Abstract

A package includes a plurality of dies, a wall structure, an encapsulant, and a redistribution structure. The wall structure surrounds at least one of the dies. The encapsulant encapsulates the dies and the wall structure. A first portion of the encapsulant penetrates through the wall structure. The redistribution structure is disposed on the encapsulant and is electrically connected to the dies and the wall structure.

Claims (44)

1. A package, comprising:

a plurality of dies;

a wall structure surrounding at least one of the plurality of dies;

an encapsulant encapsulating the plurality of dies and the wall structure, wherein a first portion of the encapsulant penetrates through the wall structure; and

a redistribution structure disposed on the encapsulant, wherein the redistribution structure is electrically connected to the plurality of dies and the wall structure.

2. The package according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the wall structure comprises copper, stainless steel, solder, gold, NiFe, NiFeCr, an alloy thereof, or a combination thereof.

3. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the encapsulant is directly in contact with at least a portion of a bottom surface of the wall structure.

4. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the encapsulant comprises semi-cylindrical column, cylindrical column, or polygonal column.

5. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the encapsulant is spaced apart from a top surface and a bottom surface of the wall structure.

6. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the wall structure has an inner surface facing the at least one of the plurality of dies and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface, the encapsulant further comprises a second portion contacting the inner surface and a third portion contacting the outer surface, and the second portion of the encapsulant is connected to the third portion of the encapsulate through the first portion of the encapsulant.

7. The package according to claim 1 , further comprising a lid over the encapsulant opposite to the redistribution structure, wherein the lid is connected to the wall structure.

8. The package according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of conductive structures embedded in the encapsulant; and

a plurality of conductive patches over the encapsulant and the plurality of conductive structures, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of conductive patches is electrically connected to the plurality of conductive structures.

9. A package, comprising:

a plurality of dies;

a wall structure surrounding at least one of the plurality of dies, wherein the wall structure comprises a framed portion and a staggered portion connected to the framed portion;

an encapsulant encapsulating the plurality of dies and the wall structure, wherein a first portion of the encapsulant penetrates through the staggered portion; and

a redistribution structure disposed on the encapsulant, wherein the redistribution structure is electrically connected to the plurality of dies and the wall structure.

10. The package according to claim 9 , wherein a material of the wall structure comprises copper, stainless steel, solder, gold, NiFe, NiFeCr, an alloy thereof, or a combination thereof.

11. The package according to claim 9 , wherein the encapsulant further comprises a second portion located inside of the framed portion and a third portion located outside of the framed portion, and the second portion of the encapsulant is connected to the third portion of the encapsulant through the first portion of the encapsulant.

12. The package according to claim 9 , wherein the staggered portion comprises a plurality of body portions and a plurality of bridge portions connecting adjacent body portions, the plurality of body portions is parallel to each other and the plurality of bridge portions is perpendicular to the plurality of body portions.

13. The package according to claim 12 , wherein the first portion of the encapsulant is located between the plurality of body portions, and at least a portion of the first portion is located underneath the plurality of bridge portions.

14. The package according to claim 9 , further comprising a lid over the encapsulant opposite to the redistribution structure, wherein the lid is connected to the wall structure.

15. The package according to claim 9 , further comprising:

a plurality of conductive structures embedded in the encapsulant; and

a plurality of conductive patches over the encapsulant and the plurality of conductive structures, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of conductive patches is electrically connected to the plurality of conductive structures.

16. A manufacturing method of a package, comprising:

providing a carrier;

forming a wall structure over the carrier through a three-dimensional printing process, wherein the wall structure comprises at least one through channel communicating an inner surface and an outer surface of the wall structure;

placing a die on the carrier, wherein the inner surface of the wall structure faces the die;

applying an encapsulation material over the carrier and filling the encapsulation material into the at least one through channel to form an encapsulant; and

forming a redistribution structure on the encapsulant, wherein the redistribution structure is electrically connected to the die.

17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the step of forming the wall structure over the carrier comprises:

forming a seed material layer over the carrier;

depositing a precursor powder layer over the seed material layer;

sintering a portion of the precursor powder layer by a laser beam; and

removing an un-sintered portion of the precursor powder layer and the seed material layer underneath the un-sintered portion of the precursor powder layer to form the wall structure.

18. The method according to claim 16 , further comprising:

forming a lid over the encapsulant opposite to the redistribution structure, wherein the lid is connected to the wall structure.

19. The method according to claim 16 , further comprising:

forming a plurality of conductive structures over the carrier, wherein the plurality of conductive structures is formed to locate between the die and the wall structure; and

forming a plurality of conductive patches over the encapsulant and the plurality of conductive structures, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of conductive patches is electrically connected to the plurality of conductive structures.

20. The method according to claim 19 , wherein the wall structure and the plurality of conductive structures are simultaneously formed.
