Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit package comprising: a semiconductor die mounted to a die attach pad; a plurality of contact pads circumscribing said die attach pad; each of said contact pads having, wire bonds connecting said semiconductor die to at least one of said contact pads; an overmold covering a first side of said semiconductor die, said wire bonds, said internal peripheral portion of each of said contact pads, and a portion of the first side of said contact pads such that a remaining portion of said first side of said contact pads is uncovered and the second side of said contact pads is uncovered; external contacts disposed on said first side of said contact pads, at the uncovered remaining portion, the external contacts forming balls which protrude from said overmold; and at least one of an active and a passive component mounted to said second side of at least one of, said die attach pad and at least one of said contact pads, wherein a maximum thickness of the central portion of each of the plurality of contact pads is substantially equal to a combined thickness of the die attach pad and the semiconductor die.
