Package structure and fabrication method thereof

Abstract

A method for fabricating a package structure is provided, including the steps of: sequentially forming a metal layer and a dielectric layer on a first carrier, wherein the dielectric layer has a plurality of openings exposing portions of the metal layer; disposing an electronic element on the dielectric layer via an active surface thereof and mounting a plurality of conductive elements of metal balls on the exposed portions of the metal layer; forming an encapsulant on the dielectric layer for encapsulating the electronic element and the conductive elements; removing the first carrier; and patterning the metal layer into first circuits and forming second circuits on the dielectric layer, wherein the second circuits are electrically connected to the electronic element and the first circuits. The invention dispenses with the conventional laser ablation process so as to simplify the fabrication process, save the fabrication cost and increase the product reliability.
