An alternative or supplement to providing a physical barrier is to provide a preform of an encapsulation material which includes a predetermined volume of such material so that only the encapsulation area is filled. For a semiconductor chip assembly which does not yet have an elastomeric layer, a method of simultaneously forming such an elastomeric layer and encapsulating a semiconductor chip assembly is also provided. | |
