[0035] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0036] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 : is a flow chart of an embodiment of the fan-out packaging method of the present application, the method comprising:
[0037] S101: forming a first photoresist layer and a second photoresist layer on a first surface of a carrier substrate in sequence.
[0038] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of an embodiment corresponding to step S101. The specific implementation process of this step includes: first, forming a first photoresist layer 20 on the first surface of the carrier 10, and then forming a second photoresist layer 30 on the first surface of the carrier. One of the first photoresist layer 20 and the second photoresist layer 30 is a positive photoresist, and the other is a negative photoresist; the second photoresist layer 30 covers the side surfaces of the first photoresist layer 20 and the surface of the first photoresist layer 20 facing away from the carrier 10; that is, the orthographic projection of the first photoresist layer 20 on the carrier 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second photoresist layer 30 on the carrier 10. Specifically, the positive photoresist is insoluble in developer before exposure but becomes soluble in developer after exposure; the negative photoresist is soluble in developer before exposure but becomes insoluble in developer after exposure.
[0039] S102: exposing and developing the first photoresist layer and the second photoresist layer simultaneously.
[0040] When the first photoresist layer 20 is a negative photoresist and the second photoresist layer 30 is a positive photoresist, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of an embodiment of step S102. The specific implementation process of step S102 includes: exposing and developing the first photoresist layer 20 and the second photoresist layer 30 simultaneously to form a plurality of first via holes 21 on the first photoresist layer 20, and forming a plurality of second via holes 31 on the second photoresist layer 30 located on the side periphery of the first photoresist layer 20. The height of the second via holes 31 is greater than the height of the first via holes 21. For details, please refer to Figure 3 In Figure a, a film 40 is placed on the side of the second photoresist layer 30 facing away from the carrier 10. The film 40 is provided with a plurality of openings 41. The film 40 is first exposed and then removed. Simultaneously, the first and second photoresist layers 20 and 30 are developed. In this embodiment, the first photoresist layer 20 is a negative photoresist and the second photoresist layer 30 is a positive photoresist. The second photoresist layer 30 at locations corresponding to the openings 41 is removed after development, while the first photoresist layer 20 at locations corresponding to the openings 41 is not removed after development. Furthermore, the second photoresist layer 30 located on the outer side of the first photoresist layer 20 and at locations corresponding to the openings 41 is removed after exposure and development to form a plurality of second vias 31. For the openings 41 whose orthographic projections on the first photoresist layer 20 are located within the first photoresist layer 20, the second photoresist layer 30 at the corresponding positions of these openings 41 is removed through exposure and development. In addition, the first photoresist layer 20 corresponding to the area enclosed by these openings 41 is not exposed because it is blocked by the film 40. Therefore, the first photoresist layer 20 corresponding to the area enclosed by the openings 41 is also removed to form the first via 21 because it is a negative photoresist layer. Based on the fact that the second photoresist layer 30 at the corresponding positions of these openings 41 is removed after development, and the first photoresist layer 20 corresponding to the area enclosed by the openings 41 is removed after development, there is no longer any photoresist layer connected to the second photoresist layer 30 at the area enclosed by the openings 41, and this part of the second photoresist layer 30 is also removed. After removing part of the first photoresist layer 20 and part of the second photoresist layer 30, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in Figure b.
[0041] When the first photoresist layer 20 is a positive photoresist and the second photoresist layer 30 is a negative photoresist, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of another embodiment of step S102. In this embodiment, the specific implementation process of step S102 includes: Figure 4As shown in Figure a, a film 40 is placed on the side of the second photoresist layer 30 facing away from the carrier 10. The film 40 is provided with a plurality of openings 41. The film 40 is first exposed to light. After exposure, the film 40 is removed, and the first and second photoresist layers 20, 30 are simultaneously developed. Regarding the openings 41 located on the outer side of the first photoresist layer 20, the middle portion of the second photoresist layer 30 surrounding the openings 41 is not exposed. Since the second photoresist layer 30 is a negative-tone photoresist, this portion of the second photoresist layer 30 is removed to form the second vias 31. For the openings 41 on the first photoresist layer 20 whose orthographic projections are located within the first photoresist layer 20, the first photoresist layer 20 at the positions corresponding to these openings 41 is removed by development after exposure to form the first vias 21. In addition, the second photoresist layer 30 outside the positions corresponding to these openings 41 and not subjected to exposure is removed after development. Therefore, there is no longer any photoresist layer connected to the second photoresist layer 30 at the positions corresponding to the openings 41 on the first photoresist layer 20 whose orthographic projections are located within the first photoresist layer 20, and this portion of the second photoresist layer 30 is also removed. After removing part of the first photoresist layer 20 and part of the second photoresist layer 30, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in Figure b.
[0042] S103: forming a blocking member in the first via hole and forming a conductive pillar in the second via hole.
[0043] When the first photoresist layer 20 is a negative photoresist and the second photoresist layer 30 is a positive photoresist, please refer to Figure 5a , Figure 5a This is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram corresponding to an embodiment of step S103. Specifically, the specific implementation process of the above step S103 includes: filling the first via 21 and the second via 31 with a conductive material at the same time to form a blocking member 22 and a conductive column 32. The blocking member 22 is flush with the surface of the first photoresist layer 20 at one end facing away from the carrier 10, and the conductive column 32 is flush with the surface of the second photoresist layer 30 at one end facing away from the carrier 10. The blocking member 22 has conductive properties. The conductive material can be one or more of titanium, tantalum, chromium, tungsten, copper, aluminum, nickel, gold, etc., preferably titanium or copper. The conductive column 32 is conducive to realizing a three-dimensional vertical interconnection structure of the fan-out device, and the blocking member 22 helps to improve the stability of the fan-out device.
[0044] When the first photoresist layer 20 is a positive photoresist and the second photoresist layer 30 is a negative photoresist, please refer to Figure 5b , Figure 5bFIG2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of another embodiment of step S103. Specifically, in this embodiment, step S103 includes simultaneously filling the first via hole 21 and the second via hole 31 with a conductive material to form a blocking member 22 and a conductive pillar 32. The end of the blocking member 22 facing away from the carrier 10 is flush with the surface of the first photoresist layer 20, and the end of the conductive pillar 32 facing away from the carrier 10 is flush with the surface of the second photoresist layer 30.
[0045] S104: removing the first photoresist layer and the second photoresist layer.
[0046] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 2 is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram corresponding to step S104 in one embodiment. Specifically, the step S104 includes: removing the first photoresist layer 20 and the second photoresist layer 30 to expose the blocking member 22 and the conductive pillar 32 to facilitate the execution of step S201 .
[0047] Further, see Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a flow chart corresponding to an embodiment after step S104, which includes:
[0048] S201: placing a first chip in an area surrounded by a plurality of blocking members.
[0049] See also Figure 8a , Figure 8a This is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram corresponding to an embodiment of step S201. Specifically, the implementation process of step S201 includes: in response to the first chip 100 including a first functional surface 101 and a first non-functional surface 102 arranged in back to back, the first non-functional surface 102 of the first chip 100 faces the carrier 10.
[0050] See also Figure 8b , Figure 8b FIG2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an embodiment after step S201. Specifically, after step S201 is implemented, the process further includes forming insulating adhesive 25 around at least the periphery of the plurality of blocking members 22. The insulating adhesive 25 can be applied by dripping adhesive, and due to the surface tension of the adhesive, the surface of the insulating adhesive 25 is curved. Alternatively, the insulating adhesive 25 can be applied around the periphery of the plurality of blocking members 22 by dispensing adhesive or other methods. The insulating adhesive 25 can be cylindrical, conical, or other shapes, without limitation. The application of the insulating adhesive 25 around the periphery of the blocking members 22 can provide a certain degree of securement for the blocking members 22.
[0051] S202: Disposing at least one second chip on a side of a first functional surface of the first chip facing away from the carrier, and forming an underfill between at least a second functional surface of the second chip and the carrier.
[0052] See also Figure 9 , Figure 9 is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram corresponding to an embodiment of step S202, Figure 9 It is only indicative. Figure 9 Only two second chips 200 are shown, but in actual applications, one, two, three, or other second chips 200 may be provided. The specific implementation process of step S202 includes: disposing at least one second chip 200 on the side of the first functional surface 101 of the first chip 100 facing away from the carrier 10. The second chip 200 includes a second functional surface 201 and a second non-functional surface 202 disposed opposite to each other. The second functional surface 201 of the second chip 200 faces the first functional surface 101 of the first chip 100. The second chip 200 spans at least a portion of the first chip 100 and at least a portion of the blocking member 22 at least partially adjacent to the first chip 100. The pads on the second functional surface 201 of the second chip 200 are electrically connected to the pads on the first functional surface 101 of the first chip 100 and the blocking member 22 at corresponding locations. In other words, a portion of the blocking member 22 can be electrically connected to the first chip 100 through the second chip 200. Specifically, conductive bumps may be provided on the pads of the first functional surface 101 of the first chip 100, and conductive bumps may be provided on at least a portion of the barrier 22 at least partially adjacent to the first chip 100, to facilitate connections between the second chip 200 and the first chip, and between the second chip 200 and the portion of the barrier 22. By providing at least one second chip 200 on the side of the first functional surface 101 of the first chip 100, packaging of multiple chips can be achieved and the overall height of the fan-out device can be reduced.
[0053] For further information, please refer to Figure 9 , step S202 also includes: forming an underfill 28 at least between the second functional surface 201 of the second chip 200 and the carrier 10, and the blocking member 22 is located in the underfill 28, so as to play a certain role in fixing and protecting the first chip 100, the second chip 200 and the blocking member 22. Specifically, in this application mode, the vertical cross-section of the underfill 28 is a trapezoid, which can improve the stability of the fan-out device; in other application modes, the vertical cross-section of the underfill 28 can also be a rectangle, etc. Optionally, the side of the underfill 28 facing away from the carrier 10 can be flush with the second functional surface 201 of the second chip 200, or it can be higher than the second functional surface 201 of the second chip 200, and this application does not limit this. In addition, in other embodiments, the underfill 28 may not be provided, that is, step S203 is directly executed after the second chip 200 is provided.
[0054] S203: forming a plastic packaging layer on the side of the carrier board where the first chip is disposed.
[0055] See also Figure 10 , Figure 10This is a schematic cross-sectional view of an embodiment corresponding to step S203.

Furthermore, the plastic encapsulation layer 60 is ground from the side facing away from the carrier 10, so that the surfaces of the plastic encapsulation layer 60, the conductive pillars 32, and the second chip 200 facing away from the carrier 10 are flush. Grinding the plastic encapsulation layer 60 from the side facing away from the carrier 10 helps reduce the overall thickness of the packaged fan-out device and improves heat dissipation.

The provision of the plastic encapsulation layer 60 provides a certain degree of fixation and protection for the first chip 100, the conductive pillars 32, and the barrier 22, and encapsulates them into a complete structure.

[0069] Furthermore, after removing the first photoresist layer 20 and the second photoresist layer 30, the process further includes forming a plastic encapsulation layer on the side of the carrier 10 where the first chip 100 is provided, so that the first chip 100, the blocking member 22 and the conductive pillar 32 form an integral structure. Figure 7 The steps in will not be repeated here.
[0070] In this embodiment, step S402 may also include: simultaneously exposing and developing the first photoresist layer 20 and the second photoresist layer 30, forming a plurality of third vias in the photoresist layer covering the first functional surface 101 of the first chip 100, with each third via corresponding to a pad on the first functional surface 101 of the first chip 100. Furthermore, simultaneously forming the conductive pillars 32 in the second vias and the conductive bumps in the third vias. Since the side of the first chip 100 facing away from the substrate 10 is flush with the side of the first photoresist layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10, the third vias can be formed by exposing and developing only the second photoresist layer 30, thereby reducing the difficulty of forming the third vias. Forming the conductive bumps simultaneously with the conductive pillars 32 avoids the need to subsequently separately arrange conductive bumps on the first functional surface 101 of the first chip 100. Arranging the conductive bumps on the first functional surface 101 of the first chip 100 facilitates subsequent arrangement of a chip or a rewiring layer on the side of the first functional surface 101 of the first chip 100.
[0071] In this embodiment, step S401 may also be performed by placing the first functional surface 101 of the first chip 100 toward the carrier 10 , and then forming the first photoresist layer 20 and the second photoresist layer 30 in sequence to form the plurality of blocking members 22 and the conductive pillars 32 .
[0072] The present application forms a plurality of blocking members 22 and a plurality of conductive pillars 32 on the carrier board by arranging a first photoresist layer 20 and a second photoresist layer 30, one of which is a positive photoresist and the other is a negative photoresist, on the carrier board 10. The plurality of blocking members 22 and the plurality of conductive pillars 32 are equivalent to a cofferdam retaining wall, which helps to limit the movement of the plastic encapsulation material in the fan-out device, thereby reducing the deformation of the plastic encapsulation material due to shrinkage and reducing the probability of warping of the first chip 100. In addition, the conductive pillars 32 can also realize a three-dimensional vertical interconnection structure, which is beneficial to reducing the height of the fan-out device. The design of blocking members 22 and conductive pillars 32 of different heights can effectively save material costs.
