Semiconductor chip packages having molded plastic substrates and recessed I/O terminals are disclosed, along with methods of making such packages. In an exemplary embodiment, the molded plastic substrate includes a metal interconnect pattern and a plurality of indentations in a surface thereof. Each indentation may include at least one projection. The indentation and any projections therein are covered by a metal lining. A metal contact, which serves as an I/O terminal, is placed in each of the indentations and is fused to the metal lining thereof. A chip is mounted on the substrate and is electrically connected to the metal contacts by the interconnect pattern. The package further includes a lid or hardened encapsulant over the chip.
