The carrier structure 20 is a circuit structure with a core layer or a coreless circuit structure. The carrier structure 20 has at least one dielectric layer and a circuit layer disposed on the dielectric layer, such as a fan-out type redistribution layer (RDL), and the outermost circuit layer has a plurality of electrical contact pads 201 and at least one external pad 202.
In an embodiment, the material for forming the circuit layer is copper, and the material for forming the dielectric layer is, for example, polybenzoxazole (PBO), polyimide (PI), prepreg (PP) and other dielectric materials.
It should be understood that the carrier structure 20 can also be other carriers for carrying chips, such as organic sheets, wafers, or other carriers with metal routing, but the present disclosure is not limited to as such.
Each of the electronic elements 21a, 21b, 29 is an active element, a passive element, or a combination of the active element and the passive element, where the active element is, for example, a semiconductor chip (such as the electronic element 21a and the electronic element 21b), and the passive element (such as the electronic element 29) is such as a resistor, a capacitor, or an inductor.
In an embodiment, the electronic elements 21a, 21b are radio frequency chips, such as Bluetooth chips or Wi-Fi chips, but may also be other electronic elements that are not interfered by electromagnetic waves. For example, the electronic elements 21a, 21b are disposed on the electrical contact pads 201 of the carrier structure 20 in a flip-chip manner via a plurality of conductive bumps 210 made of such as solder material to electrically connect the circuit layer; alternatively, the electronic elements 21a, 21b can be electrically connected to the electrical contact pads 201 by a plurality of bonding wires (not shown) in a wire bonding manner. However, the manner in which the electronic elements 21a, 21b are electrically connected to the circuit layer is not limited to the above.
The shielding structure 22 is located between the two electronic elements 21a, 21b, and at least one cavity 220 with an opening facing the carrier structure 20 is formed. In an embodiment, two cavities 220 are formed, so that the side walls on opposite sides of the cavities 220 serve as shielding members 220a, 220b, 220c, so that the shielding members 220a, 220b, 220c are designed in a recessed manner in the embodiment, for example, three shielding members 220a, 220b, 220c are formed, and a plurality of the shielding members 220a, 220b, 220c are located between the two electronic elements 21a, 21b.

Further, a depth d of the cavity 220 is less than a thickness t1 of the shielding structure 22, as shown in
Furthermore, the cavity 220 is in the form of a channel, and the number of the cavity 220 on at least one section of the shielding structure 22 can be even or odd, so the number of the cavity 220 on the first section 221 or the second section 222 may be an even number (e.g., two); or, as shown in
Also, the top surface 32a of the shielding structure 32 is in a zigzag-like shape. The shielding members 420a and 420b can be designed by an elevating manner, such as a shielding structure 42 shown in

In addition, the shielding structure 22 can be bonded onto the external pad 202 of the carrier structure 20 via a conductive layer 28 such as solder material or conductive paste, so as to connect the carrier structure 20 to the ground. For example, the shielding members 220a, 220b, 220c are grounded and connected to the carrier structure 20 via the conductive layer 28; alternatively, the shielding structure 22 only has a partial shielding member 220b grounded and connected to the carrier structure 20 via the conductive layer 28, as shown in

Furthermore, via a leveling process, the first surface 23a of the cladding layer 23 can be flush with the top surface 22a of the shielding structure 22, so that the top surface 22a of the shielding structure 22 is exposed from the first surface 23a of the cladding layer 23. For example, the leveling process removes partial materials of the cladding layer 23 by grinding, or even removes partial materials of the shielding structure 22 by grinding, so that the cavity 220 communicates with and is exposed from the first surface 23a of the cladding layer 23, such as a shielding structure 52 shown in
Alternatively, partial materials of the first surface 23a of the cladding layer 23 may be removed by grinding or a laser method to form a recess 230 on the first surface 23a of the cladding layer 23, as shown in
In addition, in other embodiments, the shielding structure 22 may also be exposed from the side surface 23c of the cladding layer 23. For example, the first section 221 (or the second section 222) and the cavity 220 thereof may be exposed from the side surface 23c of the cladding layer 23, as shown in
As shown in
In an embodiment, the sheltering layer 24 is formed of materials such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), aluminum (Al), stainless steel (SUS), and the like.
