Abstract

A chip-scale packaging method, with bottom and side of a semiconductor chip encapsulated, includes the following steps: attaching backside of a thinned semiconductor wafer to a dicing tape; separating individual chips by cutting from front side of the wafer at scribe line but not cut through the dicing tape; flipping and attaching the wafer onto a top surface of a double-sided tape, then removing the dicing tape; attaching bottom surface of the double-sided tape on a supporting plate; filling the space between adjacent chips and covering the whole wafer backside with a molding material; flipping the whole structure and remove the supporting plate; placing solder balls at corresponding positions on electrodes of each chip and performing backflow treatment; finally separating individual chip packages by cutting through molding material at the space between adjacent chip packages with molding material encapsulating the bottom and side of each individual semiconductor chip.
