Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to a semiconductor device, and more particularly to an electronic package. Background Art
[0002] With the booming electronics industry, wireless communication technology has been widely adopted in a wide variety of consumer electronics products to facilitate the reception and transmission of various wireless signals. To meet the design requirements of these consumer electronics, the manufacturing and design of wireless communication modules are being developed towards lightweight, thin, short, and compact designs. Patch antennas, in particular, are widely used in wireless communication modules for electronic products such as cell phones due to their compact size, light weight, and ease of manufacture.
[0003] Figure 1 FIG is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of an existing wireless communication module 1. Figure 1 As shown, the wireless communication module 1 includes: a substrate 10, a plurality of electronic components 11 disposed on the substrate 10, an antenna structure 12, and packaging material 13. The substrate 10 is a rectangular circuit board. The electronic components 11, such as radio frequency chips and / or millimeter wave chips, are disposed on the substrate 10 and electrically connected to the substrate 10. The antenna structure 12 is planar and includes an antenna body 120 and a conductive wire 121. The antenna body 120 is electrically connected to the electronic components 11 via the conductive wire 121. The packaging material 13 covers the electronic components 11 and a portion of the conductive wire 121.
[0004] If a millimeter wave chip for 5G mmWave signals is used as the electronic component 11, it usually needs to be placed on a substrate 10 made of a dielectric layer with low dielectric constant / dielectric loss factor (low DK / Df) to reduce signal / energy loss. However, other RF chips have no restrictions on the dielectric material required for the substrate 10.
[0005] On the other hand, if a radio frequency chip is used as the electronic component 11, it needs to be placed on a substrate 10 with fine line specifications so that the electrical contacts of the radio frequency chip can be completely wired to the other side of the substrate 10, but a millimeter wave chip does not need to use a substrate 10 with fine line specifications.
[0006] However, in the existing wireless communication module 1, when using chips of different specifications (RF chip, millimeter wave chip) as the electronic component 11, it is necessary to consider substrates 10 of different specifications. Therefore, it is impossible to configure electronic components 11 of different specifications on the existing single-specification substrate 10, that is, it is impossible to configure RF chips and millimeter wave chips at the same time, and thus it is impossible to meet multi-functional requirements.
[0007] Furthermore, if one wishes to simultaneously configure millimeter wave chips and RF chips for 5G mmWave signals, a special substrate 10 must be specially manufactured that meets the specifications of fine lines and low DK / Df dielectric layers, which will significantly increase its production cost, making it difficult to reduce the overall cost of the terminal product.
[0008] Therefore, how to overcome the various problems of the above-mentioned prior art has become a topic that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content
[0009] In view of the various deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the present application provides an electronic package, comprising: a supporting structure having a wiring layer, defining a first side and a second side opposite to each other, and forming at least one groove connecting the first side and the second side; a circuit structure, arranged in the groove and having a circuit layer; a first electronic component, arranged on the circuit structure corresponding to the first side and electrically connected to the circuit layer; a second electronic component, arranged on the first side of the supporting structure and electrically connected to the wiring layer; a conductive structure, bridging the supporting structure and the circuit structure and electrically connecting the wiring layer and the circuit layer; and a packaging layer, covering the first electronic component.
[0010] The present application also provides a method for manufacturing an electronic package, comprising: providing a supporting structure having a wiring layer, which defines a first side and a second side opposite to each other, and forms at least one groove connecting the first side and the second side; placing at least one circuit structure having a circuit layer in the groove; arranging a first electronic component on the circuit structure corresponding to the first side, and electrically connecting the first electronic component to the circuit layer; arranging a second electronic component on the first side of the supporting structure, and electrically connecting the second electronic component to the wiring layer; bridging the supporting structure and the circuit structure through a conductive structure, so that the conductive structure electrically connects the wiring layer and the circuit layer; and covering the first electronic component with a packaging layer.
[0011] In the aforementioned electronic package and its manufacturing method, the packaging layer extends into the groove to cover the circuit structure.
[0012] In the aforementioned electronic package and its manufacturing method, the packaging layer also covers the conductive structure.
[0013] In the aforementioned electronic package and method of manufacturing the same, the carrier structure is formed with a plurality of recesses, each of which houses the circuit structure. This allows the first side of the carrier structure to be configured with a plurality of first electronic components and a plurality of conductive structures. For example, a plurality of encapsulation layers are formed on the first side of the carrier structure to respectively encapsulate each first electronic component. Alternatively, the encapsulation layer encapsulates a plurality of first electronic components.
[0014] In the aforementioned electronic package and its manufacturing method, the packaging layer also covers the second electronic component.
[0015] In the aforementioned electronic package and its manufacturing method, the packaging layer also extends to the side surface of the supporting structure.
[0016] In the aforementioned electronic package and its manufacturing method, the conductive structure is disposed on the first side or the second side of the supporting structure.
[0017] In the aforementioned electronic package and its manufacturing method, the conductive structure is an interposer, a bonding wire, an active component, a passive component or a combination thereof.
[0018] From the above, it can be seen that in the electronic package and its manufacturing method of the present application, the circuit structure is mainly placed in the groove of the supporting structure to form substrate areas of different specifications. Therefore, compared with the existing technology, the electronic package of the present application can configure the first electronic component and the second electronic component according to their specifications on the required substrate area. When the electronic package needs to use chips of different specifications, the chips of different specifications can be simultaneously configured as the first electronic component and the second electronic component on the circuit structure and the supporting structure, thereby meeting multi-functional requirements.
[0019] Furthermore, the circuit structure and the supporting structure can be manufactured using existing technologies and equipment, so there is no need to add new processes and new materials or purchase new special-purpose machines. Therefore, compared with the existing technology, the electronic package of this application will not incur additional cost expenditure during production, which is conducive to reducing the production cost of the electronic package, thereby effectively reducing the overall cost of the terminal product.

[0060] Furthermore, the circuit structure 29 includes at least one insulating layer 290 and a circuit layer 291 bonded to the insulating layer 290, such as a redistribution layer (RDL). For example, the insulating layer 290 is made of a dielectric material such as polybenzoxazole (PBO), polyimide (PI), prepreg (PP), or other materials.
[0061] It should be understood that the supporting structure 20 may also be other substrates for supporting chips, such as a board with metal routing, and is not limited to the above.
