Patent 7396754 was granted and assigned to National Semiconductor on July, 2008 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A manufacturing technique that involves embedding one or more semiconductor die into a support substrate and forming conductive traces that lead from die contact pads to redistributed contact pads on the support substrate. Active surfaces of the dice and a working surface of the support substrate are substantially coplanar and the conductive traces are formed on the coplanar surfaces. The redistributed contact pads are sufficiently spaced apart from each other so that conductive balls can be formed thereon. Individual semiconductor device packages are singulated from the support substrate.
