Semiconductor package structure and fabrication method thereof

Abstract

A semiconductor package structure and a fabrication method thereof are provided. A semiconductor chip having an active surface and an inactive surface is coupled to a substrate. A plurality of bond pads are formed on the active surface of the semiconductor chip. The substrate can be arranged to expose the bond pads. The semiconductor chip is further attached to a lead frame having a plurality of leads, each of which has an inner portion and an outer portion higher than the inner portion, such that the semiconductor chip can be accommodated in the inner portions of the leads. An encapsulant is formed to cover the semiconductor chip and the substrate, and bottom surfaces of the leads of the lead frame are exposed from the encapsulant, so as to form a thin and compact package structure, which can package various semiconductor chips having different arrangements of bond pads.
