Abstract:
In a described example, an apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate and at least two pillar bumps formed on an active surface of the semiconductor substrate, the at least two pillar bumps extending away from the active surface and having ends spaced from the semiconductor substrate with solder material at the ends of the at least two pillar bumps. At least one spacer is formed on the active surface of the semiconductor substrate, the at least one spacer extending a predetermined distance from the active surface of the semiconductor substrate. A package substrate has a die mount area on a first surface including portions receiving the ends of the at least two pillar bumps and receiving an end of the at least one spacer. Mold compound covers the semiconductor substrate, the at least two pillars, the at least one spacer, and at least a portion of the semiconductor substrate.

Claim (Index 18):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a lead frame having a die mount area on a first surface and having lock structures extending from the first surface into the lead frame; and a semiconductor substrate having an active surface, further comprising: at least two pillars on bond pads on the active surface of the semiconductor substrate, the at least two pillars extending away from the active surface and having solder material disposed on ends of the at least two pillars to form at least two pillar bumps; and at least one spacer of a single metal extending from the active surface of the semiconductor substrate a predetermined distance from the active surface of the semiconductor substrate and having a spacer end; wherein the semiconductor substrate, the at least two pillar bumps and the at least one spacer are flip chip mounted to the die mount area of the lead frame, the solder material forming solder joints between the first surface of the lead frame and the at least two pillar bumps, and the spacer end and a portion of the at least one spacer is positioned in a selected one of the lock structures extending into the lead frame.
