Abstract:
The present invention proposes a testing method for testing a semiconductor element, including: providing a semiconductor element having a first surface on which a first testing area is formed and a second surface on which a second testing surface is formed; placing the semiconductor element on a plane surface, allowing any one of the first surface and the second surface to be in no parallel to the plane surface; and electrically connecting a testing apparatus to the first testing area and the second testing area of the semiconductor element. The semiconductor element is placed in a non-horizontal manner on the testing apparatus, which makes contact with the two opposing surfaces of the semiconductor element in a horizontal way without directly exerting a downward force against the surface of the semiconductor element, thereby preventing the semiconductor element from damages.
Abstract:
A connection structure for a substrate is provided. The substrate has a plurality of connection pads and an insulation protection layer with the connection pads being exposed therefrom. The connection structure includes a metallic layer formed on an exposed surface of each of the connection pads and extending to the insulation protection layer, and a plurality of conductive bumps disposed on the metallic layer and spaced apart from one another at a distance less than or equal to 80 μm, each of conductive bumps having a width less than a width of each of the connection pads. Since the metallic layer covers the exposed surfaces of the connection pads completely, a colloid material will not flow to a surface of the connection pads during a subsequent underfilling process of a flip-chip process. Therefore, the colloid material will not be peeled off from the connection pads.
Abstract:
A multi-chip package structure is provided, including a substrate having a grounding structure; two semiconductor elements disposed on and electrically connected to the substrate; an encapsulant formed on the substrate and encapsulating semiconductor elements, wherein the encapsulant has a plurality of round holes formed between the semiconductor elements; and an electromagnetic shielding structure formed in each of the round holes and connected to the grounding structure to achieve electromagnetic shielding effects. A method for forming the multi-chip package is also provided.

Abstract:
A semiconductor element is provided, including: a substrate having a plurality of first conductive through holes and second conductive through holes formed therein; a redistribution layer formed on the substrate and having a plurality of conductive pads electrically connected to the first conductive through holes; and a metal layer formed on the redistribution layer and electrically connected to the second conductive through holes. The metal layer further has a plurality of openings for the conductive pads of the redistribution layer to be exposed from the openings without electrically connecting the first metal layer. As such, the metal layer and the second conductive through holes form a shielding structure that can prevent passage of electromagnetic waves into or out of the redistribution layer or side surfaces of the semiconductor element, thereby effectively shield electromagnetic interference.

A balanced-to-unbalanced converter (balun) is provided, including: a converting circuit having a first processing circuit including a first inductor and a first capacitor connected in series, a second processing circuit including a second capacitor and a second inductor connected in series, the second capacitor being electrically connected to the first inductor, and two balanced output ends connected to the first processing circuit and the second processing circuit, respectively; and a preprocessing circuit connected to the converting circuit and including an unbalanced input end for converting real impedance at the unbalanced input end into complex impedance at the balanced output ends. Accordingly, the balun satisfies the need of the wireless communication chips by providing differential signals with complex impedance. This is done by employing the preprocessing circuit in conjunction with the converting circuit to convert an unbalanced signal with real impedance into a balanced signal with complex impedance.

Abstract:
An electrical interconnection structure includes: a signal transmission structure having a first through silicon via (TSV) and signal circuits connected to two opposite ends of the first TSV, respectively; and a grounding structure having a second TSV and grounding layers connected to two opposite ends of the second TSV, respectively. The grounding layers surround the signal circuits along the pathways thereof such that the ends of the first TSV are surrounded by the grounding layers with gaps therebetween. By changing the gaps between the grounding layers and the ends of the first TSV, the capacitance between the grounding layers and the signal circuits is adjusted so as to regulate the impedance therebetween.
