[0027] As the background technology, the performance of the packaging structure in the prior art still needs to be improved.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1A packaging structure, a wiring substrate 111 includes a first surface 111a and a second surface 111b opposite to each other; a metal ball 112 located on the second surface 111b; a conductive protrusion 113 located on the first surface 111; a first redistribution layer 101 located on the conductive protrusion 113, a filling glue 114 between the first redistribution layer 101 and the first surface 111a, and two separate bridge chips (bridge chips) located on the first redistribution layer 101 The present invention relates to a bridge chip 102, a plurality of conductive pillars 103 arranged discretely on the first redistribution layer 101, a first plastic layer 104 on the first redistribution layer 101, wherein the first plastic layer 104 plasticizes the bridge chip 102 and the conductive pillars 103 and exposes the top surface of the bridge chip 102 and the conductive pillars 103; a second redistribution layer 105 on the plastic layer 104, a bonding wire 106 (pad) on the second redistribution layer 105, a first chip 107 and a second chip 108 discretely located on the bonding wire 106, wherein the first chip 107 is connected to a bridge chip 102 through the bonding wire 106 and the second redistribution layer 105. 102 is electrically connected, and the second chip 108 is electrically connected to another bridge chip 102 through the welding wire 106 and the second redistribution layer 105; the dielectric layer 109 is located on the second redistribution layer 105, and the dielectric layer 109 is located between the first chip 107 and the second chip 108; the second plastic sealing layer 110 is located on the second redistribution layer 105, and the second plastic sealing layer 110 plastic seals the first chip 107, the second chip 108, the dielectric layer 109, the welding wire 106, etc. on the second redistribution layer 105, and the second plastic sealing layer 110 exposes the surfaces of the first chip 107, the second chip 108 and the dielectric layer 109.
[0029] The inventors have discovered that in this packaging structure, information is transmitted between the first chip 107 and the second chip 108 through the bridge chip 102. On the one hand, the transmission distance between the first chip 107 and the second chip 108 is far, which is not conducive to high-frequency transmission; on the other hand, there are slight differences in the heights of the first plastic packaging layer 104, the bridge chip 102 and the conductive column 103, resulting in poor flatness of the plane formed by the first plastic packaging layer 104, the bridge chip 102 and the conductive column 103. As a result, the pitch of the second redistribution layer 105 formed is not easy to be made small, which is not conducive to improving the accuracy and performance of the packaging structure.
[0030] On this basis, the present invention provides a semiconductor structure, a semiconductor chip, a packaging structure and corresponding formation methods. The substrate includes a plurality of chip areas, each chip area has a groove recessed relative to the first surface. After the first chip is embedded in the substrate through the groove, a redistribution layer is formed on the functional surface of the first chip. The redistribution layer has a conductive structure. The second chip is located on the surface of the redistribution layer on each chip area. The second chip is electrically connected to the first chip through the conductive structure. The first chip and the second chip partially overlap in projection toward the substrate. The conductive column is located on the surface of the redistribution layer. The conductive column is electrically connected to the first chip through the conductive structure. On the one hand, this semiconductor structure embeds the first chip into the chip area of the substrate and then forms a redistribution layer on the functional surface of the first chip. Since the first chip is embedded in the substrate, the surface for forming the redistribution layer is more flat, and the pitch of the redistribution layer can be achieved to less than 1 micron, which ensures that the quality of the dielectric layer that can be formed is better, thereby helping to form a redistribution layer with high quality and smaller pitch, and having a wider range of applications; on the other hand, the projections of the first chip and the second chip partially overlap, and the transmission distance between the first chip and the second chip is short, which can more easily adapt to high-frequency transmission and expand the scope of use.
