[0037] Common reference numbers are used throughout the drawings and detailed description to indicate the same or similar components. Embodiments of the present application will be readily understood by the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0038] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the provided subject matter. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below to simplify the present disclosure. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, in the following description, the formation of a first feature over or on a second feature can include embodiments in which the first and second features are formed in direct contact, and can also include embodiments in which additional features can be formed between the first and second features, such that the first and second features do not directly contact. In addition, the present disclosure can repeat reference numerals and / or letters in various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or configurations discussed.
[0039] To comply with the specification of increasing functionality, the number of devices integrated in a semiconductor package structure should be increased. Accordingly, the power density and the number of heat sources are increased, and the thermal resistance is relatively large. In addition, it is difficult to dissipate heat generated by the devices at the center of the semiconductor package structure. To solve the above problems, in some comparative embodiments, a fan is provided. The fan is attached to the semiconductor package structure to dissipate heat at the periphery of the semiconductor package structure through air flow. However, such a fan can not be able to dissipate heat generated by the devices at the center of the semiconductor package structure. In some comparative embodiments, a thermal interface material (TIM) is interposed between the devices and the package substrate. However, the temperature of the devices at the center of the semiconductor package structure can not be greatly reduced.
[0040] At least some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a semiconductor package structure having a highly improved heat dissipation efficiency. In some embodiments, the semiconductor package structure includes a package substrate having a plurality of hollow through-holes for dissipating heat generated by semiconductor dies in the semiconductor package structure.
[0041] Figure 1An exploded perspective view of an electronic device 1 according to some embodiments of the disclosure is illustrated. The electronic device 1 includes a semiconductor package structure 2, a first elastic layer 12, an intermediate block 14, a second layer 16, a main substrate 18, a heat dissipation device 3, and a plurality of U-shaped tubes 4.
[0042] Figure 2 An exploded perspective view of a semiconductor package structure 2 is illustrated. Figure 1 An exploded perspective view of a semiconductor package structure 2 is illustrated. Figure 3 An exploded perspective view of a semiconductor package structure 2 is illustrated. Figure 2 A partially enlarged cross-sectional view of a package substrate 20 and a cap structure 23 is illustrated. Figure 4 A partially enlarged cross-sectional view of a package substrate 20 and a cap structure 23 is illustrated. Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of a semiconductor package structure 2 is illustrated. The semiconductor package structure 2 includes a package substrate 20, a plurality of cap structures 23, a solder paste 24, a semiconductor die 26, a plurality of internal connection elements 27 (e.g., solder bumps), and a plurality of external connection elements 28 (e.g., solder bumps).
[0043] The package substrate 20 has a first surface 201 and a second surface 202 opposite to the first surface 201, and includes a plurality of passivation layers 204 and at least one circuit layer 205. The circuit layer 205 (e.g., a redistribution layer (RDL)) is inserted between the passivation layers 204. The package substrate 20 defines a plurality of first hollow through-holes 203, and further includes a plurality of inner layers 206. The first hollow through-holes 203 extend between the first surface 201 and the second surface 202, and through the package substrate 20. The inner layers 206 are disposed on inner surfaces of the first hollow through-holes 203 to form a plurality of first hollow vias 207. In one embodiment, the inner layers 206 are electroplated layers electroplated on the inner surfaces of the first hollow through-holes 203. The material of the inner layers 206 can be metal, such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel, oxygen-free copper, or other suitable metal. The inner layers 206 do not fill the first hollow through-holes 203 so as to define a plurality of center holes (i.e., the first hollow vias 207). The center holes (i.e., the first hollow vias 207) can be empty and can not be filled by any other material. Thus, the package substrate 20 includes the first hollow vias 207 extending through the package substrate 20. It is noted that the function and size of the first hollow vias 207 are different from those of a conductive via (not shown). The diameter of the first hollow vias 207 can be greater than 100 pm or more, greater than 150 pm or more, or greater than 200 pm or more. The first hollow vias 207 are used for fluid flow or vapor flow for heat dissipation. That is, the first hollow vias 207 are part of a heat dissipation path. In one embodiment, the circuit layer 205, the internal connection elements 27, and the external connection elements 28 can not contact and be electrically isolated from the inner layers 206. Thus, the first hollow vias 207 are not electrically connected to the circuit layer 205, the internal connection elements 27, and the external connection elements 28.
[0044] In contrast, conductive vias can be formed by filling with a conductive material or by electroplating a metal layer followed by filling with an insulating material. That is, conductive vias can be solid vias. The diameter of a conductive via can be less than 100 μm, 80 μm, or 60 μm or smaller. Conductive vias are used for electrical connections. That is, conductive vias can be part of a conductive path. In one embodiment, circuit layer 205, internal connection element 27, and / or external connection element 28 can contact the conductive via. Therefore, the conductive via can be electrically connected to circuit layer 205, internal connection element 27, and / or external connection element 28.
[0045] However, in some embodiments, the first hollow via 207 may be electrically connected to the circuit layer 205, the internal connection element 27, and / or the external connection element 28. Additionally, the inner layer 206 may be omitted, and the inner surface of the first hollow via 203 defines the first hollow via 207.
[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, a portion of the inner layer 206 may extend to the first surface 201 of the packaging substrate 20 to form a plurality of base regions 208. Two first hollow vias 207 may be disposed within one base region 208. A cap structure 23 is disposed between the packaging substrate 20 and the semiconductor die 26, and each of the cap structures 23 defines a cavity 231. The cap structure 23 includes an outer peripheral wall portion 21 and a top cap portion 22. The outer peripheral wall portion 21 and the top cap portion 22 may be made of metal, such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel, oxygen-free copper, or other suitable materials. The outer peripheral wall portion 21 is disposed on the outer periphery of the base region 208 to define the cavity 231. The outer peripheral wall portion 21 may be electroplated on the base region 208. Alternatively, the outer peripheral wall portion 21 and the base region 208 may be formed simultaneously and integrally. The top cap portion 22 covers the outer peripheral wall portion 21, such that the cavity 231 becomes a closed space. In some embodiments, the top cover portion 22 and the outer peripheral wall portion 21 may be formed simultaneously and integrally, such that the cap structure 23 may be a monolithic structure having a cavity 231. The cap structure 23 is then attached to the base region 208 of the packaging substrate 20 to cover both in the first hollow via 207. Therefore, both in the first hollow via 207 are connected to each other through the cavity 231 of the cap structure 23. In some embodiments, solder paste 24 is disposed on the top surface of the top cover portion 22.
[0047] like Figure 4As shown, the semiconductor die 26 is electrically connected to the first surface 201 of the package substrate 20, and the cap structure 23 and the first hollow via 207 are disposed underneath the semiconductor die 26. The semiconductor die 26 has a first surface 261 and a second surface 262 (e.g., an active surface) opposite the first surface 261, and includes internal connection elements 27 (e.g., solder bumps) disposed adjacent to the second surface 262. The semiconductor die 26 is electrically connected to the first surface 201 of the package substrate 20 by the internal connection elements 27 (e.g., solder bumps) with flip-chip bonding. After the first reflow process, the height of the internal connection elements 27 can be substantially equal to the height of the cap structure 23, and the cap structure 23 can be attached to the second surface 262 of the semiconductor die 26 by the solder paste 24. However, the solder paste 24 can be omitted, and the top surface of the top cap portion 22 of the cap structure 23 can directly contact the second surface 262 of the semiconductor die 26. In addition, an underfill 29 (or a molding compound) can be further included to cover and protect the internal connection elements 27 and the cap structure 23. Further, external connection elements 28 (e.g., solder bumps) are disposed adjacent to the second surface 202 of the package substrate 20.
[0048] Figure 5 DESCRIPTION Figure 1 A perspective view of a first elastic layer 12, a middle block 14, and a second layer 16 of the semiconductor package 10 of FIG. 1. The materials of the first elastic layer 12 and the second layer 16 can be rubber or plastic materials. The first elastic layer 12 can define a plurality of through-holes 121, and the second layer 16 can define a plurality of through-holes 161. The material of the middle block 14 can be metal, such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel, oxygen-free copper, or other suitable materials. The middle block 14 can have a uniform thickness and can define a plurality of through-holes 141. The first elastic layer 12 can be disposed on a top surface of the middle block 14, and the second layer 16 can be disposed on a bottom surface of the middle block 14. The through-holes 121 of the first elastic layer 12 and the through-holes 161 of the second layer 16 are aligned with the through-holes 141 of the middle block 14. The first elastic layer 12 and the second layer 16 can increase the sealing effect to prevent fluid or vapor leakage.
[0049] Figure 6 DESCRIPTION Figure 1FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged perspective cross-sectional view of the assembly of the first elastic layer 12, the middle block 14, the second layer 16, and the main substrate 18. The main substrate 18 has a first surface 181 and a second surface 182 opposite the first surface 181, and includes a plurality of passivation layers 184 and at least one circuit layer 185. The circuit layer 185 (e.g., a redistribution layer (RDL)) is interposed between the passivation layers 184. The main substrate 18 defines a plurality of second hollow through-holes 183 and further includes a plurality of inner layers 186. The second hollow through-holes 183 extend between the first surface 181 and the second surface 182 and through the main substrate 18. The inner layers 186 are disposed on inner surfaces of the second hollow through-holes 183 to form a plurality of second hollow vias 187. In one embodiment, the inner layers 186 are electroplated layers electroplated on the inner surfaces of the second hollow through-holes 183. The material of the inner layers 186 can be metal, such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel, oxygen-free copper, or other suitable metal. The inner layers 186 can not fill the second hollow through-holes 183 so as to define a plurality of center holes (i.e., the second hollow vias 187). The center holes (i.e., the second hollow vias 187) can be empty and can not be filled by any other material. Thus, the main substrate 18 includes the second hollow vias 187 extending through the main substrate 18. It is noted that the function and size of the second hollow vias 187 are different from those of the conductive vias (not shown). The diameter of the second hollow vias 187 can be greater than 100 pm or more, greater than 150 pm or more, or greater than 200 pm or more. The second hollow vias 187 are used for fluid flow or vapor flow for heat dissipation. That is, the second hollow vias 187 are part of a heat dissipation path. In one embodiment, the circuit layer 185 and the external connection elements 28 can not contact the inner layers 186 and can be electrically insulated from the inner layers 186. Thus, the second hollow vias 187 can not be electrically connected to the circuit layer 185 and the external connection elements 28. However, in some embodiments, the second hollow vias 187 can be electrically connected to the circuit layer 185 and / or the external connection elements 28. In addition, the inner layers 186 can be omitted, and the inner surfaces of the second hollow through-holes 183 define the second hollow vias 187. As shown, the second hollow vias 187 are aligned with the through-holes 141 of the middle block 14. Thus, the middle block 14 is disposed or inserted between the package substrate 20 and the main substrate 18. The through-holes 141 of the middle block 14 are aligned with and in communication with the second hollow vias 187 and the first hollow vias 207. Figure 6
[0050] Figure 7 DETAILED DESCRIPTION Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of an assembly of the heat dissipating device 3. The heat dissipating device 3 includes a condenser structure 30, a first connecting pipe 35, a first channel 37, a second connecting pipe 36, and a second channel 38. The condenser structure 30 includes a cap housing 31 and a bottom wall 32. The cap housing 31 defines an open cavity 33 and includes at least a top wall 311, a first wall 312, and a second wall 313. As shown in Figure 10 , when the bottom wall 32 covers the bottom of the cap housing 31, the open cavity 33 can become a closed chamber 33', that is, the condenser structure 30 can define the closed chamber 33' to contain the second working fluid 34. As shown in Figure 7 , the top wall 311 can define a plurality of through holes 3111 corresponding to the second hollow through holes 187 of the main substrate 18. The first wall 312 can define a through hole 3121, and the first connecting pipe 35 is inserted into the through hole 3121. The first channel 37 is fixed to the first connecting pipe 35. The second wall 313 can define a through hole 3131, and the second connecting pipe 36 is inserted into the through hole 3131. The second channel 38 is fixed to the second connecting pipe 36. Thus, the first channel 37 and the second channel 38 are in communication with the closed chamber 33' (or the open cavity 33) of the condenser structure 30.
[0051] Figure 8 Description Figure 1 A perspective view of the U-shaped tube 4. Each of the U-shaped tubes 4 includes two end portions 41 and a connecting portion 42 connecting the two end portions 41. Each of the end portions 41 includes a main portion 411 and a joint head portion 412. The outer diameter of the joint head portion 412 is smaller than the outer diameter of the main portion 411 so as to form a shoulder portion 43. A first working fluid 44 Figure 9 may be disposed in each of the U-shaped tubes 4.
[0052] Figure 9 Description Figure 1 A combined perspective cross-sectional view of the U-shaped tube 4 and the main substrate 18. The U-shaped tube 4 is disposed under the second surface 182 of the main substrate 18. As shown in Figure 9 , the top wall 311 of the cap housing 31 of the condenser structure 30 is attached (e.g., adhered) to the second surface 182 of the main substrate 18, and the through holes 3111 of the top wall 311 are aligned with the second hollow through holes 187 of the main substrate 18. It is noted that a waterproof material (e.g., an elastic layer) can be inserted or sandwiched between the top wall 311 of the cap housing 31 and the second surface 182 of the main substrate 18. Subsequently, the two end portions 41 of each of the U-shaped tubes 4 pass through (penetrate) the through holes 3111 of the top wall 311 and are respectively connected to two of the second hollow through holes 187, such that the two of the second hollow through holes 187 are in communication with each other through the U-shaped tube 4. As shown in Figure 9As shown in FIG. 6, the joint head portion 412 of the U-tube 4 is inserted into the second hollow through-hole 187 by a tight fit, and the shoulder portion 43 of the U-tube 4 contacts and abuts against the second surface 182 of the main substrate 18. Meanwhile, the bottom portion of each of the U-tubes 4 is disposed or positioned in the cavity 33 of the open cap housing 31. In one embodiment, a solder material 46 can be coated to the bottom surface of the top wall 311 to cover the U-tube 4 in order to improve joint quality and prevent fluid or vapor leakage. Subsequently, the bottom wall 32 of the condenser structure 30 covers the bottom of the cap housing 31, such that the open cavity 33 can become a closed chamber 33' (FIG. 7). Figure 10 Thus, the bottom portion of each of the U-tubes 4 is disposed or positioned in the closed chamber 33' of the condenser structure 30, and the U-tube 4 is thermally connected to the heat spreader 3.
[0053] Figure 10 Description Figure 1 of the electronic device 1. After the semiconductor package structure 2 and the intermediate block 14 (with the first elastic layer 12 and the second layer 16) are placed on the main substrate 18, a second reflow process is performed. Thus, the package substrate 20 of the semiconductor package structure 2 is bonded or attached to the first surface 181 of the main substrate 18 by the external connection elements 28. Meanwhile, the intermediate block 14 (with the first elastic layer 12 and the second layer 16) is sandwiched by the second surface 202 of the package substrate 20 of the semiconductor package structure 2 and the first surface 181 of the main substrate 18. The height of the external connection elements 28 can be substantially equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the intermediate block 14, the first elastic layer 12, and the second layer 16. However, the first elastic layer 12 and the second layer 16 can be omitted, so the top surface of the intermediate block 14 can directly contact the second surface 202 of the package substrate 20, and the bottom surface of the intermediate block 14 can directly contact the first surface 181 of the main substrate 18. Subsequently, the U-tube 4 and the condenser structure 30 are attached or connected to the second surface 182 of the main substrate 18, as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 9
[0054] As Figure 10 As shown in FIG. 1, the two U-shaped tubes 4, the four second hollow through holes 187, the four through holes 141 of the middle block 14, the four first hollow through holes 207 and the two cap structures 23 form a closed loop. The closed loop is a closed space for containing the first working fluid 44 and is for a heat dissipation path. The material of the first working fluid 44 can be water, ethanol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) or other suitable material. In addition, the second working fluid 34 flows in the first channel 37, the closed chamber 33' and the second channel 38, and contacts a portion of each of the U-shaped tubes 4 in the closed chamber 33'. The material of the second working fluid 34 can be water, ethanol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) or other suitable material. During the operation of the semiconductor die 26, the heat generated by the semiconductor die 26 will be absorbed by the top cover portion 22 of the cap structure 23 to heat the air at the top portion 2071 of the first hollow through hole 207, and then the hot air will move downward to the bottom of the U-shaped tube 4, as shown in the first path 51. Then, the first working fluid 44 of the U-shaped tube 4 will be pressurized to move upward to the top portion 2071 of the first hollow through hole 207 to contact the top cover portion 22 of the cap structure 23, as shown in the second path 52. The first working fluid 44 will absorb the heat generated by the semiconductor die 26 and will become high-temperature fluid or high-temperature vapor. Then, the high-temperature fluid or high-temperature vapor will move downward along the first path 51 to the bottom of the U-shaped tube 4. Then, the high-temperature fluid or high-temperature vapor in the bottom of the U-shaped tube 4 will be cooled by the second working fluid 34 to become liquid, and then will move upward along the second path 52. Therefore, the circulation of the first working fluid 44 and its vapor forms a loop of heat convection. At the same time, the low-temperature second working fluid 34 flows through the first channel 37 into the closed chamber 33' of the condenser structure 30 of the heat dissipation device 3, as shown in the third path 53, and contacts the bottom portion of each of the U-shaped tubes 4 in the closed chamber 33'. Then, the low-temperature second working fluid 34 cools the high-temperature fluid or high-temperature vapor in the bottom of the U-shaped tube 4. Then, the second working fluid 34 becomes high-temperature fluid and flows out of the closed chamber 33' of the condenser structure 30 through the second channel 38, as shown in the fourth path 54. Therefore, the heat generated by the semiconductor die 26 is carried away by the first working fluid 44 and the second working fluid 34. Since the cap structure 23 is very close to the second surface 262 of the semiconductor die 26, i.e., the heat convection loop is very close to the hot spot of the semiconductor die 26, the heat dissipation efficiency is relatively high.

Therefore, the first hollow via 207 is defined only by the inner surface of the first hollow via 203. Subsequently, the semiconductor die 26 is attached to the packaging substrate 20 via an internal connection element 27. The second surface 202 of the semiconductor die 26 can directly or via solder paste contact the top surface of the connecting portion 42 of the top U-shaped tube 4b.

Additionally, the top surface of the heat dissipation plate 64 can be attached to the second surface 182 of the main substrate 18. The connector head portion 412 of the top U-shaped tube 4b is inserted into the top portion of the through-hole 641 of the heat dissipation plate 64 by a tight fit, and the shoulder portion 43 of the top U-shaped tube 4b contacts and abuts against the top surface of the heat dissipation plate 64.

Each of the bottom U-tubes 4c includes two end portions 41 and a connecting portion 42 connecting the two end portions 41. Each of the end portions 41 includes a main portion 411 and a joint head portion 412.

[0066] As shown in Figure 21 the two top U-tubes 4b, the four through holes 641 of the heat sink plate 64, and the two bottom U-tubes 4c form a closed loop. The closed loop is a closed space for containing the first working fluid 44 and for a heat dissipation path.
