Abstract

The present disclosure provides a three-dimensional chip packaging structure and a method of making thereof. The structure includes: a plurality of chips stacked to form a staggered structure, each chip has one end hanging out from a lower chip and another end exposed out and connecting to a pad disposed on the chip, metal connecting pillars formed on the pads, a packaging layer disposed on the metal connecting pillars and the chips, a rewiring layer formed on the packaging layer, and a metal bump formed on the rewiring layer. The structure and method making it do not involve the Through-Silicon-Via (TSV) process, which is commonly used to achieve three-dimensional stacking of chips but is costly at the same time. Instead, the structure and method adopt pads and metal connecting pillars for electric connection. Also, the packaging structure does not necessitate a substrate for support, which reduces the package size.
