PACKAGE, PACKAGE STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PACKAGE STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18169177 titled 'PACKAGE, PACKAGE STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PACKAGE STRUCTURE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a package structure that includes a die, through vias, dummy structures, an encapsulant, and a redistribution structure. The through vias surround the die, while the dummy structures are placed between the die and the through vias, adjacent to at least one corner of the die. The encapsulant covers the die, through vias, and dummy structures, while the redistribution structure is connected to the die and through vias.
- Package structure with die, through vias, dummy structures, encapsulant, and redistribution structure
