Abstract:
1. A microelectronic component package, comprising: a microelectronic component having an active surface with bond pads and a non-active surface opposite from the active surface; an encapsulant encapsulating the microelectronic component, the encapsulant having a front face closer to the active surface of the microelectronic component package than to the non-active surface, a back face opposite from the front face, and a peripheral edge; a plurality of electrical leads, at least some of which are electrically coupled to the bond pads at the active side of the microelectronic component, each of the electrical leads having an exposed length extending transversely outwardly beyond the peripheral edge of the encapsulant, wherein the exposed lengths of the leads are configured to be connected to contacts of a separate substrate; and a plurality of terminals arranged in a first ball-grid array, each of the terminals having an electrically conductive contact surface exposed through the front face of the encapsulant and an encased surface directly opposite the contact surface, wherein the encased surface is oriented toward one of the faces of the microelectronic component, wherein the encased surface of the terminals is covered by the encapsulant and is electrically insulated within the encapsulant, and wherein the terminals are wider than the exposed portions of the leads.
