BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a chip package without a core and stacked package structure thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a chip package having small thickness and without a core, and stacked package structure thereof.
2. Description of Related Art
In the information era today, users prefer electronic products with high speed, high quality and versatile functions. In terms of product appearance, the design of the electronic products tends to be lighter, thinner, shorter and smaller. In order to achieve the above aspects, many companies have incorporated a systematic concept in the circuit design. Accordingly, the single chip can have versatile functions to reduce the number of the chips disposed in the electronic products. Moreover, in the technology of electronic package, in order to meet the light, thin, short and small design trend, the package design concept of the of multi-chip module (MCM), chip scale package (CSP) and stacked multi-chip have been developed. The following is a description of several conventional chip package structures.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional diagram of a conventional stacked chip package structure. Referring to FIG. 1, the conventional stacked chip package structure 50 includes a package substrate 100 and multiple chip packages 200a, 200b, wherein the chip packages 200a, 200b stacked on the circuit substrate 100 are electrically connected to the circuit substrate 100. Each of the chip packages 200a, 200b includes a package substrate 210, a chip 220, multiple bumps 230, an under fill 240 and multiple solder balls 250. The chip 220 and the bumps 230 are disposed on the package substrate 210, the bumps 230 are disposed between the chip 220 and the package substrate 210, and the chip 220 is electrically connected to the package substrate 210 via the bumps 230. The under fill 240 disposed between the chip 220 and the package substrate 210 cover these bumps 230.
The package substrate 210 has multiple conductive poles 212 and multiple bonding pads 214, wherein each conductive pole 212 passes through the package substrate 210, and each bonding pad 214 is disposed on the conductive pole 212. Moreover, each solder ball 250 is disposed on the bonding pad 214. Accordingly, the chip package 200a is electrically connected to the chip package 200b by the solder ball 250, and the chip package 200b is electrically connected to the circuit substrate 100 by the solder ball 250.
In general, in the manufacturing method of the package substrate 210, the core dielectric layer is used as the core material, the patterned circuit layer and the patterned dielectric layer are inter-stacked on the core dielectric layer in a fully additive process, semi-additive process, subtractive process or other process. Accordingly, the core dielectric layer may take a major proportion in the entire thickness of the package substrate 210. Therefore, if the thickness of the core dielectric layer can not be reduced effectively, it would be a big obstacle in reducing the thicknesses of the chip package 200a and 200b. 
Of course, when a bottleneck is met in the reduction of the thicknesses of the chip package 200a and 200b, the entire thickness of the stacked chip package structure 50 cannot be effectively reduced, such that the package integrity of the stacked chip package structure 50 cannot be improved effectively.

Referring to FIG. 2A, first, a conductive layer 310 is provided, wherein the conductive layer 310 has a first surface 314 and a second surface 312 opposite to each other, and the material of the conductive layer 310 is copper. Then, a solder mask 320 is formed on the second surface 312, and the solder mask 320 is patterned in a photolithography and etching process to form a second opening 322 and multiple first openings 324, wherein part of the conductive layer 310 is exposed by the second opening 322 and the first opening 324. In one embodiment, a brown oxidation or a black oxidation process can further be performed on the conductive layer 310 to improve the surface roughness of the conductive layer 31. Accordingly, the combination between the conductive layer 310 and the solder mask 320 is improved.
Then, referring to FIG. 2B, a diaphragm 330 is formed on the solder mask 320 to serve as the carrier for the conductive layer 310 and the solder mask 320 in the subsequent manufacturing processes, wherein the diaphragm 330, for example, can be attached on the solder mask 320 by the adhesive compound or be directly formed on the solder mask 320 in another process. Therefore, the conductive layer 310 and the solder mask layer 320 can obtain enough support in the subsequent processes to ensure a smooth operation in the subsequent processes. In one embodiment, the diaphragm 330 can also be fixed on the frame 340 to provide better support for the conductive layer 310 and the solder mask 320. Thereafter, the conductive layer 310 is patterned to form the patterned circuit layer 350 in a photolithography and etching manufacturing process.
Then, referring to FIG. 2C, an opening 332 and multiple openings 334 are formed on the diaphragm 330 in a photolithography and etching manufacturing process. Then, a chip 360 is disposed on the first surface 314 by disposing the adhesive compound 365 between the chip 360 and the patterned circuit layer 350 to fix the relative positions of each other, for example. Then, in a wire bonding technology, the chip 330 is electrically connected to the patterned circuit layer 350 by multiple conductive wires 370. Wherein, the material of the conductive wires 370 is, for example, Au. Part of the patterned circuit layer 350 is exposed by the first opening 324 and the opening 334, and part of the patterned circuit layer 350 and part of the chip 330 are exposed by the second opening 322 and the opening 332.
Of course, the opening 332 and the opening 334 can be formed after or before the conductive layer 310 is patterned. Then, the conductive layer 310 is patterned to form the patterned conductive layer 350.

The molding compound 380 covers the pattern circuit layer 350 and fixes the chip 360 onto the patterned circuit layer 350.

Note that if there is no under fill 374 formed between the chip 360 and the patterned conductive layer 350 in the process in FIG. 3C, the molding compound 380 can further substitute the under fill 374 to cover the bumps 372. In addition, an outer terminal 390 can be formed on each first opening 324. Accordingly, the outer terminal 390 is electrically connected to the patterned circuit layer 350 by the first opening 324. For example, when the outer terminal 390 is a solder ball, the outer terminal 390 is electrically connected to the patterned circuit layer 350 in a reflowing process.
