Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating a semiconductor package having conductive bumps on a chip, comprising the steps of: preparing a wafer comprising a plurality of chips, each chip having an active surface and an opposite inactive surface, and having a plurality of bond pads formed on the active surface; forming a plurality of conductive bumps respectively on the bond pads of each of the chips; singulating the wafer to separate the plurality of chips, each chip having a plurality of the conductive bumps thereon; providing a carrier for accommodating the plurality of chips, and mounting the conductive bumps of each of the chips on a surface of the carrier; forming an encapsulation body on the surface of the carrier for encapsulating the chips and the conductive bumps; removing the carrier to allow ends of the conductive bumps to be exposed outside of the encapsulation body and flush with a surface of the encapsulation body; forming a plurality of conductive traces on the surface of the encapsulation body and electrically connecting the conductive traces to the exposed ends of the conductive bumps; applying a solder mask layer over the conductive traces and forming a plurality of openings through the solder mask layer for exposing predetermined portions of the conductive traces; depositing a plurality of solder balls respectively on the exposed portions of the conductive traces; and cutting the encapsulation body to form a plurality of individual semiconductor packages each having at least one of the singulated chips.
