Film ball grid array (BGA) semiconductor package

摘要

A film BGA package generally comprises a semiconductor chip disposed on a flexible film substrate. The flexible film substrate includes a plurality of solder pads formed on the central area thereof and a plurality of chip connection pads formed on the peripheral area thereof. The semiconductor chip is securely attached onto the upper surface of the flexible film substrate through a nonconductive adhesive and electrically connected to the chip connection pads. The chip connection pads are electrically connected to the corresponding solder pads. The flexible film substrate has a plurality of through-holes formed corresponding to the solder pads such that each solder pad has at least a portion exposed within the corresponding through-hole for mounting a solder ball. The present invention is characterized in that the flexible film substrate is provided with a dam and a stiffener wherein the dam is located between the chip and the chip connection pads thereby preventing the nonconductive adhesive from bleeding to contaminate the chip connection pads, and the stiffener is used to increase rigidity of the flexible film substrate. A package body is formed over the semiconductor chip and the upper surface of the flexible film substrate.
