  • Patent number: 10403567
    Abstract: A method for fabricating an electronic package is provided, which includes the steps of: providing an insulating layer having at least an electronic element embedded therein; forming at least a first via hole on one side of the insulating layer; forming a first conductor in the first via hole of the insulating layer; forming on the insulating layer a first circuit structure electrically connected to the electronic element and the first conductor; and forming a second via hole on the other side of the insulating layer, wherein the second via hole communicates with the first via hole. As such, the second via hole and the first via hole constitute a through hole. Since the through hole is fabricated through two steps, the aspect ratio (depth/width) of the through hole can be adjusted according to the practical need so as to improve the process yield.

  • Patent number: 9349705
    Abstract: A conductive bump structure used to be formed on a substrate having a plurality of bonding pads. The conductive bump structure includes a first metal layer formed on the bonding pads, a second metal layer formed on the first metal layer, and a third metal layer formed on the second metal layer. The second metal layer has a second melting point higher than a third melting point of the third metal layer. Therefore, a thermal compression bonding process is allowed to be performed to the third metal layer first so as to bond the substrate to another substrate, and then a reflow process can be performed to melt the second metal layer and the third metal layer into each other so as to form an alloy portion, thus avoiding cracking of the substrate.
