[0022] In the present embodiment, the first surface F11a and the second surface F11b can be the upper surface and the lower surface of the insulation part 111 respectively, and the side surface F11c can take the shape of a ring and extend along the edges of both the first surface F11a and the second surface F11b. In addition, the side surface F11c can be the part of the outer edge of the redistribution layer 110. In the embodiment as shown in
[0023] The insulation part 111 can have a multilayer structure. For example, the insulation part 111 can include a first outer insulation layer D11, a second outer insulation layer D12 and a plurality of inner insulation layers D13. The inner insulation layers D13 are located between the first outer insulation layer D11 and the second outer insulation layer D12, while the first outer insulation layer D11, the second outer insulation layer D12 and the inner insulation layers D13 are stacked. The first outer insulation layer D11 has the first surface F11a, whereas the second outer insulation layer D12 has the second surface F11b.
[0024] The materials of the first outer insulation layer D11, the second outer insulation layer D12, and the inner insulation layers D13 can be the same. In the present embodiment, all of the first outer insulation layer D11, the second outer insulation layer D12, and the inner insulation layers D13 can be made of photo imageable dielectric (PID) material or other insulation material, such as Ajinomoto build-up film (ABF) resin or polypropylene (PP). In addition, in other embodiment, the materials of at least two of the first outer insulation layer D11, the second outer insulation layer D12, and the inner insulation layer D13 can be different.
[0025] The redistribution layer 110 can further include a first outer wiring layer W11, a second outer wiring layer W12 and a plurality of inner wiring layers W13, where the inner wiring layers W13 are located between the first outer wiring layer W11 and the second outer wiring layer W12. Each of the first outer wiring layer W11 and the second outer wiring layer W12 has a plurality of pads. Taking
[0026] At least one of the first outer wiring layer W11 and the second outer wiring layer W12 can further include a trace. For example, in the embodiment as shown in
[0027] Each of the inner wiring layers W13 is located between adjacent two of the first outer insulation layer D11, the second outer insulation layer D12 and the inner insulation layers D13. In
[0028] The first outer wiring layers W11 are located at the first outer insulation layer D11, while the second outer wiring layers W12 are located at the second outer insulation layer D12. It is necessary to note that the first outer wiring layer W11 located at the first outer insulation layer D11 means that the first outer wiring layer W11 in
[0029] In the embodiment as shown in
[0030] In addition, the redistribution layer 110 can further include a plurality of conductive connection structures P11a and P11b, where the conductive connection structures P11a and P11b are located in the insulation part 111. Taking
[0031] The conductive connection structures P11a and P11b are electrically connected to the first outer wiring layer W11, the second outer wiring layer W12 and the inner wiring layers W13. Specifically, each of the conductive connection structures P11a is connected to a first pad W11p of the first outer wiring layer W11 and the inner wiring layer W13 that is adjacent to the first outer wiring layer W11, whereas each of the conductive connection structures P11b is connected to a second pad W12p of the second outer wiring layer W12 or two adjacent inner wiring layers W13. Accordingly, the electric current can flow among the first outer wiring layer W11, the second outer wiring layer W12 and the inner wiring layers W13 via the conductive connection structures P11a and P11b.
[0032] In the embodiment as shown in
[0033] It is worth mentioning that in the present embodiment, the redistribution layer 110 can include at least three wiring layers (i.e., the first outer wiring layer W11, the second outer wiring layer W12 and the inner wiring layers W13) and at least three insulation layers (i.e., the first outer insulation layer D11, the second outer insulation layer D12 and the inner insulation layers D13). However, in other embodiment, the redistribution layer 110 can include only two wiring layers (for example, the first outer wiring layer W11 and the second outer wiring layer W12) and only one insulation layer between the two wiring layers.
[0034] Hence, in one single redistribution layer 110, the quantity of the wiring layers (including the first outer wiring layer W11, the second outer wiring layer W12 and the inner wiring layers W13, for example) can be two, and the quantity of the insulation layers (including the first outer wiring layer W11, the second outer wiring layer W12 and the inner wiring layers W13, for example) can be changed to only one, so the quantities of the wiring layers and the insulation layers in the redistribution layer 110 are not limited as shown in
[0035] The chip package 100 further includes a chip 120, in which the chip 120 is disposed on the first surface F11a of the first outer insulation layer D11, so the first outer insulation layer D11 is located between the chip 120 and the second outer insulation layer D12. The chip 120 may be an unpackaged die or a packaged chip. The chip 120 can be mounted on the first surface F11a and electrically connected to the first pads W11p. In addition, the chip package 100 can be a fan-out packaged structure, in which the size of the chip 120 is smaller than the size of the redistribution layer 110, and the redistribution layer 110 can protrude from the side 121 of the chip 120, as shown in
[0036] In the embodiment shown in
[0037] The chip package 100 further includes an encapsulation member 130, in which the encapsulation member 130 wraps the chip 120 and the redistribution layer 110. The encapsulation member 130 can cover the chip 120 and all of the first surface F11a, the second surface F11b and the side surface F11c of the redistribution layer 110, and the encapsulation member 130 is not flush with the first surface F11a and the side surface F11c. In other words, the length 130L and the width 130W of the encapsulation member 130 are larger than the length 110L and the width 110W of the redistribution layer 110 respectively, so that both the chip 120 and the redistribution layer 110 can be located within the encapsulation member 130.
[0038] The encapsulation member 130 can expose the second pads W12p and not cover the first pads W11p completely, so that the solder bumps S11 can be connected to the first pads W11p. In the present embodiment, the chip package 100 can further include a plurality of solder bumps S12. Since the encapsulation member 130 can expose the second pads W12p, the out surface W12s of the second pads W12p can be exposed, so that the solder bumps S12 can be connected to the second pads W12p respectively. Accordingly, the second pads W12p can be electrically connected to the solder bumps S12, so that the chip package 100 can be electrically connected to a wiring substrate, such as a printed wiring board or an electronic carrier, via the solder bumps S12.
[0039] The encapsulation member 130 can include a first molding compound 131 and a second molding compound 132, in which the first molding compound 131 is connected to the second molding compound 132, and the materials of both the first molding compound 131 and the second molding compound 132 may be the same or different. The first molding compound 131 covers the chip 120 and the redistribution layer 110, where the first molding compound 131 covers the first surface F11a and the side surface F11c of the redistribution layer 110, but does not cover the second surface F11b. The second molding compound 132 covers the second surface F11b, so the second molding compound 132 also covers the traces 129. The second molding compound 132 exposes the second pads W12p, so that the solder bumps S12 can be connected to the second pads W12p.
[0040] Moreover, after the chip 120 is mounted on the first surface F11a, a gap G1 can be formed between the chip 120 and the redistribution layer 110, and the first molding compound 131 can fill the gap G1. In other words, a part of the encapsulation member 130 can fill the gap G1 between the chip 120 and the redistribution layer 110, and the encapsulation member 130 can cover the upper surface, the lower surface and the side 121 of the chip 120, thereby wrapping the whole chip 120, as shown in
[0041] Since the encapsulation member 130 wraps the chip 120 and the redistribution layer 110 and covers both the first surface F11a and the side surface F11c of the redistribution layer 110, the encapsulation member 130 can enhance the structure of the chip package 100 and reduce the chance of breaking the redistribution layer 110, so as to improve the reliability of the chip package 100. Hence, the chip package 100 can have enough strength of structure to withstand the TCT.
[0042]
[0043] In a subsequent process, the initial redistribution layer 110i can be diced into a plurality of redistribution layers 110, so the initial redistribution layer 110i can include the plurality of distribution layers 110. In other words, both the initial redistribution layer 110i and the redistribution layer 110 include the same layers and elements, i.e., the first outer insulation layer D11, the second outer insulation layer D12, the inner insulation layers D13, the first outer wiring layer W11, the second outer wiring layer W12, the inner wiring layers W13, and the conductive connection structures P11a and P11b.

[0053] Specifically, at least one of the first outer insulation layer D41 and the second outer insulation layer D42 includes an insulation material 41m and a plurality of fillers 41p, where the fillers 41p are distributed in the insulation material 41m. The insulation material 41m may be a polymer material, such as epoxy, polyimide (PI), polybenzoxazole (PBO), benzocyclobutene (BCB) or other material, or any combination of these materials and other material. The fillers 41p can be a plurality of filler particles which can be made of silicon dioxide. By the fillers 41p, at least one of the first outer insulation layer D41 and the second outer insulation layer D42 also can enhance the structure of the chip package 400a to reduce the chance of breaking the redistribution layer 410a, thereby improving the reliability.
[0054] It is worth mentioning that in the embodiment as shown in
[0055]
[0056] It is necessary to note that in the embodiment as shown in
[0057]
[0058] The chip package 500 is similar to the chip package 400b, and the only difference between the chip packages 500 and the 400b is that the fillers 51f can be a plurality of filler fibers, where the filler fibers are glass fibers, for example. By the fillers 51f, the whole insulation part 511 also can enhance the structure of the chip package 500 and reduce the chance of breaking the redistribution layer 510, thereby improving the reliability.
[0059] It is worth mentioning that in the embodiment as shown in
[0060] In other words, in
[0061] Moreover, some fillers 51f shown in
[0062] Consequently, since each of the encapsulation members disclosed in the above embodiments wraps the chip and the redistribution layer and covers both the first surface and the side surface of the redistribution layer, the encapsulation member can enhance the structure of the chip package to improve the reliability of the chip package, so that the chip package can have enough strength of structure to withstand the TCT.
