Description of Related ArtFor the application in high resolution electronic devices, there is increasing demand for high output pin count of an integrated circuits (IC) chip. Among kinds of the package technology, the flip-chip bonding technology is commonly used for a high output pin count IC chip because the flip-chip bonding technology utilizes the solder/gold/Cu pillar bumps arranged on the active surface of the chip, which facilitates to achieve a large number of contacts and high contact density on a chip package. In addition, compared with the wire bonding technology, the solder/gold/Cu pillar bumps can provide shorter transmission paths between the chip and the carrier substrate so as to present a desirable performance.
However, restricted by the manufacturing limits and the manufacturing cost, the contact density of the IC chip is not easy to be modified. For having further higher output pin count with a compact package, there are still rooms for improving the chip package technology.

The first package unit 120A includes a first semiconductor element 122A, such as a die with corresponding circuit layout, and a plurality of first pads 124A for providing the electric transmission path of the first semiconductor element 122A and the second package unit 120B includes a second semiconductor element 122B, such as a die with corresponding circuit layout, and a plurality of second pads 124B for providing the electric transmission path of the second semiconductor element 122B. Specifically, the first package unit 120A and the second package unit 120B are encapsulated and singulated together to be a single chip body 120.
The first pads 124A and the second pads 124B respectively connect to the bumps 130 so that the first semiconductor element 122A and the second semiconductor element 122B may be electrically connected to the wires 112 through the first and the second pads 124A and 124B and the bumps 130.

In the process of manufacturing the chip body 220, a plurality of package units are arranged in an array and integrally encapsulated in a mother package while two adjacent package units are spaced from each other by a predetermined cutting region. Subsequently, the mother package is cut along the predetermined cutting region to form individual chip body, which is known as a singulation process. The first seal ring SR1 and the second seal ring SR2 in the embodiment may define the first package unit 220A and the second package unit 220B and may protect the components in each package unit. Specifically, the region CR between the first seal ring SR1 and the second seal ring SR2 serves as the cutting region of the mother package. In some embodiments, a width WSR of each of the first seal ring SR1 and the second seal ring SR2 may be around 2 μm-30 μm, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In some alternative embodiments, the seal ring may be omitted and the package units may be determined by the arrangement of the pads or other mark. Usually, in the singulation process, each package unit is singulated from the mother package to form a single body, but in the embodiment, the chip boy 220 is singulated from the mother package by conjoining two or more package units in one single body. Namely, the chip body 220 in the embodiment is embedded with the region CR corresponding to the predetermined cutting region in the mother package. If the chip body 220 is cut along the region CR, two independent chip packages may be obtained.
In the embodiment, a length L220 of the chip body 220 may be in a range of 28 mm to 66 mm. The first seal ring SR1 and the second seal ring SR2 are spaced from each other by a distance d1, which may be similar to the width of the predetermined cutting region of the mother package. Usually, the width of the predetermined cutting region of the mother package is not desired to be large because the larger the predetermined cutting region the more the waste region, which reduces the gross dies. Therefore, the distance d1 may range from 50 μm to 200 μm which would not excessively enlarge the whole volume of the chip body 220. In other words, the chip body 220 may have a compact volume. A distance d2 from one of the first pads 224A closest to the second seal ring SR2 to one of the second pads 224B closest to the first seal ring SR1 may be in a range of 55 μm to 1000 μm. A distance d3 from one of the first pads 220A farthest from the second seal ring SR2 to one of the second pads 224B farthest from the first seal ring SR1 may be in a range of 27 mm to 65 mm. The length L220, the distance d1, the distance d2 and the distance d3 may be determined based on the circuit design of each package unit and not limit to the above number ranges.
In addition, the chip body 220 may further include a peripheral circuit 226 positioned in the region CR between the first seal ring SR1 and the second seal ring SR2. The peripheral circuit 226 may serve as the testing circuit in the mother package and may fail to be enabled after the chip body 220 is singulated. In some embodiments, the peripheral circuit 226 may be covered and/or shielded by a dielectric material so that the peripheral circuit 226 may not be electrically connected to the wires on the substrate 210.
The first package unit 220A and the second package unit 220B are manufactured under the same process and may have identical circuit layout and functions. For example, in the chip body 220, the first pads 224A of the first package unit 220A are arranged in a ring path and so as the second pads 224B of the second package unit 220B. In some alternative embodiments, the pads in each package unit may be arranged in an array. In the first package unit 220A, the ones of the first pads 224A connecting to the input wires 212A may be first input pads IPA, the ones of the first pads 224A connecting to the output wires 212B may be first output pads OPA, and the first input pads IPA are concentrated at a side of the chip body 220 while the first output pads OPA are concentrated at an opposites side of the chip body 220. In addition, no first output pad OPA is interposed between adjacent two of the first input pads IPA and no first input pads IPA is interposed between adjacent two of the first output pads OPA. Similarly, the second pads 224B may be divided into the second input pads IPB connecting to the input wires 212A and the second output pads OPB connecting to the output wires 212B, and the second input pads IPB and the second output pads OPB are concentrated in respective regions.
The chip body 220 including the first package unit 220A and the second package unit 220B encapsulated integrally may provide more input/output channels, compared with the package body including one single package unit. Accordingly, the flip chip package 200 may achieve high output design and facilitate the application of high resolution electronic devices while the volume of the flip chip package 200 is compact. For example, in the case that each of the first package unit 220A and the second package unit 220B provide N output channels, the flip chip package 200 having the chip boy 220 may provide 2N output channels, wherein N is an integer. In addition, the first package unit 220A and the second package unit 220B are integral in the single chip body 220, so that only one bonding process is required to bond the first package unit 220A and the second package unit 220B on the substrate 210, which reduces the manufacturing time span and simplifies the manufacturing process.
Specifically, in the embodiment, all of the input wires 312A extend from a first side S1 of the chip body 220 to the bonding region B1, some of the output wires 312B extend from the first side S1 of the chip body 220 to the bonding region B2, and the other of the output wires 312B extend from the opposite, second side S2 of the chip body 220 to the bonding region B2. The ones of the first pads 224A in the first package unit 220A connecting to the input wires 312A are first input pads IPA and the ones of the first pads 224A in the first package unit 220A connecting to the output wires 312B are first output pads OPA. In the embodiment, some of the first output pads OPA are arranged at the first side S1 of the chip body 220 as the first input pads IPA. In addition, some of the first pads 224A positioned between the first input pads IPA and the second seal ring SR2 are first dummy pads DPA. In some embodiment, some of the first dummy pads DPA and some of the first output pads OPA are located at a side of first package unit 220A adjacent to the bonding region B1 and the first input pads IPA are arranged between said first dummy pads DPA adjacent to the bonding region B1 and said first output pads OPA adjacent to the bonding region B1.
Similar to the first package unit 220A, the second pads 224B of the second package unit 220B may be divided into the second input pads IPB connecting to the input wires 312A, the second output pads OPB connecting to the output wires 312B, and the second dummy pads DPB positioned between the second input pads IPB and the first seal ring SR1. Some of the second output pads OPB are positioned at the first side S1 of the chip body 220 as the second input pads IPB, and the second input pads IPB are positioned between the second output pads OPB positioned at the first side S1 and the second dummy pads DPB.
The chip body 220 may be designed as that if the chip body 220 is cut along the region between the first seal ring SR1 and the second seal ring SR2, the first dummy pads DPA and the second dummy pads DPB serve as output pads. However, the chip body 220 is continuous between the first seal ring SR1 and the second seal ring SR2 while the input wires 312A and the output wires 312B are prescribed to extend to the first bonding region B1 and the second bonding region B2 located at opposite sides of the chip body 220, respectively. No output wire 312B extends to reach the first dummy pads DPA and the second dummy pads DPB. Accordingly, the first dummy pads DPA and the second dummy pads DPB are neither connected to the input wire 312A nor connected to the output wire 312B. In some embodiments, the first dummy pads DPA and the second dummy pads DPB may be electrically grounded or floated. In some embodiments, the first dummy pads DPA and the second dummy pads DPB may not be connected to a bump connecting to the substrate 310. In the embodiment, some of the pads located at the first side S1 of the chip body 220 are output pads so that the amount of the output pads may increase to achieve a high output design though there are the first dummy pads DPA and the second dummy pads DPB.
In the embodiment, the substrate 210 includes a plurality of input wires 212A and a plurality of output wires 212B.

A distance d5 from one of the first pads 624A farthest from the second pads 624B to one of the second pads 624B farthest from the first pads 624A may be in a range of 28 mm to 66 mm.
Each of the input wires 212A has one end overlapping the chip body 620 and the other end positioned at a first bonding region B1 of the substrate 210, each of the output wires 212B has one end overlapping the chip body 620 and the other end positioned at a second bonding region B2 of the substrate 210 and the first bonding region B1 and the second bonding region B2 are located at opposite sides of the chip body 620. The first pads 624A may include a plurality of first input pads IPA, the second pads 624B may include a plurality of second input pads IPB, the first input pads IPA are respectively connected to a portion of the input wires 212A, and the second input pads IPB are respectively connected to the other portion of the input wires 212A. In some embodiments, one or more of the first pads 624A positioned more adjacent to the second pads 624B than the first input pads IPA connecting to the input wires 212A may be dummy pad(s), similar to the first dummy pads DPA in
In addition, the chip body 620 may further include a peripheral circuit 626 positioned at a region between the first pads 624A and the second pads 624B. In some embodiments, one of the first pads 624A and one of the second pads 624B may be connected through an interconnecting bump similar to the interconnecting bump 432 shown in
