[0061] Embodiment 1
[0062] Figure 1 、 2 shows the structure of a semiconductor package 1 in this embodiment. The semiconductor package 1 includes a plurality of interposers 123, a plurality of chips 11, a plurality of first connectors 14, a plurality of second connectors 17, and a redistribution layer 13. The plurality of first connectors 14 and the plurality of interposers 123 are respectively fixed on both sides of the redistribution layer 13. The plurality of chips 11 are fixed on the first connectors 14. The second connectors 17 are disposed on a side of the interposer 123 facing away from the redistribution layer 13. Two chips 11 can be electrically connected to each other through the redistribution layer 13, and the chip 11 is electrically connected to the second connector 17 through the first connector 14, the redistribution layer 13, and the interposer 123 connected in sequence. The second connector 17 serves as a pin of the semiconductor package 1 and can be connected to other electronic devices.
[0063] In this embodiment, the redistribution layer 13 (Redistribution Layer, RDL) is a sheet-like structure. The redistribution layer 13 includes a first surface 133 and a second surface 134 opposite to the first surface 133. The first surface 133 and the second surface 134 are parallel to each other. The redistribution layer 13 is a multi-layer dielectric conductive layer stacked in sequence, and each layer of dielectric conductive layer includes an insulating substrate layer and a metal layer 131 embedded in the insulating substrate layer. The insulating substrate layer can be made of materials such as silicon nitride, silicon oxide, or polyimide. The metal layer 131 can be made of metal materials, such as metals and their alloys including aluminum, gold, copper, tungsten, titanium, etc. The metal layers 131 of adjacent two layers of dielectric conductive layers are in contact with each other to form a conductive path, which can electrically conduct between the first surface 133 and the second surface 134 of the redistribution layer 13. Also, by reasonably arranging the patterns of the metal layers 131 in each layer of dielectric conductive layer, a complex three-dimensional circuit layout can be formed in the redistribution layer 13. The redistribution layer 13 can simultaneously achieve electrical conduction between a specific point on the first surface 133 and another specific point on the first surface 133, between a specific point on the first surface 133 and a specific point on the second surface 134, and between a specific point on the second surface 134 and another specific point on the second surface 134.
[0064] The first connector 14 is a conductor. The first connector 14 can be a metal ball or a metal bump, preferably a tin ball, a solder bump, or a solder columnar bump (Copper pillar bump, CPB). The plurality of first connectors 14 are distributed on the first surface 133 of the redistribution layer 13, and adjacent two first connectors 14 are separated from each other. The first connector 14 is fixedly connected to the metal layer 131 on the first surface 133 of the redistribution layer 13 to form an electrical connection with the redistribution layer 13.
[0065] The shape of the chip 11 can be a square chip 11. Bond pads are provided on one side of the chip 11, and the bond pads are the input / output interfaces of the chip 11 to the outside. The thickness of each chip 11 can be the same. The number of chips 11 can be two. The chips 11 are all laid flat on a plurality of first connectors 14, and the side of the chip 11 with the bond pads faces the first connectors 14. The first connectors 14 are connected to the bond pads of the chip 11, and the first connectors 14 are connected to the bond pads one by one. A fixed connection is formed between the chip 11 and the first connectors 14, and a plurality of first connectors 14 support one chip 11. The chip 11 is preferably parallel to the first surface 133 of the redistribution layer 13, and the distance between each chip 11 and the first surface 133 is the same, so that the chip 11 and the redistribution layer 13 can be interconnected by using first connectors 14 of a unified size. Adjacent chips 11 are separated from each other. Adjacent chips 11 can be electrically connected to each other through the first connectors 14 and the redistribution layer 13.
[0066] The interposer 123 includes an interposer substrate 125 and through-silicon vias 122 (TSV) provided in the interposer substrate 125. The interposer substrate 125 can be made of an insulating material such as silicon or silicon oxide. The interposer substrate 125 is configured as a plate-like structure, preferably a square plate. The through-silicon vias 122 vertically penetrate the interposer substrate 125. The through-silicon vias 122 are conductive channels penetrating the interposer 123. The through-silicon vias 122 can be metal wires extending from one side of the interposer 123 to the opposite side, and the metal wires can be gold wires, copper wires or aluminum wires. A plurality of interposers 123 are distributed on the second surface 134 of the redistribution layer 13 and are fixedly connected to the redistribution layer 13. The through-silicon vias 122 of each interposer 123 are connected to the redistribution layer 13 and form an electrical connection with the redistribution layer 13. Adjacent interposers 123 are separated from each other so that a groove 124 is formed between adjacent interposers 123. The side surface of the groove 124 close to the redistribution layer 13 is in direct contact with the second surface 134 of the redistribution layer 13
[0067] The second connector 17 is a conductor. The second connector 17 can be a metal ball or a metal bump, preferably a solder ball, a solder bump or a solder columnar bump. The second connector 17 is provided on the side of the interposer 123 facing away from the redistribution layer 13 and is connected to the through-silicon vias 122 one by one. In this way, an electrical connection is formed between the through-silicon vias 122 and the second connector 17.
[0068] The chip 11 can be electrically connected to the second connector 17 through the first connector 14, the redistribution layer 13, and the interposer 123 in sequence. The second connector 17 can be used as an external interface of the semiconductor package 1 to connect to other electronic devices (such as a printed circuit board). At the same time, since a groove 124 is formed between two adjacent interposers 123, the groove 124 is an expansion joint of the interposer substrate composed of multiple interposers 123, and can become narrower or wider with the thermal expansion and contraction of the semiconductor package 1 during the semiconductor package manufacturing process, effectively avoiding the cracking of the semiconductor package 1 due to the warping of the interposer substrate during the manufacturing process.
[0069] Further, multiple interposers 123 can be cut from an interposer plate 12 covering the second surface 134 of the redistribution layer 13. In this way, the redistribution layer 13 can be fabricated on the interposer plate 12 first, and the chip 11 can be connected to the redistribution layer 13 using the first connector 14. The interposer plate 12 can be etched and split into multiple interposers 123, and the etching method used can be dry etching or chemical etching.
[0070] Further, the redistribution layer 13 further includes an etch stop layer 132. The etch stop layer 132 is disposed on the side of the redistribution layer 13 close to the interposer 123, covering the groove 124 between two adjacent interposers 123. Before etching, the etch stop layer 132 is arranged along the dividing line of the interposer plate 12 to block the etching medium and prevent the etching medium from etching the redistribution layer 13 when etching the interposer plate 12.. The etch stop layer 132 can be a metal layer, such as metals like copper, aluminum, and gold.
[0071] Further, the chip 11, the interposer plate 12, and the interposer 123 are all configured as square plates. The chip 11 includes a first side and a second side adjacent to the first side.
[0072] The interposer 123 includes a third side and a fourth side adjacent to the third side. The third side of the interposer 123 is parallel to the first side of the chip 11. The fourth side of the interposer 123 is parallel to the second side of the chip 11.
[0073] The sum of the side lengths of the third sides of multiple interposers is greater than twice the side length of the first side, and the sum of the side lengths of the fourth sides of multiple interposers is greater than twice the side length of the second side, so that the semiconductor package 1 becomes an RDL fan-out type.
[0074] The side length of the third side is less than or equal to 1.2 times the side length of the first side. The side length of the fourth side is less than or equal to 1.2 times the side length of the second side. More preferably, the value range of the side length of the third side is 0.2 to 0.8 times the side length of the first side, and the value range of the side length of the fourth side is 0.2 to 0.8 times the side length of the second side.
[0075] After being set up like this, the area of a single interposer 123 is small, and the grooves 124 are distributed more densely, which can better release stress.
[0076] Furthermore, multiple interposers 123 are arranged in a matrix on the second surface 134 of the redistribution layer 13. In this way, both the interposers 123 and their grooves 124 are distributed more evenly, and the acting forces between the interposers 123 and the redistribution layer 13 are also distributed more evenly. When cutting the interposer 12, one or more slits can be set along a direction parallel to one side of the interposer 12 and one or more slits can be set along a direction parallel to the other side of the interposer 12, so that the grooves 124 of the finally cut interposer 12 extend in a grid pattern.
[0077] When cutting, align the slit with the gap between two adjacent chips 11, so that a finally formed groove 124 is aligned with the gap, which makes two adjacent chips 11 relatively independent and reduces the mutual influence between two adjacent chips 11.
[0078] Furthermore, the semiconductor package 1 further includes a first molding 15. The first molding 15 is used to encapsulate the redistribution layer 13, the first connecting member 14, and the chips 11 together. The first molding 15 can be formed by a plastic encapsulation process. The first molding 15 covers all the chips 11 and fills the gap between the chips 11 and the redistribution layer 13. One side of the chip 11 facing away from the first connecting member 14 can be exposed from the first molding 15, so that the chip 11 dissipates heat better.
[0079] The first molding 15 includes a first molding layer 151. The first molding layer 151 is filled between the chips 11 and the redistribution layer 13. A plurality of first through holes 153 for accommodating the first connecting member 14 are provided on the first molding layer 151, and the first connecting member 14 is located in the first through holes 153. The first molding 15 encapsulates and fixes the chips 11, the first connecting member 14, and the redistribution layer 13 together, strengthening the connection structure between the chips 11, the first connecting member 14, and the redistribution layer 13.
[0080] The first molding 15 further includes a second molding layer 152. The second molding layer 152 extends from the first molding layer 151 towards the chips 11 and fills the gaps between the chips 11. The second molding layer 152 is fixedly connected to the first molding layer 151 and the chips 11 and fixes two adjacent chips 11 together, further enhancing the structure of the entire semiconductor package 1.
[0081] Furthermore, the first molding layer 151 and the second molding layer 152 can be an integrally formed structure, which is formed by one-time injection molding with the same molding compound. The molding compound can be a molding sealant (epoxy resin molding compound).
[0082] As an alternative, the first molding layer 151 and the second molding layer 152 can be formed by two injection moldings using two different molding compounds respectively. The first molding layer 151 can be made of underfill, and the second molding layer 152 can be made of molding compound.
[0083] Furthermore, the semiconductor package 1 further includes a second molded part 16. The second molded part 16 includes a third molding layer 161. The third molding layer 161 covers one side of all the interposers 123 facing away from the redistribution layer 13, and covers the openings of the grooves 124 between two adjacent interposers 123. A plurality of second through holes 163 for passing through the second connecting member 17 are provided on the third molding layer 161, and the second connecting member 17 is disposed in the second through holes 163. The third molding layer 161 can be a passivation layer or a molding compound layer.
[0084] The third molding layer 161 connects the interposers 123 to each other, and further relatively fixes the second connecting member 17 to the interposers 123, so that the structural strength of the semiconductor package 1 is greater.
[0085] Furthermore, the second molded part 16 further includes a filling part 162. The filling part 162 fills the grooves 124 between the interposers 123. The filling part 162 is also connected to the third molding layer 161. The material of the filling part 162 can be a molding compound, and can be a molding compound. The material of the filling part 162 is preferably the same as that of the first molding layer 151.
[0086] The filling part 162 fills the grooves 124 between the interposers 123, so that the interposers 123 are connected to each other, further increasing the structural strength of the interposers 123. At the same time, the filling part 162 also supports the redistribution layer 13. Since the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material used for the filling part 162 is similar to or the same as that of the first molded part 15, filling the grooves 124 between the interposers 123 will not reduce the function of the grooves 124 as expansion joints.
[0087] Referring to Figure 3 , this embodiment also provides a manufacturing method of the semiconductor package 1. The above semiconductor package 1 can be manufactured by using this manufacturing method. The manufacturing method includes:
[0088] Step S110: Referring to Figure 4 , a redistribution layer 13 is provided on the interposer 12 such that one end of the through-silicon via 122 in the interposer 12 is connected to the redistribution layer 13.
[0089] The interposer 12 is preferably a silicon interposer substrate. A through-silicon via 122 extending perpendicular to the interposer 12 is provided inside the interposer 12. During the formation of the redistribution layer 13, the metal pattern on the redistribution layer 13 is connected to one end of the through-silicon via 122, and an etch stop layer 132 is formed on the surface of the interposer 12.
[0090] Step S120: Refer to Figure 5 , and connect the redistribution layer 13 to multiple chips 11 by using a plurality of first connectors 14.
[0091] In this step, the flip chip technology can be used to connect the chip 11 to the redistribution layer 13 through the molten first connectors 14.
[0092] Step S130: Refer to Figure 6 , and fill the molding compound to form a first molded part 15 that encapsulates the plurality of first connectors 14, the multiple chips 11, and the redistribution layer 13 together.
[0093] By using an injection molding process, the molten molding compound is injected into the chamber accommodating the first connectors 14, the multiple chips 11, and the redistribution layer 13 for encapsulation. After cooling, the molding compound solidifies to form the first molded part 15 that connects the first connectors 14, the chips 11, and the redistribution layer 13 together.
[0094] In this step, a first molding layer 151 filled between the chip 11 and the redistribution layer 13 can be formed first. After the first molding layer 151 solidifies, a second molding layer 152 that fills the gaps between the chips 11 can be formed on the first molding layer 151; alternatively, the first molding layer 151 and the second molding layer 152 can be formed simultaneously to form an integrally molded first molded part 15.
[0095] Step S140: Grind the first molded part 15 to expose a part of the surface of the chip 11.
[0096] In this step, a part of the first molded part 15 covering the side of the chip 11 facing away from the first connector 14 is ground until the chip 11 is exposed.
[0097] Step S150: Refer to Figure 7 , and remove one end of the interposer 12 facing away from the redistribution layer 13 to expose the other end of the through-silicon via 122 facing away from the redistribution layer 13.
[0098] In this step, one end of the interposer 12 facing away from the redistribution layer 13 can be ground to grind off a part of the interposer substrate until the through-silicon via 122 is exposed.
[0099] Step S160: Refer to Figure 8, the interposer 12 is cut to form a plurality of separated interposer elements 123, and a groove 124 is formed between two adjacent interposer elements 123.
[0100] In this step, the method of cutting the interposer 12 can be an etching method, which can be a dry etching method or a chemical etching method. Etch from the side of the interposer 12 facing away from the redistribution layer 13 towards the redistribution layer 13, and stop etching when reaching the redistribution layer 13. The surface of the redistribution layer 13 is preferably provided with an etch stop layer 132 to control the etching depth and avoid damaging the redistribution layer 13 due to etching. When cutting, the slit on the interposer 12 is aligned with the etch stop layer 132, so that the etch stop layer 132 can block the etching of the redistribution layer 13. After cutting, a groove 124 is formed between two adjacent interposer elements 123, and the etch stop layer 132 covers the groove 124.
[0101] Step S170: Refer to Figure 9 , fill the molding compound to form a second molded part 16 that encapsulates the plurality of interposer elements 123 together.
[0102] In this step, the molten molding compound can be injected into the chamber containing the redistribution layer 13 and the interposer elements 123. After the molding compound completely fills the groove 124 between the interposer elements, it is cooled and solidified to form the second molded part 16 filled between the grooves 124 of the interposer elements 123.
[0103] In another embodiment, this step can be replaced by directly forming a conformal passivation layer covering the plurality of interposer elements 123 on the side of the plurality of interposer elements 123 facing away from the redistribution layer 13.
[0104] Step S180: Refer to Figure 10 , open a second through hole 163 in the second molded part 16 so that the end of the through-silicon via 122 facing away from the redistribution layer 13 is exposed.
[0105] In this embodiment, after the second molded part 16 is formed, the second molded part 16 blocks one end of the through-silicon via 122 facing away from the redistribution layer 13. It is necessary to first open a second through hole 163 in the second molded part 16. The second through hole 163 can be opened in the second molded part 16 by using a laser drilling method.
[0106] Step S190: Refer to Figure 11 , connect the second connector 17 to the interposer element 123 and connect it to the other end of the through-silicon via 122.
[0107] Heat and melt the second connector 17 and then weld it to the interposer element 123 and connect it to the through-silicon via 122.
[0108] Example 2
[0109] The difference between the semiconductor package 1a in Example 2 and the semiconductor package 1 in Example 1 lies only in the interposer and the groove. For the sake of simplicity, only the structures and shapes of the interposer 123a and the groove 124a in Example 2 are described below.
[0110] Referring to Figure 12 , in this embodiment, the interposer 123a is a right triangle. The interposers 123a are arranged in pairs. The hypotenuses of the two paired interposers 123a are parallel to each other and close to each other, and the groove 124a separates the hypotenuses of these two interposers 123a. There are two pairs of interposers 123a, and the two pairs of interposers 123a are separated from each other by the groove 124a. There are two chips 11a, and each chip 11a can be projected onto a pair of paired interposers 123a.
[0111] Since a groove 124a is formed between two adjacent interposers 123a, and this groove 124a is an expansion joint of the interposer substrate composed of multiple interposers 123a, it can become narrower or wider as the semiconductor package 1a expands and contracts during the manufacturing process of the semiconductor package 1a, effectively avoiding the semiconductor package 1a from cracking due to warping of the interposer substrate during the manufacturing process. At the same time, setting the number of such grooves 124a is small, making it easier to process.
[0112] Example 3
[0113] The difference between the semiconductor package 1b in Example 3 and the semiconductor package 1 in Example 1 lies only in the interposer and the groove. For the sake of simplicity, only the interposer 123b and the groove 124b in Example 3 are described below.
[0114] Referring to Figure 13 , in this embodiment, the interposer 123b is a rectangle. There are four interposers 123b. Two adjacent interposers 123b are separated from each other, and a groove 124b is formed between two adjacent interposers 123b. The grooves 124 are connected to form a "cross" structure. There are two chips 11b, one chip 11b can be projected onto two interposers 123b, and the other chip 11b can be projected onto the other two interposers 123b.
[0115] Since a groove 124b is formed between two adjacent interposers 123b, and the groove 124b serves as an expansion joint for the interposer substrate composed of multiple interposers 123b, it can become narrower or wider along with the thermal expansion and contraction of the semiconductor package 1b during the manufacturing process of the semiconductor package 1b, effectively preventing the semiconductor package 1b from cracking due to warping of the interposer substrate during the manufacturing process. At the same time, with such a setting, the number of grooves 124b is small, making it easier to process.
