Abstract

A package includes a first die, a second die, an encapsulant, and through insulating vias (TIV). The first die has a first bonding structure. The first bonding structure includes a first dielectric layer and first connectors embedded in the first dielectric layer. The second die has a second bonding structure. The second bonding structure includes a second dielectric layer and second connectors embedded in the second dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is hybrid bonded to the second dielectric layer. The first connectors are hybrid bonded to the second connectors. The encapsulant laterally encapsulates the second die. The TIVs penetrate through the encapsulant and are connected to the first bonding structure.
