Abstract

An electronic structure includes a packaging structure, a circuit pattern structure, an underfill and a protrusion structure. The circuit pattern structure is disposed over the packaging structure. A gap is between the circuit pattern structure and the packaging structure. The underfill is disposed in the gap. The protrusion structure is disposed in the gap, and is configured to facilitate the distributing of the underfill in the gap.

Claims (17)

1. An electronic structure, comprising:

a packaging structure including an electronic component and an encapsulant encapsulating the electronic component;

a circuit pattern structure disposed over the packaging structure, wherein a gap is between the circuit pattern structure and the packaging structure;

an underfill disposed in the gap;

a protrusion structure disposed in the gap and over the electronic component, wherein the protrusion structure includes a plurality of protrusions protruding from the circuit pattern structure, and arranged in an array from a top view; and

a plurality of solder materials disposed between the circuit pattern structure and the packaging structure, and spaced apart from the protrusion structure, wherein a pitch of the plurality of protrusions is less than a pitch of the plurality of solder materials.

2. The electronic structure of claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of solder materials is squashed.

3. The electronic structure of claim 2 , wherein the packaging structure further includes a conductive pillar encapsulated by the encapsulant, wherein the one of the plurality of solder materials is disposed on the conductive pillar, and exposes a region of a top surface of the conductive pillar.

4. The electronic structure of claim 1 , wherein a width of a space between adjacent two of the plurality of protrusions is greater than a diameter of a filler of the underfill.

5. The electronic structure of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion structure protrudes from a bottom surface of the circuit pattern structure facing a top surface of the packaging structure, wherein a bottom surface of the protrusion structure is closer to the top surface of the packaging structure than to the bottom surface of the circuit pattern structure in a direction perpendicular to the top surface of the packaging structure.

6. The electronic structure of claim 5 , wherein a diameter of a filler of the underfill is less than a distance between the bottom surface of the protrusion structure and the top surface of the packaging structure in the direction perpendicular to the top surface of the packaging structure.

7. An electronic structure, comprising:

a packaging structure including an electronic component and an encapsulant encapsulating the electronic component;

a circuit pattern structure disposed over the packaging structure, wherein a gap is between the circuit pattern structure and the packaging structure;

an underfill disposed in the gap; and

a protrusion structure disposed in the gap and over the electronic component, wherein the protrusion structure includes a plurality of protrusions arranged in a first array and a second array spaced apart from the first array from a top view, wherein a number of rows in the first array is different from a number of rows in the second array, and a number of columns in the first array is different from a number of columns in the second array.

8. The electronic structure of claim 7 , wherein the protrusion structure is located in a region, and a width of a space between adjacent two of the plurality of protrusions in the first array increases gradually toward a periphery of the region.
