Abstract
A semiconductor component includes a stiffener, a circuit decal attached to the stiffener, and a semiconductor die attached to the stiffener. The circuit decal includes conductors which function as an internal signal transmission system for the component, and a mask layer which functions as a solder mask and an outer insulating layer for the component. An adhesive layer in physical contact with the conductors attaches the circuit decal to the stiffener, and electrically insulates the conductors from the stiffener. The component also includes an area array of terminal contacts on the conductors electrically isolated by the mask layer. A method for fabricating the component includes the steps of attaching the circuit decal to the stiffener, attaching the die to the stiffener, interconnecting the die and the circuit decal, encapsulating the die, and forming the terminal contacts.
