These chips are soldered onto the PCB board using SMT technology. This will cause delays and affect the response speed of mobile terminals such as smartphones. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new packaging structure that can reduce size and thinness while improving speed and capacity, so as to enable it to have high density and high speed.

After that, the TMV process is used to create the second and third openings on the double sides of the entire structure, so that the entire structure has channels or lines for connection with the PCB board and flash memory chip substrate. The chips in the SOC chip module and LPDDR chip module are interconnected, thereby improving the response speed of the mobile terminal.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] A packaging stacking structure for a SoC and a memory chip, see Figure 1 It includes a PCB board 10, a SOC chip module 20, an LPDDR chip module 30, a UFS chip module 40, and a composite substrate 50.
[0023] A raised first solder ball 11 is provided on the outer periphery of the upper surface of the PCB board 10;
[0024] SOC chip module 20 includes several SOC chips 21 and a first molding compound 22. Each group of SOC chips 21 is provided with an SOC chip bump 23.
[0025] The LPDDR chip module 30 includes several memory chips 31, an adapter board 32, and a second molding compound 33;
[0026] UFS chip module 40 includes a main control chip 41, a plurality of stacked flash memory chips 42, a flash memory chip substrate 43, and a third molding compound 44;
[0027] Before encapsulation, the encapsulated substrate 50 is pre-formed with a first opening 51 using the TMV process. The first opening 51 contains corresponding circuits and plating. One surface of the encapsulated substrate 50 is encapsulated and connected to several memory chips 31 through a second molding compound 33, and the second molding compound also encapsulates an adapter board 32. The other surface formed by the combination of several memory chips 31 is provided with the adapter board 32. The central area of the other surface of the encapsulated substrate 50 is encapsulated with several SOC chips through a first molding compound. Each group of SOC chips is connected to the corresponding circuit or plating of the encapsulated substrate 50 via a corresponding SOC chip bump 23. The outer periphery of the other surface of the encapsulated substrate 50 is connected to the raised first solder ball 11 of the PCB board 10. The surface of the adapter board 32 facing away from the memory chip 31 is provided with a raised second solder ball 34. The exposed surface of the flash memory chip substrate 43 is connected to the raised second solder ball 34. The third molding compound 44 of the flash memory chip substrate 43 encapsulates a main control chip 41 and several stacked flash memory chips 42.
[0028] In specific implementation, the first opening 51 is pre-set on the encapsulation substrate 50 using the TMV process. Then, the part of the SOC chip module 20 and the LPDDR chip module 30 without the plastic encapsulation body is encapsulated on the encapsulation substrate 50 using a double-sided plastic encapsulation method. Then, the TMV process is used to open the double sides of the entire mechanism to form the second opening 52 and the third opening 53, so that the entire mechanism has a channel or line to connect with the PCB board 10 and the flash memory chip substrate 43, and the chips in the SOC chip module 20 and the LPDDR chip module 30 are interconnected, thereby improving the response speed of the mobile terminal.
[0029] The plurality of memory chips 31 include stacked memory chip groups 301 arranged in two columns. The two stacked memory chip groups 301 have the same height, and the memory chips 31 in each stacked memory chip group 301 are stacked in a staggered manner and connected by a first gold wire 302.
[0030] The main control chip 41 is located on one side of the surface area of the flash memory chip substrate 43, and a plurality of stacked flash memory chips 42 are located on the other side of the surface area of the flash memory chip substrate 43. The flash memory chips of the plurality of stacked flash memory chips 42 are stacked in a staggered manner and connected by a second gold wire 401.
[0031] The adapter board 32 is supported on the same height surface formed by two stacked memory chip groups 301. The adapter board 32 is connected to one of the stacked memory chip groups 301 through the third gold wire 303. The flash memory chip substrate 43 is provided with a fourth opening 402 through TMV process. The lines in the fourth opening 402 are connected to the raised second solder ball 34 of the adapter board 32, and the main control chip 41 and several stacked flash memory chips 42 are indirectly connected to the PCB board 10.
[0032] In specific implementation, the second opening 52 corresponds to the corresponding position of the raised second solder ball 34 and the second molding compound, ensuring a reliable connection between the raised second solder ball 34 and the corresponding line of the flash memory chip substrate 43;
[0033] The sealing substrate 50 connects the SOC chip module 20 and the LPDDR chip module 30 to the raised first solder ball 11 on the PCB board 10 through the lines set by the first opening 51 and the third opening 53, ensuring the interconnection of the two sets of chips.
[0034] Its manufacturing principle is as follows: The memory chip and SOC chip of the LPDDR chip module are interconnected through a multi-layer encapsulation substrate, and the first encapsulation body and the second encapsulation body are formed through double-sided molding process, so that the two form an integrated structure. Then, holes are opened on the surface of the encapsulation substrate and the second encapsulation body through TMV process, so that the integrated structure has channels or lines for connection with PCB board and flash memory chip substrate.
[0035] The UFS chip module is also packaged independently. The flash memory chip substrate is opened through TMV process, and then the UFS chip module 40 is SMT soldered on the exposed second solder ball of the adapter board. Then, the SOC chip module 20, LPDDR chip module 30, UFS chip module 40 and encapsulation substrate 50 are combined to form an overall structure and are SMT soldered on the first solder ball 11 of the PCB board to realize the PoP structure of SOC and memory products.
[0036] The SOC chip and the memory chip of the LPDDR chip module are encapsulated using double-sided plastic encapsulation. After encapsulation, double-sided TMV openings are made. Then, the UFS chip module is SMT soldered from the adapter board of the LPDDR chip module. Finally, the entire structure is SMT soldered to the PCB board to realize the PoP structure of the SOC and Memory products, improve the product's operating speed, and reduce its size.
[0037] Several SOC chips and memory chips from LPDDR chip modules are encapsulated on both sides of a composite substrate using a double-sided molding process. The chips within the SOC chip module and the LPDDR chip module are interconnected, thereby improving the response speed of the mobile terminal.
[0038] Furthermore, the LPDDR chip module and the UFS chip module are packaged independently, resulting in higher packaging and testing yields. Combining the two products into a finished product yields even higher yields. At the same time, the UFS chips corresponding to the UFS chip module will not be lost. The two modules are packaged and tested independently before being mixed and packaged, resulting in higher packaging yields and thus reducing costs.
