  • Publication number: 20240170326
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes at least the following steps. A sacrificial substrate is provided. An etch stop layer is formed on the sacrificial substrate. A portion of the etch stop layer is oxidized to form an oxide layer between the sacrificial substrate and the remaining etch stop layer. A capping layer is formed on the remaining etch stop layer. A device layer is formed on the capping layer. A first etching process is performed to remove the sacrificial substrate. A second etching process is performed to remove the oxide layer. A third etching process is performed to remove the remaining etch stop layer. A power rail is formed on the capping layer opposite to the device layer.

  • Publication number: 20240088307
    Abstract: A semiconductor package is provided. The semiconductor package includes a heat dissipation substrate including a first conductive through-via embedded therein; a sensor die disposed on the heat dissipation substrate; an insulating encapsulant laterally encapsulating the sensor die; a second conductive through-via penetrating through the insulating encapsulant; and a first redistribution structure and a second redistribution structure disposed on opposite sides of the heat dissipation substrate. The second conductive through-via is in contact with the first conductive through-via. The sensor die is located between the second redistribution structure and the heat dissipation substrate. The second redistribution structure has a window allowing a sensing region of the sensor die receiving light. The first redistribution structure is electrically connected to the sensor die through the first conductive through-via, the second conductive through-via and the second redistribution structure.

  • Patent number: 11929318
    Abstract: A package structure includes a thermal dissipation structure, a first encapsulant, a die, a through integrated fan-out via (TIV), a second encapsulant, and a redistribution layer (RDL) structure. The thermal dissipation structure includes a substrate and a first conductive pad disposed over the substrate. The first encapsulant laterally encapsulates the thermal dissipation structure. The die is disposed on the thermal dissipation structure. The TIV lands on the first conductive pad of the thermal dissipation structure and is laterally aside the die. The second encapsulant laterally encapsulates the die and the TIV. The RDL structure is disposed on the die and the second encapsulant.
