A method of making a
semiconductor chip assembly includes providing first and second posts, first and second adhesives, first and second conductive
layers and a
dielectric base, wherein the first post extends from the
dielectric base in a first vertical direction into a first opening in the first
adhesive and is aligned with a first aperture in the first conductive layer, the second post extends from the
dielectric base in a second vertical direction into a second opening in the second
adhesive and is aligned with a second aperture in the second conductive layer and the dielectric base is sandwiched between and extends laterally from the posts, then flowing the first
adhesive in the first vertical direction and the second adhesive in the second vertical direction, solidifying the adhesives, then providing a conductive trace that includes a pad, a terminal and selected portions of the conductive
layers, wherein the pad extends beyond the dielectric base in the first vertical direction and the terminal extends beyond the dielectric base in the second vertical direction, providing a
heat spreader that includes the posts and the dielectric base, then mounting a
semiconductor device on the first post, electrically connecting the
semiconductor device to the conductive trace and thermally connecting the
semiconductor device to the
heat spreader.
