The invention discloses a packaging structure and packaging method. The packaging structure includes a solder bump, a pad located on a front side of a chip, and an intermediate metal layer which connects the solder bump and the pad, wherein a through hole passing from a back side of the chip to the pad is provided on the chip, and the intermediate metal layer is connected to the pad within the through hole. In the packaging structure, a through hole is formed on the back side of the chip to expose the pad on the front side of the chip and the intermediate metal layer is connected to the pad within the through hole. This provides a relatively large contacting area therebetween. The connection thus formed is more reliable and stable, compared with the prior art structure.
