Abstract
A surface mount semiconductor device has a semiconductor die encapsulated in a molding compound. Electrical contact elements of an intermediate set are disposed on the molding compound. A set of coated wires electrically connect bonding pads of the semiconductor die and the electrical contact elements of the intermediate set. A layer of insulating material covers the coated wires, the die and the electrical contact elements of the intermediate set. Electrically conductive elements are exposed at an external surface of the layer of insulating material and contact respective electrical contact elements of the intermediate set through the layer of insulating material.
Claims7
A surface mount semiconductor device, comprising:
- a semiconductor die having an active face presenting a die set of electrical contact elements and a further die face opposite said active face;
- a molding compound encapsulating said semiconductor die, wherein said further die face is embedded in said molding compound;
- an intermediate set of intermediate electrical contact elements disposed on said molding compound;
- electrical connections between respective electrical contact elements of said die set and respective electrical contact elements of said intermediate set through a set of coated wires;
- a layer of insulating material encapsulating said coated wires and said electrical contact elements of said die set and of said intermediate set;
- and
- electrically conductive elements of an exposed set, which are exposed at an external surface of said layer of insulating material and which contact respective electrical contact elements of said intermediate set through said layer of insulating material, and
- wherein electrically conductive elements of said exposed set contacting respective electrical contact elements of said intermediate set also contact said set of coated wires making electrical connections with said respective electrical contact elements of said intermediate set.
