Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular relates to a semiconductor circuit. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor packaging is a critical step in semiconductor circuit manufacturing. It encapsulates and cross-links the chip, curing it into a device with a defined structure and protecting it from environmental damage (such as humidity and mechanical shock). Pins, the connection between the chip and external circuitry, must be electrically interconnected via the lead frame and chip pads before packaging. After the package is cured, the pin array is separated and formed through a rib cutting process.

[0003] Existing semiconductor circuit substrates have thickness tolerances, resulting in insufficient precision between the substrate and the packaging mold cavity, which can easily cause material overflow during the injection molding process. Currently, conventional packaging processes use ejector pins to apply mechanical pressure to the substrate during mold closing, ensuring a tight fit between the substrate and the mold cavity to prevent glue overflow. However, the mechanical stress applied by the ejector pins can also be transmitted to the substrate-pin junction area, causing cracks in the insulation layer and ultimately affecting the reliability of the semiconductor circuit. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to improve at least one technical problem in the background technology.

[0005] The present invention provides a semiconductor circuit, comprising:

[0006] A substrate, with a plurality of first mounting portions provided on both sides of the substrate, one side of the substrate serving as a layout surface, and an insulating layer provided on the layout surface;

[0007] a chip functional layer, the chip functional layer being disposed on the insulating layer and electrically connected to each of the first mounting portions;

[0008] A package body is arranged on the layout surface and covers the chip functional layer; each first mounting portion extends outside the package body;

[0009] A plurality of external pins are connected to the extended end of the first mounting portion and are electrically connected to the first mounting portion.

[0010] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The semiconductor circuit of the present invention is designed with a first mounting portion extending outward from the package body and external pins, so that the external pins can be installed after the semiconductor circuit is packaged. Therefore, when the packaging mold is closed during the packaging process, even if ejector pressing is used to prevent glue overflow, stress between the substrate and the pins will not be generated to cause cracks in the insulating layer. In addition, the external pins of the present invention can be individually formed and then installed, without the need to be introduced through a lead frame in combination with rib cutting and forming, which can reduce equipment and production costs and improve production efficiency.

[0011] Furthermore, the first mounting portion includes two pin pads, a first gap is formed between the two pin pads, a groove shape of the first gap matches the shape of the external pin, and the external pin is connected to the first gap.

[0012] By providing two pin pads and forming a gap matching the shape of the external pins in each first mounting portion of the present invention, the accuracy of the external pin welding installation can be improved, the mechanical stability of the external pins can be ensured, and the reliability of the semiconductor circuit can be further improved.

[0013] Furthermore, the semiconductor circuit further comprises a baffle, which is mounted on the outer edge of the arrangement surface. The baffle and the arrangement surface are combined to form a box-like structure with an opening facing upward.

[0014] The setting of the baffle in the present invention can first play a supporting role. When the semiconductor circuit is arranged on the electronic control board, an appropriate gap can be formed between the semiconductor circuit and the electronic control board, so that electronic components can be arranged at the corresponding gap positions on the electronic control board to improve the integration of the electronic control board; at the same time, it can also prevent the condensed water formed on the electronic control board from soaking the semiconductor circuit for a long time and affecting the reliability of the semiconductor circuit; in addition, the structure enclosed by the baffle and the layout surface can also play an insect-proof role.

[0015] Furthermore, a plurality of second mounting portions are respectively provided on the outer side of the substrate, and each second mounting portion extends out of the package body; the semiconductor circuit also includes a plurality of supporting pins, one end of the supporting pin is connected to the extending end of the second mounting portion.

[0016] In the present invention, the support pins are not electrically connected to the chip functional layer. By arranging support pins on the outside of the substrate to support the baffle, multi-point support can significantly improve the baffle's anti-deformation ability, ensuring that the box-type structure formed by the baffle and the substrate maintains rigidity; at the same time, it can disperse mechanical stress and reduce the risk of damage to the substrate structure caused by local stress concentration.

[0017] Furthermore, the free end of the support pin is connected to the baffle, and the support pin and the baffle are connected to form a whole.

[0018] The present invention can improve the stability of the overall supporting structure by connecting the supporting pins and the baffle to form an integral body. At the same time, the integrated design can simplify the installation process and improve production efficiency.

[0019] Furthermore, the second mounting portion includes two support pin pads, a second gap is formed between the two support pin pads, a groove shape of the second gap matches the shape of the support pin, and the support pin is connected to the second gap.

[0020] By providing two support pin pads and forming a gap that matches the shape of the support pin in each second mounting portion of the present invention, the accuracy of the support pin welding installation can be improved, the mechanical stability of the support pin can be improved, and the accuracy of the gap formed by the baffle supporting the semiconductor circuit can be ensured.

[0021] Furthermore, the chip functional layer includes a circuit wiring layer and a circuit component assembly. The circuit wiring layer is arranged on the insulating layer and is electrically connected to each first mounting part; the circuit component assembly is arranged on the circuit wiring layer and is electrically connected to the circuit wiring layer.

The high-power components in the semiconductor circuit usually generate a large amount of heat. The setting of the heat sink can ensure the stable operation of the high-power components and extend the service life of the high-power components. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0053] The method for manufacturing a semiconductor circuit in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0054] A pin pad 101 and a supporting pin pad 103 are provided on the substrate 1;

[0055] The insulating layer 2 and the copper foil layer are pressed together to obtain a pressed semi-finished product, and then the pressed semi-finished product is pressed together with the substrate 1, wherein one side of the insulating layer 2 in the pressed semi-finished product faces the arrangement surface of the substrate 1;

[0056] Etching the copper foil layer to obtain a circuit wiring layer 3;

[0057] A green oil layer 4 is formed on the surface of the circuit wiring layer 3, and the green oil layer 4 avoids the preset positions of the circuit components;

[0058] Place the substrate 1 on a carrier (the carrier is made of ceramic material with a high temperature resistance of more than 200°C), apply solder paste to the preset positions of the circuit component assemblies, and then mount the circuit component assemblies to their preset positions using an automatic die bonding device (the high-power component 502 is first mounted on the silver-plated copper heat sink 505 using a soft solder die bonding machine);
