1. A method for forming a partially overmolded integrated circuit package, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a substrate having conductive circuit runners;
(b) attaching a semiconductor die having contact pads to the substrate;
(c) applying conductive bumps to the contact pads of the semiconductor die;
(d) transfer molding a resin over the semiconductor die and a first lower portion of each conductive bump, so as to leave a second upper portion of each conductive bump exposed and elevated above the uppermost surface of the transfer molded resin;
(e) electrically interconnecting the second upper portion of each conductive bump to the conductive circuit runners.

Abstract
A partially overmolded integrated circuit package (10) comprises a substrate (14) having circuit traces (11) and a semiconductor die receiving area (15) for attachment of a semiconductor die to the semiconductor die receiving area. Conductive bumps (18) are then applied to a plurality of contact pads on the semiconductor die. Then overmolding compound (16) is applied over the semiconductor die and a portion of the conductive bumps, leaving a portion of the conductive bumps partially exposed (19). Finally, interconnections (13) between the exposed portion of the conductive bumps and the circuit traces of the substrate are formed.
