  • Publication number: 20240071776
    Abstract: A chip packaging structure and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The chip package structure includes a conductive substrate, a dam and a metal shielding layer. The conductive substrate includes a substrate, vias and electrodes. The substrate has first and second board surfaces opposite to each other. The vias penetrate through the first board surface and the second board surface, and a part of the vias is disposed in a first die-bonding region on which a chip is to be arranged. The electrodes extend from the first board surface to the second board surface through the vias. The dam is formed on the first board surface to surround the first die-bonding region, and the dam has a height higher than that of the chip. The metal shielding layer covers the dam and a part of the first board surface that do not overlap with the electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20240071767
    Abstract: A method includes removing a dummy gate stack to form a trench between gate spacers, depositing a gate dielectric extending into the trench, and performing a first treatment process on the gate dielectric. The first treatment process is performed using a fluorine-containing gas. A first drive-in process is then performed to drive fluorine in the fluorine-containing gas into the gate dielectric. The method further includes performing a second treatment process on the gate dielectric, wherein the second treatment process is performed using the fluorine-containing gas, and performing a second drive-in process to drive fluorine in the fluorine-containing gas into the gate dielectric. After the second drive-in process, conductive layers are formed to fill the trench.
