Patent ID: 7713784

Claim:
A method of packaging semiconductor devices comprising: attaching a first side of a wafer to a first adhesive surface; sawing from a second side of said wafer, and in accordance therewith, establishing a notch; adding a layer of metal to the second side of the wafer, the layer of metal forming a metalized surface of the wafer, wherein the adding the layer of metal forms a discernable channel within the notch, and in accordance therewith, provides surface details for alignment; sawing through a plurality of saw streets of the wafer, and in accordance therewith, establishing individual semiconductor devices, each individual semiconductor device having a metalized surface corresponding to a portion of the metalized surface of the wafer; attaching the metalized surface of each of the individual semiconductor devices to a second adhesive surface, and in accordance therewith, making the metalized surface unexposed; molding an exposed area above the second adhesive surface, forming a solid expanse of material; and sawing the solid expanse of material resulting in a plurality of packaged semiconductor devices.
