Abstract:
A method of making an integrated circuit (IC) package with an electrostatic protected IC substrate, said method comprising:(a) selecting an IC chip, the IC chip having contact pads on one surface thereof;(b) providing an IC substrate;(c) forming a plurality of conductive traces on a first surface of the IC substrate;(d) forming a layer of solder resist over said plurality of conductive traces;(e) removing a portion of the layer of solder resist exposing a portion of said conductive traces;(f) electrically shorting the exposed portion of said conductive traces together with a conducting material to ground the traces;(g) attaching the IC chip to the first surface of the IC substrate; and(h) electrically connecting the contact pads of the IC chip to the conductive traces, thereby making an IC package with an electrostatic protected IC substrate.
