Patent ID: 6921981

Claim:
A ball grid array (BGA) package comprising: a substrate having opposing top and bottom surfaces, the top surface of the substrate being provided with a ground ring, a power ring, and a plurality of conductive traces arranged at the periphery of the ground ring and the power ring, the bottom surface of the substrate being provided with a plurality of solder pads electrically connected to the ground ring, the power ring, and the conductive traces, respectively; a semiconductor chip disposed on the top surface of the substrate, the chip having a plurality of bonding pads located about the periphery thereof, and the bonding pads of the chip being positioned in three rows, including an inner row, a middle row, and an outer row, along the sides of the chip, the middle row is interposed between the outer row and inner row while the outer row being closest to the sides of the chip, wherein all of the power supply pads and ground pads of the chip are adjacent to one another and disposed only in the outer row of the bonding pads; a first set of bonding wires respectively electrically connecting the outer row of the bonding pads to the ground ring, the power ring and the corresponding conductive traces on the substrate respectively, wherein each bonding wire of the first set has a loop height of substantially the same value; a second set of bonding wires electrically connecting the middle row of the bonding pads to the corresponding conductive traces on the substrate respectively, wherein each bonding wire of the second set has a loop height of substantially the same value; a third set of bonding wires electrically connecting the inner row of the bonding pads to the corresponding conductive traces on the substrate respectively, wherein each bonding wire of the third set has a loop height of substantially the same value; a package body encapsulating the semiconductor chip, the bonding wires and the top surface of the substrate; and a plurality of solder bumps disposed on the solder pads which are provided on the bottom surface of the substrate.
