Abstract

A package structure includes a substrate, a die, an adhesive layer, a dam structure, and an encapsulant. The die is disposed on the substrate. The adhesive layer is disposed between the substrate and the die. The adhesive layer has a curved surface. The dam structure is disposed on the substrate and surrounded by the adhesive layer. The encapsulant encapsulates the die.

Claims (37)

1. A package structure, comprising:

a substrate;

a die disposed on the substrate;

an adhesive layer disposed between the substrate and the die, wherein the adhesive layer has a curved surface;

a dam structure disposed on the substrate and surrounded by the adhesive layer; and

an encapsulant encapsulating the die.

2. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer comprises a liquid-type die attach film (DAF) or a liquid-type film over wire (FOW).

3. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer is free of filler.

4. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer has a sinking portion, and a surface of the sinking portion is the curved surface.

5. The package structure according to claim 4 , wherein a maximum thickness of the adhesive layer is smaller than or substantially equal to a thickness of the dam structure.

6. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer has an overflow portion partially covers sidewalls of the die and a top surface of the dam structure, and a surface of the overflow portion is the curved surface.

7. The package structure according to claim 6 , wherein a maximum thickness of the adhesive layer is greater than a thickness of the dam structure.

8. A package structure, comprising:

a first die;

a second die and a third die disposed side by side over the first die, wherein the third die has a through hole exposing the first die;

an adhesive layer sandwiched between the third die and the first die, wherein the adhesive layer comprises a concave portion located in the through hole;

a dam structure disposed on the first die and located in the through hole; and

an encapsulant encapsulating the second die and the third die.

9. The package structure according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a redistribution structure located on the first die opposite to the second die and the third die; and

a plurality of conductive terminals over the redistribution structure.

10. The package structure according to claim 8 , further comprising a plurality of connectors disposed between the second die and the first die, and the second die is electrically connected to the first die through the plurality of connectors.

11. The package structure according to claim 8 , further comprising a dielectric material partially covering sidewalls of the through hole.

12. The package structure according to claim 8 , wherein the third die is electrically floating.

13. The package structure according to claim 8 , wherein the concave portion partially covers sidewalls of the through hole and a top surface of the dam structure.

14. The package structure according to claim 8 , wherein the dam structure comprises metal.

15. A package structure, comprising:

a substrate;

a die disposed on the substrate, wherein the die is electrically floating;

an adhesive layer disposed between the substrate and the die, wherein the adhesive layer has a curved surface;

a dam structure disposed on the substrate and surrounded by the adhesive layer; and

an encapsulant encapsulating the die.

16. The package structure according to claim 15 , wherein the adhesive layer is free of filler.

17. The package structure according to claim 15 , wherein the adhesive layer has a sinking portion, and a surface of the sinking portion is the curved surface.

18. The package structure according to claim 17 , wherein a maximum thickness of the adhesive layer is smaller than or substantially equal to a thickness of the dam structure.

19. The package structure according to claim 15 , wherein the adhesive layer has an overflow portion partially covers sidewalls of the die and a top surface of the dam structure, and a surface of the overflow portion is the curved surface.

20. The package structure according to claim 19 , wherein a maximum thickness of the adhesive layer is greater than a thickness of the dam structure.
