A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die including an active surface and an electrical terminal on the active surface, and a redistribution circuitry disposed on the active surface of the semiconductor die and connected to the electrical terminal. A top surface of the redistribution circuitry includes a planar portion and a concave portion connected to the planar portion, the concave portion is directly over the electrical terminal, and a minimum distance measured from a lowest point of the concave portion to a virtual plane where the planar portion is located is equal to or smaller than 0.5 μm.

Semiconductor package and method of manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor package includes forming an encapsulated semiconductor device and forming a redistribution structure over the encapsulated semiconductor device, where the encapsulated semiconductor device includes a semiconductor device encapsulated by an encapsulating material. Forming the redistribution structure includes forming a first dielectric layer on the encapsulated semiconductor device, and forming a first redistribution circuit layer on the first dielectric layer by a plating process carried out at a current density of substantially 4˜6 amperes per square decimeter, where the first dielectric layer comprises a first via opening. An upper surface of the first redistribution circuit layer filling the first via opening is substantially coplanar with an upper surface of the rest of the first redistribution circuit layer.

A method includes forming a reconstructed wafer including encapsulating a device die in an encapsulant, forming a dielectric layer over the device die and the encapsulant, forming a plurality of redistribution lines extending into the dielectric layer to electrically couple to the device die, and forming a metal ring in a common process for forming the plurality of redistribution lines. The metal ring encircles the plurality of redistribution lines, and the metal ring extends into scribe lines of the reconstructed wafer. A die-saw process is performed along scribe lines of the reconstructed wafer to separate a package from the reconstructed wafer. The package includes the device die and at least a portion of the metal ring.

Air channel formation in packaging process

A redistribution structure includes a first dielectric layer and a first redistribution circuit layer. The first dielectric layer includes a first via opening. The first redistribution circuit layer is disposed on the first dielectric layer and includes a via portion filling the first via opening and a circuit portion connecting the via portion and extending over the first dielectric layer. A maximum vertical distance between an upper surface of the via portion and an upper surface of the circuit portion is substantially equal to or smaller than 0.5 &#x3bc;m.
