A semiconductor package and a fabrication method thereof are provided in
which a chip is mounted on a substrate, and a dielectric layer is applied
over the substrate and chip, with bond fingers formed on the substrate
and electric contacts formed on the chip being exposed outside. A metal
layer is formed over the dielectric layer and the exposed bond fingers
and electric contacts, and patterned to form a plurality of conductive
traces that electrically connect the electric contacts of the chip to the
bond fingers of the substrate. The conductive traces replace conventional
wire bonding technology and thus eliminate the occurrence of wire sweep
or short circuits in fabrication processes. Therefore, a low profile chip
with a reduced pitch between adjacent electric contacts can be used
without being limited to feasibility of the wire bonding technology.
