Abstract

A chip package structure is provided. The chip package structure includes a wiring substrate. The chip package structure includes a first chip structure and a second chip structure over the wiring substrate. The first chip structure is spaced apart from the second chip structure by a gap. The chip package structure includes a ring structure over the wiring substrate. The ring structure has a first opening, the first chip structure and the second chip structure are in the first opening, the first opening has a first inner wall, the first inner wall has a first recess, and the gap extends toward the first recess.

Claims (34)

1. A chip package structure, comprising:

a wiring substrate;

a first chip structure and a second chip structure over the wiring substrate, wherein the first chip structure is spaced apart from the second chip structure by a gap; and

a ring structure over the wiring substrate, wherein the ring structure has a first opening, the first chip structure and the second chip structure are in the first opening, the first opening has a first inner wall, the first inner wall has a first recess, and the gap extends toward the first recess.

2. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ring structure has an outer ring and a first strip portion surrounded by the outer ring, the first strip portion has a first end and a second end connected to the outer ring, and the first recess is in the first strip portion.

3. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first recess passes through the first strip portion.

4. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ring structure has an upper portion and a lower portion, and the first recess is in the lower portion.

5. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the ring structure further comprises:

an adhesive layer between the upper portion and the lower portion.

6. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a redistribution structure over the wiring substrate, wherein the first chip structure and the second chip structure are over the redistribution structure; and

an underfill layer over the redistribution structure, wherein the underfill layer is in the gap and between the first chip structure and the redistribution structure and between the second chip structure and the redistribution structure.

7. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a first top surface of the underfill layer is substantially level with a second top surface of the first chip structure.

8. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner wall of the opening of the ring structure further has a second recess, and the gap is between the first recess and the second recess.

9. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

an adhesive layer between the wiring substrate and the ring structure.

10. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the adhesive layer has a second opening under the first opening, the second opening has a second inner wall, and the second inner wall has a second recess under the first recess.

11. A chip package structure, comprising:

a wiring substrate;

a first chip structure and a second chip structure over the wiring substrate, wherein the first chip structure is spaced apart from the second chip structure by a gap; and

a ring structure over the wiring substrate, wherein the ring structure surrounds the first chip structure and the second chip structure, the ring structure comprises a first thin portion and a first thick portion connected with each other, and the gap extends toward the first thin portion.

12. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the ring structure comprises a second thin portion and a second thick portion, the first thin portion is between and connected to the first thick portion and the second thick portion, and the second thin portion is between and connected to the first thick portion and the second thick portion.

13. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the gap is between the first thin portion and the second thin portion.

14. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the first thin portion is opposite to the second thin portion.

15. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 12 , wherein a first top surface of the first thin portion and a second top surface of the second thin portion are substantially level with each other.

16. A chip package structure, comprising:

a wiring substrate;

a first chip structure and a second chip structure over the wiring substrate, wherein the first chip structure is spaced apart from the second chip structure by a gap; and

a ring structure over the wiring substrate, wherein the ring structure surrounds the first chip structure and the second chip structure, a bottom surface of the ring structure has a first recess, and the gap extends toward the first recess.

17. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the bottom surface of the ring structure further has a second recess, and the gap is between the first recess and the second recess.

18. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the first recess does not pass through the ring structure.

19. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the first recess has a T-like shape.

20. The chip package structure as claimed in claim 16 , further comprising:

a lid over the first chip structure.
