Abstract

A package substrate is provided. The package substrate includes a base layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a plurality of through holes penetrating the base layer, a first metal layer disposed on the first surface, and a second metal layer disposed on the second surface. The first metal layer includes a closed-loop trench. A part of the second metal layer is electrically connected to the first metal layer via the through holes. The through holes are positioned at an inner part the closed-loop trench.

Claims (42)

a second metal layer disposed on the second surface comprising a plurality of bottom pads arranged separately, wherein the bottom pads are electrically connected to the upper pads via the through holes respectively;

wherein the through holes are positioned under the upper pads and the encircling portion of the first metal layer is electrically floating.

2. The package substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the second metal layer further comprises:

a heat dissipation region comprising a plurality of heat dissipation pads separated by a plurality of trenches.

3. The package substrate according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the closed-loop trench is from 80 to 300 μm.

4. The package substrate according to claim 1 , wherein a depth of the closed-loop trench is from 40 to 80 μm.

5. The package substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the base layer comprises a ceramic material.

6. The package substrate according to claim 1 , further comprising a plating layer formed on the first metal layer and the second metal layer, wherein the plating layer is formed of gold or silver.

7. The package substrate according to claim 2 , wherein the heat dissipation pads are electrically floating.

8. The package substrate according to claim 2 , wherein the bottom pads of the second metal layer are divided into an anode region and a cathode region separated from and surrounding the heat dissipation region.

9. A package structure, comprising:

a package substrate, comprising:

a base layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;

a plurality of through holes penetrating through the base layer;

a first metal layer disposed on the first surface and comprising an encircling portion and a plurality of upper pads arranged separately, wherein the encircling portion surrounds the upper pads to form a closed-loop trench between the encircling portion and the upper pads, and at least one gap between the upper pads intercommunicates with the closed-loop trench; and

a second metal layer disposed on the second surface comprising a plurality of bottom pads arranged separately, wherein the bottom pads are electrically connected to the upper pads via the through holes respectively, and the encircling portion of the first metal layer is electrically floating; and

at least one chip disposed on the upper pads and electrically connected thereto; and

an encapsulant layer disposed on the package substrate and covering the chip and at least a portion of the upper pads, wherein the encapsulant layer do not extend beyond an outer wall of the closed-loop trench.

10. The package structure according to claim 9 , wherein the second metal layer further comprising:

a heat dissipation region corresponding to the chip, comprising a plurality of heat dissipation pads separated by a plurality of trenches.

11. The package structure according to claim 10 , wherein the bottom pads of the second metal layer are divided into an anode region and a cathode region separated from and surrounding the heat dissipation region.

12. The package structure according to claim 9 , wherein the chip comprises a flip chip.

14. The package structure according to claim 9 , wherein a distance between the closed-loop trench and the chip is from 500 to 2000 μm.

15. The package structure according to claim 9 , wherein the encapsulant layer comprises a resin material mixed with phosphor powder.

16. The package structure according to claim 9 , wherein the package substrate further comprises:

a plating layer formed on the first metal layer and the second metal layer;

wherein the plating layer is formed of gold or silver.

17. The package structure according to claim 10 , wherein the heat dissipation pads are electrically floating.

18. A package structure, comprising:

a package substrate, comprising:

a base layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;

a plurality of through holes penetrating the base layer;

a first metal layer disposed on the first surface and comprising a closed-loop trench; and

a second metal layer disposed on the second surface, wherein a part of the second metal layer is electrically connected to the first metal layer via the through holes; and

a chipset and an encapsulant layer disposed on the first metal layer and positioned at an inner part of the closed-loop trench,

wherein the second metal layer further comprising a heat dissipation region corresponding to the chipset, and the heat dissipation region is formed of a plurality of trenches arranged in an array of pads,

wherein the second metal layer further comprises an anode region and a cathode region separated from the heat dissipation region, wherein each of a distance between the anode region and the cathode region, a distance between the anode region and the heat dissipation region, and a distance between the cathode region and the heat dissipation region is at least 400 μm.
