Benefits of technology

This approach reduces substrate size and material costs, prevents resin flashes, and simplifies the mold-releasing process, enabling more efficient fabrication and reducing material waste, thus enhancing mass production capabilities.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, an additional portion of 1.2 mm that is to be eventually cut off is included respectively in the length and width of the substrate 70, which thus increases materials required for the substrate 70 and also increases the overall fabrication cost of the package (the substrate cost is generally more than 60% of the overall cost of the flip-chip package).
This causes not only a waste of utilization of the substrate but also 15˜20% increase in the overall cost.
The above problem leads to significant difficulty in the fabrication of the FCBGA semiconductor package.
Although the molding process of forming the encapsulant 73 is an essential step for fabricating the package, it would effectively increase the size and material cost of the substrate 70 and is not advantageous for mass production.
This thus sets a bottleneck in development of the FCBGA semiconductor package.

first preferred embodiment

[0032]FIGS. 1A to 1K show a method for fabricating semiconductor packages according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. First referring to FIG. 1A, a plurality of build-up substrates 10 (only one is shown) each carrying a chip 20 thereon are prepared. The length and width of each of the substrates 10 are approximately equal to predetermined length and width of the final semiconductor package 1 (shown in FIG. 1K) respectively. In this embodiment, the predetermined dimensions of the semiconductor package 1 after singulation are 31 mm×31 mm in length and width, such that the length and width of the substrate 10 are also sized as 31 mm×31 mm, and a diagonal of the substrate 10 is 43.84 mm long as shown in FIG. 1B. Referring to FIG. 1C, a substrate carrier 15 having a plurality of rectangular openings 16 (only one is shown) is prepared. As shown in FIG. 1D, a protruded portion 12 is provided at each corner position of each of the openings 16, and a distance between ...

second preferred embodiment

[0041] Apart from the carrier 15 being made of the organic insulating material such as FR4, FR5 or BT, a metal carrier having a metal layer plated on a surface thereof can also be used in the present invention. The metal layer is made of a material that is poorly adhesive to the encapsulant 32. FIGS. 4A to 4J show a method for fabricating semiconductor packages by using the metal carrier. In this embodiment, the predetermined dimensions of the semiconductor package 1, the dimensions of the substrate 10 and the size of openings 46 of the metal carrier 45 are all consistent with those in the foregoing first embodiment. Only the material used for the carrier 45 and some of the fabrication processes in this embodiment differ from those of the first embodiment.

third preferred embodiment

[0046] In the foregoing embodiments, the molding process is performed to allow the encapsulant 32 to encapsulate the chip 20 (flip chip) and solder bumps for electrically connecting the flip chip 20 to the substrate 10. However, in this third embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, an underfilling process is carried out to use an underfill material 51 such as epoxy resin to encapsulate the solder bumps 50 and fill a gap between the flip chip 20 and the substrate 10 prior to the molding process. This can further enhance the mechanical strength of the solder bumps 50 and electrical performances of the semiconductor package 1.

Abstract

A method for positioning a semiconductor component is disclosed. The method includes providing the semiconductor component and a carrier, the carrier having a plurality of openings, a protruded portion being provided at each corner position of each of the openings and extended toward a center of the opening, a distance between two diagonal protruded portions of the opening being slightly larger than that between two diagonal corners of the semiconductor component; and positioning the semiconductor component in the openings of the carrier via the protruded portions provided at each corner position of each of the openings.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to methods for fabricating semiconductor packages, and more particularly, to a fabrication method of ball grid array semiconductor packages using a substrate carrier. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A flip-chip ball grid array (FCBGA) semiconductor package is a package structure comprising both a flip chip and a ball grid array, wherein an active surface of at least one chip is electrically connected to a surface of a substrate via a plurality of solder bumps in a flip-chip manner, and a plurality of solder balls are implanted on an opposite surface of the substrate to serve as input / output (I / O) connections. This package structure yields significant advantages to effectively decrease the package size, reduce resistance and improve electrical performances without using conventional bonding wires, thereby preventing decay of signals during transmission. Therefore, the FCBGA semiconductor package has become a mainstream pa...
