Abstract
Abstract A chip package according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an integrated chip having a plurality of chip pads formed thereon, and a passivation film formed in such a manner that the chip pads are exposed. A plurality of metal wirings are connected to the chip pads on the upper surface of the passivation film, and externals balls electrically connected to the metal wirings. A molding resin layer is formed on the upper portion of the semiconductor chip such that the upper surfaces of the external balls protrude therefrom.
