Abstract

A package has a first region and a second region. The package includes a first die, a second die, an encapsulant, and an inductor. The second die is stacked on and bonded to the first die. The encapsulant is aside the second die. At least a portion of the encapsulant is located in the second region. The inductor is located in the second region. A metal density in the first region is greater than a metal density in the second region.

Claims (41)

1. A package having a first region and a second region, comprising:

a first die;

a second die stacked on and bonded to the first die;

an encapsulant aside the second die, wherein at least a portion of the encapsulant is located in the second region; and

an inductor located in the second region, wherein a metal density in the first region is greater than a metal density in the second region.

2. The package of claim 1 , wherein the first die comprises:

a semiconductor substrate;

an interconnection structure over the semiconductor substrate;

a passivation layer over the interconnection structure;

a bonding layer over the passivation layer, wherein the bonding layer comprises bonding pads located in the first region and dummy bonding pads located in the second region, and a pattern density of the bonding pads is greater than a pattern density of the dummy bonding pads; and

bonding vias penetrating through the passivation layer, wherein the bonding vias electrically connect the interconnection structure and the bonding pads.

3. The package of claim 2 , wherein the inductor is embedded in the interconnection structure.

4. The package of claim 2 , wherein the dummy bonding pads are electrically floating.

5. The package of claim 2 , wherein a ratio of the pattern density of the dummy bonding pads to the pattern density of the bonding pads ranges from 1:2.7 to 1:27.

6. The package of claim 2 , wherein a spacing between two adjacent bonding pads is smaller than a spacing between two adjacent dummy bonding pads.

7. The package of claim 2 , wherein a width of each bonding pad is greater than a width of each dummy bonding pad.

8. The package of claim 1 , further comprising a redistribution structure over the second die and the encapsulant, wherein the inductor is embedded in the redistribution structure.

9. A package, comprising:

a first die, comprising bonding pads and dummy bonding pads, wherein a pattern density of the bonding pads is greater than a pattern density of the dummy bonding pads;

a second die bonded to the first die, wherein the second die covers the bonding pads;

an encapsulant disposed on the first die, wherein the encapsulant laterally encapsulates the second die and covers the dummy bonding pads; and

an inductor over the dummy bonding pads.

10. The package of claim 9 , wherein the dummy bonding pads are electrically floating.

11. The package of claim 9 , wherein the inductor is embedded in the first die.

12. The package of claim 9 , further comprising a redistribution structure over the second die and the encapsulant, wherein the inductor is embedded in the redistribution structure.

13. The package of claim 9 , wherein the encapsulant is directly in contact with the dummy bonding pads and the inductor.

14. The package of claim 9 , wherein a spacing between two adjacent bonding pads is smaller than a spacing between two adjacent dummy bonding pads.

15. The package of claim 9 , wherein a width of each bonding pad is greater than a width of each dummy bonding pad.

16. A manufacturing method of a package, comprising:

providing a wafer substrate having a first region and a second region, comprising:

forming first bonding pads having a first pattern density in the first region; and

forming dummy bonding pads having a second pattern density in the second region, wherein the first pattern density is greater than the second pattern density;

placing a die on the first region of the wafer substrate, wherein the die comprises second bonding pads hybrid bonded to the first bonding pads;

encapsulating the die by an encapsulant; and

forming an inductor over the second region.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein at least a portion of the encapsulant is formed to be located over the second region.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the inductor is formed to be in direct contact with the portion of the encapsulant located over the second region.

19. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

forming a redistribution structure over the die and the encapsulant, wherein the inductor is formed in the redistribution structure; and

forming conductive terminals over the redistribution structure.

20. The method of claim 16 , wherein the dummy bonding pads are formed to be electrically floating.
