ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor package substrate (11) has an array of package sites (13, 14, 16, and21) that are substantially identical. The entire array of package sites (13, 14, 16, and21) is covered by an encapsulant (19). The individual package sites (13, 14, 16, and21) are singulated by sawing through the encapsulant (19) and the underlying semiconductor package substrate (11).
