Patent ID: 7638861

Claim:
A packaged semiconductor device, comprising: a leadframe having a die support and a plurality of electrically conductive leads; wherein an upper surface of the die support is in the same plane as an upper surface of the plurality of leads; a non-conductive tape situated on the die support of the leadframe and having an edge overlapping a portion of each of the leads and a plurality of termini disposed in a pattern corresponding to a pattern of contacts on a surface of a die; wherein a lower surface of the non-conductive tape is in contact with the upper surface of the die support and the upper surface of at least one of the plurality of leads; a die positioned on the non-conductive tape, the die having a plurality of stud bumps, said bumps arranged in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of termini on the non-conductive tape; a non-conducting polymer encapsulating the die, and a plurality of electrical paths between the plurality of termini and the plurality of leads, wherein the electrical paths comprise electrically conductive ink.
