A memory card structure comprising a substrate, a plurality of memory
chips, some package material and an ultra-thin plastic shell is provided.
To fabricate the memory card, a substrate having a first surface and a
second surface is provided. The first surface has a plurality of outer
contacts and the second surface has at least a cavity. There is a
plurality of inner contacts around the cavity. Furthermore, the outer
contacts and the inner contacts are electrically connected to each other.
The memory chips are stacked up inside the cavity and electrically
connected to the inner contacts of the substrate. Then, the memory chips
and the inner contacts are encapsulated using the molding compound.
Thereafter, the ultra-thin plastic shell is placed over the second
surface and attached to the substrate. That portion of the ultra-thin
plastic shell covering the memory chips has a thickness of about
0.1.about.0.15 mm.
