Patent ID: 7785928

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit (IC) device package comprising: providing an integrated circuit device having connection terminals; providing a substrate having a first side and a second side; forming a plurality of connection pads on the first side of the substrate, the plurality of connection pads corresponding to the connection terminals of the integrated circuit device; forming traces on the first side of the substrate for electrically connecting the connection terminals of the integrated circuit device to external circuitry; attaching the connection terminals of the integrated circuit device to the corresponding connection pads on the first side of the substrate; encapsulating the first side of the substrate to embed the integrated circuit device inside the encapsulant together with the traces; removing the substrate from the second side, opposite the first side, of the substrate to expose the traces; and providing an encapsulation tool with a through hole on at least one side of the IC device encapsulant to form the integrated circuit device package.
