In addition, the fourth insulating material 10 includes epoxy resin, silicon gel, polymer, and bisphenol F epoxy chloropropane polymer, and has a thickness of 100-300um after solidification. After the wafer is cut into individual chips, the individual chips can be further arranged in a board level packaging mold, and the third metal bump 8 is aligned with the board level third metal bump socket 19 of the board level upper mold 17, and the fourth metal bump 9 is aligned with the board level fourth metal bump socket 20 of the board level lower mold 18. After being fixed, the fourth insulating material 10 in a hot melt state is injected through the board level feeding port 21.
