The present invention relates to an electronic module. In particular, to an electronic module which includes one or more components embedded in an installation base. The electronic module can be a module like a circuit board, which includes several components, which are connected to each other electrically, through conducting structures manufactured in the module. The components can be passive components, microcircuits, semiconductor components, or other similar components. Components that are typically connected to a circuit board form one group of components. Another important group of components are components that are typically packaged for connection to a circuit board. The electronic modules to which the invention relates can, of course, also include other types of components.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor package includes depositing a first dielectric layer over a carrier substrate. A first metallization pattern is formed over the first dielectric layer. The first metallization pattern has a first opening exposing the first dielectric layer. A second dielectric layer is deposited over the first metallization pattern, forming a dielectric slot through the first metallization pattern by filling the first opening. A second metallization pattern and a third dielectric layer are formed over the second dielectric layer. A through via is formed over the third dielectric layer, so that the dielectric slot is laterally under the through via.

An electronic package is provided, in which an electronic element is disposed on an upper side of a circuit structure, a package layer covers the electronic element, and an action structure is embedded in the package layer, so that the action structure is exposed from a surface of the package layer, and then a bonding element is disposed on a lower side of the circuit structure and corresponding to the position of the action structure, so as to form a thermal conduction between the bonding element and the action structure. Therefore, a laser can transfer heat energy to the bonding element via the action structure, so that a solder material on the bonding element can be reflowed.

A stackable via package includes a substrate having an upper surface and a trace on the upper surface, the trace including a terminal. A solder ball is on the terminal. The solder ball has a solder ball diameter A and a solder ball height D. A via aperture is formed in a package body enclosing the solder ball to expose the solder ball. The via aperture includes a via bottom having a via bottom diameter B and a via bottom height C from the upper surface of the substrate, where A<B and 0=<C<1/2×D. The shape of the via aperture prevents solder deformation of the solder column formed from the solder ball as well as prevents solder bridging between adjacent solder columns.

Some embodiments relate to a package. The package includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and an interposer frame between the first and second substrates. The first substrate has a first connection pad disposed on a first face thereof, and the second substrate has a second connection pad disposed on a second face thereof. The interposer frame is arranged between the first and second faces and generally separates the first substrate from the second substrate. The interposer frame includes a plurality of through substrate holes (TSHs) which pass entirely through the interposer frame. A TSH is aligned with the first and second connection pads, and solder extends through the TSH to electrically connect the first connection pad to the second connection pad.

A semiconductor device and method that comprise a first dielectric layer over a encapsulant that encapsulates a via and a semiconductor die is provided. A redistribution layer is over the first dielectric layer, and a second dielectric layer is over the redistribution layer, and the second dielectric layer comprises a low-temperature polyimide material.

A package structure and the manufacturing method thereof are provided. The package structure includes a semiconductor die, conductive through vias, an insulating encapsulant, and a redistribution structure. The conductive through vias are electrically coupled to the semiconductor die. The insulating encapsulant laterally encapsulates the semiconductor die and the conductive through vias, wherein the insulating encapsulant has a recess ring surrounding the semiconductor die, the conductive through vias are located under the recess ring, and a vertical projection of each of the conductive through vias overlaps with a vertical projection of the recess ring. The redistribution structure is electrically connected to the semiconductor die and the conductive through vias.

In an embodiment, an apparatus includes an energy source, a support platform for holding a wafer, an optical path extending from the energy source to the support platform, and a photomask aligned such that a patterned major surface of the photomask is parallel to the force of gravity, where the optical path passes through the photomask, where the patterned major surface of the photomask is perpendicular to a topmost surface of the support platform.
