  • Publication number: 20240128232
    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a first semiconductor die, an encapsulant, a high-modulus dielectric layer and a redistribution structure. The first semiconductor die includes a conductive post in a protective layer. The encapsulant encapsulates the first semiconductor die, wherein the encapsulant is made of a first material. The high-modulus dielectric layer extends on the encapsulant and the protective layer, wherein the high-modulus dielectric layer is made of a second material. The redistribution structure extends on the high-modulus dielectric layer, wherein the redistribution structure includes a redistribution dielectric layer, and the redistribution dielectric layer is made of a third material. The protective layer is made of a fourth material, and a ratio of a Young's modulus of the second material to a Young's modulus of the fourth material is at least 1.5.

  • Publication number: 20240071888
    Abstract: A package structure including a redistribution circuit structure, a wiring substrate, first conductive terminals, an insulating encapsulation, and a semiconductor device is provided. The redistribution circuit structure includes stacked dielectric layers, redistribution wirings and first conductive pads. The first conductive pads are disposed on a surface of an outermost dielectric layer among the stacked dielectric layers, the first conductive pads are electrically connected to outermost redistribution pads among the redistribution wirings by via openings of the outermost dielectric layer, and a first lateral dimension of the via openings is greater than a half of a second lateral dimension of the outermost redistribution pads. The wiring substrate includes second conductive pads. The first conductive terminals are disposed between the first conductive pads and the second conductive pads. The insulating encapsulation is disposed on the surface of the redistribution circuit structure.

  • Patent number: 10873799
    Abstract: A headband adjustment structure includes a rotary adjusting assembly, a wearing unit having an adjustable accommodation space, a cable management module located between the wearing unit and the rotary adjusting assembly for carrying a cable, an adjustment gear set linkably coupled to the cable management module, and a driving rotation shaft set passing through the wearing unit and the cable management module, and linkably coupled to the wearing unit and the adjustment gear set, and coaxially connected to the rotary adjusting assembly. When the rotary adjusting assembly rotates the driving rotation shaft set, the driving rotation shaft set synchronously moves the wearing unit to adjust the adjustable accommodation space, and moves the cable management module through the adjustment gear set. The amount of the movement of the cable management module is different from that of the wearing unit.
