Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a semiconductor device package and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a semiconductor device package including an antenna and a method of manufacturing the same. Background Technology

[0002] For example, mobile phone wireless communication devices typically include antennas for transmitting and receiving radio frequency (RF) signals. Similarly, wireless communication devices include antennas and communication modules, each mounted on different parts of a circuit board. In this approach, the antenna and communication module are manufactured separately and electrically connected to each other after being placed on the circuit board. Therefore, each component may incur separate manufacturing costs. Furthermore, it may be difficult to reduce the size of the wireless communication device to achieve a suitable compact product design. To reduce cost and package size, the Antenna in Package (AiP) approach is offered. Generally, organic substrates are commonly used in AiP systems. However, due to the limitations of organic substrate manufacturing processes, it is difficult to achieve fine pitch (less than 15 / 15 μm), and the relatively thick organic substrate hinders the miniaturization of AiP systems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, a semiconductor device package includes an emitter and a first building circuit. The emitter defines a cavity within the emitter. The first building circuit is disposed on the emitter.

[0004] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, a semiconductor device package includes an emitter and an encapsulation. The emitter defines a cavity within the emitter. The encapsulation covers a side of the emitter and exposes a second surface of the emitter.

[0005] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, a method of manufacturing an optical module includes: setting up the transmitting device including a cavity in the transmitting device; and constructing a redistribution layer on the transmitting device. Attached Figure Description

This disclosure will be readily understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0022] Figure 1AThe illustration shows a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device package 1A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The semiconductor device package 1A includes a carrier 10, circuit layers 11, 13, 14, 20, interconnect structures 12a, 12b, electronic components 15, electrical contacts 16, and package bodies 17, 18, and 19.

[0023] In some embodiments, the carrier 10 may be or comprise a glass substrate. In some embodiments, the carrier 10 may be or comprise a transmitting element having one or more transmitting components (e.g., an antenna, a light-emitting element, a sensor, or the like) disposed thereon. The carrier 10 may comprise conductive pads, traces, and interconnects (e.g., vias). In some embodiments, the carrier 10 may comprise a transparent material. In some embodiments, the carrier 10 may comprise an opaque material. Compared to organic substrates, controlling the thickness of a glass carrier is easier, which can contribute to the miniaturization of the semiconductor device package 1A. The carrier 10 comprises a material having a loss tangent or dissipation factor (Df) of less than about 0.005. The carrier 10 comprises a material having a loss tangent or Df of less than about 0.003. In some embodiments, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the carrier 10 is in the range of about 0.5 to about 13. In some embodiments, the CTE of the carrier 10 is in the range of about 3.6 to about 8.5. In some embodiments, the thickness of the carrier 10 is in the range of about 100 μm to about 200 μm.

[0024] The carrier 10 has a surface 101, a surface 102 opposite to surface 101, and a side surface 103 extending between surface 101 and surface 102. A conductive layer 10p is disposed on surface 101 of the carrier 10. In some embodiments, the conductive layer 10p defines a patterned antenna, such as a directional antenna, an omnidirectional antenna, or an antenna array. For example, the conductive layer 10p defines a patch antenna. The conductive layer 10p is or contains a conductive material, such as a metal or metal alloy. Examples of conductive materials include gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), other metals or alloys, or combinations of two or more of these. In some embodiments, the conductive layer 10p may be replaced by one or more light-emitting elements or sensors.

[0025] The circuit layer 20 (or the building block circuit) has a surface 201 facing away from the carrier 10, a surface 202 opposite to the surface 201, and a side surface 203 extending between the surfaces 201 and 202. The circuit layer 20 is disposed on the carrier 10 and spaced apart from the carrier 10 by a support element 10m. For example, the circuit layer 20, the support element 10m, and the carrier 10 define a space 10s. The support element 10m may be disposed at or adjacent to the periphery of the carrier 10. In some embodiments, the support element 10m may be formed of, or comprise, an attachment film, metal, or any other suitable material. In some embodiments, the thickness of the support element 10m is in the range of about 100 μm to about 200 μm. In some embodiments, the width of the circuit layer 20 is substantially the same as the width of the carrier 10. For example, the side surface 203 of the circuit layer 20 is substantially coplanar with the side surface 103 of the carrier 10. In other embodiments, depending on different design specifications, the width of circuit layer 20 may be greater than or less than the width of carrier 10.

[0026] In some embodiments, such as the top view illustrating the support element 10m and the carrier 10 Figure 1C As shown, the support element 10m can completely surround the periphery of the carrier 10. For example, the carrier 10, the support element 10m, and the circuit layer 20 can define a sealed space 10s. This prevents the package 17 from entering the space 10s during the manufacturing process. In other embodiments, if the package 17 is omitted, the support element 10m may not completely surround the periphery of the carrier 10. For example, there may be a gap between two adjacent support elements 10m, or the support element 10m may include one or more openings.

[0027] Circuit layer 20 includes one or more conductive layers (e.g., redistribution layers, RDLs, or conductive vias) 20c, 20v, and one or more dielectric layers 20p. A portion of the conductive layer (e.g., 20v) is covered or encapsulated by dielectric layer 20p, while another portion of the conductive layer (e.g., 20c) is exposed from dielectric layer 20p to provide electrical connectivity. In some embodiments, the surface of conductive layer 20c facing the carrier 10 and exposed from dielectric layer 20p is within a space 10s. In some embodiments, conductive layer 20c is patterned to correspond to conductive layer 10p. For example, conductive layer 20c is substantially aligned with conductive layer 10p. Conductive layer 20c is spaced apart from conductive layer 10p. Signals can be transmitted between conductive layer 20c and conductive layer 10p via coupling. The presence of a space 10s (e.g., an air cavity) between conductive layer 20c and conductive layer 10p enhances the performance of signal transmission between them. In some embodiments, circuit layer 20 may act as an intermediary layer. In some embodiments, the carrier 10, conductive layer 10p, support element 10m, and circuit layer 20 may also be referred to as a transmitting device.

[0028] In some embodiments, dielectric layer 20p may comprise polyimide (PI), prepreg composite fibers (e.g., a prepreg), borosilicate glass (BPSG), silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, undoped silicate glass (USG), any combination of two or more of these, or the like. Examples of prepregs may comprise, but are not limited to, multilayer structures formed by stacking or laminating several prepreg materials / sheets. In some embodiments, depending on design specifications, any number of conductive layers 20c may be present. In some embodiments, conductive layer 20c is formed of Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Pd, or alloys thereof, or comprises Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Pd, or alloys thereof. In some embodiments, dielectric layer 20p and package 17 may comprise the same material. Alternatively, dielectric layer 20p and package 17 may comprise different materials.

[0029] A circuit layer 11 (or a building block circuit) is disposed on a circuit layer 20. The circuit layer 11 has a surface 111 facing away from the circuit layer 20, a surface 112 opposite to the surface 111, and a side surface 113 extending between the surfaces 111 and 112. The circuit layer 11 is electrically connected to the circuit layer 20. The surface 112 of the circuit layer 11 contacts the surface 201 of the circuit layer 20. In some embodiments, the side surface 113 of the circuit layer 11 and the side surface 203 of the circuit layer 20 (or the side surface 103 of the carrier 10) are non-coplanar or discontinuous. For example, the side surface 203 of the circuit layer 20 (or the side surface 103 of the carrier 10) is recessed from the side surface 113 of the circuit layer 11. For example, the width of the circuit layer 20 or the carrier 10 is smaller than the width of the circuit layer 11.

[0030] Circuit layer 11 includes one or more conductive layers (e.g., redistribution layers, RDLs) 11c and one or more dielectric layers 11d. A portion of the conductive layer 11c is covered or encapsulated by the dielectric layer 11d, while another portion of the conductive layer 11c is exposed from the dielectric layer 11d to provide electrical connectivity. In some embodiments, the surface of the conductive layer 11c facing the circuit layer 20 and exposed from the dielectric layer 11d contacts the surface 201 of the circuit layer 20. In some embodiments, the conductive layer 11c may be or include one or more antenna patterns, optical elements, sensors, or the like.

[0031] In some embodiments, dielectric layer 11d may comprise PI, prepreg composite fibers (e.g., prepreg), BPSG, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, USG, any combination of two or more of these, or the like. Examples of prepregs may comprise, but are not limited to, multilayer structures formed by stacking or laminating several prepreg materials / sheets. In some embodiments, depending on design specifications, any number of conductive layers 11c may be present. In some embodiments, conductive layer 11c is formed of Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Pd, or alloys thereof, or comprises Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Pd, or alloys thereof.

[0032] Package 17 is disposed on surface 112 of circuit layer 11. Package 17 covers carrier 10, support element 10m, and circuit layer 20. Package 17 covers side 103 of carrier 10, side 10m of support element 10m, and side 203 of circuit layer 20. Surface 102 of carrier 10 is exposed from package 17. For example, surface 102 of carrier 10 is substantially coplanar with surface 172 of package 17. In some embodiments, package 17 has side 173 that is substantially coplanar with side 113 of circuit layer 11. Side 103 of carrier 10 and side 203 of circuit layer 20 are recessed from side 173 of package 17. For example, there is a distance between side 103 of carrier 10 (or side 203 of circuit layer 20) and side 173 of package 17. In some embodiments, the encapsulation 17 comprises an epoxy resin containing filler, a molding material (e.g., epoxy molding material or other molding material), PI, a phenolic material or material, a material containing silicone dispersed therein, or a combination thereof.

[0033] One or more interconnect structures 12a (e.g., conductive pillars or conductive elements) are disposed on the surface 111 of the circuit layer 11. The interconnect structures 12a are electrically connected to the circuit layer 11 (i.e., electrically connected to the conductive layer 11c exposed from the dielectric layer 11d). In some embodiments, the interconnect structures 12a define an antenna structure. The interconnect structures 12a are or contain a conductive material, such as a metal or metal alloy. Examples of conductive materials include Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Pd, or alloys thereof.

[0034] Package 18 is disposed on surface 111 of circuit layer 11. Package 18 covers interconnect structure 12a. In some embodiments, package 18 has side surface 183 that is substantially coplanar with side surface 113 of circuit layer 11. In some embodiments, package 18 comprises epoxy resin containing filler, molding material (e.g., epoxy molding material or other molding material), PI, phenolic material or material, material containing silicone dispersed therein, or combinations thereof.

[0035] A circuit layer 13 (or a circuitry layer) is disposed on a package 18. The circuit layer 13 has one or more dielectric layers 13d and one or more conductive layers 13c. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 13d may contain the same material as dielectric layer 11d. Alternatively, the dielectric layer 13d and dielectric layer 11d may contain different materials. The conductive layers 13c are electrically connected to the interconnect structure 12a. In some embodiments, depending on design specifications, any number of conductive layers 13c may be present.

[0036] One or more interconnect structures 12b (e.g., conductive pillars or conductive elements) are disposed on the surface of circuit layer 13 facing away from circuit layer 11. The interconnect structures 12b are electrically connected to circuit layer 13. The interconnect structures 12b are or contain conductive materials, such as metals or metal alloys. Examples of conductive materials include Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Pd, or alloys thereof.

[0037] Electronic component 15 is disposed on the surface of circuit layer 13 facing away from circuit layer 11. Electronic component 15 may be an active electronic component, such as an integrated circuit (IC) chip or die. The active surface of electronic component 15 faces circuit layer 13. Electronic component 15 is electrically connected to circuit layer 13 (e.g., electrically connected to conductive layer 13c) via electrical contacts (e.g., solder balls), and the electrical connection may be achieved, for example, using flip-chip technology.

[0038] Package 19 is disposed on the surface of circuit layer 13 opposite to circuit layer 11. Package 19 covers interconnect structure 12b and electronic component 15. In some embodiments, package 19 has sides that are substantially coplanar with the sides of circuit layer 13. In some embodiments, package 19 comprises epoxy resin containing filler, molding material (e.g., epoxy molding material or other molding material), PI, phenolic material or material, material containing silicone dispersed therein, or combinations thereof.

[0039] A circuit layer 14 (or a circuitry layer) is disposed on a package 19. The circuit layer 14 has one or more dielectric layers 14d and one or more conductive layers 14c. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 14d may contain the same material as dielectric layer 11d. Alternatively, the dielectric layer 14d and dielectric layer 11d may contain different materials. The conductive layers 14c are electrically connected to the interconnect structure 12b. In some embodiments, depending on design specifications, any number of conductive layers 14c may be present.

[0040] Electrical contact 16 is disposed on conductive layer 14c exposed from dielectric layer 14d. In some embodiments, electrical contact 16 may comprise solder or other suitable material.

[0041] In some embodiments, the side 103 of the carrier 10 may be coplanar with the side 113 of the circuit layer 11. For example, the side 103 of the carrier 10 is exposed from the package 17. This structure can be formed by: (i) setting a glass wafer; (ii) forming circuit layers 11, 13, 14, interconnect structures 12a, 12b, packages 17, 18, 19, and electronic components 15 on the glass wafer; and (iii) isomeric assembly of the circuit layers 11, 13, 14, packages 17, 18, 19, and carrier wafer. To meet the performance requirements of the antenna structure, the glass wafer should be selected from materials with a relatively low Dk (e.g., less than 5). However, a glass wafer with a relatively low Dk will also have a relatively low CTE (e.g., less than 13). Warpage problems will occur due to the CTE mismatch between the glass wafer and the package 17 (e.g., the package typically has a CTE greater than 20). As the size of the glass wafer increases, the warpage problem becomes more severe, which may lead to cracking or damage to the glass wafer.

[0042] According to such Figure 1A In the embodiment shown, the side 103 of the carrier 10 is recessed from the side 111 of the circuit layer 11. This structure can be formed by the following operations (details of which will be described later): (i) monomerizing the glass wafer to divide the glass wafer into multiple glass carriers (e.g., as shown in the figure). Figure 1A (ii) a carrier 10 shown in the figure; (iii) a glass carrier (separate from each other) attached to a release membrane, each glass carrier having a support element and circuitry on the support element to define a cavity; and (iv) circuit layers 11, 13, 14, interconnect structures 12a, 12b, package 17, 18, 19, and electronic components 15 formed on the glass carrier. Since the size of the partitioned glass carriers is much smaller than the size of the glass wafer, warpage problems are significantly mitigated. Furthermore, since signals are transmitted between conductive layers 10p and 20c via air (e.g., 10s) rather than the carrier 10, a low-Dk material does not need to be selected for the carrier 10. This increases the flexibility in selecting materials for the carrier 10 to meet other requirements (e.g., low Df, high hardness, or high CTE) to improve the electrical or structural performance of the semiconductor device package 1A.

[0043] Figure 1B This illustration shows a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device package 1B according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The semiconductor device package 1B is similar to... Figure 1A The semiconductor device package 1A shown in the figure is described below, and the differences therein are described.

[0044] The side 113 of the circuit layer 11 is recessed from the side 173 of the package 17 or the side 183 of the package 18. For example, there is a gap between the side 113 of the circuit layer 11 and the side 183 of the package 18. For example, the side 113 of the circuit layer 11 is covered by the package 18. For example, the width of the circuit layer 11 is smaller than the width of the package 18. The package 18 can directly contact the package 17.

[0045] In some embodiments, the side surface 113 of the circuit layer 11 may be connected to, for example, Figure 1B The side surface 203 of the circuit layer 20 shown is substantially coplanar. For example, the width of the circuit layer 11 is substantially the same as the width of the circuit layer 20. In some embodiments, the side surface 113 of the circuit layer 11 is not coplanar with the side surface 203 of the circuit layer 20 and the side surface 183 of the package 18. For example, the width of the circuit layer 11 is greater than the width of the circuit layer 20 and less than the width of the package 18.

[0047] The surface of conductive layer 11c facing the carrier 10 and exposed from dielectric layer 11d is in space 10s. In some embodiments, the exposed portion of conductive layer 11c is patterned to correspond to conductive layer 10p. For example, conductive layer 11c and conductive layer 10p are substantially aligned. Conductive layer 11c and conductive layer 10p are spaced apart. Signals can be transmitted between conductive layer 11c and conductive layer 10p via coupling.
