  • Publication number: 20090096077
    Abstract: A tenon-and-mortise packaging structure including a carrier and a chip is provided. The carrier has a top surface and a lower surface opposite to the top surface. The top surface forms at least one tenon projection, and the lower surface forms a mortise slot corresponding to the tenon projection in shape, size, and position, so that two carriers can be stacked on and jointed to each other by coupling the tenon projection to the corresponding mortise slot. The tenon projection and the mortise slot have conduction portions, respectively. When the tenon projection and the mortise slot are engaged with each other, the conduction portions are electrically connected with each other. At least one chip is embedded in the carrier. The chip has an active surface and a back side respectively and electrically connected with the top and the lower surfaces of the carrier.

  • Publication number: 20090051031
    Abstract: A package structure and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The package structure comprises a carrier, a chip, at least one wire, a molding compound, at least one first solder ball and at least one second solder ball. The carrier has a chip chamber passing through the first surface and the second surface. The chip is disposed in the chip chamber, and an active surface of the chip is coplanar with the first surface. During packaging, the first surface and the active surface are both tightly pasted on a carrier tape to facilitate the subsequent wire bonding and sealing process. Afterwards, the carrier tape is removed for exposing the active surface and the first surface, and the active surface of the chip is coplanar with the first surface of the carrier, hence simplifying the packaging process and reducing the thickness of the package structure.

  • Patent number: 7329900
    Abstract: A bonding strength test device suits to perform a bonding strength test for at least one solder ball that fixed on a substrate. The bonding strength test device includes a fixed base and an impact apparatus. The impact apparatus has a first end and a second end corresponding to the first end. While an impact is applied to the first end of the impact apparatus, the impact apparatus moves downward, and the second end of the impact apparatus hits the solder ball on the substrate for performing the bonding strength test. Besides, the fixed base is used for limiting the downward movement of the impact apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20050224936
    Abstract: A chip package includes a package substrate, a chip and a molding compound. The package substrate has a carrying surface and a back surface opposite to the carrying surface. The chip is mounted on the carrying surface and electrically connected to the package substrate. Furthermore, the molding compound is applied over the carrying surface to cover the chip and a part of the package substrate. The outline of a juncture between the molding compound and the package substrate is a smooth closed curve so that thermal stress is uniformly distributed over the juncture to prevent stress concentration. The reliability of the package structure is thereby improved.
