[0069] FIG. 11a, FIG. 11b, FIG. 11c and FIG. 11d illustrate various stages of a method for manufacturing another semiconductor device package in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0070] Referring to FIG. 11a, a semiconductor device package prepared by the method illustrated in FIG. 9a, FIG. 9b and FIG. 9c is provided. The top surface 144a of the straight metal pin 144 is exposed from the top surface 121a of a first dielectric layer 121.

[0071] In the stage illustrated in FIG. 11b, an extension portion 145 of the straight metal pin 144 and a second dielectric layer 122 may be formed. The extension portion 145 and the straight metal pin 144 constitute the electrical connection member 14. In view of the size and/or arrangement of the semiconductor component 11 and the sensing component 13, the extension portion 145 can be designed to provide a fan-out or fan-in connection of the semiconductor component 11. In some embodiments, the extension portion 145 may include, for example, a horizontal segment and a vertical segment, the horizontal segment is laid on the top surface 121a of the first dielectric layer 121 and connects to the exposed surface 144a of the straight metal pin 144, and the vertical segment has a bottom connecting to the horizontal segment. In some embodiments, the extension portion 145 and the second dielectric layer 122 may be formed, for example, by a process for forming a patterned conductive layer and under bump metallurgy (UBM). The second dielectric layer 122 may be ground to reduce its thickness and exposed a surface 14a of the electrical connection member 14 from a surface 122a of the second dielectric layer 122.

[0072] The carrier 30 and the release layer 31 are removed as illustrated in FIG. 11c.

[0073] Referring to FIG. 11d, a sensing component 13 is disposed on the surface 122a of the second dielectric layer 122, a wire 16 is disposed and electrically connects to the sensing component 13 and the electrical connection member 14, a lid 20 (e.g., a housing) is disposed on the surface 122a of the second dielectric layer 122 in accordance with the method as illustrated in FIG. 8g, FIG. 8h and FIG. 8i.

[0074] Spatial descriptions, such as above, below, up, left, right, down, top, bottom, vertical, horizontal, side, higher, lower, upper, over, under, and so forth, are indicated with respect to the orientation shown in the figures unless otherwise specified. It should be understood that the spatial descriptions used herein are for purposes of illustration only and that practical implementations of the structures described herein can be spatially arranged in any orientation or manner, provided that the merits of embodiments of this disclosure are not deviated from by such an arrangement.

[0075] As used herein, the term vertical is used to refer to these upward and downward directions, whereas the term horizontal refers to directions transverse to the vertical directions.

[0076] As used herein, the terms approximately, substantially, substantial and about are used to describe and account for small variations. When used in conjunction with an event or circumstance, the terms can refer to instances in which the event or circumstance occurs precisely as well as instances in which the event or circumstance occurs to a close approximation. For example, when used in conjunction with a numerical value, the terms can refer to a range of variation less than or equal to 10% of that numerical value, such as less than or equal to 5%, less than or equal to 4%, less than or equal to 3%, less than or equal to 2%, less than or equal to 1%, less than or equal to 0.5%, less than or equal to 0.1%, or less than or equal to 0.05%. For example, a first numerical value can be deemed to be substantially the same or equal to a second numerical value if the first numerical value is within a range of variation of less than or equal to 10% of the second numerical value, such as less than or equal to 5%, less than or equal to 4%, less than or equal to 3%, less than or equal to 2%, less than or equal to 1%, less than or equal to 0.5%, less than or equal to 0.1%, or less than or equal to 0.05%. For example, substantially perpendicular can refer to a range of angular variation relative to 90 that is less than or equal to 10, such as less than or equal to 5, less than or equal to 4, less than or equal to 3, less than or equal to 2, less than or equal to 1, less than or equal to 0.5, less than or equal to 0.1, or less than or equal to 0.05.

[0077] Two surfaces can be deemed to be coplanar or substantially coplanar if a displacement between the two surfaces is no greater than 5 m, no greater than 2 m, no greater than 1 m, or no greater than 0.5 m. A surface can be deemed to be substantially flat if a displacement between the highest point and the lowest point of the surface is no greater than 5 m, no greater than 2 m, no greater than 1 m, or no greater than 0.5 m.

[0078] As used herein, the singular terms a, an, and the may include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0079] As used herein, the terms conductive, electrically conductive and electrical conductivity refer to an ability to transport an electric current. Electrically conductive materials typically indicate those materials that exhibit little or no opposition to the flow of an electric current. One measure of electrical conductivity is Siemens per meter (S/m). Typically, an electrically conductive material is one having a conductivity greater than approximately 10.sup.4 S/m, such as at least 10.sup.5 S/m or at least 10.sup.6 S/m. The electrical conductivity of a material can sometimes vary with temperature. Unless otherwise specified, the electrical conductivity of a material is measured at room temperature.

[0080] Additionally, amounts, ratios, and other numerical values are sometimes presented herein in a range format. It is to be understood that such range format is used for convenience and brevity and should be understood flexibly to include numerical values explicitly specified as limits of a range, but also to include all individual numerical values or sub-ranges encompassed within that range as if each numerical value and sub-range is explicitly specified.

[0081] While the present disclosure has been described and illustrated with reference to specific embodiments thereof, these descriptions and illustrations are not limiting. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims. The illustrations may not be necessarily drawn to scale. There may be distinctions between the artistic renditions in the present disclosure and the actual apparatus due to manufacturing processes and tolerances. There may be other embodiments of the present disclosure which are not specifically illustrated. The specification and drawings are to be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive. Modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation, material, composition of matter, method, or process to the objective, spirit, and scope of the present disclosure. All such modifications are intended to be within the scope of the claims appended hereto. While the methods disclosed herein have been described with reference to particular operations performed in a particular order, it will be understood that these operations may be combined, sub-divided, or re-ordered to form an equivalent method without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure. Accordingly, unless specifically indicated herein, the order and grouping of the operations are not limitations of the present disclosure.
