Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor packaging technology, and more particularly to a semiconductor packaging device and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of electronic products, the demand for multifunctionality and thinner and lighter products is increasing dramatically. This is forcing a dramatic increase in the number of I / O (input / output) within products, coupled with an increasing adoption of fine pitch designs. However, to accommodate more circuit patterns within a unit area or volume, the line / space dimensions of the product's conductors and conductive vias must also be reduced accordingly.

[0003] However, the accuracy of traditional die attach is affected by machine systems (e.g., the transmission system, nozzle size and structure, imaging system, or actuation principle). The minimum variation is approximately 1 to 2 microns. This accuracy can lead to significant bonding shift for dies with a bonding pitch less than 10 microns, ultimately resulting in a low electrical functional yield, typically below 70% in practice.

[0104] It should also be noted that the longitudinal section corresponding to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be a section corresponding to the front view direction, the transverse section may be a section corresponding to the right view direction, and the horizontal section may be a section corresponding to the top view direction.

[0105] In addition, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other without conflict. The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0106] refer to Figure 1A , Figure 1A A cross-sectional view of one embodiment of a semiconductor package device 1 a according to the present disclosure is shown.

[0107] like Figure 1A As shown, the semiconductor package device 1a may include a bridge layer 2, a functional chip 30 and a protective layer 5.

[0108] The bridge layer 2 includes at least two horizontally spaced bridge chips 21, each of which includes a chip 211 and a dielectric layer 212 covering the chip 211. The two sides of the bridge chip 21 are spaced apart by convex and concave portions, and the convex and concave side surfaces of the bridge chip are inclined surfaces. A accommodating cavity 22 with a width at the top and a narrowness at the bottom is formed between two adjacent bridge chips. The accommodating cavity 22 is as shown in FIG. Figure 1A As shown in the dotted box 22.

[0109] It should be noted that the chip 211 in the bridge chip 21 can be a semiconductor chip with circuits, or a semiconductor material without chip circuits, or a semiconductor material with circuits but without semiconductor materials. The dielectric layer 212 covering the chip 211 can be various insulating materials, which can be organic insulating materials or inorganic insulating materials. Organic insulating materials can be, for example, polyamide fiber (PA), polyimide (PI), epoxy resin (Epoxy), poly-p-phenylene benzobisoxazole (PBO) fiber, FR-4 epoxy glass cloth laminate, PP (PrePreg, prepreg material or semi-cured resin, semi-cured sheet), ABF (Ajinomoto Build-up Film), etc., while inorganic insulating materials can be, for example, glass, ceramic, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, tantalum oxide, etc.

[0110] The functional chip 30 is at least partially embedded within the accommodating cavity 22. The functional chip 30 includes an insulating isolation layer 302 and a chip 301 disposed within the insulating isolation layer 302. The functional chip 30 has two sides formed with spaced-apart convex and concave portions, each with inclined side surfaces. The convex and concave portions of the functional chip 30 correspond to the concave and convex portions of the bridge chip 21 on either side of the accommodating cavity 22 in which the functional chip 30 is embedded.

[0111] The chip 301 in the functional chip 30 can be a chip that implements various functions, such as a logic chip, a memory chip, or a radio frequency chip. The insulating isolation layer 302 in the functional chip 30 is used to protect and isolate the chip 301. The insulating isolation layer 302 can be made of various insulating materials, such as various organic or inorganic insulating materials.

[0112] The protective layer 5 is disposed on and covers the functional chip 30. The protective layer 5 is used to provide protection for the bridging layer 2 and the functional chip 30. The protective layer 5 can be composed of various insulating materials. For example, the protective layer 5 can be various molding compounds. For example, the molding compound may include epoxy resin, filler, catalyst, pigment, release agent, flame retardant, coupling agent, hardener, low stress absorber, adhesion promoter, ion trapping agent, etc.

[0113] In the semiconductor packaging device 1a, since the functional chip 30 is at least partially embedded in the accommodating cavity 22 which is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom of the bridge layer 2, and the convex and concave portions on both sides of the functional chip 30 are spaced apart and correspond to the concave and convex portions on the sides of the bridge chip 21 on both sides of the accommodating cavity 22 respectively, and since the side surfaces of the concave and convex portions on the sides of the bridge chip 21 on both sides of the accommodating cavity 22 are both inclined surfaces, the functional chip 30 can be guided by the inclined side surfaces of the concave and convex portions on the sides of the bridge chip 21 on both sides of the accommodating cavity 22, and the bonding offset of the functional chip 30 can be effectively controlled, thereby achieving precise alignment in the fine-pitch semiconductor packaging device 1a, thereby improving the electrical yield.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 1B , please refer to Figure 1B , Figure 1B FIG. 1 is a partial enlarged schematic diagram of a longitudinal cross section of the convex and concave portions of the bridge chip 21 excluding the dielectric layer 212 in an embodiment 1a of the semiconductor package device according to the present disclosure. Figure 1B As shown in FIG, the longitudinal cross section of the convex and concave portions of the bridge chip 21, excluding the dielectric layer portion, may be a trapezoidal shape with the upper side being shorter than the lower side. Figure 1BThe trapezoidal shape shown in the dotted box is a trapezoidal shape. Except for the portion of the dielectric layer 212 in the longitudinal cross-section of the convex and concave portions of the bridge chip 21, the upper side is shorter than the lower side. Thus, the accommodating cavity 22 formed between two adjacent bridge chips 21 in the bridging layer will be wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. During the placement of the functional chip 30 into the accommodating cavity 22, the functional chip 30 can move downward under the action of gravity. Because the accommodating cavity is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, the functional chip 30 can move between the convex and concave portions on both sides of the accommodating cavity 22, where the convex and concave portions fit neatly into the accommodating cavity 22. The functional chip 30 will no longer move downward and will be fixed there. The bridge chip 21 then contacts the functional chip 30 in the horizontal, transverse, and longitudinal directions, allowing the accommodating cavity 22 to guide and position the functional chip 30. Moreover, since the accommodating cavity 22 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, even if there is a certain bonding offset when placing the functional chip 30 into the accommodating cavity 22, as long as the functional chip 30 is in the upper space of the accommodating cavity 22, the concave and convex parts on both sides of the accommodating cavity 22 can guide and position the functional chip 30.

[0115] In some optional embodiments, the two inner angles θ of the bottom of the trapezoid in the longitudinal interface between the convex and concave parts of the bridge chip 21, excluding the dielectric layer 212 part, can be between 30° and 80°. Figure 1B As shown in the figure, according to the setting of the inner angle of the bottom of the trapezoid, the angles of the side surface slopes of the concave and convex parts of the accommodating cavity 22 formed between two adjacent bridge chips 21 in the bridge layer 2 are more suitable for guiding the functional chip 30 downward, so that when the functional chip 30 is placed in the accommodating cavity 22, the bonding offset is too large due to the slope being too steep and sliding downward too fast, or the slope being too gentle and difficult to slide.

[0116] In some optional embodiments, the difference between the lower side length Wbb and the upper side length Wbt of the trapezoidal shape (excluding the dielectric layer portion) at the longitudinal interface between the convex and concave portions of the bridge chip 21 can be between 7 and 160 microns. In other words, the allowable horizontal bonding offset of the functional chip 30 placed in the accommodating cavity 22 is 7 to 160 microns. Within the precision range of current chip processes, a good electrical connection can be achieved within a bonding offset of 7 to 160 microns, thereby improving the electrical yield of the product.

[0117] In some optional embodiments, the vertical height t of the bridge chip 21, excluding the dielectric layer 212, is between 10 and 50 microns. Thus, the depth of the cavity formed by two adjacent bridge chips 21 is also between 10 and 50 microns. If t is less than 10 microns, the cavity 22 may be too small to accommodate the functional chip 30. Conversely, if t is greater than 50 microns, the cavity 22 may be too high, resulting in an excessively thick semiconductor package, hindering the trend toward product miniaturization.

[0118] Reference below Figure 1C , Figure 1C FIG. 1 is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of a longitudinal cross section of the accommodating cavity 22 and the functional chip 30 in the semiconductor packaging device 1a according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1C As shown, the horizontal width Wcb of the bottom longitudinal section of the accommodating cavity 22, the horizontal width Wfb of the bottom longitudinal section of the functional chip 30, and the horizontal width Wft of the top longitudinal section of the functional chip 30 are arranged from small to large. Because the horizontal width Wfb of the bottom longitudinal section of the functional chip 30 is greater than the horizontal width Wcb of the bottom longitudinal section of the accommodating cavity 22, the functional chip 30 does not contact the bottom of the accommodating cavity 22. That is, there is a gap between the functional chip 30 and the bottom of the accommodating cavity 22, which can be used to set a solder ball at the bottom of the functional chip 30 to achieve electrical connection between the functional chip 30 and, for example, a substrate set at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 22 through the solder ball set at the bottom.

[0119] In some optional embodiments, the vertical height h of the portion of the functional chip 30 embedded in the accommodating cavity 22 may be less than the minimum height of each bridge chip 21. This is because there may be a gap between the functional chip 30 and the bottom of the accommodating cavity 22, which can be used to place a solder ball at the bottom of the functional chip 30 to achieve electrical connection between the functional chip 30 and, for example, a substrate disposed at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 22 via the solder ball.

[0120] Continue to refer Figure 1D and Figure 1E , Figure 1D and Figure 1E The semiconductor package devices 1d and 1e shown are similar to Figure 1A The semiconductor package device 1 a shown in FIG. 1 is different in that the semiconductor package devices 1 d and 1 e may include at least two functional chips 30 disposed in the accommodating cavity 22 .

[0121] In some optional embodiments, the semiconductor package devices 1d and 1e may include a first function chip 31 and a second function chip 32 respectively disposed on both sides of the bridge chip 21 , and the first function chip 31 and the second function chip 32 are electrically connected through the bridge chip 21 .

[0122] In some optional embodiments, the outer surfaces of the insulating isolation layers of the first function chip 31 and the second function chip 32 are respectively provided with first and second wires 311, 321 that electrically connect the first function chip 31 and the second function chip 32. The outer surface of the dielectric layer 212 of the bridge chip 21 is provided with a bridge wire 215 that electrically connects the chip 211 in the bridge chip 21. The bridge wire 215 contacts the first and second wires 311, 321, respectively, to electrically connect the first function chip 31 to the second function chip 32. This connection method can shorten the electrical connection path between the first function chip 31 and the second function chip 32.

[0123] In some optional embodiments, the first conductive line 311 may include a seed layer 3111 contacting the insulating isolation layer of the first functional chip 31 and a metal layer 3112 contacting the seed layer 3111; the second conductive line 32 may include a seed layer 3211 contacting the insulating isolation layer of the second functional chip 32 and a metal layer 3212 contacting the seed layer 3211; and the bridge conductive line 215 may include a seed layer 2151 contacting the dielectric layer 212 of the bridge chip 21 and a metal layer 2152 contacting the seed layer 2151. Here, by providing a seed layer and a metal layer on the first conductive line 31, the second conductive line 32, and the bridge conductive line 215, respectively, the seed layer can be used to improve the bonding strength between the metal layers of the first conductive line 31, the second conductive line 32, and the bridge conductive line 215 and the insulating isolation layer of the first functional chip 31, the insulating isolation layer of the second functional chip 32, and the dielectric layer 212 of the bridge chip 21. Here, the seed layer may be a metal such as titanium (Ti), tungsten (W), or nickel (Ni). The metal layer may be, for example, gold (Au), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), copper (Cu) or an alloy thereof.

[0124] In some optional embodiments, the line width / space ratio of the first conductive line 311, the second conductive line 321, and the bridge conductive line 215 is less than 2 / 2 microns. This line width / space ratio can balance the electrical performance of the circuit, the occupied area, and the process capability of the conductive line manufacturing process, such as the process capability of optical exposure, electroplating, and yellow light processing.

[0125] Solder balls (such as Figure 1D As shown), the first function chip 31 and the second function chip 32 may also have no solder balls at the bottom (as shown Figure 1E shown).

[0126] In some optional embodiments, the space between the accommodating cavity 22 and the bottom of the functional chip 30 may be filled with an underfill.
