A ground pad structure for preventing solder extrusion and a semiconductor
package having the ground pad structure are disclosed, wherein the ground
pad structure has the ground pads located along the circumference of its
ground plane be formed in a non-solder mask defined manner. Accordingly,
a good grounding quality is maintained, and the occurrence of the
electrical bridging among the adjacent conductive traces can be avoided
as the extrusion of the molten solder bumps from the ground pads located
along the ground pad structure's circumference toward their adjacent
conductive traces is effectively prevented.
