A first intermediate structure as shown in fig. 2 may be obtained via step 110. In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, a plurality of chips 20 to be packaged are mounted on the carrier 10. In other embodiments, the number of the chips 20 to be packaged mounted on the carrier 10 may be one.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the carrier board 10 includes a mounting area 101 for mounting the chip 20 to be packaged, and a blank area 102 for mounting the electrode 30. The shape of the mounting area 101 is designed according to the layout of the chip 20 to be packaged on the whole carrier 10, and the shape of the mounting area 101 may include a circle, a rectangle or other shapes.

When the plating process is performed in the subsequent step, the electrode 30 is connected to a power supply.

In step 120, an encapsulation layer is formed, the encapsulation layer covers the carrier, the encapsulation layer encapsulates the at least one chip to be packaged and the electrode, and the second surface of the electrode exposes the encapsulation layer.
A second intermediate structure as shown in fig. 5 may be obtained by step 120.
Referring to fig. 5, an encapsulation layer 40 is formed on the chip 20, the electrode 30 and the exposed carrier 10 for encapsulating the chip 20 and the electrode 30 to be packaged to reconstruct a flat plate structure, so that after the carrier 10 is peeled off, re-wiring and packaging can be continued on the reconstructed flat plate structure.
In one embodiment, before forming the encapsulating layer 40, some pre-treatment steps, such as chemical cleaning, plasma cleaning, etc., may be performed to remove impurities from the surfaces of the chip 20, the electrode 30 and the carrier 10, so that the connections between the encapsulating layer 40 and the chip 20 to be packaged, the electrode 30 and the carrier 10 can be more intimate, and no delamination or cracking occurs.
In one embodiment, the encapsulating layer 40 may be formed by laminating an epoxy resin film, or by injection molding, compression molding, or transfer molding an epoxy compound.

In this step, the thickness of the encapsulation structure is greater than the thickness of the chip 20 and the electrode 30, so that the encapsulation structure completely encapsulates the chip 20 and the electrode 30.
And then, thinning one side of the encapsulation structure, which is far away from the carrier plate, to obtain the encapsulation layer so as to expose the second surface of the electrode. In this step, the encapsulation structure may be thinned through a grinding process, so that the thickness of the encapsulation structure is reduced to be equal to the distance from the second surface of the electrode 30 to the carrier 10, thereby exposing the second surface of the electrode 30.
