Abstract:
1. Apparatus comprising: a chip-scale package for semiconductor devices including a generally rectangular substrate having (i) three dimensions including a length, a width, and a thickness, (ii) each dimension being generally orthogonal to the other dimensions, (iii) the substrate length being greater than or equal to the substrate width; and (iv) length and width defining a first generally planar surface on which one or more semiconductor dice may be mounted and a generally planar second surface on which two or more conductive terminals may be formed, (v) the first and second surfaces having a first edge and a second edge defined by the substrate length; the second surface comprising a first zone and a second zone, the first and second zones each being generally rectangular in shape, having a zone length substantially equal to the substrate length and being located adjacent to the first and second edges, respectively, and having an area occupying substantially half of the second surface; a first terminal having a contact area disposed on the second surface, occupying substantially all of the first zone, and having an outside edge occupying substantially all of the first edge; a second terminal having a contact area disposed on the second surface, occupying substantially all of the second zone, and having an outside edge occupying substantially all of the second edge.
