For example, the width of the metal film 308 can be greater than, less than, or equal to the width W3 of the metal pattern 306. The metal film 308 can be formed of or include a metal material. For example, the metal film 308 can include nickel (Ni).

The connection terminal 320 can not cover the side surface of the metal pattern 306 or the side surface of the first barrier pattern 302 and the side surface of the second barrier pattern 304.

In other words, the UBM layer 310 can not include the metal film 308. Accordingly, the connection terminal 320 can be in contact with a certain surface of the metal pattern 306.

For example, the first barrier pattern 822 can be in contact with a certain surface of the metal pattern 816 of the redistribution member 810, which is exposed by the sixth insulating layer 802c. The first barrier pattern 822 can be formed to have a thin thickness. For example, the thickness of the first barrier pattern 822 can be in the range of about 0.1 μm to about 1 μm. to about The first barrier pattern 822 can be formed of or include at least one of metal nitride. For example, the first barrier pattern 822 can be formed of or include titanium nitride (TiN). The second barrier pattern 824 can be disposed on the first barrier pattern 822.

[0041] In some embodiments, the width W1_b of the first barrier pattern 822, the width W2_b of the second barrier pattern 824, and the width W3_b of the metal pattern 826 can be different from each other.

The width W1_b of the first barrier pattern 822 can be greater than the width W2_b of the second barrier pattern 824 (i.e., W1_b > W2_b). In other words, the metal pattern 826 can have the greatest width W3_b, and the second barrier pattern 824 can have the smallest width W2_b. Although it is shown in Figure 4B that the width of the first metal film 828 is greater than the width W3_b of the metal pattern 826, the width of the first metal film 828 is not limited thereto.

The side surfaces of the first barrier pattern 822, the second barrier pattern 824, and the metal pattern 826 can be perpendicular to the particular surface 14 of the seventh insulating layer 802d, and can be substantially flat.

[0054] Figures 7A to 7D FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a method of manufacturing a semiconductor package including a semiconductor device according to some embodiments of the inventive concept.

[0055] Referring to Figure 7A A first chip pad 102 can be formed on a first surface 100a of the first semiconductor chip 100. The formation of the first chip pad 102 can include forming a conductive layer on the first surface 100a of the first semiconductor chip 100 and then patterning the conductive layer.

[0056] The first insulating layer 202a and the second insulating layer 202b can be sequentially formed on the first chip pad 102, the first protective layer 104, and the molding layer 400. The first insulating layer 202a can be formed to conformally cover certain surfaces of the first protective layer 104, certain surfaces of the first chip pad 102 exposed by the first protective layer 104, and certain surfaces of the molding layer 400. The second insulating layer 202b can be formed on the first insulating layer 202a. The redistribution 204 can be formed in the first insulating layer 202a and the second insulating layer 202b and on certain surfaces 2 of the second insulating layer 202b. The formation of the redistribution 204 can include forming first penetration holes H1 to penetrate the first insulating layer 202a and the second insulating layer 202b, forming a layer to fill the first penetration holes H1 and cover the certain surfaces 2 of the second insulating layer 202b, and patterning the layer. In some embodiments, the first penetration holes H1 can be formed to expose certain surfaces of the first chip pad 102. The redistribution 204 can include a single layer or multiple layers. The redistribution 204 can be formed of or include at least one of a metal layer or a metal nitride layer.

[0057] The first barrier layer 52, the second barrier layer 54, and the seed layer 56 can be sequentially formed on certain surfaces 4 of the third insulating layer 202c. The first barrier layer 52 can be in contact with the certain surfaces 4 of the third insulating layer 202c and certain surfaces of the via 206. The first barrier layer 52 can be formed using a deposition process (e.g., PVD, CVD, or ALD). The first barrier layer 52 can be formed of or include at least one of a metal nitride. For example, the first barrier layer 52 can be formed of or include a titanium nitride layer (TiN). The first barrier layer 52 can be formed to a thickness selected to reduce the impact on resistance and prevent the second barrier layer 54 from being over-etched in a subsequent etching process. The first barrier layer 52 can be formed to have a thickness of about about 10 nm to about 50 nm. The second barrier layer 54 can be formed on the first barrier layer 52. The second barrier layer 54 can be formed using a deposition process (e.g., physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), or atomic layer deposition (ALD)). The second barrier layer 54 can be formed of or include at least one of a metal material. For example, the second barrier layer 54 can be formed of or include titanium (Ti). A seed layer 56 can be formed on the second barrier layer 54. The seed layer 56 can be formed using a deposition process (e.g., PVD, CVD, or ALD). The seed layer 56 can be a layer to be used in a subsequent plating process. The seed layer 56 can be used to improve a deposition rate of a metal in the subsequent plating process. The seed layer 56 can be formed of or include at least one of a metal material. For example, the seed layer 56 can be formed of or include copper (Cu).

[0058] Referring to Figure 7B The first plating layer 58 and the second plating layer 60 can be sequentially formed on the seed layer 56. The first plating layer 58 and the second plating layer 60 can be formed using a plating process. In some embodiments, the first plating layer 58 can be formed of or include copper (Cu), and the second plating layer 60 can be formed of or include nickel (Ni). The first plating layer 58 and the second plating layer 60 can be formed in an in-situ manner.

[0059] A terminal pattern 62 can be formed on the second plating layer 60. As an example, the terminal pattern 62 can be formed by forming a metal layer on the second plating layer 60 and patterning the metal layer. In some embodiments, the formation of the terminal pattern 62 can include forming a sacrificial layer having a hole on the second plating layer 60, filling the hole with a metal material, and then removing the sacrificial layer. The terminal pattern 62 can be formed of or include at least one of a metal material (e.g., tin (Sn), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and bismuth (Bi)).

[0060] Referring to Figure 7CThe second plating layer 60, the first plating layer 58, and the seed layer 56 can be sequentially patterned using the terminal pattern 62 as an etching mask. Accordingly, the first metal pattern 306a, the second metal pattern 306b, and the metal film 308 can be sequentially formed on the second barrier layer 54. The terminal pattern 62 can be disposed on the metal film 308. The patterning process can be performed using a wet etching process. The wet etching process can be performed using a copper etching solution. Although the metal film 308 is illustrated as having a width greater than widths of the first metal pattern 306a and the second metal pattern 306b, the inventive concept is not limited to this example. For example, according to process conditions for an etching or patterning process, the metal film 308 can be formed to have a width less than or equal to widths of the first metal pattern 306a and the second metal pattern 306b. Since the copper etching solution has an etching selectivity with respect to the terminal pattern 62, the terminal pattern 62 can not be removed during the etching process.

[0061] Referring to Figure 7D The second barrier layer 54 and the first barrier layer 52 can be sequentially patterned using the terminal pattern 62, the metal film 308, and the first metal pattern 306a and the second metal pattern 306b as etching masks. Accordingly, the first barrier pattern 302 and the second barrier pattern 304 can be sequentially formed on the specific surface 4 of the third insulating layer 202c. The second barrier pattern 304 can be formed between the first barrier pattern 302 and the first metal pattern 306a. The patterning process can be performed using a wet etching process. The wet etching process can be performed using a titanium etching solution. If the wet etching process is performed using the titanium etching solution, an etching rate of the first barrier layer 52 can be lower than an etching rate of the second barrier layer 54. Accordingly, an etching amount of the second barrier pattern 304 can be greater than an etching amount of the first barrier pattern 302, and thus, the second barrier pattern 304 can be formed to have a width smaller than a width of the first barrier pattern 302. The first barrier pattern 302 can be formed to have a width smaller than widths of the first metal pattern 306a and the second metal pattern 306b.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the inventive concept, the first barrier pattern 302 formed of a metal nitride can be formed between the second barrier pattern 304 and the third insulating layer 202c, and this can enable protection / prevention of a reduction in adhesion strength between the second barrier pattern 304 and the third insulating layer 202c by a metal oxide, which can be formed between the third insulating layer 202c and the second barrier pattern 304 when the second barrier pattern 304 formed of a metal material is directly formed on the third insulating layer 202c.

[0063] Referring back to Figure 1The connection terminal 320 can be formed by performing a reflow process on the terminal pattern 62. The reflow process can be performed using a low-temperature process. The connection terminal 320 can be mounted on a first (e.g., top) surface of the board 2000. The connection terminal 320 can be electrically connected to the external terminal 500 formed on a second (e.g., bottom) surface of the board 2000 facing the first surface.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the inventive concepts, a metal nitride barrier layer can be formed between the insulating layer and the metal barrier layer of the redistribution, pad, or UBM layer. The metal nitride barrier layer can inhibit / prevent formation of a metal oxide layer between the metal barrier layer and the insulating layer. Thus, reliability of the semiconductor device can be improved.

[0065] While example embodiments of the inventive concepts have been particularly shown and described, ordinary skilled in the art will understand that changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope of the claims.
