The package may include a substrate with conductive traces.A method of attaching a lid to a semiconductor package base includes the steps of providing a semiconductor package base having an open cavity, providing a thermoplastic lid that covers the open cavity, placing the lid on the semiconductor package base so that the lid covers the open cavity, applying pressure to hold the lid and body together, and attaching the lid to the base by ultrasonically welding them together. | |
