Patent ID: 7061120

Claim:
A stackable semiconductor package comprising: a substrate having a first surface, an opposite second surface, and central through hole between the first and second surfaces; a plurality of electrically conductive circuit patterns on each of the first and second surfaces of the substrate, wherein the circuit patterns of each of the first and second surfaces include a plurality of lands, the circuit patterns of the second surface also include a plurality of bond fingers, and at least some of the circuit patterns of the first surface are electrically connected through the substrate to some of the circuit patterns of the second surface; a semiconductor chip in the through hole, wherein the semiconductor chip has a first surface flush with the first surface of the substrate, and an opposite second surface including a plurality of conductive pads, the pads being oriented in a same direction as the second surface of the substrate, wherein the first surface of the semiconductor chip is exposed; a plurality of conductive connecting means, wherein each of the conductive connecting means is electrically connected between a respective one of the pads of the second surface of the semiconductor chip and a respective one of the bond fingers of the circuit patterns of the second surface of the substrate; a hardened encapsulant within the through hole and covering the semiconductor chip therein, the bond fingers, the pads, and the conductive connecting means, wherein the lands of the circuit patterns of each of the first and second surfaces of the substrate are outward of a perimeter of the encapsulant; and a plurality of electrically conductive balls each fused to a respective one of the lands of the circuit patterns of the first surface of the substrate.
