AI Technical Summary
Making ceramic substrates with specific structures is costly and fragile, resulting in low yields of packaging structures, and it is difficult to control the cavity depth in the two-step cavity formation process, resulting in uneven platform height, affecting the accuracy of alignment between the chip and the conductive wires.
Two substrates are stacked to form a combined perforation, and the exposed part of the top surface of the lower substrate serves as the platform of the chip. The process is simplified through a single-step drilling operation to ensure that the platform is highly uniform, and the connecting element and the chip side surface are encapsulated through an adhesive layer. The chip and conductive wire are protected using a spacer structure, and the conductive wires are stored in the substrate perforation.
Improves the yield and reliability of the package structure, reduces position shift errors, enhances electrical performance, and provides EMI shielding without increasing the package size, preventing chip and conductive wire damage.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to a packaging structure. Background Art
[0002] Currently, in order to manufacture a packaging structure for a chip or component having input / output (I / O) terminals on opposite sides, a ceramic substrate may be manufactured to provide a specific structure for the chip or component to be disposed therein, such that the I / O terminals on the opposite sides of the chip or component can be exposed through the ceramic substrate for electrical connection. However, the cost and difficulty of manufacturing a ceramic substrate with a specific structure may be relatively high, and the brittle texture of the ceramic substrate may make the ceramic substrate relatively fragile, thus reducing the yield. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In one or more arrangements, a packaging structure includes a lower substrate, an upper substrate, and a chip. The lower substrate defines a lower through-hole. The upper substrate is above the lower substrate and defines an upper through-hole connected to the lower through-hole. A portion of the top surface of the lower substrate is exposed through the upper through-hole. The chip is at least partially received by the upper through-hole and supported by the portion of the top surface of the lower substrate.
[0004] In one or more arrangements, a packaging structure includes a substrate structure and a chip. The substrate structure defines a through-hole that includes a stepped sidewall structure. The chip is disposed in the through-hole and supported by the stepped sidewall structure. In a top perspective view, a central axis of the substrate structure is not parallel to a central axis of the chip.
[0005] In one or more arrangements, a packaging structure includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a chip. The first substrate defines a first through-hole. The second substrate is above the first substrate and physically spaced apart from the first substrate. The second substrate defines a second through-hole. In a cross-sectional perspective view, a central axis of the first through-hole is not aligned with a central axis of the second through-hole. The chip is disposed in the second through-hole.

Note that some elements are omitted in
[0057] The portion 101a of the surface 101 exposed by the perforation 20T can serve as a support platform for the chip 60 to be disposed thereon. In some arrangements, when viewed from a top perspective, the portion 101a has a U-shaped profile. In some arrangements, the portion 31 of the adhesive layer 30 surrounds the chip 60. In some arrangements, the portion 32 of the adhesive layer 30 has a non-uniform thickness.
[0058] In some arrangements, the height of the top surface of the portion 32 of the adhesive layer 30 is between the top surface of the substrate structure (e.g., the surface 201) and the bottom surface of the substrate structure (e.g., the surface 102). In some arrangements, the height of the top surface of the chip 60 (e.g., the surface 601) is lower than the height of the top surface of the portion 32 of the adhesive layer 30 relative to the bottom surface of the substrate structure (e.g., the surface 102).
[0059] In some arrangements, the height of the top surface 321a of the portion 321, the height of the top surface 322a of the portion 322, and the height of the top surface 323a of the portion 323 can be between the top surface of the substrate structure (e.g., the surface 201) and the bottom surface of the substrate structure (e.g., the surface 102). In some arrangements, the height of the top surface of the chip 60 (e.g., the surface 601) is lower than the height of the top surface 321a of the portion 321, the height of the top surface 322a of the portion 322, and the height of the top surface 323a of the portion 323 relative to the bottom surface of the substrate structure (e.g., the surface 102).

In some arrangements, the thickness 323t of the portion 323 decreases in a direction away from the portion 321.
[0061] In some cases, a ceramic substrate is manufactured to provide a specific structure for a chip to be disposed therein such that I / O terminals on opposite sides of the chip can be exposed through the ceramic substrate for electrical connection. However, the cost and difficulty of manufacturing a ceramic substrate with a specific structure may be relatively high, and the brittle texture of the ceramic substrate may make the ceramic substrate relatively fragile, thus reducing the yield. To solve the above problems, a plastic substrate including a specific structure for a chip to be disposed therein can be provided. The plastic substrate can be formed by the following steps: a top cavity and a bottom cavity can be formed from the top surface and the bottom surface of the plastic substrate respectively to connect the top cavity and the bottom cavity, thereby forming a through hole and a platform defined by the cavities in the plastic substrate such that the chip can be disposed on the platform in the through hole of the plastic substrate. However, during the two-step cavity formation process, it is relatively difficult to precisely control the depths of the top cavity and the bottom cavity, and thus variations in the cavity depths may cause the platform so formed to have a non-uniform height or surface profile, which may also reduce the yield.
[0062] According to some arrangements of the present disclosure, two substrates each having a through hole are stacked on each other to form a combined through hole, wherein an exposed portion of the top surface of the lower substrate serves as a platform to support the chip. The process for forming the through holes in the substrates is relatively easy and simplified (e.g., by a single-step drilling operation), the problem of difficultly controlling the depths of multiple cavities can be eliminated, thus the yield can be increased, and the cost can be reduced. In addition, the platform formed by the exposed portion of the top surface of the lower substrate can have a relatively uniform height or a relatively flat surface profile, and thus the chip can be prevented from tilting, and thus the alignment accuracy of connecting conductive wires to the bonding regions (e.g., pads) of the chip can be improved, thereby the position offset error can be reduced, and the yield can be further increased. Additionally, both sides or surfaces of the chip can be exposed through the opposite openings of the combined through hole such that both sides or surfaces of the chip can be electrically connected to conductive elements (e.g., conductive wires).
[0063] In addition, according to some arrangements of the present disclosure, an adhesive layer encapsulates the connecting elements between the substrates and covers a part of the lateral side surfaces of the chip. Thus, the connecting elements that can electrically connect the substrates and are configured to transmit signals between the substrates can be protected by the adhesive layer, and the adhesion between the chip and the side walls of the through holes can be improved. Therefore, the reliability of the packaging structure can be improved, and the yield can also be increased.
[0064] In addition, according to some arrangements of the present disclosure, a spacer structure is higher than the chip and the conductive wires above the top surface of the substrate such that the spacer structure can protect the chip and the conductive wires from damage. Additionally, the spacer structure can be further electrically connected to ground such that the spacer structure can further serve as an EMI shielding element for the chip without setting or installing an additional EMI shielding structure. Therefore, the electrical performance of the packaging structure can be improved without increasing the packaging size.
[0065] In addition, according to some arrangements of the present disclosure, the conductive wire is received in a through-hole of one of the substrates, thereby protecting the conductive wire from damage without encapsulating the conductive wire with a protective element.
[0066] In addition, according to some arrangements of the present disclosure, the gap between the chip and the sidewall of the through-hole is relatively small (for example, the ratio of the width G3w of the gap G3 to the thickness 20t of the substrate 20 (G3w / 20t) is about 0.2 to about 0.5, for example, about 0.3). Thus, the gap with a specific size design is large enough to provide a tolerance space for setting the chip into the through-hole without accidentally hitting or rubbing the sidewall of the through-hole, and the gap is also small enough to prevent impurities or particles from falling into the through-hole. Therefore, the chip can be prevented from being damaged, and impurities or particles can also be avoided.

[0071] refer to Figure 2E, the substrate 20 can be connected or joined to the substrate 10 through the connecting element 90. In some arrangements, the substrate 20 is guided towards the substrate 10 until the connecting element 90 contacts the substrate 10, and then a heat treatment (e.g., a reflow operation) can be performed on the connecting element 90 to connect or join the substrate 20 to the substrate 10 through the connecting element 90. The substrates 10 and 20 jointly construct a substrate structure including a through hole T1 formed by the through holes 10T and 20T. The through hole T1 includes a stepped sidewall structure T11 having a stepped surface (e.g., a portion 101a of the surface 101 of the substrate 10 exposed by the through hole 20T).
[0072] Reference Figure 2F , the chip 60 including the pads 610 and 620 can be disposed in the through hole T1 supported by the stepped sidewall structure T11, and the spacer structure 50 can be adhered or attached to the substrate 20. In some arrangements, the surface 602 of the chip 60 can contact a portion 101a of the top surface (e.g., the surface 101) of the substrate 10. In some arrangements, the surface 101 of the substrate 10 can be substantially aligned with the surface 602 of the chip 60. In some arrangements, the chip 60 can be separated from the sidewall of the through hole 20T by a gap G1. In some arrangements, the spacer structure 50 is adhered to a portion 210A of the circuit layer 210 by an adhesive element 51 exposed by an opening 220T of the dielectric layer 220.
[0073] Reference Figure 2G , Figure 2F The structure illustrated in
[0074] Reference Figure 2H , a conductive wire 42 can be provided or formed above the surface 102 of the substrate 10 to connect the circuit layer 130 to the pad 620 of the chip 60. In some arrangements, the conductive wire 42 is completely received within the through hole 10T of the substrate 10.
[0075] Reference Figure 2I , Figure 2HThe structure described in Figure 1A can be flipped such that the substrate 10 can serve as a support carrier for the structure to undergo subsequent operations, and the conductive wire 42 can be received within the through-hole 10T and protected by the substrate 10. Next, the conductive wire 40 can be provided or formed above the surface 201 of the substrate 20 to connect the circuit layer 210 to the pad 610 of the chip 60, and an adhesive material can be provided to encapsulate the connecting element 90 between the substrate 10 and the substrate 20. In some arrangements, the adhesive material can flow into the gap G2 between the sidewall (e.g., sidewall 205) of the through-hole 20T and the chip 60. In some arrangements, the adhesive material can further flow downward to cover a portion of the sidewall 105 of the through-hole 10T. Next, a curing operation can be performed to cure the adhesive material to form the adhesive layer 30. Thus, the
[0076] Figure 3A and Figure 3B illustrate the various stages of an exemplary method for manufacturing the encapsulation structure 1B according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0077] Referring to Figure 3A , operations similar to those described in Figures 2A to 2H can be performed to form a structure similar to that described in Figure 2H . After the conductive wire 42 is provided or formed on the surface 102 of the substrate 10 to connect the circuit layer 130 to the pad 620 of the chip 60, as described in Figure 3A , an adhesive material can be provided to encapsulate the connecting element 90 between the substrate 10 and the substrate 20. In some arrangements, the adhesive material can flow downward into the gap G2 between the sidewall (e.g., sidewall 205) of the through-hole 20T and the chip 60. Next, a curing operation can be performed to cure the adhesive material to form the adhesive layer 30. Since the curing operation is performed while the substrate 10 is stacked above the adhesive material, the adhesive material does not flow to cover a portion of the sidewall 105 of the through-hole 10T.
[0078] Referring to Figure 3B , Figure 3A the structure described in Figure 1B can be flipped, and the conductive wire 40 can be provided or formed above the surface 201 of the substrate 20 to connect the circuit layer 210 to the pad 610 of the chip 60. Thus, the
