AI Technical Summary
In existing advanced packaging technologies, the large size of the Si interposer layer leads to high costs and cannot be further reduced in size. It also makes it impossible to achieve efficient interconnection of high, medium, and low density wiring at the same time, which limits the integration and computing performance of the chip.
The FCBGA substrate with low-density wiring, the Si interposer with high-density RDL wiring, and the organic dielectric layer with medium-density RDL wiring are used. The electrical connection of wiring with different densities is achieved through fan-out panel-level packaging. The Si interposer is embedded in the substrate surface, and the organic dielectric layer is electrically connected to the Si interposer and the substrate.
It achieves a low-cost, high input/output density packaging structure, which can integrate more HBM and processor chips, improve computing performance, and reduce the connection spacing between the chip and the Si interposer and the packaging cost.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of semiconductor packaging, and particularly relates to an advanced packaging structure with Si and organic interposer and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the need of higher memory bandwidth for various applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), data center, high performance computing (HPC), network and graphics acceleration cards, advanced packaging becomes an increasingly important factor to support high bandwidth memory (HBM) wide I / O. Currently, there are three advanced packaging technologies used in the industry, TSMC's CoWoS (Chip on Wafer on Substrate), Intel's EMIB (Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge) and Samsung's H-Cube.
[0003] TSMC's CoWoS: Typical 2.5D packaging, the chips of Processor, logic and HBM are mounted on the Si interposer, and there are multiple layers of redistribution layer (RDL) on the Si interposer, the line width and pitch of the redistribution layer wiring is less than 1.2 microns (um). Such fine wiring can provide high and medium density signal connection between chips, which cannot be provided by FCBGA substrate (or called carrier board), and medium and low density signal connection. The Si interposer is mounted on the FCBGA substrate, and the Si interposer has TSV (through silicon via) to guide the upper layer signal to the lower layer, and then make signal conduction with the FCBGA substrate. The fabrication of Si interposer wafer is completed by wafer factory, because of the limitation of reticle and exposure process equipment, it is difficult to make the Si interposer large enough to place many chips, in addition, the high cost is the criticism of CoWoS.
[0004] Intel's EMIB: Intel's approach is to reduce the size of the expensive Si interposer, the Si interposer does not have TSV (through silicon via) to guide the upper layer signal to the lower layer, because the signal is only transmitted in the RDL on the surface of the Si interposer, there is no TSV to potentially reduce the performance of the chip.
[0005] Single or multiple Si interposer embedded in FCBGA substrate, high and medium density signal connection routing design on Si interposer, low density signal connection routing design on FCBGA substrate, although the size of Si interposer is reduced to reduce the cost, but the FCBGA substrate cannot design medium density signal connection routing (line width and line spacing between 8um to 1.5um), ABF material has silica filler, blind via hole cannot be opened by etching, laser drilling blind via hole, size is limited, too small hole cannot be drilled, so the size and pitch of the joint between the substrate and the chip cannot be reduced, the size of Si interposer and chip cannot be further reduced, and the cost cannot be reduced.
[0006] The pitch of the joint between the chip and the Si interposer is 55um, and the pitch of the joint between the chip and the FCBGA substrate is 130um.
[0007] Samsung's H-Cube: basically similar to TSMC's CoWoS, the chip is mounted on a large Si interposer, the Si interposer is mounted on a fine pitch substrate, and the fine pitch substrate is mounted on a high density interconnect (HDI) substrate. Because a large Si interposer and two substrates are used, the problem faced is the same as CoWoS, the Si interposer is difficult to be large enough and the cost is very high.
[0008] Therefore, the existing method is either a large size Si interposer (because all high, medium and low density routing is on it), resulting in high cost, or a reduced size Si interposer, high and medium density routing on it, FCBGA substrate can only design low density (line width and line spacing greater than 8um) routing, Si interposer size cannot be further reduced, even when more chips are placed, Si interposer size must be increased, and cost cannot be further reduced.

Among them, CoWoS can provide the best solution for high input / output density, but the cost is very high. The other two solutions have lower cost, but can provide lower input / output density. The present application has low cost and high input / output density, which is very helpful for integrating more HBM to improve the operation efficiency.
[0056] Specifically, as shown in 1-11, Figures 1-5 The structure schematic diagram provided by each step of the FCBGA substrate process technology provided by the embodiment of the present application; Figure 6 The structure schematic diagram provided by the FCBGA substrate embedded Si interlayer process technology provided by the embodiment of the present application; Figures 7-11 The structure schematic diagram provided by each step of the FCBGA substrate organic dielectric layer process technology provided by the embodiment of the present application.
[0057] The advanced packaging structure with Si and organic interlayer provided by the embodiment of the present application mainly utilizes interlayers of different materials to show different line widths and pitches to support the mutual connection of signals between high input / output (I / O: Input / Output) density chips.
[0058] The advanced packaging structure with Si and organic interposer mainly comprises a low-density wiring substrate 1, a high-density RDL wiring Si interposer 2, and a medium-density RDL wiring organic dielectric layer 3, wherein the Si interposer 2 is embedded on the surface of the substrate 1, and the organic dielectric layer 3 is fan-out panel-level packaged on the surface of the Si interposer 2 and the substrate 1 and electrically connected with the substrate 1 and the Si interposer 2; wherein the line width and distance of the low-density wiring are greater than those of the medium-density RDL wiring, and the line width and distance of the medium-density RDL wiring are greater than those of the high-density RDL wiring. Preferably, the line width and distance of the low-density wiring are greater than 8 μm, the line width and distance of the medium-density RDL wiring are between 8 μm and 1.5 μm, and the line width and distance of the high-density RDL wiring are less than 1.5 μm.
[0059] As shown in Figures 1-5 , the substrate 1 is preferably an FCBGA substrate, comprising a core layer 11 and a plurality of layers of build-up wiring layers 12 stacked on the two surfaces of the core layer 11, and each layer of build-up wiring layer 12 and the core layer 11 are electrically connected by laser drilling and metal plating in the hole.
[0060] As shown in Figure 1 , the core layer 11 of the FCBGA substrate 1 has a plurality of layers, and the main three layers are the middle layer of glass fiber and resin material, and the upper and lower layers of the middle layer are copper foil 112. The through hole 111 is opened on the core layer 11 substrate, the through hole 111 is plated with copper (or other equivalent metal), and the copper foil 112 outside the circuit part is removed by etching to form a circuit and the upper and lower two layers of circuit are conducted through the through hole 111 and the copper plating in the hole.
[0061] The upper and lower surfaces of the core layer 11 are respectively pressed with a plurality of layers of build-up wiring layers 12, and the build-up wiring layers 12 on the two surfaces of the core layer 11 are electrically connected through the through hole 111 and the copper plating in the hole. Each layer of build-up wiring layer 12 further comprises an ABF build-up film 121 and a circuit formed by copper conductive lines 122 (or other equivalent metal conductive lines) on the surface of the ABF build-up film 121. Specifically, a laminating process (or a build-up process) is used to press ABF (Ajinomoto Build-up Film) or equivalent materials on both surfaces of the core layer 11, the circuit pattern is exposed, and the copper conductive circuit is directly formed by developing, etching and copper plating treatment. The laminating process is repeated for a plurality of times to stack and build up, and the blind holes 123 are used for electrical connection between the copper conductive lines 122 in each layer, the blind holes 123 are drilled by laser, and the size is limited, too small holes cannot be drilled, and the blind holes 123 are filled with electroplated copper 124 (or other equivalent metal). The laminating process is repeated for a plurality of times to the required number of layers, as shown in Figures 2-4 .
[0062] A cavity 13 is formed in the ABF addition film 121 of the last addition layer 12 on the upper surface of the FCBGA substrate 1 to accommodate the Si interposer 2, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the gap between the Si interposer 2 and the cavity 13 is filled with resin 23. The Si interposer 2 has high-density RDL wiring, and copper bumps or copper pillars 21 (or other equivalent metal bumps) are provided at the contact positions on the upper surface of the Si interposer 2. When the Si interposer 2 is embedded in the cavity 13 on the upper surface of the FCBGA substrate 1, these copper bumps or copper pillars 21 face upwards and are coplanar with the surface contacts of the FCBGA substrate 1, such as... Figure 7 As shown, after embedding the Si interposer 2 on the FCBGA substrate 1, the augmentation circuit layer 12 can be further laminated on the upper surface of the FCBGA substrate 1, and the height of the electroplated copper 124 in the laser opening between the augmentation circuit layers 12 can be made consistent with the height of the copper bump or copper pillar 21.
[0063] like Figures 8-10 As shown, the organic dielectric layer 3 includes alternating stacked multilayer polyimide 31 and multilayer medium-density RDL wiring 32. Electrical conduction between the medium-density RDL wiring 32 layers is achieved through etched openings in the polyimide 31 and electroplated copper (or other equivalent metal) within the openings. The medium-density RDL wiring 32 and polyimide 31 within the organic dielectric layer 3 are fabricated on the FCBGA substrate 1 and the Si interposer layer 2 using a fan-out panel-level package. The medium-density RDL wiring 32 electrically connects the low-density wiring on the FCBGA substrate 1 and the high- and medium-density RDL wiring on the Si interposer layer 2. The Si interposer layer 2 and the organic dielectric layer 3 are disposed on the upper surface of the FCBGA substrate 1, and solder ball pads 5 are provided on the lower surface of the FCBGA substrate 1. Figure 11 As shown, the upper surface of the organic dielectric layer 3 has tin-copper bumps 4. The tin-copper bumps 4 can be used to solder the tin-copper bumps on the memory chip 9. Approximately close to the position of the memory chip 8, the line width and spacing of the medium-density RDL wiring 32 in the organic dielectric layer 3 are finer, even as fine as 1.5μm to 2.0μm.
[0064] Embedding a smaller Si interposer in an FCBGA can reduce costs, simplify the packaging process, and lower the packaging cost. However, because high- and medium-density wiring is located on the Si interposer, the size of the Si interposer cannot be further reduced; in fact, when more chips are placed on it, the size of the Si interposer needs to be increased.
[0065] This invention removes medium-density wiring from the Si interposer and places it in a polyimide organic dielectric layer, which can be designed with medium-density wiring (RDL linewidth and spacing capabilities between 10 and 1.5 micrometers) and at a lower cost.
[0066] Throughout the electronic and semiconductor supply chain, the wafer foundry process mainly handles 1 micron (um) to 3 nanometer (nm) line width and spacing, the printed circuit board process handles several millimeters (mm) or more line width and spacing, the packaging factory process handles several millimeters (mm) to several microns (um) line width and spacing, and the substrate used in the packaging factory process handles 8 microns (um) to several hundred microns line width and spacing, and the bump of the packaging factory, the fan-in / fan-out packaging process can handle tens of microns to 1 micron line width and spacing, which is used to solve the bottleneck encountered by the current advanced packaging.
[0067] The difference between the fan-in wafer level package (FI-WLP) and the fan-out wafer level package (FO-WLP) is mainly that the tin balls of the fan-in package are within the range of the chip, and the tin balls of the fan-out package are outside the range of the chip.
[0068] The fan-out wafer level packaging process of the packaging factory (some wafer factories also have) is to pull the required circuit from the end point (PAD) of the semiconductor bare die to the redistribution layer (Redistribution Layer), and then form a package. Therefore, there is no need for a packaging substrate, no need for wire (Wire) and bump (Bump), which can reduce production costs and make the chip and package thinner. In order to form the redistribution layer, the front-end process must be introduced to the packaging, which greatly improves the process capability of the packaging factory from several millimeters to several microns.
[0069] Wafer level packaging is mainly based on wafer level process, and the process handles one or more wafers as a unit.
[0070] FOWLP process is divided into two categories:
[0071] Chip-first FO: Place on wafer level carrier, pick out qualified dies (KGD, known good die) from raw device wafers, cover with re-constitution wafer by molding resin, further process RDL on wafer, ball planting, carrier removal, singulation.
[0072] RDL-first FO: Wafer level carrier establishes RDL layer and temporary bonding, places KGD on the top and covers with molding resin, grinding, carrier removal, ball planting, singulation.
[0073] Under these two process architectures, various changes can also be derived according to different customer needs, such as die facing up bonding, die facing down bonding, RDL fine line first, RDL thick line first type. The RDL line width and spacing capability of FOWLP can be as small as 1.5 microns.
[0074] FOWLP is more suitable for chip size less than 5mm 2 If the chip is very large, the wafer level is arc-shaped, which will waste a lot of wafer space. The solution is to use fan-out packaging FOPLP (fan-out panel level package) to save space and increase the output per unit, thereby greatly reducing the cost.
[0075] The panel level process capability can be the same as the wafer level, if the working area of the wafer level equipment is enlarged, of course, this must be developed with the material and equipment suppliers to develop suitable materials and process equipment to achieve the same process capability, the RDL line width and spacing capability can be as small as 1.5 microns.
[0076] With the newly developed materials and equipment, the RDL process line width and spacing capability of fan-out panel level packaging can be as small as 1.5 microns, which meets the demand of medium-density wiring (RDL line width and spacing capability between 10-1.5 microns), so the process of fan-out panel level packaging can be used to make medium-density interlayers.
[0077] Si interlayer provides high RDL wiring density, fan-out panel level packaging process provides medium-density RDL wiring, and FCBGA substrate provides low-density wiring. Advanced packaging can provide processor, logic and HBM multi-chip integration in advanced packaging, and HBM from 1 to 6 can be placed in the package. The more HBM, the better the processor Processor operation efficiency.
[0078] The scheme provided by the present application is to embed the Si interlayer with high-density RDL wiring in the FCBGA substrate with low-density wiring, which can be completed in the substrate factory. The process of the substrate factory is panel level, so it is not cut into single pieces first, and then sent to the place with fan-out panel level packaging process (RDL line width and spacing capability as small as 1.5 microns). The organic dielectric layer with multiple layers of RDL (medium-density wiring) is made on the surface of the substrate, and the top has copper-tin bumps as the electrical connection for subsequent chip mounting. Finally, it is cut into single pieces and shipped to the packaging factory for subsequent FCBGA process.
[0079] Cooperation Figures 1-11 As shown in the figure, the manufacturing method for manufacturing the advanced packaging structure with Si and organic interlayer as in the above embodiment is provided, and the manufacturing method comprises:
[0080] Step 1: Make Si interposer with high-density RDL wiring, which is provided with high-density RDL wiring and copper bumps or pillars 21 (or other equivalent metal bumps) at the surface contact position of the Si interposer 2, and the copper bumps or pillars 21 are electrically connected to the high-density RDL wiring.
[0081] Step 2: Make FCBGA substrate 1 with low-density wiring, and open a cavity 13 on the upper surface of the FCBGA substrate 1 corresponding to the position of the Si interposer 2.
[0082] Specifically, the steps for making the FCBGA substrate 1 further include:
[0083] Making the substrate core layer 11, which is etched to form a circuit by opening a through hole 111 on the core layer 11, plating copper (or other equivalent metal), and etching the copper foil 122 on both sides of the core layer 11 to make the circuit, as shown in Figure 1
[0084] Stacking several layers of build-up wiring layers 12 on both sides of the core layer 11, respectively, and electrically connecting each layer of build-up wiring layers 12 and the core layer 11 through laser blind holes 123 and blind holes 123 filled with electroplated copper 124 (or other equivalent metal).
[0085] More specifically, the build-up wiring layer 12 adopts a laminate process (or build-up process). ABF (Ajinomoto Build-up Film) build-up film 121 or equivalent material is pressed on both sides of the core layer, the circuit pattern is exposed, and the circuit (i.e. the circuit composed of copper wires 122) is directly formed by copper plating treatment. Repeat the process multiple times to stack the build-up (laminate), and the blind holes 123 are used for electrical connection between the copper wires 122 of each layer, which are drilled by laser, with limited size, and too small holes cannot be drilled. The laminate process is repeated several times to the required number of layers, as shown in Figures 2-4
[0086] Step 3: Hollow out the cavity on the top surface of the FCBGA substrate 1 at the location where the Si interposer 2 (with multiple layers of RDL lines with line width and pitch less than 1.5 microns) is to be placed. The contact pads on the top surface of the Si interposer 2 have copper bumps or pillars 21. The copper bumps or pillars 21 of the Si interposer 2 are facing upwards. The bottom of the Si interposer 2 is fixed in the cavity 13. The gap between the Si interposer 2 and the cavity 13 is filled with resin 23. After that, the ABF build-up film 121 is pressed to cover the Si interposer 2 (with copper bumps or pillars 21 on the top surface) and the copper traces 122 on the substrate 1. Laser is used to create blind via holes 123 on the substrate 1. The blind via holes 123 are filled with electroplated copper 124 (or other equivalent metals) to the same height as the copper bumps or pillars 21 on the top surface of the Si interposer 2, as shown in Figures 5-7 .
[0087] Step 4: After the build-up process, the outer layer process is carried out. The substrate 1 is cleaned, inspected for appearance and electrical properties, and the process of the FCBGA substrate 1 is completed.
[0088] Step 5: The substrate 1 panel is sent to the fan-out panel level packaging production line. The surface topography of the substrate panel prepared by the substrate factory is not flat, which has a negative impact on the formation of subsequent fine lines (such as broken lines and short circuits). After cleaning the panel, the lower surface is adhered to the glass carrier 6 with adhesive 7. The upper surface is the ABF build-up film 121 (with multiple blind via holes 123 and electroplated copper 124 filled in the blind via holes 123). The surface of the ABF build-up film 121 is polished by mechanical polishing or chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). The polishing is performed until the copper bumps or pillars 21 on the top surface of the Si interposer 2 and the electroplated copper 124 filled in the blind via holes 123 are exposed and reach the designed thickness and flatness.
[0089] Step 6: After polishing, the substrate 1 panel is cleaned. Multiple layers of medium-density RDL wiring 32 and multiple layers of dielectric layer (polyimide or equivalent material) are formed on the flat surface. The polyimide 31 between the layers of medium-density RDL wiring 32 is opened with blind via holes. The blind via holes are opened by etching, and electroplated buried holes are used for electrical connection between the copper traces of each layer. The closer to the chip, the finer the line width and pitch of the medium-density RDL wiring 32, even as fine as 1.5-2.0 microns. Therefore, by controlling the thickness of the layers of medium-density RDL wiring 32 and dielectric layer, selecting the material of the dielectric layer, and optimizing the process, the surface topography of the dielectric layer can be made as flat as possible. Only in this way can the patterned RDL copper traces meet the requirement of fine lines. As shown in Figures 8-10 .
[0090] Step 7: After the last layer of the middle density RDL wiring 32 and the polyimide 31 are completed, the polyimide 31 is opened by exposure, development and etching. Because the opening is achieved by etching, the size and pitch of the opening can be reduced, and the tin-copper bump 4 is formed on the contact part of the chip (die). The panel is cut into multiple single FCBGA substrates, and the appearance and electrical properties are checked, and the package factory continues the subsequent process. The polyimide 31 is opened by etching, which has smaller size and pitch than the laser opening of ABF, so the pitch between the contacts of the chip and the Si interposer can be reduced to 35-40um (currently 55um). The size of the chip and the Si interposer can be reduced. The cost is reduced. As shown in Figure 11
[0091] Step 8: The package factory flips the processor 8, logic and 1-6 high bandwidth memory (HBM) chips 9 on the upper surface of the FCBGA substrate 1, the tin-copper bumps on the chip 9 are welded to the contacts of the tin-copper bumps 4 on the upper surface of the FCBGA substrate 1 to make electrical conduction, the gap between the chip 9 and the substrate 1 is filled with underfill 10, a heat sink is attached, the heat sink and the back of the chip have thermal interface material (TIM), which helps heat conduction. Finally, the ball pads on the lower surface of the FCBGA substrate 1 are planted with multiple tin balls to form a tin ball pad 5, and the heat sink is covered with a stamp, the appearance and electrical properties are checked, and the packaging process of the FCBGA substrate is completed, as shown in Figure 11
