  • Patent number: 11232957
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a chip packaging method and a chip package structure. The chip packaging method comprises: forming wafer conductive traces on a wafer active surface of a wafer; forming a protective layer having material properties on the wafer conductive traces; cutting the wafer to obtain a die and adhering the die onto a carrier; forming a molding layer encapsulating the die and having material properties; stripping off the carrier; and forming a panel-level conductive layer and a dielectric layer. The chip packaging method reduces or eliminates warpage in the panel packaging process, lowers a requirement on an accuracy of aligning the die on the panel, reduces a difficulty in the panel packaging process, and makes the packaged chip structure more durable, and thus the present disclosure is especially suitable for large panel-level package and package of a thin chip with a large electric flux.

  • Publication number: 20210343549
    Abstract: A wafer-level buffer layer is disclosed. The wafer-level buffer layer is configured to prevent cracking and chipping the back-end-of-line (BEOL) dielectric during wafer singulation process. The wafer-level buffer layer is a composite wafer-level buffer layer with a vibration damping agent. The vibration damping agent includes a polymer-based base layer with fillers. The damping agent absorbs or dampens the vibration of the saw blade during dicing to prevent cracking and chipping of the BEOL dielectric.
