SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18485291 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a device that includes a molding compound, through vias, a seal ring structure, and a protection layer. The through vias are embedded in the molding compound, while the seal ring structure surrounds the through vias in a top view. The protection layer covers the seal ring and extends towards the molding compound in a cross-sectional view.
- The device includes a molding compound, through vias, a seal ring structure, and a protection layer.
