  • Publication number: 20210257287
    Abstract: A chip package includes a circuit board, a chip and an underfill. The circuit board includes a substrate, first circuit lines and second circuit lines. Each of the first circuit lines includes an inner lead and a first line fragment that are disposed on a chip mounting area and an underfill covering area of the substrate, respectively. The second circuit lines are disposed on the chip mounting area and not located between the adjacent inner leads so as to form a wider space between the adjacent first line fragments. The wider space enables the underfill to flow to between the circuit board and the chip and prevents air bubbles from being embedded in the underfill filled between the circuit board and the chip.
