A semiconductor device with reinforced under-support structure and a
method for fabricating the semiconductor device are provided, which can
be used in the packaging of an MPBGA/TFBGA (Multi-Package Ball Grid Array
& Thin Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array) module to help reinforce the TFBGA
under-support structure therein. The proposed chip-packaging method is
characterized by the provision of large-area solder pads at the corners
of a solder-pad array used for TFBGA attaching application, in order to
form solder bumps of a large cross section and volume during reflow
process to help reinforce the TFBGA under-package structure. This feature
can reinforce the TFBGA under-package structure without having to use
flip-chip underfill technology, and without having to use extra large
type solder balls and arrange pads into different pitches as in the prior
art.
