Figure 12 It is along Figure 11 The schematic cross-sectional view drawn by line A-A' illustrates a portion of the fabrication process of a semiconductor element 1A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 13 An embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated. Figure 11 A close-up top view of the intermediate semiconductor element in the CU region. Figure 14 It is along Figure 13 A schematic diagram of the cross section drawn by line A-A' in the diagram.

[0155] Reference Figure 1 and Figures 11 to 14 In step S17, a first mask layer 601 can be formed on the insulating interface layer 123, and a plurality of first mask openings 603 can be formed along the first mask layer 601.

[0156] Reference Figure 11 and 12 The first mask layer 601 may be a photoresist layer. The first mask opening 603 may define the pattern of the first redistribution structure 201. In a top perspective view, the first mask openings 603 may be spaced apart from each other and may be arranged along the Y direction. For ease of description, only one first mask opening 603 is described.

[0157] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 14 In the top perspective view, the first mask opening 603 may include horizontally arranged curved sidewalls 603CSW. The higher curved sidewall 603CSW may have a convex shape. The lower curved sidewall 603CSW may have a concave shape. The vertical distance parallel to the Y direction between the curved sidewalls 603CSW of the first mask opening 603 may vary along the direction X perpendicular to the Y direction from a relatively narrow distance D1 to a relatively wide distance D2. Therefore, the width parallel to the Y direction between the curved sidewall 603CSW of the first mask opening 603 and an adjacent curved sidewall 603CSW of the first mask opening 603 may vary along the direction X from a relatively wide width W1 to a relatively narrow width W2.

[0158] The portion of the first mask layer 601 with a wider width W1 can provide additional structural support to prevent collapse or deformation. In contrast, the portion of the first mask layer 601 with a narrower width W2 may have relatively low resistance to collapse or deformation. That is, the portion of the first mask layer 601 with a narrower width W2 may be relatively fragile. However, the aforementioned structural support can compensate for the relatively fragile portion of the first mask layer 601, suppressing or reducing collapse or deformation of the first mask layer 601. In other words, even if some portions of the first mask opening 603 are located on the tapered sidewall 123SW of the insulating interface layer 123, the first mask layer 601 and the first mask opening 603 can be structurally stable. As a result, the subsequently fabricated first redistribution structure 201 can have a larger planar area, representing lower surface resistivity and better electrical transport performance.

[0160] Reference Figure 1 and Figures 15 to 19 In step S19, a first redistribution structure 201 can be formed in the first mask opening 603.

[0161] Reference Figure 15 The first redistribution structure 201 may be formed in the first mask opening 603 and electrically coupled to the first pad 121. In a top perspective view, each first redistribution structure 201 may be a conductive pattern extending from a first region R1 to a second region R2. The first region R1 may be spaced apart from the second region R2. In some embodiments, the first region R1 may correspond to the central region of the semiconductor element 1A, and the second region R2 may correspond to the peripheral region or edge region of the semiconductor element 1A.

[0162] In some embodiments, in a top perspective view, each first redistribution structure 201 may include a first redistribution overlapping unit 203, a first redistribution connecting unit 205, and a first redistribution contact unit 207. The first redistribution overlapping units 203 may be arranged in a row parallel to the Y direction and located in a first region R1. The first redistribution contact units 207 may be arranged in a row parallel to the Y direction and located in a second region R2. The first redistribution connecting unit 205 may connect the first redistribution overlapping units 203 and the first redistribution contact units 207. The first redistribution structure 201 may re-route the first pad 121 to obtain more space for wiring or bumping and prevent the first pad 121 from being affected by wiring or bumping stress.

[0163] Reference Figure 16 In the top perspective view, the first redistribution overlapping unit 203 can be formed on the first pad 121. That is, the first redistribution overlapping unit 203 can overlap perpendicularly with the first pad 121. The first redistribution overlapping unit 203 can be electrically connected to the first pad 121. The first redistribution contact unit 207 can be electrically connected to the first pad 121 through the first redistribution connection unit 205 and the first redistribution overlapping unit 203. The first redistribution contact unit 207 can be used for wiring or bumping to electrically couple the semiconductor element 1A to an external element.

[0164] Reference Figure 16 In the cross-sectional perspective view, each first redistribution structure 201 may include a stacked structure. In some embodiments, each first redistribution structure 201 may include a first redistribution conductive layer 209 and a first redistribution heat release layer 211. The first redistribution heat release layer 211 may be formed on the first redistribution conductive layer 209. The first redistribution conductive layer 209 may include the lower portion of the first redistribution overlapping unit 203, the lower portion of the first redistribution connecting unit 205, and the lower portion of the first redistribution contact unit 207. The first redistribution heat release layer 211 may include the higher portion of the first redistribution overlapping unit 203, the higher portion of the first redistribution connecting unit 205, and the higher portion of the first redistribution contact unit 207.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first redistribution conductive layer 209 may include, for example, tungsten, titanium, tin, nickel, copper, gold, aluminum, platinum, cobalt, or combinations thereof. The first redistribution heat release layer 211 may include a carbon material filled with a flexible material such as a polymer matrix. For example, the first redistribution heat release layer 211 may include generally vertically oriented graphite and carbon nanotubes filled with a fluoropolymer rubber matrix. The aspect ratio of the carbon nanotubes may be between about 1:1 and about 1:100. As another example, the first redistribution heat release layer 211 may include graphitic carbon. As yet another example, the first redistribution heat release layer 211 may include a pyrolytic graphite sheet.

[0166] In some embodiments, the thermal resistance of the first redistribution heat release layer 211, when its thickness is between about 250 μm and about 450 μm, can be less than 0.2 °C / cm². 2 / Watt. In some embodiments, the first redistribution heat release layer 211 may be subjected to a compressive force after wiring or bumping. The compressive force may be between about 30 pounds per square inch (psi) and about 90 psi. The thermal resistance of the first redistribution heat release layer 211 under compressive force may be between about 0.3 °C / cm². 2 / Watt to approximately 0.1℃cm 2 Between / Watt. The first redistribution heat release layer 211 can provide heat dissipation capability for the first redistribution structure 201.

[0167] Reference Figure 17In the top perspective view, the first redistribution overlapping unit 203 may include a first curved sidewall 203CSW-1, a second curved sidewall 203CSW-3, a third sidewall 203SW-1, and a fourth sidewall 203SW-3. The first curved sidewall 203CSW-1 is configured and may have a convex shape. The perpendicular distance parallel to the direction Y between adjacent first curved sidewalls 203CSW-1 of the first redistribution overlapping unit 203 may vary along the direction X from a relatively narrow distance D3 to a relatively wide distance D4. The second curved sidewall 203CSW-3 may be opposite to the first curved sidewall 203CSW-1 and may have a concave shape. That is, the first redistribution overlapping unit 203 may be point-symmetric with respect to its center point. For example, the first curved sidewall 203CSW-1 and the second curved sidewall 203CSW-3 may be mirror-symmetric. The third sidewall 203SW-1 can connect the first edge of the first curved sidewall 203CSW-1 to the first edge of the second curved sidewall 203CSW-3. The fourth sidewall 203SW-3 can connect the second edge of the first curved sidewall 203CSW-1 to the second edge of the second curved sidewall 203CSW-3. The third sidewall 203SW-1 and the fourth sidewall 203SW-3 can be flat and parallel to the Y direction. The first redistribution connection unit 205 can connect the third sidewall 203SW-1.

[0168] Reference Figure 18 In the cross-sectional perspective view, the first curved sidewall 203CSW-1 can be positioned to overlap with the tapering sidewall 123SW between the top edge 503TE and the bottom edge 503BE. (Refer to...) Figures 17 to 19 Although most of the first curved sidewall 203CSW-1 is formed to overlap with the tapered sidewall 123SW, the first edge and the second edge of the first curved sidewall 203CSW-1 can be located outside the top edge 503TE to overlap with the flat top surface of the insulating interface layer 123.

[0169] Reference Figure 18In the cross-sectional perspective view, the first redistribution overlapping unit 203 may include a first extension portion 203E-1 extending from the bottom 203B of the first redistribution overlapping unit 203 to the first curved sidewall 203CSW-1. The bottom 203B may be the portion of the first redistribution overlapping unit 203 that directly contacts the first pad 121. Because the side surface of the first curved sidewall 203CSW-1 corresponding to the first extension portion 203E-1 has a convex shape in the top perspective view, the first extension portion 203E-1 may have a crescent shape in the top perspective view. The first extension portion 203E-1 may be formed to overlap with a portion of the tapered sidewall 123SW. In some embodiments, the distance between the first extension portion 203E-1 and the bottom edge 503BE can be defined by controlling the thickness of the insulating interface layer 123.

[0170] Reference Figure 19 The first redistribution overlapping unit 203 may include a second extension portion 203E-3 extending from the bottom 203B to the third sidewall 203SW-1. The second extension portion 203E-3 may extend to the outer region of the tapered sidewall 123SW to overlap with the horizontal top surface of the insulating interface layer 123.

[0171] Reference Figures 17 to 19 The first redistribution overlapping unit 203 may have a nest-like shape, comprising a bottom 203B, a first extension portion 203E-1, and a second extension portion 203E-3. The first extension portion 203E-1 and the second extension portion 203E-3 may extend from the bottom 203B to cover both the bottom edge 123BE and the bottom edge 503BE. Therefore, even if the first redistribution overlapping unit 203 shifts from its normal position due to process variations, the first pad 121 can still be covered by the first redistribution overlapping unit 203. That is, the overlap margin between the first redistribution overlapping unit 203 and the first pad 121 can be increased to significantly suppress or reduce defects in the first pad 121 that are exposed after the formation of the first redistribution overlapping unit 203.

[0172] After the first redistribution structure 201 is formed, the first mask layer 601 can be removed.

[0174] Reference Figure 1 and Figures 20 to 24 In step S21, multiple second redistribution structures 301 can be formed on the insulating interface layer 123.

[0175] Reference Figure 20 and Figure 21 A second mask layer 605 can be formed on the insulating interface layer 123 and the first redistribution structure 201. A second mask opening 607 can be formed along the second mask layer 605. The second mask layer 605 can be a photoresist layer. The second mask opening 607 can define the pattern of the second redistribution structure 301. In a top perspective view, the second mask openings 607 can be spaced apart from each other and can be configured along the Y direction. A portion of the passivation layer opening 503 can be exposed through the second mask openings 607. It should be noted that in a top perspective view, the second mask openings 607 do not overlap with the first redistribution structure 201.

[0176] Reference Figure 22 The second redistribution structure 301 can be formed in the second mask opening 607 and electrically coupled to the second pad 125 (for clarity, in Figure 22 (Only one is shown in the image). The second pad 125 can be electrically coupled to the component member 105 via a second conductive pattern 109 formed in the interconnect layer 103. In some embodiments, the second pad 125 can be designed for transmitting high-speed signals. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the second pad 125 can be designed for transmitting low-speed signals.

[0177] Reference Figure 23 and Figure 24The second mask layer 605 can be removed. In the top perspective view, the first redistribution structure 201 and the second redistribution structure 301 can be spaced apart from each other and can also be electrically insulated or isolated from each other. The first redistribution structure 201 and the second redistribution structure 301 can be arranged alternately along the Y direction. Each second redistribution structure 301 may include a second redistribution overlapping unit 303, a second redistribution connecting unit 305, and a second redistribution contact unit 307. The second redistribution overlapping unit 303 can be arranged in a row parallel to the Y direction and located in the first region R1. The second redistribution contact unit 307 can be arranged in a row parallel to the Y direction and located in the second region R2. The second redistribution connecting unit 305 can connect the second redistribution overlapping unit 303 and the second redistribution contact unit 307. The second redistribution structure 301 can redefine the second pad 125 to obtain more space for wiring or bumps and prevent the second pad 125 from being affected by wiring or bump stress.

[0178] In some embodiments, in a top perspective view, the first redistribution overlapping unit 203 and the second redistribution overlapping unit 303 can be formed on a first region R1 and arranged in two columns parallel to the direction Y. For example, the first redistribution overlapping unit 203 can be arranged in one of the two columns, and the second redistribution overlapping unit 303 can be arranged in the other of the two columns. The first redistribution contact unit 207 and the second redistribution contact unit 307 can be formed on a second region R2 and arranged in a column parallel to the direction Y. Because the first redistribution contact unit 207 and the second redistribution contact unit 307 are formed on the second region R2, the first redistribution connecting unit 205 and the second redistribution connecting unit 305 can be a linear pattern extending from the first region R1 to the second region R2. In this case, the second redistribution connecting unit 305 can be spaced apart from the first redistribution overlapping unit 203, and each second redistribution connecting unit 305 can pass through the area between adjacent first redistribution overlapping units 203. For ease of description, only one second redistribution structure 301 is described.

In some embodiments, the second redistribution structure 301 may include a second redistribution conductive layer 309 and a second redistribution heat release layer 311. The second redistribution heat release layer 311 may be formed on the second redistribution conductive layer 309. The second redistribution conductive layer 309 may include a lower portion of the second redistribution overlapping unit 303, a lower portion of the second redistribution connecting unit 305, and a lower portion of the second redistribution contact unit 307. The second redistribution heat release layer 311 may include a higher portion of the second redistribution overlapping unit 303, a higher portion of the second redistribution connecting unit 305, and a higher portion of the second redistribution contact unit 307.

[0180] In some embodiments, the second redistribution conductive layer 309 may include, for example, tungsten, titanium, tin, nickel, copper, gold, aluminum, platinum, cobalt, or combinations thereof. The second redistribution heat release layer 311 may include a carbon material filled with a flexible material such as a polymer matrix. For example, the second redistribution heat release layer 311 may include generally vertically oriented graphite and carbon nanotubes filled with a fluoropolymer rubber matrix. The aspect ratio of the carbon nanotubes may be between about 1:1 and about 1:100. As another example, the second redistribution heat release layer 311 may include graphitic carbon. As yet another example, the second redistribution heat release layer 311 may include pyrolytic graphite sheets.

[0181] In some embodiments, the thermal resistance of the second redistributed heat release layer 311, when its thickness is between about 250 μm and about 450 μm, can be less than 0.2 °C / cm². 2 / Watt. In some embodiments, the second redistribution heat release layer 311 may be subjected to compressive force after wiring or bumping. The compressive force may be between about 30 pounds per square inch (psi) and about 90 psi. The thermal resistance of the second redistribution heat release layer 311 under compressive force may be between about 0.3 °C / cm². 2 / Watt to approximately 0.1℃cm 2 Between / Watt. The second redistribution heat release layer 311 can provide heat dissipation capability for the second redistribution structure 301.

[0182] In some embodiments, the second redistribution overlapping unit 303 may have the same characteristics as... Figures 15 to 19 The structure and shape are similar to the first redistributed overlapping unit 203 shown.

[0183] In some embodiments, the thermal resistance of the second redistribution structure 301 may be the same as that of the first redistribution structure 201. In some embodiments, the thermal resistance of the second redistribution structure 301 may be different from that of the first redistribution structure 201. The thermal resistance of the second redistribution structure 301 and the thermal resistance of the first redistribution structure 201 can be adjusted by their thickness.

[0184] In some embodiments, a first redistribution structure 201 with heat dissipation capability can be used to transmit high-speed signals, while a second redistribution structure 301 with heat dissipation capability can be used to transmit low-speed signals, and vice versa.

The barrier layer 213 may be disposed between the first redistribution conductive layer 209 and the first pad 121, and between the first redistribution conductive layer 209 and the insulating interface layer 123. The thickness of the barrier layer 213 may be between about 10 angstroms and about 15 angstroms. In some embodiments, the thickness of the barrier layer 213 may be between about 11 angstroms and about 13 angstroms. The barrier layer 213 may include, for example, titanium, titanium nitride, titanium silicon nitride, tantalum, tantalum nitride, tantalum silicon nitride, or combinations thereof. The barrier layer 213 may serve as an adhesive layer between the first pad 121 and the first redistribution conductive layer 209. The barrier layer 213 may also prevent metal ions from the first redistribution conductive layer 209 from diffusing to the top passivation layer 113 or the insulating interface layer 123.

[0190] Reference Figure 26 The adjustment layer 215 may be disposed between the first redistributed conductive layer 209 and the barrier layer 213.

In some embodiments, the adjustment layer 215 may include, for example, graphene, graphite, or similar materials. In some embodiments, the adjustment layer 215 may include, for example, graphene. Because the adjustment layer 215 formed of graphene has good conductivity, the resistance between the first redistributed conductive layer 209 and the first pad 121 can be reduced. Therefore, the power consumption of the semiconductor device 1C can be reduced.
