Abstract

Methods and apparatus are provided for use in manufacturing a device packaging comprising the steps of: positioning a metal substrate such as spring steel on a magnetic plate so as to expose a surface of the metal substrate; placing a first tape layer on the exposed surface of a metal substrate so as to expose a nonstick surface of the first tape layer such as PTFE; placing a second tape layer on the exposed surface of the first tape layer so as to expose a surface of the second tape layer; positioning a mold frame on the exposed surface of the second tape layer; positioning a die within the mold frame; depositing epoxy within the mold frame; curing the epoxy so as to create a molded panel; removing the mold frame; grinding the molded panel to a desired thickness; separating the first tape layer from the second tape layer so as to separate the metal substrate from the molded panel; and peeling the second tape layer from the molded panel. The process provides an efficient method for creating a chips first package.
