Abstract
A semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the same, including: a substrate having a mounting surface formed with a plurality of bonding fingers and covered with an insulating layer, the insulating layer having an opening formed therein for exposing the bonding fingers; and a chip coupled to the substrate and including a body, a self-adhesive protective layer, and a plurality of bumps protruding from the self-adhesive protective layer. The self-adhesive protective layer is formed on the chip but leaves the bumps exposed. The self-adhesive protective layer is made of a photosensitive adhesive, thermosetting adhesive, or dielectric material. The chip is coupled to the substrate via the self-adhesive protective layer, thus allowing the bumps to be electrically connected to the bonding fingers and at least an end of the opening to be exposed. The method enables a more streamlined manufacturing process and lower fabrication costs by dispensing with adhesive dispensing.
