Patent ID: 7893548

Claim:
A packaged system for integrated circuits, semiconductor devices and passive components comprising: a molding compound encasing: an interconnect substrate with an upper surface that has a plurality of upper contacts arranged in a ring about a central region; a lower surface that has a plurality of lower contacts dispersed within a region bound by the ring; a plurality of interconnects, each of the interconnects connecting one of the upper contacts to one of the lower contacts, the interconnects being embedded in an insulator for electrically isolating the interconnects from one another; at least one integrated circuit mounted on the central region of the upper surface and electrically connected to the plurality of upper contacts; a molded trace frame with a bottom surface and a top surface, and having a plurality of traces encased in the molding compound such that a surface of one of the traces is exposed outside of the molding compound and the top surface includes a plurality of trace contacts that are in electrical communication with the plurality of lower contacts.
