  • Patent number: 12237354
    Abstract: Chip packages and methods for forming the same are provided. The method includes providing a substrate having upper and lower surfaces, and having a chip region and a scribe-line region surrounding the chip region. The substrate has a dielectric layer on its upper surface. A masking layer is formed over the substrate to cover the dielectric layer. The masking layer has a first opening exposing the dielectric layer and extending in the extending direction of the scribe-line region to surround the chip region. An etching process is performed on the dielectric layer directly below the first opening, to form a second opening that is in the dielectric layer directly below the first opening.
