[0044] Furthermore, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other, unless otherwise specified. This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a semiconductor structure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The semiconductor structure may include: a first redistribution layer 1, a first passive component 2, a first active component 3, and a first molding layer 5. The first redistribution layer 1 may include a first bottom wiring layer 101 and a first bottom dielectric layer 102. The first bottom wiring layer 101 may be embedded within the first bottom dielectric layer 102. The first passive component 2 may be electrically connected to the first bottom wiring layer 101. The first active component 3 may have a first side surface. The first molding layer 5 may cover the first redistribution layer 1, the first passive component 2, and the first active component 3. The first bottom dielectric layer 102 may expose a portion of the first active component 3 so that the first side surface contacts the first bottom dielectric layer 102 and the first molding layer 5.

[0046] The first redistribution layer 1 can be, for example, a hybrid redistribution layer, which can include conductive traces of different sizes, and conductive traces of different sizes can correspond to different numbers of I / O (Input / Output).

[0047] The first rewiring layer 1 can be a single layer or multiple layers. In practice, depending on the number of I / Os and design requirements, single-layer or multi-layer rewiring can be implemented. For multi-layer rewiring, please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of another embodiment of the semiconductor structure according to the present disclosure is shown.

[0048] The first bottom dielectric layer 102 can be made of, for example, silicon oxide, polyimide (PI), or other suitable dielectric materials. The first bottom dielectric layer 102 can cover the electrical contacts of the first passive component 2 and the gap between the electrical contacts of the first passive component 2 and the substrate 6, thus serving to fix the first active component 3 and the first passive component 2.

[0049] The first bottom circuit layer 101 can be made of metals such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), copper (Cu) or their alloys.

[0050] The first passive component 2 can be, for example, a capacitor, an inductor, a resistor, etc.

[0051] The first active component 3 can be, for example, a chip of various sizes and functions.

[0052] The first molding layer 5 can be formed from various molding compounds. For example, molding compounds may include epoxy resin, BT (Bismaleimide Triazine Resin) resin, filler, catalyst, pigment, release agent, flame retardant, coupling agent, hardener, low stress absorber, adhesion promoter, ion trapping agent, etc.

[0053] In existing semiconductor structures, the bottom dielectric layer can cover the active component, so the side surface of the active component only contacts the bottom dielectric layer. However, in the semiconductor structure disclosed herein, because the first bottom dielectric layer 102 exposes part of the first active component 3, the first side surface of the first active component 3 can contact the first bottom dielectric layer 102 and the first molding layer 5.

[0054] Compared to existing semiconductor structures, the first bottom dielectric layer 102 of the semiconductor structure disclosed herein has a smaller thickness, which can effectively reduce the thickness of the semiconductor structure. Furthermore, the first active component 3 is partially embedded within the first bottom dielectric layer 102, which can improve its stress resistance.

[0055] In some alternative implementations, the first bottom dielectric layer 102 may expose a portion of the first passive component 2.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, the first redistribution layer 1 may further include a first intermediate wiring layer 103, a first top wiring layer 105 and a first top dielectric layer 104. The first top dielectric layer 104 is disposed on the first bottom dielectric layer 102. The first intermediate wiring layer 103 is electrically connected to the first bottom wiring layer 101 and the first top wiring layer 105 respectively. The first top wiring layer 105 is embedded in the first top dielectric layer 104 and exposed from the first top dielectric layer 104.

[0057] In some alternative implementations, the first top dielectric layer 104 may cover a portion of the first passive component 2 and expose a portion of the first active component 3 such that the first side surface contacts the first top dielectric layer 104.

[0058] Since the first bottom dielectric layer 102 can expose a portion of the first passive component 2, the first top dielectric layer 104 disposed on the first bottom dielectric layer 102 can cover a portion of the first passive component 2. Since the first bottom dielectric layer 102 can expose a portion of the first active component 3, the first side surface of the first active component 3 can contact the first bottom dielectric layer 102, the first top dielectric layer 104, and the first molding layer 5.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 6A , Figure 6A A schematic diagram of another embodiment of the semiconductor structure according to the present disclosure is shown.

[0060] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 6A As shown, the first mold sealing layer 5 can expose a portion of the first bottom dielectric layer 102.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 6B , Figure 6B A schematic diagram of another embodiment of the semiconductor structure according to the present disclosure is shown.

[0062] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 6B As shown, the first mold sealing layer 5 can further expose a portion of the first top dielectric layer 104.

[0063] In some alternative implementations, the semiconductor structure may further include: a first electronic component 4 electrically connected to the first top line layer 105.

[0064] The first electronic component 4 can be an active component (such as a chip) or a passive component (such as a capacitor, inductor, or resistor).

[0065] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of another embodiment of the semiconductor structure according to the present disclosure is shown.

[0066] In some alternative implementations, the semiconductor structure may further include a third electronic component 12 electrically connected to the second intermediate circuit layer 703.

[0067] The third electronic component 12 can be an active component, such as a chip, or a passive component, such as a capacitor, inductor, or resistor.

[0068] In practice, the placement and arrangement of electronic components can be adjusted according to actual design requirements. For example, a first active component 3 and a first passive component 2 can be sequentially placed on the first bottom circuit layer 101, a third electronic component 12 can be placed on the first middle circuit layer 103, and a first electronic component 4 can be placed on the first top circuit layer 105. Alternatively, the first active component 3 and the first passive component 2 can be placed on the first bottom circuit layer 101, and the first electronic component 4 can be placed on the first top circuit layer 105.

[0069] The electronic components offer high flexibility in placement, are suitable for multi-size chip packaging, have high packaging density and compact size, and make high utilization of conductive vias between circuit layers, which helps reduce costs.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 2A , Figure 2A A schematic diagram of another embodiment of the semiconductor structure according to the present disclosure is shown.

[0071] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 2A As shown, the width of the first top dielectric layer 104 can be smaller than the width of the first bottom dielectric layer 102.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 2B , Figure 2B A schematic diagram of another embodiment of the semiconductor structure according to the present disclosure is shown.

[0073] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 2B As shown, the width of the first top dielectric layer 104 can be greater than the width of the first bottom dielectric layer 102, so that the first top dielectric layer 104 covers the side of the first bottom dielectric layer 102.

[0074] In existing semiconductor structures, the width of the bottom dielectric layer can be smaller than the width of the top dielectric layer, and the top dielectric layer can cover the bottom dielectric layer. A molding layer can also cover the top dielectric layer, and the side surface of the molding layer can be perpendicular to the horizontal plane. However, in the semiconductor structure disclosed herein, the width of the first top dielectric layer 104 can be smaller than the width of the first bottom dielectric layer 102, and the molding layer can cover both the first top dielectric layer 104 and the first bottom dielectric layer 102. The side surface of the molding layer can form an angle of less than 90 degrees with the horizontal plane, i.e., the side surface of the molding layer is an inclined surface.

[0075] Compared to existing semiconductor structures, the semiconductor structure disclosed herein has more circuit layers and more I / Os per unit package volume. Furthermore, since the width of the first top dielectric layer 104 is smaller than the width of the first bottom dielectric layer 102, forming a gradually inward-sloping side step, the side surface of the molding layer can be a sloping surface, which can effectively reduce the package size of the semiconductor structure and makes it less likely for stress to be generated and accumulated on the sides.

[0076] In practice, to increase the number of I / Os and meet product size requirements, the width or area of ​​the first bottom dielectric layer 102 can be maximized, making it easier to control the overall size of the semiconductor structure. However, in existing semiconductor products, the top dielectric layer has the largest width, but in the manufacturing process, because the bottom dielectric layer is set first and then the top dielectric layer is set on top of the bottom dielectric layer, it is difficult to control the overall size of the semiconductor structure.

[0077] In some alternative implementations, the thickness of the first active component 3 may be greater than the thickness of the first passive component 2.

[0078] In some alternative embodiments, the semiconductor structure further includes: a substrate 6 having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, wherein a first bottom circuit layer 101 is disposed on the first surface.

[0079] The substrate 6 can be a coreless substrate or a cored substrate. The substrate 6 can be made of rigid or flexible substrate materials. Rigid substrate materials can be, for example, copper-clad laminate materials, and flexible substrate materials can be, for example, PI (Polyimide) materials. The substrate 6 can be, for example, a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). The substrate 6 can be, for example, a BGA (Ball Grid Array) substrate, and can be provided with multiple external electrical connectors 13. The external electrical connectors 13 can be, for example, metal bumps and multiple solder balls.

[0080] In some alternative implementations, the portion of the first bottom dielectric layer 102 near the first active component 3 and the first passive component 2 may be curved.

[0081] When the first active component 3 and the first passive component 2 are placed on the substrate 6 in a vertical direction, capillary action occurs during the formation of the first bottom dielectric layer 102. The portion of the first bottom dielectric layer 102 near the first active component 3 and the first passive component 2 can be curved, which further fixes the first active component 3 and the first passive component 2, and enhances the adhesion and structural strength.

[0082] In some alternative embodiments, the semiconductor structure may further include: a second redistribution layer 7, including a second bottom circuit layer 701 and a second bottom dielectric layer 702, the second bottom dielectric layer 702 being disposed on a second surface, and the second bottom circuit layer 701 being embedded within the second bottom dielectric layer 702; a second passive component 8, electrically connected to the second bottom circuit layer 701; a second active component 9, electrically connected to the second bottom circuit layer 701, the second active component 9 having a second side surface; a second molding layer 11, covering the second redistribution layer 7, the second passive component 8, and the second active component 9; the second bottom dielectric layer 702 exposing a portion of the second active component 9 such that the second side surface contacts the second bottom dielectric layer 702 and the second molding layer 11.

[0083] The second redistribution layer 7 can be, for example, a hybrid redistribution layer, which can include conductive traces of different sizes, and conductive traces of different sizes can correspond to different numbers of I / O (Input / Output).

[0084] The second routing layer 7 can be a single layer or multiple layers. In practice, single-layer or multi-layer rerouting can be performed depending on the number of I / Os and design requirements.

[0085] The second bottom dielectric layer 702 can be made of, for example, silicon oxide, PI, or other suitable dielectric materials.

[0086] The second bottom circuit layer 701 can be, for example, made of metals such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), and copper (Cu) or their alloys. The second bottom dielectric layer 702 can cover the electrical contacts of the second passive component 8 and / or the gap between the electrical contacts of the second passive component 8 and the substrate 6, thus serving to fix the second active component 9 and / or the second passive component 8.

[0087] The second passive component 8 can be, for example, a capacitor, an inductor, a resistor, etc.

[0088] The second active component 9 can be, for example, a chip of various sizes and functions.

[0089] The second molding layer 11 can be formed from various molding compounds. For example, molding compounds may include epoxy resin, BT (Bismaleimide Triazine Resin) resin, filler, catalyst, pigment, release agent, flame retardant, coupling agent, hardener, low stress absorber, adhesion promoter, ion trapping agent, etc.

[0090] The semiconductor structure disclosed herein can be applied to a DSM structure, with substrate 6 as the center, and the overall balance of the DSM structure is good.

[0091] In some alternative implementations, the second bottom dielectric layer 702 may expose a portion of the second passive component 8.

[0092] In some alternative embodiments, the second redistribution layer 7 may further include a second intermediate wiring layer 703, a second top wiring layer 705, and a second top dielectric layer 704. The second intermediate wiring layer 703 is electrically connected to the second bottom wiring layer 701 and the second top wiring layer 705, respectively. The second top wiring layer 705 is embedded in the second top dielectric layer 704 and exposed from the second top dielectric layer 704.

[0093] In some alternative implementations, the second top dielectric layer 704 may cover a portion of the second passive component 8 and expose a portion of the second active component 9 such that the second side surface contacts the second top dielectric layer 704.

[0094] In some alternative implementations, the semiconductor structure may further include a second electronic component 10 electrically connected to the second top line layer 705.

[0095] The second electronic component 10 can be an active component, such as a chip, or a passive component, such as a capacitor, inductor, or resistor.

[0096] In some alternative implementations, the width of the second top dielectric layer 704 may be smaller than the width of the second bottom dielectric layer 702.

[0097] In some alternative implementations, the thickness of the second active component 9 may be greater than the thickness of the second passive component 8.

[0098] In some optional embodiments, the line width and line spacing L / S of the first bottom line layer 101 and / or the second bottom line layer 701 can be greater than 50 μm, and the thickness of the first bottom line layer 101 and / or the second bottom line layer 701 can be between 20 μm and 50 μm; the L / S of the first intermediate line layer 103 and / or the second intermediate line layer 703 can be less than 20 μm, and the thickness of the first intermediate line layer 103 and / or the second intermediate line layer 703 can be between 5 μm and 30 μm; the L / S of the first top line layer 105 and / or the second top line layer 705 can be less than 50 μm, and the thickness of the first top line layer 105 and / or the second top line layer 705 can be between 10 μm and 30 μm.

[0099] The first bottom circuit layer 101, the first intermediate circuit layer 103, and the first top circuit layer 105 may include conductive traces of different sizes. The second bottom circuit layer 701, the second intermediate circuit layer 703, and the second top circuit layer 705 may also include conductive traces of different sizes. Different sizes of conductive traces can correspond to different numbers of I / O (Input / Output) operations.
