in the hole may be exposed through the second face. By electroplating, a plated bump may be formed on the electrode metal layer exposed through the second face. The base metal layer may be selectively removed to isolate adjacent electrode metal layers. The wafer may be sawed along scribe lanes to separate individual packages from the wafer.

The present invention provides an LOC package wherein the lead frame is in direct contact with the semiconductor device. The lead frame, which includes openings, is positioned directly on the semiconductor device. An adhesive material is applied in the opening in the lead frame. This adhesive material contacts both the lead frame and the semiconductor device. The lead frame is therefore securely held to the semiconductor device. Wires can then be bonded to contact pads on the semiconductor device and to the lead frame.
