Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging structure and a manufacturing method thereof, and in particular to a packaging structure with a conductive member surrounding a plurality of chips and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, electronic devices have become increasingly important to human life. To accelerate the integration of various functions and reduce the size of packaging structures, multiple independently operating chips can be combined into a single package. Therefore, minimizing signal interference between these chips during operation has become a pressing issue. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention is directed to a packaging structure and a manufacturing method thereof, wherein the manufacturing process is relatively simple and the yield and quality can be improved.
[0004] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a package structure includes a conductive member, multiple chips, a dielectric, a circuit layer, and a patterned insulating layer. The multiple chips are disposed on the conductive member. A portion of the conductive member surrounds the multiple chips. The dielectric covers the multiple chips. The circuit layer is located on the dielectric. The circuit layer electrically connects the multiple chips. The patterned insulating layer covers the circuit layer. Part of the patterned insulating layer is located between adjacent chips.
[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a packaging structure includes the following steps: configuring multiple chips on a substrate; forming a dielectric material on the substrate to cover the multiple chips; forming a dielectric body covering the multiple chips by at least removing a portion of the dielectric material; forming a patterned conductive layer on the dielectric body, with a portion of the patterned conductive layer electrically connecting the multiple chips; forming a patterned insulating layer to cover the patterned conductive layer, with a portion of the patterned insulating layer located between adjacent multiple chips.
[0006] Based on the above, during the manufacturing process of the package structure, the substrate used for supporting the chip can be used as part of the conductive element. The second conductive portion, which serves as another part of the conductive element, can be made from the same film layer as the circuit layer used to electrically connect the chip. Furthermore, the conductive element surrounding the chip can reduce interference from external electromagnetic signals. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the package structure and improves the yield and quality of the package structure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0110] In this embodiment, the first circuit 141 and the second circuit 142 are electrically isolated from each other. Furthermore, the conductive member 160 can shield electromagnetic signals between the first chip 110 and the second chip 120. This allows for signal isolation between the first chip 110 and the second chip 120, and reduces unexpected electromagnetic signal interference between the first chip 110 and the second chip 120.
[0111] In this embodiment, the second conductive portion 162 and the circuit layer 140 constituting the conductive element 160 may be formed from the same film layer. For example, the second conductive portion 162 and the circuit layer 140 may be formed through the same steps (eg, Figure 1C The second conductive portion 162 and the circuit layer 140 include corresponding seed layers 141s, 142s, and 146s and plated layers 141p, 142p, and 146p. For another example, the seed layer 141s, the seed layer 142s, and the seed layer 146s are substantially the same film layer, and the plated layer 141p, the plated layer 142p, and the plated layer 146p are substantially the same film layer.
[0112] The patterned insulating layer 150 covers the circuit layer 140 , and a portion of the patterned insulating layer 150 is located between the adjacent first chip 110 and the second chip 120 .
[0113] In this embodiment, the patterned insulating layer 150 may surround the second conductive portion 162. For example, the patterned insulating layer 150 may surround and cover the second conductive portion 162 located on the dielectric side surface 130c. This can reduce the possibility of peeling of the second conductive portion 162.
[0114] In this embodiment, the maximum thickness 150h of the patterned insulating layer 150 may be greater than the maximum thickness 130h of the dielectric body 130 , but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0115] In this embodiment, the substrate 161 can be a block metal plate or other suitable conductive block substrate. During the manufacturing process of the package structure 100, the substrate 161 can be suitable for carrying the structure formed thereon or the component configured thereon. Moreover, the substrate 161 as a part of the conductive member 160 can reduce the electromagnetic wave signal from causing unexpected interference to the first chip 110 and / or the second chip 120. Moreover, the substrate 161 can be thermally coupled to the first chip 110 and / or the second chip 120. That is, the substrate 161 used for carrying during the manufacturing process of the package structure 100 can be used as an electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI Shielding) and / or heat dissipation component in the package structure 100. In this way, the manufacturing process of the package structure 100 can be relatively simple. Moreover, the yield and quality of the package structure 100 can be better.
[0116] In this embodiment, the second conductive portion 162 and the circuit layer 140 constituting the conductive element 160 can be formed in the same film layer in the same steps. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the package structure 100 and improves the yield and quality of the package structure 100.
[0117] In one embodiment, the substrate 161 may be a block-shaped plate that is not patterned (e.g., without perforations or recesses). This simplifies the manufacturing process of the package structure 100 and improves the yield and quality of the package structure 100.
[0118] Figure 2 The package structure 200 of the second embodiment is similar to the package structure 100 of the first embodiment. Similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals and have similar functions, materials, or formation methods, and their descriptions are omitted.
[0119] Please refer to Figure 2The package structure 200 may include a conductive member 160, a plurality of chips 110, 120, a dielectric 130, a circuit layer 140, a patterned insulating layer 150, and a thermal interface material layer (TIM layer) 281. The thermal interface material layer 281 may include a thermally conductive adhesive, a thermally conductive paste, a thermally conductive adhesive film, or a thermally conductive tape having a conductive material (e.g., conductive particles), but the present invention is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the thermal interface material layer 281 may enhance the thermal coupling between the substrate 161 and the chip (e.g., the first chip 110 and / or the second chip 120).
[0120] Figure 3 1 is a cross-sectional view of a package structure according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The package structure 300 of the third embodiment is similar to the package structure 100 of the first embodiment. Similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals and have similar functions, materials, or formation methods, and their descriptions are omitted.
[0121] Please refer to Figure 3 The package structure 300 may include a conductive member 360 , a plurality of chips 110 , 120 , a dielectric 130 , a circuit layer 140 , and a patterned insulating layer 150 .
[0122] In this embodiment, substrate 382 may be a block-shaped insulating plate, and a conductive layer 361 may be provided on a surface of substrate 382. Conductive layer 361 and second conductive portion 162, which are electrically connected to each other, may be referred to as a conductive member 360. First chip 110 and second chip 120 may be disposed on conductive layer 361 (referred to as a first conductive portion) constituting conductive member 360.
[0123] In this embodiment, the substrate 382 and the conductive layer 361 thereon can be suitable for supporting structures formed thereon or components disposed thereon during the manufacturing process of the package structure 300. The conductive layer 361 can be a single film layer or a plurality of stacked film layers.
[0124] In summary, during the manufacturing process of the package structure, the substrate used for carrying the chip can serve as part of the conductive element. The second conductive portion, another part of the conductive element, can be made of the same film layer as the circuit layer used to electrically connect the chip. Furthermore, the conductive element surrounding the chip can reduce interference from external electromagnetic signals. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the package structure and improves the yield and quality of the package structure.
