Abstract
A method for making low cost chip size semiconductor packages (“CSPs”) includes preparing a substrate having a first surface with metal pads and lands thereon, and an opposite second surface having openings in it through which the lands are exposed. A solder mask is formed over the first surface of the substrate, and has apertures in it through which the metal pads are exposed. At least one vent opening is formed through the substrate and solder mask. A semiconductor die is electrically connected to the substrate through the apertures in the solder mask using the “flip chip” connection method. A body of an insulative plastic material is formed on the surface of the solder mask that simultaneously overmolds the die and underfills the space between the solder mask and the die in a single step. Solder balls are attached to the lands through the openings in the second surface of the substrate to serve as package input/output terminals.
