Abstract

The present disclosure provides a package structure. The package structure includes a base, a device disposed on the base, a lid disposed over the base and the device and spaced apart from the device, and a first metal component disposed between the device and the lid, wherein the first metal component contacts the device and the lid. The present disclosure also provides a method for forming a package structure.

Claims (42)

1. A package structure, comprising:

a base;

a device disposed on the base and having a top surface;

a lid disposed over the base and the device, spaced apart from the device, and having an interior surface facing to the top surface;

a first metal component disposed between the top surface and the interior surface, and free of surrounding material, wherein a surface of the first metal component is tapered from the top surface towards the interior surface, or tapered from the interior surface towards the top surface, an upper surface of the first metal component is separated from the interior surface, a lower surface of the first metal component contacts the top surface; and

a second metal component disposed between the device and the lid, wherein the second metal component contacts the interior surface and the top surface.

2. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between the top surface of the device and the interior surface of the lid facing the top surface of the device is between about 5 um and about 500 um, and the device has a substantially flat bottom surface entirely contacting the base.

3. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between the top surface and the interior surface is between about 5 micrometer (μm) and about 500 μm.

4. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second metal component is free of surrounding material.

5. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal component is in same or different configuration from the second metal component.

6. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein a height of the second metal component is different from a height of the first metal component.

7. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal component and the second metal component are disposed on the device.

8. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the base is substantially same as a width of the lid.

9. The package structure according to claim 4 , wherein the first metal component and the second metal component are disposed on an interconnect structure on or within the lid.

10. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second metal component vertically extends between the device and the lid.

11. The package structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a filling material surrounding the first metal component or the second metal component.

12. A package structure, comprising:

a base;

a first device disposed on the base;

a second device disposed on the first device;

a lid disposed over the base, the first device and the second device, and spaced apart from the first device and the second device;

a first metal component disposed between the first device and the lid,

wherein the first metal component contacts the lid and the first device, is free of surrounding material and vertically extends between the first device and the lid, and

the first metal component has a height substantially greater than a thickness of the second device; and

a second metal component disposed on the second device, wherein the second metal component is separated from the lid.

13. The package structure according to claim 12 , wherein the first metal component is disposed on the first device, and the first device has a bottom surface contacting the base.

14. The package structure according to claim 12 , wherein the height of the first metal component is substantially equal to a total of the thickness of the second device and a gap between the second device and the lid.

15. The package structure according to claim 12 , wherein the second metal component is tapered towards the lid.

16. The package structure according to claim 12 , wherein the second metal component is configured as a stud, and the first metal component is configured as a pillar.

17. The package structure according to claim 15 , wherein the second metal component is disposed on an interior surface of the lid facing to the second device, and separated from the second device.

18. The package structure according to claim 12 , wherein a width of the first device is substantially greater than a width of the second device.

19. A method, comprising:

providing a base and a device disposed on the base;

disposing a first metal component over the device, wherein the first metal component is free of surrounding material;

disposing a second metal component over the device and adjacent to the first metal component;

disposing a lid over the base and the device to contact the first metal component, wherein

an upper surface of the first metal component is separated from an interior surface of the lid,

a lower surface of the first metal component contacts a top surface of the device,

and the second metal component contacts the interior surface and the top surface; and

deriving a distance based on a first height of the second metal component, wherein

a surface of the first metal component tapers from a top surface of the device towards an interior surface of the lid, or tapers from the interior surface towards the top surface.

20. The method according to claim 19 , wherein the disposing of the lid includes controlling the distance between the top surface of the device and the interior surface of the lid facing the top surface of the device.
