  • Publication number: 20180294308
    Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor packaging method and semiconductor device based on a molding process. In the packaging method, first, at least a portion of a compensation part is kept on at least a portion of a bonding region formed between a first adjoining surface of a semiconductor element and a second adjoining surface of a packaging component, to form a semi-finished product of a semiconductor device; then, during hardening of the packaging component, the compensation part is caused to undergo different degrees of deformation at different positions to compensate for a difference between a magnitude of deformation of the packaging component and a magnitude of deformation of the semiconductor element, so as to package the semiconductor element to form the semiconductor device. By means of the method, undesirable phenomena such as cracking and deformation of the surface of the semiconductor element can be avoided.
