A stackable semiconductor package includes a substrate with a first side surface
that includes circuit patterns. Each circuit pattern includes a pad. A semiconductor
die is electrically coupled to the circuit patterns. An encapsulant covers the
semiconductor die and the first side surface of the substrate inward of the pads.
A layer of a solder is fused to each of the pads. A lateral distance between immediately
adjacent pads is selected to be greater than a lateral distance between sidewalls
of the encapsulant and immediately adjacent pads, and a height of the solder layers
relative to the first side surface is selected to be less than a height of the
sidewalls of the encapsulant, so that misalignment of a semiconductor package stacked
on the solder layers/pads is self-correcting when juxtaposed ones of the solder
layers and respective solder balls of the second semiconductor package are reflowed
and fused together.
