Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor package structure includes an electronic device having a first surface and an exposed region adjacent to the first surface; a dam disposed on the first surface and surrounding the exposed region of the electronic device; and a filter structure disposed on the dam.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A semiconductor package structure, comprising: an electronic device having a first surface and an exposed region adjacent to the first surface; a dam disposed on the first surface and surrounding the exposed region of the electronic device; a filter structure disposed on the dam, wherein the filter structure comprises a first portion and a second portion surrounding the first portion, and an encapsulant encapsulating the first surface of the electronic device and surrounding the dam, wherein a surface of the dam is retracted from a top surface of the encapsulant, wherein the encapsulant has a substantially slant surface or a substantially curve surface, and wherein the encapsulant has an extension on the second portion of the filter structure. 2. The semiconductor package structure of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the filter structure is in direct contact with the dam. 3. The semiconductor package structure of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the filter comprises a mesh from a top view perspective. 4. The semiconductor package structure of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the filter structure defines some cylindrical through holes or some cone-shaped through holes. 5. The semiconductor package structure of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the filter structure has a first thickness adjacent to the first portion of the filter structure and a second thickness away from the first portion of the filter structure, and wherein the first thickness is greater than the second thickness. 6. The semiconductor package structure of claim 1 , wherein the dam has a lower portion having a width greater than an upper portion. 7. The semiconductor package structure of claim 1 , wherein the dam is retracted from a top surface of the encapsulant. 8. The semiconductor package structure of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulant encapsulates the filter structure. 9. The semiconductor package structure of claim 1 , further comprising a conductive wire bonded to the first surface of the electronic device, where an upper surface of the dam is disposed at an elevation equal to or greater than a top portion of the conductive wire. 10. The semiconductor package structure of claim 1 , wherein the dam overlaps or covers the exposed region of the electronic device. 11. The semiconductor package structure of claim 1 , wherein the filter structure has a width less than the electronic device. 12. A semiconductor package structure, comprising: an encapsulating member having an open cavity defined therein configured to expose an active surface of a semiconductor device; an filter structure exposed from the open cavity of the encapsulating member, the filter structure including: a first portion having a plurality of through holes formed therein arranged over the active surface of the semiconductor device, and a second portion formed around a periphery of the first portion; and a dam that surrounds the active surface of the semiconductor device and supports the second portion of the filter structure, wherein the encapsulating member contacts both a lateral surface of the dam and a lateral surface of the filter structure; and wherein a thickness of the encapsulating member reduces toward an outer edge portion thereof. 13. The structure of claim 12 , wherein in a lateral cross section of the filter structure that shows both of the second portions supported on the dam, the second portions of the filter structure have asymmetric thickness profiles.
