A semiconductor package structure includes a semiconductor die surface having a narrower pitch region and a wider pitch region adjacent to the narrower pitch region, a plurality of first type conductive pillars in the narrower pith region, each of the first type conductive pillars having a copper-copper interface, and a plurality of second type conductive pillars in the wider pitch region, each of the second type conductive pillars having a copper-solder interface. A method for manufacturing the semiconductor package structure described herein is also disclosed.

An integrated circuit and a method for designing an IC wherein the base or host chip is bonded to smaller chiplets via DBI technology. The bonding of chip to chiplet creates an uneven or multi-level surface of the overall chip requiring a releveling for future bonding. The uneven surface is built up with plating of bumps and subsequently releveled with various methods including planarization.

A manufacturing method of integrated fan-out package includes following steps. First and second dies are provided on adhesive layer formed on carrier. Heights of first and second dies are different. First and second dies respectively has first and second conductive posts each having substantially a same height. The dies are pressed against adhesive layer to make active surfaces thereof be in direct contact with adhesive layer and conductive posts thereof be submerged into adhesive layer. Adhesive layer is cured. Encapsulant is formed to encapsulate the dies. Carrier is removed from adhesive layer. Heights of first and second conductive posts are reduced and portions of the adhesive layer is removed. First and second conductive posts are laterally wrapped by and exposed from adhesive layer. Top surfaces of first and second conductive posts are leveled. Redistribution structure is formed over adhesive layer and is electrically connected to first and second conductive posts.

Some embodiments relate to a three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC). The 3D IC includes a first IC die comprising a first semiconductor substrate, and a first interconnect structure over the first semiconductor substrate. The 3D IC also includes a second IC die comprising a second semiconductor substrate, and a second interconnect structure that separates the second semiconductor substrate from the first interconnect structure. A seal ring structure separates the first interconnect structure from the second interconnect structure and perimetrically surrounds a gas reservoir between the first IC die and second IC die. The seal ring structure includes a sidewall gas-vent opening structure configured to allow gas to pass between the gas reservoir and an ambient environment surrounding the 3D IC.

A method for manufacturing chip package includes the steps below. A wafer having an upper surface and a lower surface opposite thereto is provided, in which conductive bumps are disposed on the upper surface. The upper surface of the wafer is diced to form trenches. A first insulation layer exposing the conductive bumps is formed on the upper surface and in the trenches. A surface treatment layer is formed on the conductive bumps, and a top surface of the surface treatment layer is higher than that of the first insulation layer. The wafer is thinned from the lower surface toward the upper surface to expose the first insulation layer in the trenches. A second insulation layer is formed below the lower surface. The first and second insulation layers are diced along a center of each trench to form chip packages.
