Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a semiconductor package and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor package. Background Art

[0002] In general, a semiconductor die can be connected to other devices external to the semiconductor die by a type of package utilizing solder bumps. The solder bumps can be formed by initially forming an underbump metallization layer in contact with the conductive portion of the semiconductor die, and then placing conductive features and solder onto the underbump metallization. A reflow operation can then be performed to shape the solder into a desired shape. The solder can then be placed in physical contact with an external device, and another reflow operation can be performed to engage the solder with the external device. In this manner, a physical and electrical connection can be formed between the semiconductor die and an external device, such as a printed circuit board, another semiconductor die, or the like.

[0003] Different materials used to form the semiconductor die (such as dielectric materials, metallization materials, etch stop layer materials, barrier layer materials, and other materials) may each have a unique coefficient of thermal expansion that is different from another material. This type of mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion causes each of the materials to expand in a different manner when the semiconductor die is heated during later processing, testing, or use. Thus, at high temperatures, there is a mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion that causes stresses to form between the different materials and, thus, between different portions of the semiconductor die. These stresses can cause delamination to occur between the various material layers. This delamination can damage the semiconductor die during the manufacturing process or during its intended use. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention is directed to a device, a semiconductor package, and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor package that can reduce or de-concentrate stress on the sidewalls of a pad pattern caused during thermal cycles of testing, manufacturing, and operation, thereby resulting in a higher yield and more reliable device.

The pad pattern is disposed on the first dielectric layer and includes a pad portion and a peripheral portion. The pad portion is embedded in the first dielectric layer, wherein a lower surface of the pad portion is substantially coplanar with a lower surface of the first dielectric layer. The peripheral portion surrounds the pad portion. The second dielectric layer is disposed on the pad pattern and includes a plurality of extension portions extending through the peripheral portion.

[0006] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a semiconductor package includes an encapsulated semiconductor device and a redistribution structure. The encapsulated semiconductor device includes a semiconductor device encapsulated by an encapsulation material. The redistribution structure extends over the encapsulated semiconductor device and is electrically connected to the semiconductor device. The redistribution structure includes a dielectric layer, a pad pattern, and a plurality of dielectric plugs. The pad pattern is disposed on the dielectric layer, wherein the pad pattern includes at least one pad portion embedded in the dielectric layer, and a lower surface of the pad pattern is substantially coplanar with a lower surface of the dielectric layer away from the encapsulated semiconductor device. A plurality of dielectric plugs extend through the pad pattern and surround the pad portion.

A redistribution structure is formed on a carrier, wherein forming the redistribution structure on the carrier includes the following steps: forming a first dielectric layer on the carrier, wherein the first dielectric layer includes a pad opening; forming a pad pattern on the first dielectric layer, wherein the pad pattern extends into the pad opening and includes a plurality of holes; and forming a second dielectric layer on the pad pattern, wherein the second dielectric layer fills the holes.

Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0050] In addition, for ease of description, terms such as "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. may be used herein to describe one or more similar or different elements or features as illustrated in the figures, and may be used interchangeably depending on the order of existence or the context of description.

[0051] Figures 1 to 10 Cross-sectional views illustrating intermediate stages in the fabrication of semiconductor package structures according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0052] It should be noted that the present disclosure will be described with reference to some embodiments in a specific context, namely an integrated fan-out packaging structure and a method for manufacturing the same. However, the concepts in the present disclosure may also be applied to other semiconductor packages or circuits. According to various embodiments, a device (e.g., a rewiring structure) applicable to a semiconductor package, a semiconductor package structure, and a method for forming a semiconductor package are provided. According to some embodiments, intermediate stages of forming a semiconductor package are described, and variations of some embodiments are discussed. Throughout the various views and illustrative embodiments, similar reference numerals are used to represent similar elements.

[0053] In some embodiments, a semiconductor package (such as shown in FIG. Fig.10 The intermediate stages of the semiconductor package 100 in FIG. 1 are described as follows. Figure 1 , a carrier 200 is provided, and an adhesive layer 210 may be disposed on the carrier 200. In some embodiments, the carrier 200 may include a silicon-based material such as glass, ceramic, or silicon oxide, or other materials such as aluminum oxide, a combination of any of these materials, or the like. The carrier 200 is planar so as to accommodate, for example, a semiconductor device 120 (not shown). Figure 1 But refer to below Figure 5B and Figure 7The present invention relates to the attachment of semiconductor devices to carrier 200 (illustrated and discussed in detail). Adhesive layer 210 may be placed on carrier 200 to assist in the adhesion of an overlying structure (e.g., redistribution structure 110). In one embodiment, adhesive layer 210 may include UV glue that reduces or loses its adhesive properties when exposed to UV light. However, other types of adhesives may also be used, such as pressure-sensitive adhesives, radiation-curable adhesives, light to heat conversion release coatings (LTHC), epoxies, combinations of these adhesives, or the like. Adhesive layer 210 may be placed on carrier 200 in a semi-liquid or gel form that is easily deformable under pressure.

[0054] In some embodiments, a redistribution structure (such as shown in Figure 5 The redistribution structure 110 in the embodiment may be formed on the carrier 200 or on the adhesive layer 210 (if present). The formation of the redistribution structure 110 includes the following steps. Figure 1 , the redistribution structure 110 can be formed by initially forming a first dielectric layer 112 on the carrier 200 or on the adhesive layer 210 (if present). In one embodiment, the first dielectric layer 112 can be polybenzoxazole (PBO), but any suitable material, such as polyimide or a polyimide derivative, can be used instead. The first dielectric layer 112 can be placed using, for example, a spin coating process, but any suitable method and thickness can be used instead. In some embodiments, the first dielectric layer 112 includes a pad opening 1121. The pad opening 1121 can be formed by the first dielectric layer 112 by removing a portion of the first dielectric layer 112 to expose at least a portion of the underlying carrier 200 or the adhesive layer 210 (if present). In some embodiments, the pad opening 1121 can be formed using a suitable photolithography mask and etching process, but any suitable process can be used.

[0055] refer to Figure 2, a pad pattern 114 is formed on the first dielectric layer 112. In some embodiments, the pad pattern 114 is embedded in the pad opening 1121 of the first dielectric layer 112. In other words, the pad pattern 114 extends into the pad opening 1121 and includes a plurality of holes 1143 extending through the pad pattern 114. In some embodiments, the holes 1143 may be configured in the form of a mesh (e.g., a mesh hole). In some embodiments, the pad pattern 114 may be one of the patterns of a redistribution circuit layer formed on the first dielectric layer 112, and the redistribution circuit layer may include more than one pad pattern 114. In one embodiment of forming the redistribution circuit layer using a seed layer, a patterned photoresist, and a plating process, the holes 1143 may be formed simply by not removing the photoresist in those areas where the holes 1143 are needed. In this way, the holes 1143 within the pad pattern 114 are formed together with the rest of the redistribution circuit layer, and no additional process steps are used.

[0056] For example, the pad pattern 114 may be formed by initially forming a seed layer (not shown) by a suitable formation process such as CVD or sputtering. In some embodiments, the seed layer may include Cu, Ti / Cu, TiW / Cu, Ti, CrCu, Ni, Pd, or the like, and may be deposited over the first dielectric layer 112 by, for example, sputtering. A photoresist (also not shown) may be formed to cover a portion of the metal layer 114, and the photoresist may then be patterned to expose those portions of the metal layer 114 where at least one pad portion 1141 and the peripheral portion 1142 are required to be located. Once the photoresist has been formed and patterned, a conductive material such as copper may be formed on the seed layer by a deposition process such as plating. However, when the materials and methods discussed are suitable for forming conductive materials, these materials are merely exemplary. Any other suitable material such as AlCu or Au and any other suitable formation process such as CVD or PVD may alternatively be used to form the pad pattern 114. Once the conductive material has been formed, the patterned photoresist can be removed by a suitable removal process, such as ashing. In addition, after removing the patterned photoresist, the conductive material can be used as a mask to remove those portions of the seed layer covered by the patterned photoresist, such as by a suitable etching process. However, the processes described above are for illustration only. Any suitable process for forming the pad pattern 114 can be used.

[0057] In another embodiment, the pad pattern 114 on the first dielectric layer 112 may be formed as a solid material, and the hole 1143 may be formed after the formation of the remaining portion of the pad pattern 114. In this embodiment, a photoresist mask and etching process may be used, wherein after the pad pattern 114 has been formed, a photoresist is placed over the pad pattern 114 and patterned, and one or more etching processes are used to remove those portions of the pad pattern 114 where the hole 1143 is desired. Any suitable process may be used to form the hole 1143.

[0058] Fig.11 A top view illustrating a pad pattern of a semiconductor package according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig.12 A cross-sectional view of a portion of a rewiring structure of a semiconductor package according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure is illustrated. Fig.11 and Fig.12 And reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the hole 1143 surrounds (eg, surrounds) the pad opening 1121 (shown in FIG. Figure 1 1141 and the peripheral portion 1142. The pad portion 1141 extends into the pad opening 1121, and the peripheral portion 1142 surrounds the pad portion 1141. In some embodiments, the hole 1143 is disposed on the peripheral portion 1142 and extends through the peripheral portion 1142, such as Fig.11 and Fig.12 Therefore, the pad portion 1141 is positioned at the pad opening 1121, and because the pad portion 1141 and the first dielectric layer 112 are both formed on the carrier 200 or the adhesive layer 210 (if present) having a planar top surface, the lower surface of the pad portion 1141 is substantially coplanar with the lower surface of the first dielectric layer 112.

[0059] refer to Figure 3, the second dielectric layer 116 is formed on the pad pattern 114, and the second dielectric layer 116 fills the hole 1143 to form a plurality of dielectric plugs 1161 extending through the pad pattern 114. That is, the second dielectric layer 116 includes a plurality of extension portions 1161 (i.e., dielectric plugs 1161) extending through the peripheral portion 1142. In other words, the hole 1143 is filled with the dielectric material of the second dielectric layer 116. In some embodiments, the dielectric plug 1161 surrounds the pad opening 1121 and extends through the peripheral portion 1142. In some embodiments, the peripheral portion 1142 is disposed on the upper surface of the first dielectric layer 112. The pad portion 1141 is connected to the peripheral portion 1142 and extends from the upper surface of the first dielectric layer 112 to the lower surface of the first dielectric layer 112. In some embodiments, the pad portion 1141 and the peripheral portion 1142 are formed integrally. That is, the pad portion 1141 is directly connected to the peripheral portion 1142 without any borderline therebetween.

[0060] With this arrangement, the pad pattern 114 is fabricated with a hole 1143 passing through the peripheral portion 1142 to reduce the possibility of damage along the sidewalls (eg, as shown in FIG. 1 ) of the pad pattern 114 during thermal cycle testing, further processing, or operation. Fig.12 In other words, by forming the pad portion 114 with the hole 1143 (i.e., the dielectric plug 1161 / extension portion), the pad portion 114 is better able to withstand stresses associated with semiconductor manufacturing, testing, and operating processes. In addition, the hole 1143 can be used to reduce or eliminate delamination or peeling that may occur along the sidewall of the pad portion 114. Such reduction or prevention of delamination and peeling will help prevent defects and increase the overall yield of the manufacturing process of the semiconductor package (e.g., semiconductor package 100). It should be noted that the arrangement of the pad pattern 114 with the hole 1143 can also be applied to any other layer of the rewiring structure 110.

[0061] In some embodiments, the total layout area of ​​the hole 1143 may be approximately 3% to approximately 60% of the total layout area of ​​the pad portion 1141 and the peripheral portion 1142. As used herein, the term "layout area" refers to the total layout area of ​​the hole 1143 from a top view (e.g., Fig.11 , Fig.14 , Fig.16 as well as Fig. 20The area occupied by the structure of interest (e.g., hole 1143, pad portion 1141, and / or peripheral portion 1142) from the top view shown in FIG. 1144. For hole 1143, the term "layout area" may be the cross-sectional area of ​​hole 1143. In some embodiments, because the thickness of hole 1143 and pad pattern 114 is substantially the same or at least similar, the sum of the volume of hole 1143 is substantially 3% to 60% of the sum of the volume of pad portion 1141 and peripheral portion 1142. At this ratio, hole 1143 can reduce the high sidewall peeling stress of pad pattern 114 and increase the contact area between pad pattern 114 and dielectric layer 112, dielectric layer 114, which reduces the risk of delamination of pad pattern 114. In some embodiments, each of holes 1143 (i.e., dielectric plug 1161 / extension portion) may be square, rectangular, circular, elliptical, triangular, or irregular in shape. Any suitable shape may be used to reduce the sidewall peeling stress of the pad pattern 114 .

[0062] In one embodiment, the pad opening 1121 is circular in shape. In such an embodiment, the holes 1143 may be arranged adjacent to the outer circumference (e.g., the peripheral portion 1142) of the pad pattern 114 and configured as a portion of a non-continuous circle. In addition, to ensure that the peripheral portion 1142 remains physically and electrically connected to the pad portion 1141, the connecting portion 1144 of the peripheral portion 1142 separates the holes 1143 from each other.

[0063] Reference Figure 4 , after the second dielectric layer 116 is formed, one or more rewiring circuit layers and one or more dielectric layers may be alternately formed on the carrier 200 so that the rewiring structure 110 is formed on the carrier 200. In some embodiments, the rewiring structure 110 may be formed by the following operations: continuously depositing a conductive layer; patterning the conductive layer to form a rewiring circuit; partially covering the rewiring circuit; and filling the gaps between the rewiring circuits with a dielectric layer, etc. The material of the rewiring circuit (including the pad pattern 114) may include a metal or a metal alloy, including aluminum, copper, tungsten and / or alloys thereof. The dielectric layer (including the dielectric layer 112, the dielectric layer 116) may be formed of a dielectric material, such as an oxide, a nitride, a carbide, a carbonitride, a combination thereof and / or multiple layers thereof. However, the number of dielectric layers and the number of rewiring circuit layers are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0064] In some embodiments, an encapsulated semiconductor device (eg, as shown in FIG. Figure 5B The encapsulated semiconductor device 125' is shown in Figure 7In some embodiments, encapsulated semiconductor device 125' / encapsulated semiconductor device 125 may be a reconstituted wafer including a plurality of semiconductor devices 120 encapsulated by encapsulation material 130. With this arrangement, a plurality of semiconductor packages may be formed simultaneously for batch production. For the sake of brevity and clarity, Figures 1 to 10 The manufacturing process of one of the semiconductor packages (such as semiconductor package 100) is described in FIG. Figure 5 1 and 2, one of the semiconductor devices 120 disposed on the redistribution structure 110 is illustrated. The formation of the encapsulated semiconductor device 125' / encapsulated semiconductor device 125 can be described as follows.

[0065] Optionally, a plurality of through holes (not shown) may be provided on the carrier 200, and the through holes may surround at least one device region where the semiconductor device 120 / semiconductor device 120' is to be provided. In the present embodiment, the through holes are formed on the redistribution structure 110 positioned on the carrier 200 and electrically connected to the redistribution structure, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the through holes may be pre-formed and then placed on the carrier 200.

[0066] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, at least one semiconductor device 120' (one semiconductor device 120' is illustrated, but not limited thereto) may be disposed on the carrier 200 and within or between the through holes (if any). Figure 5 , the semiconductor package 100 may include one semiconductor device 120'. In other embodiments, the semiconductor package 100 may include more than one semiconductor device as a group, and the through hole may surround the group of semiconductor devices. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 120' is electrically connected to the redistribution structure 110. In one embodiment, the semiconductor device 120' may be mounted on the redistribution structure 110 using, for example, surface mounting technology through a variety of electrical terminals 123 such as conductive bumps and a variety of solder materials 126, but any suitable mounting method may be used instead.

[0067] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 120' may be a logic device die including logic circuits therein. In some exemplary embodiments, the semiconductor device 120' is a die designed for mobile applications and may include, for example, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) die and a transceiver (TRX) die. It should be noted that more or fewer semiconductor devices 120' may be placed above the rewiring structure 110 and flush with each other.

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, each of the semiconductor devices 120' may include a substrate 121, a plurality of active devices (not shown), and a plurality of contact pads 122. The contact pads 122 (e.g., copper pads) may be formed on an active surface (e.g., a lower surface) of the semiconductor device 120' and electrically coupled to the contact pads 122 on the substrate 121. The substrate 121 may include an active layer of a doped or undoped bulk silicon or silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. Generally, an SOI substrate includes a semiconductor material layer such as silicon, germanium, silicon germanium, SOI, silicon germanium on insulator (SGOI), or a combination thereof. Other substrates that may be used include multi-layer substrates, gradient substrates, or hybrid orientation substrates. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 120' may be a die that may contain a plurality of transistors and other active and passive devices that perform a variety of electrical functions. Active devices may be formed in or on substrate 121 using any suitable method.

[0069] In some embodiments, a material such as a polymer is then applied between the semiconductor device 120' and the rewiring structure 110 as an underfill 124. The underfill 124 is typically a polymer, such as an epoxy. As heat is applied to the semiconductor device 120' and / or the rewiring structure 110, capillary action can be used to cause the underfill 124 to flow between the semiconductor device 120' and the rewiring structure 110. When formed from a material such as a polymer epoxy, the underfill 124 is then typically cured, thereby hardening the polymer. The cured underfill 124 surrounds the electrical terminal 123 and is used to protect the electrical terminal 123 and the connection between the semiconductor device 120' and the rewiring structure 110, as well as to support the semiconductor device 120' on the rewiring structure 110.

[0070] Reference Figure 5AIn some embodiments, the semiconductor device 120' and the through-hole (if any) on the redistribution structure 110 are encapsulated by the encapsulation material 130'. In other words, the encapsulation material 130' is formed on the redistribution structure 110 to encapsulate the semiconductor device 120' and the through-hole (if any). In some embodiments, the encapsulation material 130' is in contact with the redistribution structure 110. The encapsulation material 130' may include a molding compound resin, such as polyimide, PPS, PEEK, PES, a heat-resistant crystalline resin, a combination of these resins, or the like. The encapsulation of the semiconductor device 120' and the through-hole (if any) may be performed in a molding device (not shown). The encapsulation material 130' may be placed in a mold cavity of the molding device, or may be injected into the mold cavity through an injection port.

[0071] Once the encapsulation material 130' is placed into the mold cavity so that the encapsulation material 130' encapsulates the semiconductor device 120' and the through-holes (if present), the encapsulation material 130' can be cured to harden the encapsulation material 130' for optimal protection. In addition, an initiator and / or a catalyst can be included in the encapsulation material 130' to better control the curing process. In some embodiments, the top surface of the encapsulation material 130' can be higher than the back surface of the semiconductor device 120'. That is, the encapsulation material 130' covers the back surface of the semiconductor device 120'.

[0072] Reference Figure 5B , a thinning process may be performed on the encapsulation material 130' to expose or thin the back surface of the semiconductor device 120'. The thinning process may be, for example, a mechanical grinding or CMP process, in which chemical etchants and abrasives are used to react the encapsulation material 130' with the semiconductor device 120' and grind away the encapsulation material and the semiconductor device. The resulting structure is shown in Figure 5B After the thinning process is performed, Figure 5B As shown in , the back surface of the semiconductor device 120 is substantially flush with the upper surface of the encapsulation material 130. However, while the CMP process described above is presented as an illustrative embodiment, it is not intended to be limiting. Any other suitable removal process may be used alternatively to thin the encapsulation material 130 and the semiconductor device 120. For example, a series of chemical etches may be used alternatively.

In other words, in an alternative embodiment, Figure 5 Follow the steps shown in the following order: Figure 6 Steps shown instead of execution Figure 5A and Figure 5B The steps shown. The substrate 140 can be mounted on the rewiring structure 110 by surface mounting technology. In some embodiments, the substrate 140 can be, for example, a doped or undoped silicon substrate, or an active layer of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, and can act as an insert used as an intermediate substrate. However, the substrate 140 can alternatively be a glass substrate, a ceramic substrate, a polymer substrate, or any other substrate that can provide suitable protection and / or interconnection functions. These materials and any other suitable materials can alternatively be used for the substrate 140. In other embodiments, the substrate 140 can be a semiconductor device, a semiconductor package, a heat sink, or any combination thereof. The conductive bonding member 142 connected to the rewiring structure 110 can be, for example, a solder ball formed by reflow. However, a copper column or a gold column can also be used as a conductive bonding member 142 by reflowing with a soldering material.

In some embodiments, the encapsulation material 130 may be an underfill, which is typically a polymer, such as an epoxy resin.

[0076] Throughout this description, we will include Figure 7The resulting structure of the semiconductor device 120, substrate 140, conductive bonding member 142, and encapsulation material 130 shown in the figure is referred to as an encapsulated semiconductor device 125, which may have a wafer form in the process. Therefore, in the encapsulated semiconductor device 125, the semiconductor device 120 is mounted on the rewiring structure 110, and the substrate 140 is mounted above the semiconductor device 120 through the conductive bonding member 142. The encapsulation material 130 encapsulates the semiconductor device 120 and the conductive bonding member 142, and fills the gap between the semiconductor device 120 and the substrate 140. The rewiring structure 110 is disposed above the encapsulated semiconductor device 125 and is electrically connected to the semiconductor device 120. Throughout the description, the semiconductor device 125 will be included as follows. Figure 7 The resulting structure of encapsulated semiconductor devices 125 and redistribution structure 110 shown in FIG. 1 is referred to as a reconstituted wafer.

[0077] In some embodiments, after the encapsulated semiconductor device 125 is formed on the redistribution structure 110, another carrier 300 may be disposed on the substrate 140. In other words, the carrier 300 and the carrier 200 are disposed on two opposite sides of the reconstructed wafer, respectively. In some embodiments, the reconstructed wafer with the carrier 200 may be flipped over and disposed on the carrier 300 by attaching the substrate 140 to the carrier 300. The carrier 300 carrying the reconstructed wafer with the carrier 200 may further include a frame structure (not shown), which may be a metal ring intended to provide support and stability to the structure during and after the sequential peeling process. In some embodiments, the reconstructed wafer with the carrier 200 is attached to the frame structure using, for example, UV tape, but any other suitable adhesive or attachment may be used instead.

[0078] Reference Figure 8 , removing (e.g., peeling off) the carrier 200 from the reconstituted wafer on the carrier 300. The carrier 200 may be peeled off using, for example, a thermal process to change the adhesive properties of the adhesive layer 210. In one embodiment, an energy source such as an ultraviolet (UV) laser, a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, or an infrared (IR) laser is used to irradiate and heat the adhesive layer 210 until the adhesive layer 210 loses at least some of its adhesive properties. Once performed, then Figure 8 As shown in FIG. , the carrier 200 and the adhesive layer 210 can be physically separated and removed from the redistribution structure 110 of the reconstructed wafer.

[0079] After removing the carrier 200, the lower surface of the pad pattern 114 is exposed for subsequent electrical connection. In some embodiments, the lower surface of the pad pattern 114 is substantially coplanar with the lower surface of the dielectric layer 112. In such embodiments, the lower surface of the pad pattern 114 is the lower surface of the pad portion 1141, and the lower surface of the dielectric layer 112 is the surface away from the encapsulated semiconductor device 125.

[0080] Reference Fig. 9 ,like Fig. 9 As shown in , the resulting structure after removing the carrier 200 can then be flipped. Subsequently, at least one electronic component (eg, a plurality of electrical connectors 150 and / or at least one passive device 160) can be mounted on the pad portion 1141 (now Fig. 9 On the lower surface of the electrical connector 150 (facing upward). In some embodiments, the electrical connector 150 includes a solder bump. In some embodiments, the electrical connector 150 may further include a metal column. The passive device 160 may be an integrated passive device (IPD). In an embodiment of the present invention, the rewiring structure 110 includes a plurality of pad patterns 114. Some of the pad portions 1141 of the pad pattern 114 are mounted with the electrical connector 150, and at least one of the pad portions 1141 of the pad pattern 114 is mounted with the passive device 160. With this arrangement, the pad portion 1141 can act as an under bump metallurgy (UBM) layer, and thus an additional UBM layer can be omitted. In some embodiments, the formation of the electrical connector 150 may include placing a solder ball on the pad portion 1141, and then reflowing the solder ball. In an alternative embodiment, the formation of the electrical connector 150 may include performing a plating process to form a solder material on the pad portion 1141, and then reflowing the plated solder material. For example, the electrical connector 150 can be a contact bump, such as a microbump or a controlled collapse chip connection (C4) bump, and can include a material such as tin or other suitable materials such as silver or copper. In one embodiment in which the electrical connector 150 is a tin solder bump, the electrical connector 150 can be formed by initially forming a tin layer by any suitable method, such as evaporation, electroplating, printing, solder transfer, ball planting, etc. Once the tin layer has been formed on the structure, reflow can be performed to form the material into the desired bump shape. In some embodiments, the electrical connector 150 can be a metal column, and the formation of the metal column can include plating using a photoresist. The passive device 160 can be manufactured using standard wafer manufacturing techniques such as thin film processing and photolithography processing, and can be mounted on another pad portion 1141 by, for example, flip chip bonding.

[0082] Reference Fig.10 , peeling the carrier 300 from the substrate 140 of the semiconductor package. In one embodiment, the carrier 300 is peeled from the substrate 140 by, for example, irradiating the UV adhesive on the carrier 300 with UV radiation, and once the UV adhesive has lost or reduced its adhesiveness, the substrate 140 can be physically separated from the carrier 300.

[0083] In some embodiments, the semiconductor package is in the form of a wafer during the process. Therefore, once the carrier 300 is peeled off, a singulation process is performed on the semiconductor package in the form of a wafer to form a plurality of semiconductor packages 100. In one embodiment, the singulation process can be performed by using a saw blade (not shown) to cut through the semiconductor package in the form of a wafer, thereby separating one portion (for example, including a semiconductor device 120 and a substrate 140) from another portion to form a plurality of semiconductor packages 100. Fig.10 . However, as one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate, using a saw blade to singulate the semiconductor packages 100 is merely an illustrative embodiment and is not intended to be limiting. Alternative methods for singulating the semiconductor packages 100 may alternatively be used, such as using one or more etches to separate the semiconductor packages 100. These methods and any other suitable methods may alternatively be used to singulate the semiconductor packages 100. In the present embodiment, each of the semiconductor packages 100 may be an integrated fan-out package.

[0084] Therefore, by forming the pad pattern 114 of the rewiring structure 110 of the semiconductor package 100 with the holes 1143 as described herein, a more reliable device can be obtained. Specifically, by forming the holes 1143 as described in any of the embodiments herein, the stress on the sidewalls of the pad pattern 114 caused during thermal cycles of the testing, manufacturing and operation processes can be reduced or made less concentrated. In this way, delamination, peeling and cracking that may otherwise be caused by these stresses can be reduced or eliminated, resulting in a greater yield and a more reliable device.
