Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor device with thick bottom metal comprises a semiconductor chip covered with a top plastic package layer at its front surface and a back metal layer at its back surface, the top plastic package layer surrounds sidewalls of the metal bumps with a top surface of the metal bumps exposing from the top plastic package layer, a die paddle for the semiconductor chip to mount thereon and a plastic package body.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A semiconductor device with thick bottom metal comprising: a semiconductor chip covered with a top plastic package layer at its front surface and a back metal layer at its back surface, wherein a plurality of metal bumps are formed at the front surface of the semiconductor chip, and the top plastic package layer surrounds sidewalls of the metal bumps with a top surface of the metal bumps exposing from the top plastic package layer; a die paddle, wherein the semiconductor chip is mounted on the die paddle with the back metal layer being directly attached on a front surface of the die paddle and a side surface of the die paddle is exposed; a bottom plastic package layer covering a back surface of the die paddle; and a first plastic package body portion covering the sidewalls of the semiconductor chip, the top plastic package layer and the back metal layer, wherein the first plastic package body is separated from the bottom plastic package layer by the die paddle. 2. The semiconductor device with thick bottom metal of claim 1 further comprises a second plastic package body portion covering sidewalls of the die paddle, wherein the first plastic package body portion, the second plastic package body portion and the bottom plastic package layer form a continuance structure. 3. A semiconductor device with thick bottom metal comprising: a semiconductor chip covered with a top plastic package layer at its front surface and a back metal layer at its back surface, wherein a plurality of metal bumps are formed at the front surface of the semiconductor chip, and the top plastic package layer surrounds sidewalls of the metal bumps with a top surface of the metal bumps exposed from the top plastic package layer; a die paddle, wherein the semiconductor chip is mounted on the die paddle with the back metal layer being directly attached on a front surface of the die paddle, wherein a sidewall of a top portion of the die paddle is exposed; a ring plastic package body surrounding a center portion of a bottom surface of the die paddle formed by filling a plastic package material into a recess ring formed at an edge of the back surface of the die paddle; and a first plastic package body portion covering the sidewalls of the semiconductor chip, the top plastic package layer and the back metal layer, wherein the first package body is separated from the ring plastic package body by the top portion of the die paddle. 4. The semiconductor device with thick bottom metal of claim 3 further comprises a second plastic package body portion covering at least a sidewalls of a top portion of the die paddle, wherein the first plastic package body portion, the second plastic package body portion and the ring plastic package body form a continuance structure.
