Abstract

A semiconductor package and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The semiconductor package includes at least one semiconductor die, an interposer, a molding compound and connectors. The interposer has a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and sidewalls connecting the first and second surfaces. The at least one semiconductor die is disposed on the first surface of interposer and electrically connected with the interposer. The molding compound is disposed over the interposer and laterally encapsulates the at least one semiconductor die. The molding compound laterally wraps around the interposer and the molding compound at least physically contacts a portion of the sidewalls of the interposer. The connectors are disposed on the second surface of the interposer, and are electrically connected with the at least one semiconductor die through the interposer.

Claims (29)

1. A semiconductor package, comprising:

an interposer having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and sidewalls connecting the first and second surfaces, wherein at least one sidewall of the sidewalls of the interposer is a stair-shaped sidewall, a partial inclined sidewall or a reverse stair-shaped sidewall;

at least one semiconductor die, disposed on the first surface of interposer and electrically connected with the interposer;

a molding compound, disposed over the interposer and laterally encapsulating the at least one semiconductor die, wherein the molding compound laterally wraps around the interposer and the molding compound at least physically contacts a portion of the sidewalls of the interposer; and

connectors, disposed on the second surface of the interposer, and electrically connected with the at least one semiconductor die through the interposer.

2. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , wherein the interposer includes through vias.

3. The semiconductor package of claim 2 , wherein the through vias are through semiconductor vias.

4. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sidewall of the sidewalls of the interposer is the stair-shaped sidewall, and the molding compound physically contacts an upper portion of the stair-shaped sidewall.

5. The semiconductor package of claim 4 , wherein the molding compound that physically contacts the upper portion of the stair-shaped sidewall has a bottom surface higher than the second surface of the interposer.

6. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sidewall of the sidewalls of the interposer is the partial inclined sidewall, and the partial inclined sidewall consists of a vertical sidewall extending from the first surface of the interposer and a slanted sidewall connected with the vertical sidewall and extending to the second surface of the interposer.

7. The semiconductor package of claim 6 , wherein the molding compound that physically contacts the vertical sidewall has a slanted bottom surface coplanar with the slanted sidewall.

8. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sidewall of the sidewalls of the interposer is the reverse stair-shaped sidewall, and the molding compound physically contacts a lower portion of the reverse stair-shaped sidewall.

9. The semiconductor package of claim 8 , wherein the molding compound further covers the second surface of the interposer.

10. The semiconductor package of claim 1 , further comprising an underfill filled between the at least one semiconductor die and the first surface of the interposer.

11. A semiconductor package, comprising:

an interposer having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and sidewalls connecting the first and second surfaces, wherein the interposer has a flange portion;

semiconductor dies, disposed on the first surface of interposer and electrically connected with the interposer;

a molding compound, disposed over the interposer and laterally encapsulating the semiconductor dies, wherein the molding compound laterally wraps around the interposer and a portion of the molding compound physically contacts the sidewalls of the interposer;

a circuit substrate, disposed below the interposer and electrically connected with the at least one die; and

connectors, disposed between the second surface of the interposer and the circuit substrate.

12. The semiconductor package of claim 11 , wherein the interposer includes through vias and a passivation layer on the second surface of the interposer.

13. The semiconductor package of claim 11 , wherein the portion of the molding compound is located directly on the flange portion and physically contacts an upper portion of the sidewalls of the interposer without covering sidewalls of the flange portion, and a bottom surface of the portion is higher than the second surface of the interposer.

14. The semiconductor package of claim 11 , wherein the portion of the molding compound is located directly on the flange portion and physically contacts a lower portion of the sidewalls of the interposer without covering sidewalls of the flange portion, and a bottom surface of the portion is levelled with the second surface of the interposer.

15. The semiconductor package of claim 11 , wherein the portion of the molding compound physically contacts a lower portion of the sidewalls of the interposer and the second surface of the interposer.

16. The semiconductor package of claim 12 , wherein the interposer includes a semiconductor material bulk substrate and the through vias are through semiconductor vias.

17. The semiconductor package of claim 16 , wherein the interposer further includes a redistribution structure on the semiconductor material bulk substrate.

18. The semiconductor package of claim 11 , further comprising an underfill filled between the semiconductor dies and the first surface of the interposer.

19. The semiconductor package of claim 11 , further comprising an underfill filled between the interposer, the circuit substrate and the connectors.

20. The semiconductor package of claim 19 , wherein the underfill physically contacts the molding compound.
