Abstract:
1. A method of forming a semiconductor package having a substrate including first and second surfaces and one or more semiconductor die on the first surface of the substrate, the substrate including one or more holes between the first and second surfaces, the method comprising the steps of: (a) positioning the substrate within a molding chamber including at least one mold plate having a recessed section adjacent the one or more holes formed through the substrate; and (b) injecting a mold compound over the first surface of the substrate, the mold compound encapsulating the one or more semiconductor die and flowing through the one or more holes into the recessed section of the at least one mold plate to form a finger grip on the second surface of the substrate to facilitate removal of the semiconductor package from a slot in a host device in which the semiconductor package is used.
