Patent ID: 7781873

Claim:
A semiconductor leadframe package comprising an encapsulated body, said encapsulated body including therewithin an integrated circuit chip, a plurality of bonding pads attached to the integrated circuit chip, a set of conductive traces lying on a surface of said integrated circuit chip and connected to respective ones of the bonding pads, said conductive traces fanning outwardly from respective ones of said plurality of bonding pads over said integrated circuit chip, a leadframe overhanging the set of conductive traces and said integrated circuit chip within said encapsulated body and having a plurality of leads extending to a location at the exterior of said body, and electrically conductive bumps connected between the set of conductive traces on the surface of said integrated circuit chip and the leadframe at a location where said leadframe overhangs said conductive traces and said integrated circuit chip within said encapsulated body by which each of said plurality of leads of the leadframe is electrically connected directly to a respective one of the plurality of bonding pads by way of an electrical series connection of a corresponding conductive trace of said set of conductive traces and an electrically conductive bump and without any wire bonding connections wherein said encapsulated body includes a redistribution layer located on a surface of said integrated circuit chip, said redistribution layer having formed thereon said set of conductive traces and an array of trace terminal bump pads communicating with said set of traces, said trace terminal bump pads establishing terminals at the location where said leadframe overhangs said conductive traces and said integrated circuit chip at which said electrically conductive bumps are located so as to be connected between respective ones of said set of conductive traces and said leadframe.
