Abstract
In accordance with the objectives of the invention a new method is provided to insert the underfill for flip-chip semiconductor devices. An IC chip is provided with solder bumps. The flip-chip is entered into an enclosed space, the heatsink forms the top of the enclosed space, the substrate forms the bottom of the enclosed space. The enclosed space is filled with a mold compound. This mold compound now surrounds the IC chip thereby including the area below the IC. The step of inserting the underfill as a separate processing step has thereby been eliminated.
