  • Publication number: 20230369152
    Abstract: A package includes a die, first conductive structures, second conductive structures, and an encapsulant. The die has a rear surface. The first conductive structures and the second conductive structures surround the die. The first conductive structures include cylindrical columns and the second conductive structures include elliptical columns. At least one of the second conductive structures is closer to the die than the first conductive structures. The encapsulant encapsulates the die, the first conductive structures, and the second conductive structures.

  • Patent number: 11756849
    Abstract: A package includes a die, first conductive structures, second conductive structures, an encapsulant, and a redistribution structure. The die has an active surface and a rear surface opposite to the active surface. The first conductive structures and the second conductive structures surround the die. A shape of the first conductive structures is different a shape of the second conductive structures. The second conductive structures include elliptical columns having straight sidewalls. A distance between the first conductive structure that is closest to the die and the die is greater than a distance between the second conductive structure that is closest to the die and the die. The encapsulant encapsulates the die, the first conductive structures, and the second conductive structures. The redistribution structure is over the die and the encapsulant. The redistribution structure is electrically connected to the die, the first conductive structures, and the second conductive structures.

  • Publication number: 20230275047
    Abstract: A method includes forming a first polymer layer over a plurality of metal pads, and patterning the first polymer layer to forming a plurality of openings in the first polymer layer. The plurality of metal pads are exposed through the plurality of openings. A plurality of conductive vias are formed in the plurality of openings. A plurality of conductive pads are formed over and contacting the plurality of conductive vias. A conductive pad in the plurality of conductive pads is laterally shifted from a conductive via directly underlying, and in physical contact with, the conductive pad. A second polymer layer is formed to cover and in physical contact with the plurality of conductive pads.
