Abstract
A method for fabricating LGA-, LCCY- and BGA-types of very thin, chip size semi-conductor packages (“VCSP's”) includes substantially reducing the thickness of a semiconductor wafer containing the semiconductor chips to be packaged by grinding and/or etching the wafer from its back side prior to singulation of the chips from the wafer. The thinned-down chips thus produced are electrically connected to corresponding insulative substrates contained in an integral array thereof using the “flip chip” interconnection method. The narrow row space between the chips and the substrates are sealed with an underfill material, and the individual, finished VCSP's are then singulated from the array.
