  • Patent number: 10553533
    Abstract: An integrated fan-out (InFO) package includes a first redistribution structure, a die, an encapsulant, a plurality of first through interlayer vias (TIV), a second redistribution structure, an insulating layer, a supporting layer, and a plurality of conductive patches. The die is disposed on the first redistribution structure. The encapsulant encapsulates the die. The first TIVs are embedded in the encapsulant. The second redistribution structure is disposed on the die, the first TIVs, and the encapsulant. The first redistribution structure is electrically connected to the second redistribution structure through the first TIVs. The insulating layer is disposed on the first redistribution structure opposite to the die and includes a plurality of air gaps. The supporting layer is over the insulating layer. The conductive patches are over the supporting layer. Locations of the conductive patches correspond to locations of the air gaps of the insulating layer.

  • Patent number: 10510693
    Abstract: A semiconductor package structure including an encapsulation body, an RFIC chip, a first antenna structure, and a second antenna structure is provided. The RFIC chip may be embedded in the encapsulation body. The first antenna structure may be disposed at a lateral side of the RFIC chip, electrically connected to the RFIC chip, and include a first conductor layer and a plurality of first patches opposite to the first conductor layer. The second antenna structure may be stacked on the RFIC chip, electrically connected to the RFIC chip, and include a second conductor layer and a plurality of second patches opposite to the second conductor layer. The first patches and the second patches are located at a surface of the encapsulation body. A first distance between the first conductor layer and the first patches is different from a second distance between the second conductor layer and the second patches.
