Abstract
A semiconductor package which is structured to allow for the edge mounting thereof in a vertical mount orientation. The semiconductor package comprises a flexible substrate or “flex circuit.” The flexible substrate includes a conductive pattern disposed on a first surface thereof, and a plurality of conductive pads or terminals disposed on a second surface thereof which is disposed in opposed relation to the first surface. Mounted to the first surface of the flexible substrate are one or more electronic components such as semiconductor dies. The semiconductor die(s) is/are electrically connected to the conductive pattern, and thereafter covered or encapsulated by a package body applied to a portion of the first surface of the flexible substrate. That portion of the flexible substrate including the conductive pads or terminals formed on the second surface thereof is thereafter folded and adhered to a portion of the package body through the use of a suitable adhesive.
