Electronic package and fabrication method thereof
An electronic package is provided and includes at least one protective structure positioned between a first electronic element and a second electronic element on a carrier for reducing stresses generated inside the first electronic element and the second electronic element when a filling material is formed on the carrier, encapsulates the protective structure and comes into contact with the first electronic element and the second electronic element, thereby preventing cracking of the first electronic element and the second electronic element and improving the reliability of the electronic package.
1. An electronic package, comprising:
a carrier;
a first electronic element and a second electronic element intervally disposed on the carrier with a space formed between the first electronic element and the second electronic element;
a protective structure disposed on the carrier and positioned between the first electronic element and the second electronic element; and
a filling material formed on the carrier and in the space and encapsulating the protective structure.
2. The electronic package of claim 1 , wherein the first electronic element and the second electronic element are electrically connected to the carrier.
3. The electronic package of claim 1 , wherein the protective structure is a metal structure.
4. The electronic package of claim 1 , wherein the protective structure is in a form of a mesh or a plurality of blocks.
5. The electronic package of claim 1 , wherein the protective structure has at least one hollow portion exposing the carrier.
6. The electronic package of claim 1 , wherein the carrier has a plurality of conductive pads electrically connected to at least one of the first electronic element and the second electronic element, and a height of the conductive pads relative to a surface of the carrier is greater than a height of the protective structure relative to the surface of the carrier.
7. The electronic package of claim 1 , wherein the carrier is defined with a chip mounting region and a peripheral region surrounding the chip mounting region, such that the first electronic element and the second electronic element are disposed in the chip mounting region and the protective structure is further disposed on the peripheral region.
8. The electronic package of claim 7 , wherein a layout area of the protective structure is greater than a vertical projection area of at least one of the first electronic element and the second electronic element on the carrier.
9. The electronic package of claim 1 , further comprising an encapsulant formed on the carrier for encapsulating the first electronic element and the second electronic element.
10. The electronic package of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first electronic element and the second electronic element are exposed from the encapsulant.
