Polycrystalline Moon ^ ^ ^ The sun and the moon package structure can minimize the system operating speed limit caused by long printed circuit board connection lines by combining the processor, § memory and logic chip in a single-package configuration. . In addition, the multi-chip package construction reduces the length of the inter-wafer technology and reduces the length of the signal and reduces the signal delay and access time. However, 'in some applications (such as tires used to monitor tire pressure in cars), one would want to have a wafer for functionality, reliability, safety, and/or manufacturability (eg, The wafer is separated from other integrated circuit wafers. The tire pressure monitoring system typically includes a sensing wafer for sensing pressure and a dedicated integrated circuit (ASIC) that reacts to temperature and system battery voltage. Tire pressure monitoring systems have been packaged in a variety of different ways. 2005/03 8422 A1 discloses that the components of the tire pressure monitoring system are packaged on a common lead frame, wherein the eight-order 0 is completely covered so as not to be affected by the local environment, and the sensing chip is disposed in an open recess. The recess is sealed by a cover having a pressure transmitting opening. However, the sensing of this conventional tire pressure monitoring system 5 1287865 « The wafer system is directly carried on the wafer holder of the lead frame. Since the difference between the thermal expansion coefficient of the sensing wafer and the wafer holder is quite large, the sensing wafer and the wafer holder may have different expansion or contraction of the temperature change of the environment exposed by the sensing wafer. This causes the structure of the sensing wafer to warpage, rendering the sensing wafer unable to detect the tire pressure. In addition, the thermal stress caused by the CTE mismatch may also cause delamination or rupture of the wafer between the sensing cymbal and the wafer holder. Moreover, such differences may also create unfavorable stresses in the mechanical and electrical connection between the sensing wafer and the wafer holder.

In accordance with the above and other objects, the present invention provides a semiconductor wafer package: a structure comprising: a lead frame, a semiconductor wafer coated in the body of the first sealant (for example, a dedicated integrated circuit (asic)) (this a recess-shaped portion for accommodating a second semiconductor wafer (for example, a pressure sensation), a cover member disposed on the recess of the first sealant.
