## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a package structure, and more particularly to a three-dimensional package structure.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Increasing device complexity but shrinking size is common trend of electrical products. How to put more electrical elements or circuits into a limited space is important for electrical products' designers. Therefore, a three-dimensional package structure is a method to increase the density of the electrical products.
Point-of-Load (POL) converter also can be called as DC/DC converter. A conventional POL converter is packaged by BGA (Ball Grid Array) package or LGA (Land Grid Array) package.
As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional POL converter 1 includes at least one control device 11, at least one MOSFET 13 and a choke coil 15. Take BGA package for example. The control device 11 and the MOSFET 13 and the choke coil 15 are electrically connected to a substrate 17 having electrical circuits, such as printed circuit board, and then packaged to be a POL converter package structure by molding technology.
In the conventional package structure, the control device 11, the MOSFET 13, the choke coil 15, and other devices are disposed on the same horizontal surface of the substrate 17. Therefore, the surface occupied by the devices is pretty large. Moreover, packaging all devices on a single package structure has several disadvantages. For example, once any device inside the package structure is damaged, the whole package structure should be changed. Furthermore, during the operation of the choke coil 15, electric and magnetic are generated which can interfere with the operation of the control device 11. This phenomenon is termed electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Further another object of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional package structure to improve the heat-dissipating ability.
Further another object of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional package structure applicable to a POL converter in which devices except a choke coil are packaged inside a semiconductor package body and the choke coil is disposed on the semiconductor package body to be a three-dimensional package structure to reduce the size of the package structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Some embodiments of the invention will now be described in greater detail. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the present invention can be practiced in a wide range of other embodiments besides those explicitly described, and the scope of the present invention is expressly not limited except as specified in the accompanying claims.
As shown in FIG. 2, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a three-dimensional package structure 2 includes a semiconductor package body 21, an energy storage element 23 and a shielding layer 25. The semiconductor package body 21 has a first surface 213, a second surface 211 opposite the first surface 213, and a sidewall 215 interconnecting the first surface 213 and the second surface 211. The semiconductor package body 21 has a plurality of first conductive elements 216 on the second surface 211 or the sidewall 215 to be electrically connected to an outside device (not shown), such as a mother board. The first conductive elements 216 can be, including but not limited to, leads, pads or solder balls. The semiconductor package body 21 further has a plurality of second conductive elements 217 to be electrically connected to the energy storage element 23. The second conductive elements 217 can be disposed on, but not limited to, the first surface 213. The semiconductor package body 21 can be such as, but not limited to, a package body of QFN (Quad Flat No-lead) package, QFP (Quad Flat Package), SSO (Shrink Small Outline) package, BGA (Ball Grid Array) package, and LGA (Land Grid Array) package. The semiconductor package body 21 further includes at least one control device 212 inside, such as a control chip (IC) or a driving chip (IC).
The energy storage element 23 is stacked on the first surface 213 of the semiconductor package body 21. The energy storage element 23 is electrically connected to the second conductive elements 217. In this embodiment, the energy storage element 23 can be such as an inductor having a coil (not shown), a magnetic body 232, and a pair of electrodes 231 electrically connected to the second conductive elements 217. Furthermore, the electrodes 231 can be formed directly by two ends of the coil or two leads connected to the two ends of the coil.
The shielding layer 25 is disposed between the control device 212 and at least part of the magnetic body 232 to inhibit or reduce EMI from the magnetic body 232 on the control device 212. In this embodiment, the shielding layer 25 is disposed between the first surface 213 of the semiconductor package body 21 and the energy storage element 23. The shielding layer 25 can be a metal shielding layer such as a metal foil. The material of the shielding layer 25 can be one of copper, iron, nickel, aluminum. The shielding layer 25 can be fixed between the first surface 213 of the semiconductor package body 21 and the energy storage element 23 by high heat-dissipating adhesive such as epoxy, silicon, silver adhesive, or conductive adhesive. Alternatively, a silver adhesive is directly coated between first surface 213 of the semiconductor package body 21 and the energy storage element 23 to form the shielding layer 25.
The following experiments are made on the package structure as is shown in FIG. 2. Suppose that the operation frequency of the control device 212 is 200 kHz. When the shielding layer 25 is a copper foil, the operation frequency of the control device 212 oscillates around 200 to 300 kHz. When the shielding layer 25 is an aluminum foil, the operation frequency of the control device 212 oscillates around 200 to 400 kHz. When there is no shielding layer 25 between the semiconductor package body 21 and the energy storage element 23, the operation frequency of the control device 212 oscillates around 200 to 600 kHz. According to the above-mentioned experiments, during the operation of the control device 212, the magnetic body 231 will interfere the operation of the control device 212 to make the operation frequency of the control device 212 oscillate. By the disposition of the shielding layer 25, the oscillation range of the operation frequency of the control device 212 will be reduced.
Furthermore, when the shielding layer 25 is a metal foil, there are two disposition methods. First, during the molding process of the semiconductor package body 21 and the energy storage element 23, the shielding layer 25 is disposed inside the semiconductor package body 21 or the energy storage element 23 to make the shielding layer 25 encapsulated inside the semiconductor package body 21 (as shown in FIG. 3B) or inside the energy storage element 23 (as shown in FIG. 3C). Speaking in detail, as shown in FIG. 3B, if the shielding layer 25 is disposed inside the semiconductor package body 21, when the semiconductor package body 21 is electrically connected to the energy storage element 23, the shielding layer 25 can inhibit or reduce the EMI from the energy storage element 23 on the semiconductor package body 21, especially on the control device 212 inside the semiconductor package body 21. As shown in FIG. 3C, the shielding layer 25 is disposed inside the energy storage element 23, when the energy storage element 23 is electrically connected to the semiconductor package body 21, the shielding layer 25 can inhibit or reduce EMI from the energy storage element 23 on the semiconductor package body 21, especially on the control device 212 inside the semiconductor package body 21.
Secondly, the shielding layer 25 can be a part of lead frame 218 of the semiconductor package body 21 or a part of lead frame of the energy storage element 23. As shown in FIG. 3D, during the design of the lead frame 218, a part of the lead frame 218 is in advance kept as the shielding layer 25. During the molding process, the part of the lead frame 218 is bended to between the control device 212 and at least part of the magnetic body 232, and then molding process is performed. Alternatively, a part of the lead frame (i.e., electrodes 231) of the energy storage element 23 is bended to between the semiconductor package body 21 and the energy storage element 23 to become a shielding layer 25, and then fixed by a high heat-dissipating adhesive on the semiconductor package body 21 or the energy storage element 23.
The method for forming the second conductive elements 217 and the method of the second conductive elements electrically connected to the energy storage element 23 will be described in detail as follows. As shown in FIG. 3A, the first conductive elements 216 are formed by the lead frame 218 of the semiconductor package body 21 (as shown in FIG. 2). At the same time, the leads 218a remained in advance extend outside the semiconductor package body 21. After the molding process on the semiconductor package body 21 is completed, the leads 218a is bended along the sidewall of the semiconductor package body 21 to the first surface 213 of the semiconductor package body 21 to form the second conductive elements 217a. Then, the electrodes 231 (such as leads frame) of the energy storage element 23 are electrically connected and assembled to the second conductive elements 217a by surface mounting technology. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3B, a plurality of conductive structures 219 (such as copper pillars) are disposed on the lead frame 218 and extend toward the first surface 213 and are exposed outside the first surface 213 to form the second conductive elements 217b. Then, the second conductive elements 217b are electrically connected to the electrodes 231 (such as lead frame) of the energy storage element 23 by surface mounting technology. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3C, the conductive structures 219 (such as copper pillars) disposed on the lead frame 218 extends toward the first surface 213 and are exposed outside the first surface 213 to form the second conductive elements 217c. Then, the second conductive elements 217 are electrically connected to the electrodes 231 of the energy storage element 23 by soldering method.
As shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, the three-dimensional package structure 2 according to the present invention can be applicable to a POL (Point-of-Load) converter 3 which is also called as a DC/DC converter. The POL converter 3 includes a semiconductor package body 31a (31b), an energy storage element 33, and a shielding layer 35. The details of the corresponding structure relating to the energy storage element 33, the semiconductor package body 31 and the shielding layer 35 are described as above-mentioned three-dimensional package structure 2 including the energy storage element 23, the semiconductor package body 31, and the shielding layer 25.

Speaking in detail, the substrate 312 is mounted on the lead frame 311 by adhesive (such as silver paste) or by soldering method. The substrate 312 is a substrate having electrical circuits, such as a PCB (Printed Circuit Board), to increase electrical circuit density.

The power devices (such as at least one MOSFET 314) are disposed on the lead frame 311.

Furthermore, the device such as control device, power device, can be attached on the substrate or the lead frame by soldering method. After soldering the device and before encapsulating the devices by the molding compound 318, an under-fill material (not shown) is injected into a gap between the device and the substrate 312 or the lead frame 311 and thereby extends solder joint life by limiting relative displacement between the device and the substrate or the lead frame during thermal cycling.
