Abstract
The subject method comprises providing a semiconductor package and a semiconductor package substrate having respective first and second major sides. A stiffener member, which is attachable to the semiconductor package substrate, is employed for purposes of minimizing package warpage. The stiffener member is attached to the semiconductor package substrate to provide the requisite support for the semiconductor package substrate during the assembly process and thereby counteract the sources of the package warpage problem. A protective outer layer can be optionally added to the subject system.
