Abstract
A patterned, non-conductive substrate for an integrated circuit (IC) package has a die side configured to receive a die and a lead side opposite the die side. A pattern formed in the substrate defines openings (e.g., holes, steps, grooves, and/or cavities) that extend between the die side and the lead side of the substrate. In the IC package, the openings are filled with conductive material (e.g., solder) that supports electrical connections between bond pads on the die and leads formed from the conductive material. The substrate can be used to form a relatively inexpensive, quad flat no-lead (QFN) IC package without using a metal lead frame and without bond wires.
