Various semiconductor chip packages and methods of making the same are provided. In one aspect, a method of manufacturing is provided that includes providing a substrate that has a first side and a first plurality of passive devices on the first side. A stiffener frame is coupled on the first side. The stiffener frame has first and second spaced apart opposing walls that define a channel in which the first plurality of passive devices is positioned, and a central opening that does not cover a central portion of the first side of the substrate.
