In some configurations, the modulus of the protective layer 40 is less than about 9GPa, 7GPa, 5GPa, or 3GPa. In some configurations, the modulus of the protective layer 40 may be about 2GPa.

[0025] In some configurations, the protective layer 40 has a surface 401, a surface 402 opposite to the surface 401, and side surfaces 403 and 404 (also referred to as "curved side surfaces") that are recessed toward the electrical connector 30. In some configurations, the side surfaces 403 and 404 are recessed or at least partially recessed toward the space between the substrate 10 and the electronic component 20.

[0026] In some configurations, the protective layer 40 has one or more cavity spaces (e.g., cavity spaces V1 and V2). One or more cavity spaces may be located at a path between the electronic component 20 and the electronic component 50 or at least partially overlap the path. In some configurations, the cavity space is configured to reduce heat transfer from the electronic component 50 to the electronic component 20. In some configurations, the cavity space is configured to reduce the transfer of heat generated by the electronic component 50 and transferred toward the electronic component 20. In some configurations, multiple voids (e.g., cavity spaces V1 and V2) are formed within the protective layer 40 and between the electrical connectors 30. In some configurations, at least two of the voids have different widths. For example, the width S1 of the cavity space V1 is different from the width S1 of the cavity space V2. The cavity space may be referred to as a voicing, an air space, a pore, etc. In some configurations, the intermediate layer 310 overlaps horizontally with the cavity space V1. In some configurations, reference Figure 1B, two or more of the cavity spaces (e.g., cavity spaces V1 and V2) are connected. In some configurations, the protective layer 40 is partially separated from one or more of the electrical connectors 30 by one or more of the cavity spaces. In some configurations, the protective layer 40 includes multiple segments separated from each other by the cavity spaces V1 and V2. In some configurations, segments of the protective layer 40 are separated from one or more of the electrical connectors 30 by one or more of the cavity spaces V1 and V2. In some configurations, an area of ​​the surface 202 (or active surface) of the electronic component 20 is exposed by the protective layer 40 and is between adjacent electrical connectors 30 in a cross-sectional perspective view. An area of ​​the surface 202 may be exposed to the cavity space. In some configurations, a corner area of ​​the surface 202 (or bottom surface) of the electronic component 20 is exposed by the protective layer 40,

[0027] refer to Figure 1A In some configurations, the protective layer 40 includes portions 410 and 420 on opposite sides (e.g., different sides) of the electrical connector 30 in a cross-sectional perspective view. In some configurations, portions 410 and 420 are geometrically different from each other. In some configurations, portions 410 and 420 have different widths at the same elevation. For example, portion 410 may have different widths t1, t2, and t3 at different elevations, and portion 420 may have different widths t4, t5, and t6 at different elevations. In some configurations, width t1 and width t4 are at the same elevation and are different. In some configurations, width t2 and width t5 are at the same elevation and are different.

In some configurations, width t4 is smaller than width t5 and t6. In some configurations, ratio t4 / t5 is smaller than about 0.6. In some configurations, ratio t4 / t6 is smaller than about 0.6. In some configurations, ratio S1 / P1 of width S1 of cavity space V1 relative to pitch P1 of electrical connector 30 may be smaller than about 0.6.

[0029] refer to Figure 1AIn some configurations, the protective layer 40 is partially disposed between the substrate 10 and the electrical connector 30. In some configurations, the protective layer 40 may include one or more protrusions (e.g., protrusions 410a and 420a) disposed between the substrate 10 and the electrical connector 30. The protrusions 410a and 420a may overlap horizontally with the substrate 10. In some configurations, the protrusion 410a is different from the protrusion 420a in geometry. In some configurations, the protrusions 410a and 420a have different widths at the same height. For example, the width t2a of the protrusion 410a and the width t5a of the protrusion 420a may be at the same height and different. In some configurations, the protrusions 410a and 420a are between the substrate and the solder element 330 of the electrical connector 30. In some configurations, the intermediate layer 320 of the electrical connector 30 partially overlaps the protrusion 410a and / or the protrusion 420a.

In some configurations, the bottom filler 70 includes a resin layer 710 and a plurality of fillers 720. In some configurations, the thickness T2 of the bottom filler 70 is greater than the thickness T1 of the protective layer 40. In some configurations, the modulus of the bottom filler 70 is greater than the modulus of the protective layer 40. In some configurations, the viscosity of the bottom filler 70 is less than the viscosity of the protective layer 40. In some configurations, the viscosity of the bottom filler 70 is equal to or less than about 20 Pa·S. In some configurations, the viscosity of the bottom filler 70 is about 20 Pa·S. In some configurations, the modulus of the bottom filler 70 is greater than about 3 GPa, 7 GPa, 5 GPa, or 9 GPa. In some configurations, the modulus of the bottom filler 70 may be about 9 GPa.

[0034] The electrical contact 80 (also referred to as an "electrical connector") may be disposed on one or more sides of the protective layer 40. In some configurations, the electrical contact 80 is disposed on the conductive pad 140. In some configurations, the electrical contact 80 is electrically connected to the conductive pad 140. In some configurations, the height of the top surface 801 of the electrical contact 80 is higher than the height of the top surface (e.g., surface 401) of the protective layer 40 relative to the substrate 10. In some configurations, the height of the top surface 801 of the electrical contact 80 is higher than the height of the top surface (e.g., surface 201) of the electronic component 20 relative to the substrate 10. In some configurations, the electrical contact 80 horizontally overlaps the electronic component 20. In some configurations, the electrical contact 80 is disposed on one or more sides of the electronic component 20 and horizontally overlaps the electrical connector 30. In some configurations, the thickness T3 of the electrical contact 80 is greater than the thickness of the electrical connector 60. The electrical contact 80 may be or include a solder ball. For example, the electrical contacts 80 may include controlled collapse chip connect (C4) bumps, a ball grid array (BGA), or a land grid array (LGA).

[0035] The conductive layer, pad, guide post and / or through hole may independently include a conductive material such as a metal or a metal alloy. Examples include gold (Au), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), copper (Cu) or their alloys. The dielectric layer may independently include an organic material, a solder resist, PI, ABF, one or more molding compounds, one or more pre-impregnated composite fibers (e.g., prepreg materials), borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG), silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, undoped silicate glass (USG), any combination thereof, etc. The bottom filler may independently include an epoxy resin, a molding material (e.g., an epoxy molding material or other molding material), a polyimide, a phenolic compound or material, a material containing silicone dispersed therein, or a combination thereof.

[0036] In some configurations, the substrate 10 may have a size of approximately 25*20 mm. 2To approximately 30*14mm 2 The size of the electronic component 20 may be approximately 0.7*0.5mm 2 To approximately 1*0.8mm 2 The distance d1 between the opening 130h and the electronic component 20 may be about 0.185 mm to about 0.205 mm, and the distance d2 between the opening 130h and the protective layer 40 may be about 0.13 mm to about 0.28 mm. In some configurations, the substrate 10 may have a size of about 55*35 mm. 2 To approximately 60*40mm 2 The size of the electronic component 20 may be approximately 2*1 mm 2 To about 3*2mm 2 The distance d1 between the opening 130h and the electronic component 20 may be about 0.21 mm to about 0.68 mm, and the distance d2 between the opening 130h and the protective layer 40 may be about 0.25 mm to about 0.52 mm.

[0037] In some cases where an electronic component is bonded to a substrate via a solder bump (e.g., electrical connector 30) and then an underfill is applied to encapsulate the solder bump, the underfill may overflow toward a conductive pad (also referred to as a "solder ball pad") for a solder ball (e.g., conductive pad 130 for electrical contact 80). Once the solder ball pad is covered by the underfill, the solder ball cannot be bonded to the solder ball pad. To prevent the aforementioned problem, a keep out zone (KOZ) is required between the solder ball pad and the solder bump. For a size of about 25*20 mm, the KOZ may be formed between the solder ball pad and the solder bump. 2 To approximately 30*14mm 2 The substrate size is about 0.7*0.5mm 2 To approximately 1*0.8mm 2 For electronic components, KOZ needs to be at least about 1*0.6mm 2 To approximately 1.5*2mm 2 . For the size of about 55*35mm 2 To approximately 60*40mm 2 The substrate size is about 2*1mm 2 To about 3*2mm 2 For electronic components, KOZ needs to be at least about 2*1mm 2 To approximately 3.5*2.5mm 2 .

[0038] In contrast, according to some configurations of the present disclosure, the electrical connector 30 is encapsulated by the protective layer 40 having one or more curved side surfaces concave toward the electrical connector 30, and the KOZ can be significantly reduced. For example, the distance d1 between the electronic component 20 and the opening 130h directly above the conductive pad 130 is about 0.185 mm to about 0.205 mm or about 0.21 mm to about 0.68 mm, which is significantly smaller than the aforementioned KOZ size. In addition, by means of the design of the protective layer 40, the relationship between various sizes of the components of the package structure 1 can have the following characteristics.

[0039] The opening 140h may have a distance d2' between the protective layer 40, and the electronic component 20 may have a distance h1 between the substrate 10. The electrical connector 30 may have a width w1. The electronic connector 30 may have a pitch P1. In some configurations, a ratio d1 / h1 of the distance d1 between the opening 130h and the electronic component 20 relative to the distance h1 is less than about 25, for example, 5 to less than 25, 10 to 20, or 11 to 14. In some configurations, a ratio d1 / P1 of the distance d1 relative to the pitch P1 is less than about 5, for example, 1 to less than 5, 1.5 to 3, or 1 to 2. In some configurations, a ratio d1 / t1 of the distance d1 relative to the width t1 is less than about 25, for example, 1 to less than 25, 3 to 20, or 5 to 10. In some configurations, a ratio d1 / w1 of the distance d1 relative to the width w1 is less than about 10, for example, 1 to less than 10, 2 to 8, or 3 to 10. In some configurations, a ratio d2 / h1 of a distance d2 between the protective layer 40 and the opening 130h of the substrate 10 relative to a distance h1 between the substrate 10 and the electronic component 20 is less than about 25, for example, 8 to less than 25, 10 to 20, or 11 to 15. In some configurations, a ratio d2' / h1 of a distance d2' between the protective layer 40 and the opening 140h of the substrate 10 relative to the distance h1 is less than about 25, for example, 8 to less than 25, 10 to 20, or 11 to 15. In some configurations, the ratio d2 / h1 may be different from the ratio d2' / h1. In some configurations, a ratio d2 / P1 of the distance d2 relative to the pitch P1 is less than about 3, for example, 1 to less than 3, 1 to 2.5, or 1.5 to 2. In some configurations, a ratio d2 / t1 of the distance d2 relative to the width t1 is less than about 45, for example, 0.5 to less than 45, 5 to 30, or 7.5 to 15. In some configurations, a ratio d2 / w1 of the distance d2 to the width w1 is less than about 8, such as 2 to less than 8, 3 to 6.5, or 3.5 to 4.5.

[0040] In some examples, the ratio d2 / h1 may be greater than 25, so that the distance d2 between the protection layer 40 and the opening 130h of the substrate 10 may be relatively large, or the distance h1 between the substrate 10 and the electronic component 20 may be relatively small. When the distance d2 is relatively large, the exclusion zone (KOZ) may also be enlarged. Therefore, the size of the package structure may increase unexpectedly. Alternatively, when the distance h1 (i.e., the gap maintained between the electronic component 20 and the substrate 10) is too small, the processing window for bonding the electronic component 20 to the substrate 10 may be relatively small, so that the difficulty and complexity of the manufacturing process increase, and the yield may be reduced.

[0041] According to some configurations of the present disclosure, the ratio d2 / h1 may be less than about 25, for example, 8 to less than 25. Therefore, the KOZ may be significantly reduced without increasing the difficulty and complexity of the manufacturing process. Therefore, the size of the package structure 1 may be reduced without reducing the yield. Similarly, a ratio d2' / h1 less than about 25 may have similar effects as described above.

[0042] In some examples, the ratio d2 / h1 may be less than 8, so that the distance d2 between the protection layer 40 and the opening 130h of the substrate 10 may be relatively small, or the distance h1 between the substrate 10 and the electronic component 20 may be relatively large. When the distance d2 is relatively small, the exclusion zone (KOZ) may be too small to prevent the material of the protection layer from overflowing toward the conductive pad 130 and / or the electrical contact 80 during the manufacturing process. Therefore, the yield may be significantly reduced. Alternatively, when the distance h1 (i.e., the gap maintained between the electronic component 20 and the substrate 10) is too large, the top surface of the electronic component 20 may be higher than the top surface of the electrical contact 80 relative to the substrate 10, which may hinder the package structure from being bonded to an external component or substrate through the electrical contact 80, and thus reduce the yield, or require a larger electrical contact 80 with a larger height, which may increase the size of the package structure.

[0043] According to some configurations of the present disclosure, the ratio d2 / h1 may be equal to or greater than about 8, for example, 8 to less than 25. Therefore, the KOZ may be significantly reduced without increasing the difficulty and complexity of the manufacturing process. Therefore, the size of the package structure 1 may be reduced without reducing the yield. Similarly, a ratio d2' / h1 less than about 25 may have similar effects as described above.

[0044] There may be a distance d3 between the electrical contact 80 and the electronic component 20, and there may be a distance d4 between the electrical contact 80 and the protective layer 40. The electrical contact 80 may have a width w2. The electrical contact 80 may have a pitch P2. In some configurations, a ratio d3 / h1 of the distance d3 relative to the distance h1 is less than about 35, for example, 5 to less than 35, 10 to 20, or 12 to 15. In some configurations, a ratio d3 / P1 of the distance d3 relative to the pitch P1 is less than about 20, for example, 0.1 to less than 3, 0.2 to 2, or 0.3 to 1. In some configurations, a ratio d3 / P2 of the distance d3 relative to the pitch P2 is less than about 1.8, for example, 0.1 to less than 1.8, 0.2 to 1.2, or 0.3 to 0.6. In some configurations, a ratio d3 / t1 of the distance d3 relative to the width t1 is less than about 35, for example, 1 to less than 35, 3 to 22, or 5 to 10. In some configurations, a ratio d3 / w1 of the distance d3 relative to the width w1 is less than about 15, such as 1 to less than 15, 2 to 10, or 3 to 5. In some configurations, a ratio d3 / w2 of the distance d3 relative to the width w2 is less than about 3, such as 0.0 to less than 3, 0.5 to 2, or 0.6 to 1. In some configurations, a ratio d4 / h1 of the distance d4 relative to the distance h1 is less than about 3.5, such as 0.05 to less than 3.5, 0.1 to 2, or 0.3 to 1. In some configurations, a ratio d4 / P1 of the distance d4 relative to the pitch P1 is less than about 0.4, such as 0.01 to less than 0.4, 0.02 to 0.2, or 0.03 to 0.1. In some configurations, the ratio d4 / P2 of the distance d4 relative to the pitch P2 is less than about 0.8, such as 0.001 to less than 0.8, 0.005 to 0.6, or 0.01 to 0.05. In some configurations, the ratio d4 / t1 of the distance d4 relative to the width t1 is less than about 8, such as 0.03 to less than 8, 0.1 to 4, or 0.3 to 2. In some configurations, the ratio d4 / w1 of the distance d4 relative to the width w1 is less than about 0.9, such as 0.01 to less than 0.9, 0.025 to 0.8, or 0.1 to 0.3. In some configurations, the ratio d4 / w2 of the distance d4 relative to the width w2 is less than about 0.2, such as 0.003 to less than 0.2, 0.005 to 0.1, or 0.01 to 0.06.

[0045] According to some configurations of the present disclosure, with the above ratio between the sizes of the elements of the package structure 1, the KOZ between the conductive pad 130 and the electrical connector 30 (or the KOZ between the electrical contact 80 and the protective layer 40) can be significantly reduced. Therefore, the package size can be significantly reduced and more space can be provided for more electrical contacts (i.e., input / output (I / O) count).

[0046] In addition, according to some configurations of the present disclosure, the protective layer is formed by or includes epoxy flux. The flux material of the epoxy flux can clean the bonding surface of the conductive pad, which is conducive to increasing the bonding strength between the solder element and the conductive pad. In addition, the epoxy resin of the epoxy flux can be cured during the reflow operation of the solder element of the electrical connector and form a protective layer for the electrical connector. Therefore, the operation step of setting the bottom filler to protect the electrical connector can be omitted, and the overflow problem of the above-mentioned bottom filler can be effectively prevented.

[0047] Furthermore, according to some configurations of the present disclosure, the solvent in the flux material may be evaporated during the reflow operation. Thus, the protective layer may be formed with a concave curved side surface that is recessed from the side surface of the electronic component. Thus, the KOZ may be reduced or even omitted, and thus the package size may be reduced. Additionally, although the bottom fill material does not form voids during the curing operation, the solvent may evaporate and be expelled from the epoxy flux, and voids may be formed in the protective layer, which is beneficial for reducing heat transfer through the substrate toward the electronic component.

[0048] In addition, according to some configurations of the present disclosure, the epoxy flux has a relatively high viscosity compared to the bottom fill material, and, for example, during the reflow operation, the viscosity of the epoxy flux may increase as the temperature increases. Therefore, the protective layer formed by the epoxy flux after the reflow operation may have an increased adhesion strength to the electrical connectors, the substrate, and the electronic components. Therefore, the protective layer may provide a relatively high encapsulation of the electrical connectors, the substrate, and the electronic components, and thus further improve the reliability of the package structure 1. In addition, the flux residue may remain in the protective layer without contaminating the surface of the substrate and the electronic components, and thus the flux cleaning operation may be omitted.

[0049] In addition, according to some configurations of the present disclosure, when the step of setting the bottom filler is omitted, the pre-plasma cleaning step for increasing the roughness of the connection surface between the bottom filler and the surface of the substrate and the electronic component can be omitted, and the step of curing the bottom filler can also be omitted. Thus, the manufacturing process can be simplified and the yield can be increased.
