  • Generally, there is no more space available for passive components to be added to the PoP structure 1, and the electrical performance of the PoP structure 1 cannot be further optimized Besides, passive components are generally higher than the first semiconductor chip 11 and the second semiconductor chips 12. As such, if a passive component is added, the height of the PoP structure 1 will be greatly increased. For example, if the passive component is disposed on the first substrate 10, the height of the solder posts 13 will be increased; otherwise, if the passive component is disposed on the second substrate 14, the height of the second encapsulant 17 will be increased. Consequently, the PoP structure 1 cannot meet the miniaturization requirement.
  • Therefore, there is a need to provide an electronic package structure and a fabrication method thereof so as to overcome the above-described drawbacks.

  • FIGS. 2A to 2C are schematic cross-sectional views showing a method for fabricating an electronic package structure 2 according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • Referring to FIG. 2A, a first carrier 20 is provided. The first carrier 20 has a first side 20 a, a second side 20 b opposite to the first side 20 a, and at least an opening 201 communicating the first side 20 a and the second side 20 b. At least a first electronic component 21 and a plurality of conductive elements 23 such as solder balls are disposed on the first side 20 a of the first carrier 20, and a plurality of first electronic components 21′, 21″ are disposed on the second side 20 b of the first carrier 20.

In an embodiment, the first electronic component 21 is an active component, the first electronic component 21′ is a package, and the first electronic component 21″ is a passive component. In an embodiment, the first electronic components 21, 21′ are disposed in a flip-chip manner on and electrically connected to the circuit layers 200 through a plurality of conductive bumps 210. In an embodiment, the conductive bumps 210 are made of such as a solder material. In another embodiment, the first electronic components 21, 21′ are electrically connected to the circuit layers 200 through bonding wires (not shown). In another embodiment, the first electronic component 21″ is in direct contact with the circuit layers 200.
  • A second carrier 24 having at least a second electronic component 22 disposed thereon is provided. In an embodiment, the second carrier 24 is a lead frame having a plurality of conductive pads 240, 240′ that are separated from one another. The second electronic component 22 is bonded to the conductive pads 240′ so as to be electrically connected to the second carrier 24. In another embodiment, the second carrier 24 is a carrier carrying chips. In an embodiment, the second carrier 24 is a core circuit structure, a coreless circuit structure, a wafer, or a carrier board with a metal layout (such as LTCC or ferrite).
  • The second carrier 24 is optionally disposed on a supporting member 25 such as a tape. In an embodiment, the second electronic component 22 is a package such as a chip scale package, an active component such as a semiconductor chip, a passive component, such as a resistor, a capacitor or an inductor, or a combination thereof. In an embodiment, the second electronic component 22 is a passive component.
  • Referring to FIG. 2B, the first carrier 20 is bonded to the conductive pads 240 of the second carrier 24 through the conductive elements 23. As such, the circuit layers 200 of the first carrier 20 are electrically connected to the second carrier 24 and the second electronic component 22 is received in the opening 201 of the first carrier 20.
  • In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 2B′, the first carrier 20 is stacked on the second carrier 24 first and then the second electronic component 22 is disposed on the conductive pads 240′ of the second carrier 24 and received in the opening 201 of the first carrier 20.
  • Referring to FIG. 2C, a first encapsulant 26 is formed on the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 24 (or the supporting member 25) and filled in the opening 201 so as to encapsulate the first electronic components 21, 21′, 21″, the second electronic component 22 and the conductive elements 23. Thereafter, the supporting member 25 is removed.
  • In an embodiment, the first encapsulant 26 is made of polyimide, a dry film, an epoxy resin, or a molding compound. The first encapsulant 26 has a first surface 26 a and a second surface 26 b opposite to the first surface 26 a. The second carrier 24 is embedded in the first surface 26 a of the first encapsulant 26, and the conductive pads 240 are exposed from the first surface 26 a of the first encapsulant 26. In an embodiment, surfaces of the conductive pads 240 are flush with the first surface 26 a of the first encapsulant 26. As such, a solder material such as solder balls (not shown) can further be formed on the exposed surfaces of the conductive pads 240 for bonding with an electronic device such as a circuit board.
  • Further, referring to FIG. 2C′, the conductive elements 23′ can be ring-shaped circuit boards or strip-shaped circuit boards that are bonded to the circuit layers 200 and the conductive pads 240 through a solder material 23 a, thus increasing the gap between the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 24 and providing sufficient space between the first and second carrier 20, 24 for receiving the first electronic component 21. In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 2C″, the conductive elements 23″ are copper core balls or (post-shaped, block-shaped or pin-shaped) metal elements of copper or gold.
  • Again referring to FIG. 2C′, the second electronic component 22 is electrically connected to the circuit layers 200 of the first carrier 20 of the first carrier 20 through conductors 220 such as bonding wires or clip bars. In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 5A, the conductors 220 electrically connect the circuit layers 200 of the first carrier 20 and circuits 540 of the second carrier 24.

  • Again referring to FIG. 2C″, the second carrier 24′ further has at least a board 241 that can be separated from or connected to the conductive pads 240, 240′ and grounded to provide an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effect.
  • Therefore, since the second electronic component 22 (such as a passive component) disposed on the second carrier 24 is received in the opening 201 of the first carrier 20, the present disclosure reduces the height of the electronic package structure 2 and meets the miniaturization requirement.
  • Further, the second carrier 24′ provides an EMI shielding effect. In addition, if the second carrier 24, 24′ is a lead frame or a metal board, the heat dissipating efficiency of the electronic package structure 2 is improved.
  • Conventionally, active components and passive components are disposed on the same substrate and electrically connected through circuits of the substrate. By contrast, according to the present disclosure the second electronic component 22 (passive component) and the first electronic component 21 (active component) of the electronic package structure 2 are disposed on different carriers and cannot be directly electrically connected through circuits of the same carrier. Through the design of the conductors 220, the present disclosure reduces the wiring area of the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 24 (for example, the I/O count) and reduces AC and DC impedances. Referring to FIG. 2C, if the first electronic component 21 is electrically through the conductive elements 23, the conductive pads 240, and circuits (not shown) of the second carrier 24 to the conductive pads 240′ and the second electronic component 22, the circuits between the conductive pads 240, 240′ will be longer than the circuits 540 of FIG. 5A.

  • In an embodiment, the second encapsulant 47 is made of polyimide, a dry film, an epoxy resin or a molding compound. The first encapsulant 26 and the second encapsulant 47 can be made of the same or different materials.

  • In an embodiment, the opening 201 is positioned within an edge 20 c of the first carrier 20.
  • In an embodiment, the opening 201 is positioned on a side of the first carrier 20.
  • In an embodiment, the opening 201 is positioned on a corner of the first carrier 20.

  • In an embodiment, at least one of the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 24, 24′ is a circuit structure, a lead frame, a wafer, or a carrier board with a metal layout.
  • In an embodiment, the first electronic component 21 is positioned between the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 24.
  • In an embodiment, the second electronic component 22 is electrically connected to at least one of the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 24, 24′.
  • In an embodiment, the second electronic component 22 is electrically connected to the first carrier 20 through conductors 220.
  • In an embodiment, the second carrier 24′ has at least a board 241 served as an EMI shield.
  • In an embodiment, the electronic package structure 4 further has a second encapsulant 47 encapsulating the first electronic components 21′, 21″.
  • Therefore, by receiving the second electronic component such as a passive component in the opening of the first carrier, the present disclosure reduces the height of the electronic package structure so as to meet the miniaturization requirement.
  • Further, the second carrier provides an EMI shielding effect and improves the heat dissipating efficiency of the electronic package structure.
