Abstract

The present invention provides a TSV-based oscillator WLP structure and a method for fabricating the same. The method of the present invention comprises steps: providing a silicon base having an oscillator unit disposed thereon; forming on the silicon base at least one package ring surrounding the oscillator unit; and disposing a silicon cap on the package ring to envelop the oscillator unit. The present invention adopts a cap and a base, which are made of the same material, to effectively overcome the problem of thermal stress occurring in a conventional sandwich package structure. Further, the present invention elaborately designs the wiring on the lower surface of the base to reduce the package size and decrease consumption of noble metals.
