Heat-dissipating semiconductor package structure and method for manufacturing the same

A heat-dissipating semiconductor package structure and a method for manufacturing the same is disclosed. The method includes: disposing on and electrically connecting to a chip carrier at least a semiconductor chip and a package unit; disposing on the top surface of the package unit a heat-dissipating element having a flat portion and a supporting portion via the flat portion; receiving the package unit and semiconductor chip in a receiving space formed by the flat portion and supporting portion of the heat-dissipating element; and forming on the chip carrier encapsulant for encapsulating the package unit, semiconductor chip, and heat-dissipating element. The heat-dissipating element dissipates heat generated by the package unit, provides EMI shielding, prevents delamination between the package unit and the encapsulant, decreases thermal resistance, and prevents cracking.
