Flexible carrier for high volume electronic package fabrication

An assembly for producing partially packaged semiconductor devices is provided. In one embodiment, the assembly includes a magnetic plate; a flexible substrate disposed adjacent the magnetic plate and having two surfaces; a nonstick coating disposed on one surface of the flexible substrate thereby exposing a nonstick surface; and a tape layer having two surfaces. The tape layer is adhesively attached to the nonstick surface to expose a surface of the tape layer. A frame is disposed on the exposed surface of the tape layer, and a plurality of integrated circuit (IC) die is positioned within the frame and supported by the tape layer. A panel is formed within the frame that at least partially surrounds the plurality of IC die and that contacts the tape layer.
