Abstract:
A method of encapsulating a semiconductor substrate array, comprising:providing a semiconductor substrate array including a substrate having a first surface and a second surface, at least one of the first and second surfaces comprising a plurality of conductors, at least one of the first and second surfaces comprising a plurality of die attach areas with a plurality of integrated circuit semiconductor dice mounted respectively thereto; providing a mold, the mold comprising a mold platen having a mold cavity of a size sufficient to encompass all of the plurality of integrated circuit semiconductor dice mounted to the die attach areas; providing a plurality of support elements for supporting the substrate at points between adjacent die attach areas of the plurality of die attach areas to minimize deflection of the substrate towards the mold cavity; placing the substrate into the mold; flowing encapsulant material into the mold cavity; and allowing the encapsulant material to harden and cure over a surface of the substrate.
