And according to some embodiments, the thermal expansion coefficient of the adjustment layer 240a is less than 0.9 times the thermal expansion coefficient of the second insulating layer 224, or the thermal expansion coefficient of the adjustment layer 240a is less than 0.8 times the thermal expansion coefficient of the second insulating layer 224.
[0096] On the other hand, the Young's module of the adjustment layer 240a may be greater than the Young's module of at least one of the first insulating layer 214 and the second insulating layer 224, that is, the Young's module of the adjustment layer 240a may be greater than the Young's module of the first insulating layer 214, or the Young's module of the adjustment layer 240a may be greater than the Young's module of the second insulating layer 224, or the Young's module of the adjustment layer 240a may be greater than the Young's module of the first insulating layer 214 and the Young's module of the second insulating layer 224, thereby reducing the warping of the circuit structure 200a during the manufacturing process. For example, the adjustment layer 240a may be made of an underfill material, whose Young's module ranges from 9.5 GPa to 15 GPa, and the first insulating layer 214 and the second insulating layer 224 may be made of materials such as photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) or ajinomoto forming film (ABF), whose Young's module ranges from 2 GPa to 9 GPa, but are not limited thereto. Since the adjustment layer 240a and the first insulating layer 214 and the second insulating layer 224 are made of different materials, the thermal expansion trend of the adjustment layer 240a is also different from the thermal expansion trend of the first insulating layer 214 of the first circuit structure 210 and the second insulating layer 224 of the second circuit structure 220. Here, the thermal expansion trend is that after the material layer is thermally expanded, the two sides may bend upward (such as a tortoise shell shape) or bend downward (such as a bowl shape) along the direction Z. By making the thermal expansion trend of the adjustment layer 240a different from the thermal expansion trend of the first insulating layer 214 and the second insulating layer 224, that is, the warping directions are, for example, opposite directions, the warping can be slowed down, so that the electronic device 10a can have better structural reliability.
[0097] In addition, the electronic device 10a of the present embodiment further includes a packaging layer 300, which surrounds the electronic unit 100 and the circuit structure 200a. In other words, in a cross-sectional view, the packaging layer 300 may at least contact one side of the electronic unit 100. Here, the packaging layer 300 at least covers the back side 101 of the electronic unit 100 and the adjustment layer 240a, but is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the material of the packaging layer 300 is, for example, epoxy molding compound (EMC), wherein the packaging layer 300 is, for example, formed by a molding process, but is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the electronic device 10a of the present embodiment further includes a glue layer 350, which is disposed between the electronic unit 100 and the second circuit structure 220, wherein the glue layer 350 at least covers the pad 102 and the connector 150 of the electronic unit 100. In one embodiment, the glue layer 350 may be, for example, an underfill layer that can directly contact the active surface 103 of the electronic unit 100 and the surface S1 of the second circuit structure 220 that is relatively far away from the first circuit structure 210, and fill the space between two adjacent connectors 150 and the space between two adjacent pads 102. In one embodiment, the glue layer 350 is used to protect the connector 150 or ensure the connection between the electronic unit 100 and the circuit structure 200a. In one embodiment, the material of the glue layer 350 may be, for example, resin, epoxy resin or molding compound, but is not limited thereto. In addition, the electronic device 10a of this embodiment also includes a solder ball 400, which is disposed on the surface S2 of the first circuit structure 210 that is relatively far away from the second circuit structure 220, wherein the electronic device 10a can be electrically connected to an external circuit through the solder ball 400.
[0098] In short, the adjustment layer 240a of the present embodiment is arranged between the second circuit structure 220 and the first circuit structure 210 and surrounds the bonding pad 230a, wherein the thermal expansion coefficient of the adjustment layer 240a is smaller than the thermal expansion coefficient of at least one of the first insulating layer 214 of the first circuit structure 210 and the second insulating layer 224 of the second circuit structure 220, thereby effectively alleviating board warping, ensuring the process accuracy of the corresponding bonding pad (i.e., the second circuit layer 222) of the electronic unit 100 located at the top layer, and enabling the electronic device 10a disclosed herein to have better structural reliability.
