ABSTRACT:
A method for packaging a semiconductor device includes connecting a plurality of wire leads to a corresponding plurality of electrical connection pads on the semiconductor device, covering at least a portion of the semiconductor device and at least a portion of each of the wire leads with an encapsulating material, and removing a portion of the encapsulating material and a portion of each of the wire leads to form a packaged semiconductor device wherein each of the wire leads has an exposed portion only at an end. The invention also includes a packaged semiconductor device having an integrated circuit device with a plurality of electrical connection pads, a plurality of wire leads coupled to the plurality of electrical connection pads, and a covering of encapsulating material covering at least a portion of the integrated circuit device and covering each of the wire leads, wherein each of the wire leads has an exposed end. The present invention contemplates wire bonding and encapsulation of individual die as well as multiple die on a single wafer.
