     The present application is continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/725,307 filed Dec. 23, 2019, now U.S. Pat. No. 11,289,394, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND 
     1. Technical Field 
     The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor package having a pre-stressed flexible structure. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     To adapt for the development of wearable communication devices, volume reduction (e.g., thinning), manufacturing cost reduction, function flexibility, and expedited product cycle are important to device packaging. 
     Comparative wearable communication device includes components such as display, system-in-package (SiP), and battery. The I/O of the SiP connects to the display through flexible substrate and being disposed under the display. A housing is added to protect the SiP and flexible substrate. The thickness and the stiffness of the housing affect the wearability of the wearable communication device, for example, as it may not conform to the wrist of the user. However, if the housing is removed and embedding the display, SiP, and battery into the flexible strap, external force can directly impact the die and pose potential damage to the product.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Common reference numerals are used throughout the drawings and the detailed description to indicate the same or similar components. Embodiments of the present disclosure will be readily understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 
     Spatial descriptions, such as “above,” “below,” “up,” “left,” “right,” “down,” “top,” “bottom,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “side,” “higher,” “lower,” “upper,” “over,” “under,” and so forth, are specified with respect to a certain component or group of components, or a certain plane of a component or group of components, for the orientation of the component(s) as shown in the associated figure. It should be understood that the spatial descriptions used herein are for purposes of illustration only, and that practical implementations of the structures described herein can be spatially arranged in any orientation or manner, provided that the merits of embodiments of this disclosure are not deviated from by such arrangement. 
     Present disclosure provides a package structure capable of protecting the die from the impact of external force by possessing a pre-formed stress (or a “pre-stressed” semiconductor package structure referred herein). The pre-formed stress is achieved by assembling two molding compounds with different coefficient of thermal expansions (CTEs). 
     The semiconductor package described in the present disclosure includes a first molding compound having a first CTE smaller than a second CTE of a second molding compound. The first molding compound attached to a first side of a flexible substrate, and the second molding compound attached to a second side of the flexible substrate. Prior to demolding (e.g., removing the molded semiconductor package from the mold chase), the first molding compound and the second molding compound are cooled down to room temperature, and due to the mold chase constraint, the two molding compounds cannot freely deform according to their thermal expansion properties, respectively. The first molding compound is experiencing a compression stress exerted from the second molding compound, and vice versa, the second molding compound is experiencing a tensile stress exerted from the first molding compound. After demolding (e.g., removing the molded semiconductor package from the mold chase), the two molding compounds may freely deform with the compression stress being the pre-formed stress in the first molding compound, and the tensile stress being the pre-formed stress in the second molding compound. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1 ,  FIG. 1  illustrates a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor package  10 M in a mold chase  201  according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The semiconductor package  10 M includes a substrate  101  having a first side  101 A and a second side  101 B opposite to the first side  101 A. In some embodiments, the substrate  101  may be a flexible film substrate, including a flexible film having die attaching areas for carrying the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012 , and second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022 . The first side  101 A of the substrate  101  is provided with a plurality of die connection pads  1013 , and/or a plurality of solder pads  1014 . The die connection pads  1013  and the solder pads  1014  are arranged about the periphery of each of the die attaching area. In some embodiments, the substrate  101  has a plurality of through connections (not shown in  FIG. 1 ) formed corresponding to the solder pads  1014  and the die connection pads  1013  in order to electrically connect the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  on the first side  101 A to the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  on the second side  101 B. 
     A package body is composed of a first compound  1051  and a second compound  1052 . The first compound  1051  is formed over the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  and the first side  101 A of the substrate  101 . The first compound  1051  encapsulates the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012 , and may form a molded underfill (MUF) between the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  and the first side  101 A. The second compound  1052  is formed over the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  and the second side  101 B of the substrate  101  and may form a molded underfill (MUF) between the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  and the second side  101 B. The second compound  1052  encapsulates the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022 . In some embodiments, the second compound  1052  is configured to cause a stress to the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  over the first side  101 A of the substrate  101 . 
     In order to cause the stress to the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012 , in some embodiments, the first compound  1051  is composed of materials having a negative coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), while the second compound  1052  is composed of materials having a positive CTE. During the molding operation, temperature of the molding materials is brought up to greater than 150 degrees Celsius, for example, in a range of from about 170 degrees Celsius to about 180 degrees Celsius, and then cooled down to about room temperature (e.g., 25 degrees Celsius). Due to the aforesaid temperature decrease, materials with negative CTE may expand at least in a linear dimension whereas materials with positive CTE may contract at least in the same linear dimension. Because the first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052  are attached to the inner sidewall of the mold chase  201 , the first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052  may not demonstrate any observable deformation until demolded (e.g., removing the first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052  from the mold chase  201 ). 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 ,  FIG. 2  illustrates a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor package  10  removed from a mold chase according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In  FIG. 2 , in absence of the constraint of the mold chase and as a result of the aforesaid temperature decrease, the first compound  1051  may freely expand and the second compound  1052  may freely contract according to their respective CTEs. As shown in  FIG. 2 , the first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052  are deformed to have a upside-down “U” shape, where the first compound  1051  is experiencing a compression stress exerted by the second compound  1052  and vice versa, the second compound  1052  is experiencing a tensile stress exerted by the first compound  1051 . The compression stress experienced by the first compound  1051 , and thence the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  encapsulated by the first compound  1051 , is referred to as a pre-formed compression stress  2001  in the present disclosure. The tensile stress experienced by the second compound  1052 , and thence the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  encapsulated by the second compound  1052 , is referred to as a pre-formed tensile stress  2003  in the present disclosure. Alternatively stated, by exploiting the CTEs of the first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052 , pre-formed compression stress  2001  can exerts a compression force to the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012 , and the pre-formed tensile stress  2003  can exerts a tensile force to the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  in the absence of any external force. 
     In some embodiments, materials with negative CTEs may be metal oxides, including but not limited to, AM 2 O 8  (where A can be Zr, Hf and M can be W, Mo), Zn(CN) 2 , A 2 (MO 4 ) 3  (where A can be Sc, Y, Lu, and the like, and M can be W, Mo), Cu 2 O, Ag 2 O, ZrV 2 O 7 , ZrP 2 O 7 , NbOPO 4 , and the like. In some embodiments, the materials with negative CTEs can be mixed into epoxy-based materials as a form of fillers, so as to obtain the first compound  1051  described in the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the materials with negative CTEs can be deposited over the first side  101 A of the substrate  101  using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). In some embodiments, the materials with negative CTEs can be laminated over the first side  101 A of the substrate  101 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 , the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  are experiencing the pre-formed compression stress  2001  in the absence of any external force. In some embodiments, the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  are selected from semiconductor dies that are more compression endurable than tensile endurable. For example, the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  may include a die having a planar area greater than or equal to about 4 mm by 4 mm, a die having a thickness greater than or equal to about 0.05 mm, and/or an active device including, but not limited to, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), an application processor (AP), or a memory. 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 , the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  are experiencing the pre-formed tensile stress  2003  in the absence of any external force. In some embodiments, the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  are selected from semiconductor dies that are more tensile endurable than compression endurable. For example, the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  may include a die having a planar area smaller than about 4 mm by 4 mm, a die having a thickness thinner than about 0.05 mm, a passive device, a sensor, a radio frequency (RF) device, or a front-end module. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2 , a solder mask layer  103  is disposed between the first side  101 A of the substrate  101  and the first compound  1051 . Similarly, a solder mask layer  103 ′ is disposed between the second side  101 B of the substrate  101  and the second compound  1052 . The solder mask layer  103 ,  103 ′ is coated over the first side  101 A and/or the second side  101 B in order to provide isolation between die carrying regions and to prevent overflow of the solder. In some embodiments, the solder mask layer  103  is in direct contact with the first compound  1051 , and the solder mask layer  103 ′ is in direct contact with the second compound  1052 . 
     In some embodiments, a display may be disposed in the first compound  1051  over the first side  101 A of the substrate  101  and electrically connected to the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012 , and/or the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022 . In some embodiments, the display is disposed further from the first side  101 A than the first type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  do. In some embodiments, the display may be laterally encapsulated and partially exposed from the first compound  1051  at its top surface. Alternatively stated, the display ZZZ is disposed in a compound layer experiencing a pre-formed compression stress. In some embodiments, the display may be free from encapsulation of the first compound  1051  by disposing over a top surface of the first compound  1051 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 , when user&#39;s wrist is in contact with the second compound  1052 , an external force of bending may be exerted to the first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052 . Specifically, a tensile stress  2005  may be imposed on first compound  1051  while a compression stress  2007  may be imposed on the second compound  1052 . In this connection, the tensile stress  2005  may be imposed to the first semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1021  in the first compound  1051  while the compression stress  2007  may be imposed to the second semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  in the second compound  1052 . To some extent, the pre-formed compression stress  2001  in the first compound  1051  can counter balance the external tensile stress  2005  exerted by the user, and the pre-formed tensile stress  2003  in the second compound  1052  can counter balance the external compression stress  2007  exerted by the user. Examples of the tensile and compression stress balance may be addressed in  FIG. 4A  and  FIG. 4B  of the present disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG. 3A  to  FIG. 3E ,  FIG. 3A  to  FIG. 3E  illustrate cross sectional views of intermediate products in various stages of manufacturing a semiconductor package, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In  FIG. 3A , a substrate  101  having a first side  101 A and a second side  101 B is provided. A plurality of solder pads  1014  and the die connection pads  1013  are disposed over the first side  101 A and the second side  101 B of the substrate  101 . 
     In  FIG. 3B , a stencil mask  301 A is provided over the first side  101 A, covering the plurality of solder pads  1014  and the die connection pads  1013 . Similarly, a stencil mask  301 B is provided over the second side  101 B, covering the plurality of solder pads  1014  and the die connection pads  1013 . A spray coater  301 C is provided to scan through the first side  101 A and the second side  101 B of the substrate  101  in order to provide a first solder mask layer  103  over the first side  101 A and a second solder mask layer  103 ′ over the second side  101 B. Subsequently, the stencil masks  301 A and  301 B are removed. 
     In  FIG. 3C , a plurality of first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  are disposed over the first side  101 A and electrically connected to the solder pads  1014  and the die connection pads  1013  on the first side  101 A. In some embodiments, the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  can be flip-chip bonded to the first side  101 A. In some other embodiments, the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  can be disposed over the first side  101 A using any suitable surface mounting techniques. Similarly, a plurality of second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  are disposed over the second side  101 B and electrically connected to the solder pads  1014  and the die connection pads  1013  on the second side  101 B. In some embodiments, the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  can be flip-chip bonded to the second side  101 B. In some other embodiments, the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  can be disposed over the second side  101 B using any suitable surface mounting techniques. Suitable reflow operations may be performed to complete the surface mounting. As previously described, the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  may be more compression endurable than tensile endurable. For example, the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  may include a die having a planar area greater than or equal to about 4 mm by 4 mm, a die having a thickness greater than or equal to about 0.05 mm, and/or an active device including, but not limited to, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), an application processor (AP), or a memory. The second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  may be more tensile endurable than compression endurable. For example, the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  may include a die having a planar area smaller than about 4 mm by 4 mm, a die having a thickness thinner than about 0.05 mm, a passive device, a sensor, a radio frequency (RF) device or a front end module. 
     In  FIG. 3D , the first compound  1051  is formed to encapsulate the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012 , over the first side  101 A by a molding operation. Concurrently or subsequently, the second compound  1052  is formed to encapsulate the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022 , over the second side  101 B by a molding operation. In some embodiments, the first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052  are formed by a double side molding operation where the first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052  are injected into a mold chase  201 , elevating the temperature of the first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052  to a temperature greater than about 150 degrees Celsius, for example, in a range of from about 170 to about 180 degrees Celsius, and then subsequently reduce the temperature of the first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052  to room temperature (e.g., 25 degree Celsius). The aforesaid temperature elevation and reduction are conducted without demold. 
     As previously described, the first compound  1051  is composed of materials having a negative coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), while the second compound  1052  is composed of materials having a positive CTE. The first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052  may not deform prior to demolding. After demolding (e.g., removing the semiconductor package from the mold chase  201 ), the first compound  1051  expands and the second compound  1052  contact, causing the first compound  1051  to experience the pre-formed compression stress exerted by the second compound  1052  and vice versa, causing the second compound  1052  to experience the pre-formed tensile stress exerted by the first compound  1051 , as shown in  FIG. 3E . In some embodiments, the first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052  are deformed to have a upside-down “U” shape, thereby the pre-formed compression stress is imposed on the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  in the first compound  1051 , and the pre-formed tensile stress is imposed on the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  in the second compound  1052 . In some embodiments, the first compound  1051  has a thickness greater than any of the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012 . Similarly, the second compound  1052  has a thickness greater than any of the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022 . 
       FIG. 4A  shows a schematic diagram of change of stress applied to the first type semiconductor dies at various conditions, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.  FIG. 4A  shows the stress being imposed on the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  in the first compound  1051  under three conditions: (A) when no external force (e.g., from the user) imposed on the semiconductor package; (B) when a moderate external force (e.g., from the user) imposed on the semiconductor package; (C) when an abnormal external force (e.g., from the user) imposed on the semiconductor package. 
     Under condition (A), the pre-formed compression stress may cause the first compound  1051  or the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012  to experience a compression stress between stress neutral “0” and compression stress limit “CP”. The semiconductor package and the semiconductor dies therein may suffer permanent deformation or cracks when a stress beyond compression stress limit CP is imposed. Under condition (B), when a user is wearing a wearable device composed of the semiconductor package described herein with the second compound  1052  side in contact with his or her wrist, a moderate tensile stress is applied to the first compound  1051  and the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1012 . The pre-formed compression stress originally experienced by the first compound  1051  and the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  112  is counter balanced by such tensile stress and the net stress in the first compound  1051  may be close to stress neutral 0. Under condition (C), when a user is wearing a wearable device composed of the semiconductor package described herein with the first compound  1051  side in contact with his or her wrist, that is, opposite to the normal wearing condition, an abnormal compression stress is imposed on the first compound  1051  as well as the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1021  therein. The abnormal compression stress may add to the pre-formed compression stress and causing the net stress to move closer to compression stress limit CP. However, since the first type semiconductor dies  1011 ,  1021  are more compression endurable than tensile endurable, such abnormal compression stress may not cause package or device failure by reaching the compression stress limit CP. 
       FIG. 4B  shows a schematic diagram of change of stress applied to the second type semiconductor dies at various conditions, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.  FIG. 4B  shows the stress being imposed on the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  in the second compound  1052  under three conditions: (D) when no external force (e.g., from the user) imposed on the semiconductor package; (E) when a moderate external force (e.g., from the user) imposed on the semiconductor package; (F) when an abnormal external force (e.g., from the user) imposed on the semiconductor package. 
     Under condition (D), the pre-formed tensile stress may cause the second compound  1052  or the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  to experience a tensile stress between stress neutral “0” and tensile stress limit “TS”. The semiconductor package and the semiconductor dies therein may suffer permanent deformation or cracks when a stress beyond tensile stress limit TS is imposed. Under condition (E), when a user is wearing a wearable device composed of the semiconductor package described herein with the second compound  1052  side in contact with his or her wrist, a moderate compression stress is applied to the second compound  1051  and the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022 . The pre-formed tensile stress originally experienced by the second compound  1052  and the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  is counter balanced by such compression stress and the net stress in the second compound  1052  may be close to stress neutral 0. Under condition (F), when a user is wearing a wearable device composed of the semiconductor package described herein with the first compound  1051  side in contact with his or her wrist, that is, opposite to the normal wearing condition, an abnormal tensile stress is imposed on the second compound  1052  as well as the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  therein. The abnormal tensile stress may add to the pre-formed tensile stress and causing the net stress to move closer to tensile stress limit TS. However, since the second type semiconductor dies  1021 ,  1022  are more tensile endurable than compression endurable, such abnormal tensile stress may not cause package or device failure by reaching the tensile stress limit TS. 
       FIG. 5  illustrates a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor package  50  removed from a mold chase according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The semiconductor package  50  is similar to the semiconductor package  10  except for a graded CTE configuration. For example, a third compound  1053  is stacked with the first compound  1051  over the first side  101 A of the substrate  101 , and a fourth compound  1054  is stacked with the second compound  1052  over the second side  101 B of the substrate  101 . In some embodiments, the third compound  1053  is having a CTE more negative than the first compound  1051 , while the fourth compound  1054  is having a CTE more positive than the second compound  1052 . With the graded CTE configuration, the pre-formed compression stress and pre-formed tensile stress can be better deigned to counter-balance the external force when a user wearing the wearable device composed of the semiconductor package described herein. In some embodiments, more compound layer may be stacked over the first side  101 A and the second side  101 B of the substrate  101  in order to achieve the preformed stress desired. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 5 , a solder mask layer  103 A is between the substrate  101  and the first compound  1051 , and a solder mask layer  103 B is between the first compound  1051  and the third compound  1053 . A solder mask layer  103 A′ is between the substrate  101  and the second compound  1052 , and a solder mask layer  103 B′ is between the second compound  1052  and the fourth compound  1054 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 3D ,  FIG. 3E , and  FIG. 5 , after the demolding operation, a third compound  1053  and a fourth compound  1054  described in  FIG. 5  may be formed using a subsequent double side molding operation. Suitable bending or flattening procedure may be performed to the semiconductor package as illustrated in  FIG. 3E  prior to subsequent double side molding operation since the first compound  1051  and the second compound  1052  may freely expand and contact after demolding.

The term “substantially coplanar” can refer to two surfaces within micrometers of lying along a same plane, such as within 40 μm, within 30 μm, within 20 μm, within 10 μm, or within 1 μm of lying along the same plane. 
     As used herein, the singular terms “a,” “an,” and “the” may include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In the description of some embodiments, a component provided “on” or “over” another component can encompass cases where the former component is directly on (e.g., in physical contact with) the latter component, as well as cases where one or more intervening components are located between the former component and the latter component. 
     While the present disclosure has been described and illustrated with reference to specific embodiments thereof, these descriptions and illustrations are not limiting. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims. The illustrations may not necessarily be drawn to scale. There may be distinctions between the artistic renditions in the present disclosure and the actual apparatus due to manufacturing processes and tolerances. There may be other embodiments of the present disclosure which are not specifically illustrated. The specification and the drawings are to be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive. Modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation, material, composition of matter, method, or process to the objective, spirit and scope of the present disclosure. All such modifications are intended to be within the scope of the claims appended hereto. While the methods disclosed herein have been described with reference to particular operations performed in a particular order, it will be understood that these operations may be combined, sub-divided, or re-ordered to form an equivalent method without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure. Accordingly, unless specifically indicated herein, the order and grouping of the operations are not limitations.
