[Figure 4]FIG. 10 is a plan view showing a chip package according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] The present invention will be described below through embodiments of the invention, but the following embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention according to the claims. Furthermore, not all of the combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solution of the invention.
[0013] 1 and 2, a chip package 100 includes a substrate 110, a chip 120, and a heat sink 130. The substrate 110 includes a carrier 111, a circuit layer 112, and a solder resist layer 113. The material of the carrier 111 may be polyimide or other flexible material. The circuit layer 112 is mounted on the carrier 111, and the solder resist layer 113 covers the circuit layer 112. The chip 120 is mounted on the substrate 110 and electrically connected to the circuit layer 112, and the heat sink 130 covers the substrate 110 and the chip 120.
[0014] 1 and 2, the circuit layer 112 has a plurality of circuit lines L, and each circuit line L has an inner lead L1, a first conductive portion L2, a second conductive portion L3, and an outer lead L4. The first conductive portion L2 is located between the inner lead L1 and the second conductive portion L3, and the second conductive portion L3 is located between the first conductive portion L2 and the outer lead L4. In this embodiment, each circuit line L further has a third conductive portion L5, which is located between the second conductive portion L3 and the outer lead L4.
[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the solder resist layer 113 has a first opening 113a, a first shielding portion 113b, and at least one second opening 113c. The first shielding portion 113b is located between the first opening 113a and the second opening 113c. In this embodiment, the first shielding portion 113b surrounds the first opening 113a, and the second opening 113c surrounds the first opening 113a and the first shielding portion 113b. In another embodiment, the second opening 113c is located on a side of the first opening 113a (see FIG. 4). When the solder resist layer 113 has multiple second openings 113c, these second openings 113c do not have to be connected to each other and may be located on different sides of the first opening 113a.
[0016] 1 and 2, the inner lead L1 is exposed from the first opening 113a, the first shielding portion 113b covers the first conductive portion L2, and the second opening 113c exposes the second conductive portion L3. In this embodiment, the solder resist layer 113 further includes a second shielding portion 113d, and the second opening 113c is located between the first shielding portion 113b and the second shielding portion 113d. The second shielding portion 113d covers the third conductive portion L5 but does not cover the outer lead L4. The outer lead L4 is used for electrical connection to an external electronic element (not shown, e.g., a panel).
[0017] 1 and 2, the chip 120 is installed in the first opening 113a and electrically connected to the inner lead L1. Preferably, a filler 140 is filled between the chip 120 and the substrate 110. The heat sink 130 has a heat dissipation layer 131 and an insulating adhesive layer 132. The heat dissipation layer 131 is attached to the second conductive portion L3 exposed from the second opening 113c by the insulating adhesive layer 132. Therefore, heat generated during operation of the chip 120 is conducted to the heat sink 130 attached to the second conductive portion L3 by the inner lead L1, the first conductive portion L2, and the second conductive portion L3. The increased area of the heat sink 130 in contact with the heat source (e.g., the chip 120 and the circuit layer 112) improves the thermal conduction effect of the chip package 100. In this embodiment, the heat dissipation layer 131 is attached to the first shielding portion 113b and the second shielding portion 113d by an insulating adhesive layer 132, and warping occurs at the edges of the first shielding portion 113b or the second shielding portion 113d located on both sides of the second opening 113c, preventing the solder resist layer 113 from peeling off.
[0018] 1, 3, and 4, the area of the second opening 113c is smaller than the area of the heat sink 130, allowing the heat sink 130 to completely cover the second opening 113c. The heat dissipation layer 131 is attached to the first shielding portion 113b and the second shielding portion 113d by an insulating adhesive layer 132, preventing moisture from entering the second opening 113c. The area and shape of the second opening 113c differ between FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, and can be adjusted based on different heat dissipation requirements. The shape of the second opening 113c may be rectangular, triangular, or trapezoidal.
[0019] 2, along the direction Y, there is a first thickness D1 between the first conductive portion L2 and the heat dissipation layer 131, and there is a second thickness D2 between the second conductive portion L3 and the heat dissipation layer 131. In this embodiment, the second thickness D2 is thinner than the first thickness D1. When the chip package 100 is applied to a curved electronic product (such as a curved panel), the second thickness D2 being thinner than the first thickness D1 increases the flexibility of the chip package 100, thereby reducing the shear stress generated between the chip 120 and the inner leads L1 and preventing the chip 120 from detaching from the inner leads L1, resulting in a disconnection.
[0020] 2, in this embodiment, heat dissipation layer 131 is attached to chip 120 and filler 140 by insulating adhesive layer 132. In other embodiments, heat dissipation layer 131 is attached directly to chip 120.
[0021] The present embodiment has been described above, but the above-described embodiment merely illustrates some of the application examples of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention to the specific configurations of the above-described embodiment.
