  • Publication number: 20200135453
    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a substrate and a redistribution structure. The substrate has at least one contact. The redistribution structure is disposed on the substrate and electrically connected to the at least one contact, wherein the redistribution structure includes a plurality of redistribution layers. Each of the redistribution layers include a seed layer, a conductive material layer and a dielectric material layer. The conductive material layer is disposed on the seed layer. The dielectric material layer is surrounding the conductive material layer and the seed layer. At least one of the redistribution layers include an anti-reflective layer disposed in between the seed layer and the conductive material layer.

  • Publication number: 20200135543
    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing redistribution circuit structures are disclosed and one of the methods includes the following steps. A seed layer is formed over a die and an encapsulant encapsulating the die. A photoresist material is formed over the seed layer. The photoresist material is exposed through a phase shift mask to an I-line wavelength within an I-line stepper using a numerical aperture equal to or less than 0.18. The photoresist material is developed to form a photoresist layer including photoresist patterns and openings therebetween. A conductive material is formed in the openings. The photoresist patterns are removed to form conductive patterns. By using the conductive patterns as a mask, the seed layer is partially removed, to form seed layer patterns under the conductive patterns, wherein redistribution conductive patterns include the seed layer patterns and the conductive patterns respectively.

  • Publication number: 20200105711
    Abstract: A device includes a molding compound encapsulating a first integrated circuit die and a second integrated circuit die; a dielectric layer over the molding compound, the first integrated circuit die, and the second integrated circuit die; and a metallization pattern over the dielectric layer and electrically connecting the first integrated circuit die to the second integrated circuit die. The metallization pattern comprises a plurality of conductive lines. Each of the plurality of conductive lines extends continuously from a first region of the metallization pattern through a second region of the metallization pattern to a third region of the metallization pattern; and has a same type of manufacturing anomaly in the second region of the metallization pattern.

  • Publication number: 20200006086
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and method of making a conductive connector is provided. In an embodiment an opening is formed within a photoresist by adjusting the center point of an in-focus area during the exposure process. Once the photoresist has been developed to form an opening, an after development baking process is utilized to reshape the opening. Once reshaped, a conductive material is formed into the opening to take on the shape of the opening.
