METHODS AND DEVICES RELATED TO REDUCED PACKAGING SUBSTRATE DEFORMATION

Abstract:

A packaging substrate can include a first surface and a second opposing surface, the first surface having a mounting region configured to receive electronic components, and electrical contacts formed on the second opposing surface. A saw street region can surround the mounting region and the electrical contacts, a metal layer and a solder mask layer being formed within the saw street region on the second opposing surface, and the solder mask layer being formed over the metal layer. An electronic module can include a packaging substrate including a first surface and a second opposing surface, the first surface including a mounting region. A plurality of electronic components can be mounted on the mounting region. A ground pad can be formed on the second opposing surface of the packaging substrate, the ground pad including a solder mask layer formed thereon, the solder mask layer having a plurality of openings.
