Patent 7927927 was granted and assigned to Freescale Semiconductor on April, 2011 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A semiconductor package substrate (11) has an array of package sites (13, 14, 16, and 21) that are substantially identical. The entire array of package sites (13, 14, 16, and 21) is covered by an encapsulant (19). The individual package sites (13, 14, 16, and 21) are singulated by sawing through the encapsulant (19) and the underlying semiconductor package substrate (11).
