Patent ID: 7951644

Claim:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a chip and a substrate, the chip comprising: a body having a first surface and an opposing second surface; a plurality of bumps formed on the first surface; and a self-adhesive protective layer formed on the first surface of the chip and leaving the bumps exposed, the bumps protruding from the self-adhesive protective layer, wherein the self-adhesive protective layer is made of a photosensitive adhesive, a thermosetting adhesive, or a dielectric material, the substrate having a mounting surface formed with a plurality of bonding fingers thereon and covered with an insulating layer thereon, the insulating layer having an opening formed therein to expose the bonding fingers; and (b) laminating the chip and the substrate to each other, thereby allowing the self-adhesive protective layer to fill the opening, the chip to be coupled to the substrate via the self-adhesive protective layer, the bumps to be electrically connected to the bonding fingers, and at least an end of the opening to be exposed.
