Patent ID: 6962829

Claim:
A method of forming a plurality of integrated circuit chip packages, said method comprising: providing a substrate having a plurality of sections, each of said sections having first metallizations formed on a first surface of said substrate; coupling an integrated circuit chip to a corresponding one of each of said sections of said substrate; electrically connecting each said integrated circuit chip to said first metallizations on said corresponding one of said sections; encapsulating said integrated circuit chips, said first metallizations and said first surface of said substrate with a layer of an encapsulant, wherein said layer of the encapsulant has an outer surface overlying the integrated circuit chips; placing the outer surface of the layer of the encapsulant on a mounting surface, and immobilizing the encapsulated substrate on said mounting surface; cutting said encapsulated substrate while on said mounting surface along a periphery of each of said sections to form said plurality of integrated circuit chip packages.
