  • Patent number: 9337063
    Abstract: A wafer level package includes a semiconductor die bonded on a supporting wafer. The semiconductor die has at least a step recess at its substrate. An underfill layer is formed between the semiconductor die and the supporting wafer. Moreover, the height of the underfill layer is limited by the step recess. During a fabrication process of the wafer level package, the step recess helps to reduce the stress on the wafer level package.
