  • Publication number: 20240096811
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a package structure and a method of manufacturing a package. The package structure includes a semiconductor die laterally encapsulated by an encapsulant, a redistribution structure and bumps. The redistribution structure is disposed on the semiconductor die and the encapsulant, and is electrically connected with the at least one semiconductor die. The bumps are disposed on the redistribution structure. The redistribution structure includes dielectric layers and metallic pattern layers sandwiched between the dielectric layers. The redistribution structure includes metallic pads on an outermost dielectric layer of the dielectric layers, and the outmost dielectric layer has undercut cavities beside the metallic pads.

  • Publication number: 20240071849
    Abstract: A semiconductor package including one or more dam structures and the method of forming are provided. A semiconductor package may include an interposer, a semiconductor die bonded to a first side of the interposer, an encapsulant on the first side of the interposer encircling the semiconductor die, a substrate bonded to the a second side of the interposer, an underfill between the interposer and the substrate, and one or more of dam structures on the substrate. The one or more dam structures may be disposed adjacent respective corners of the interposer and may be in direct contact with the underfill. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the one or more of dam structures may be smaller than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the underfill.
