Abstract
A wafer process for molded chip scale package (MCSP) comprises: depositing metal bumps on bonding pads of chips on a wafer; forming a first packaging layer at a front surface of the wafer to cover the metal bumps; forming an un-covered ring at an edge of the wafer to expose two ends of each scribe line of a plurality of scribe lines; thinning the first packaging layer to expose metal bumps; forming cutting grooves; grinding a back surface of the wafer to form a recessed space and a support ring at the edge of the wafer; depositing a metal seed layer at a bottom surface of the wafer in the recessed space; cutting off an edge portion of the wafer; flipping and mounting the wafer on a substrate; depositing a metal layer covering the metal seed layer; removing the substrate from the wafer; and separating individual chips from the wafer by cutting through the first packaging layer, the wafer, the metal seed layers and the metal layers along the scribe lines.
