Abstract:
1. A die-up exposed die integrated circuit (IC) package comprising: a substrate having opposing first and second surfaces, wherein a plurality of contact pads on the first surface of the substrate are electrically connected to a plurality of bond pads on the second surface of the substrate, wherein the substrate further has a central opening that is open at the first and second surfaces of the substrate; an IC die having opposing first and second surfaces, wherein the IC die is located in the central opening, wherein the second surface of the IC die is configured to be coupled to a printed circuit board (PCB), and wherein the IC package is configured to be mounted to the PCB; at least one wirebond that couples at least one bond pad on the first surface of the IC die to at least one bond pad on the second surface of the substrate; and an encapsulating material that encapsulates the IC die and at least one wirebonds such that the second surface of the IC die is exposed, wherein the encapsulating material suspends the IC die in the opening.
