Patent ID: 8105881

Claim:
A method of fabricating a chip package structure, comprising: providing a lead frame having an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the lead frame comprises a die pad, a plurality of leads surrounding the die pad, and at least a structure enhancement element, wherein the structure enhancement element connects the die pad to one lead of the plurality of leads; providing a chip having an active surface, a back surface, and a plurality of chip bonding pads disposed on the active surface; adhering the back surface of the chip to the die pad; forming a plurality of bonding wires so as to electrically connect the chip bonding pads and the plurality of leads, respectively; forming an upper encapsulant encapsulating the upper surface of the lead frame, the chip, and the bonding wires; forming an etching mask having only an opening on the lower surface of the lead frame so as to expose the structure enhancement element from the opening; etching the structure enhancement element exposed from the opening until the die pad and the one lead of the plurality of leads connected by the structure enhancement element are electrically insulated; and forming a lower encapsulant filled in the opening, wherein the lower encapsulant is coplanar with the etching mask.
