    Abstract: A chip package structure includes a fan-out package containing at least one semiconductor die, an epoxy molding compound (EMC) die frame laterally surrounding the at least one semiconductor die, and a redistribution structure. The fan-out package has chamfer regions at which horizontal surfaces and vertical surfaces of the fan-out package are connected via angled surfaces that are not horizontal and not vertical. The chip package structure may include a package substrate that is attached to the fan-out package via an array of solder material portions, and an underfill material portion that laterally surrounds the array of solder material portions and contacts an entirety of the angled surfaces. The angled surfaces eliminate a sharp corner at which mechanical stress may be concentrated, and distribute local mechanical stress in the chamfer regions over a wide region to prevent cracks in the underfill material portion.
