Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chip packaging, and in particular to a component suitable for chip interconnection and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, I / O pins of different sizes are provided on the same chip. When preparing conductive pillars and solder bumps on the said I / O pins, the same sputtering metal nucleation layer process and electroplating conductive pillar process are usually adopted, resulting in the corresponding conductive pillars, solder bumps and interconnecting conductive pads on the I / O pins having the same overall height. However, in the subsequent high-temperature reflow soldering process, solder bumps of the same height form spheres under the action of surface tension, resulting in the shrinkage of the solder balls in height; the larger the diameter of the solder bump, the smaller the shrinkage of the formed sphere in the vertical direction, resulting in poor conductivity between the solder balls formed by the solder bumps with smaller diameters and the interconnecting conductive pads. In addition, the greater the difference in the horizontal cross-sectional area of the chip I / O pins, the more serious the degree of poor conductivity between the solder balls and the interconnecting conductive pads.

[0042] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in 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.
[0043] Before describing this embodiment, it is necessary to elaborate on the problems mentioned in the background technology: In the prior art, due to the special circuit design built into the chip, it is usually necessary to realize the transmission of different current densities and / or different signal strengths on the same chip, so there will be I / O pins of different sizes on the same chip, such as Figure 1 a and Figure 1 As shown in b, the conductive pillar 11 in the chip 100 is electrically connected to the built-in conductive pad 10 thereof, and the solder block 12 arranged on the conductive pillar 11, and the interconnection conductive pad 13 is arranged on the interconnection carrier 1, wherein the interconnection conductive pad 13 can be designed as an interconnection conductive pad 13a corresponding to the larger solder block 12a on the chip 100, or an interconnection conductive pad 13b corresponding to the smaller solder block 12b on the chip 100, or all the interconnection conductive pads on the interconnection carrier 1 can be designed as the interconnection conductive pad 13a corresponding to the larger solder block 12a on the chip 100. After the solder block 12 on the chip 100 corresponds one-to-one with the interconnection conductive pad 13 on the interconnection carrier 1, the solder block is melted by a high-temperature reflow process, and the solder block forms a solder ball under the action of surface tension, forming an alloy interconnection structure between the conductive pillar 11 and the interconnection conductive pad 13. However, if there are conductive pillars 11 and solder blocks 12 of different sizes in the same chip, the use of conventional interconnection structure and preparation process will result in the following Figure 2The poor soldering phenomenon shown is caused by the fact that, when preparing conductive pillars 11 and solder bumps 12 for I / O pins of different sizes on a chip, the chip is typically uniformly subjected to photolithography openings, deposition of stacked metal layers, and copper electroplating. Since the copper electroplating process takes the same time, the heights of the conductive pillars 11 and solder bumps 12 prepared at corresponding locations on I / O pins of different sizes are the same. During high-temperature reflow soldering, the solder bumps 12 form spheres under the action of surface tension. The diameter or height of the reflow solder bumps is positively correlated with the horizontal cross-sectional area of the solder bumps. Therefore, the reflow solder bumps with larger diameters can form good electrical connections with the interconnecting conductive pads, while the reflow solder bumps with smaller diameters cannot form good interconnections with the interconnecting conductive pads, significantly increasing the interconnection resistance between the smaller diameter solder bumps and the interconnecting conductive pads. If the cross-sectional areas corresponding to different I / O pins on the same chip differ significantly, the smaller diameter reflow solder bumps may even lose connectivity with the interconnecting conductive pads.
[0044] The interconnection carrier includes but is not limited to: a packaging substrate, a metal wiring layer structure (RDL), a silicon carrier with TSV conductive vias, a bridge chip with TSV conductive vias, a chip package with an electrical connection layer, a glass carrier with conductive vias, and a ceramic carrier with conductive vias.
[0045] In a first aspect, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a chip interconnection component, which specifically includes the following embodiments:

[0047] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a first chip interconnection component provided by an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 As shown, the chip interconnection component is used in the welding of the chip interconnection base and the interconnection carrier, wherein the chip interconnection base includes a first stacked metal layer 22a, a first conductive pillar 24a, and a second stacked metal layer 22b, a second conductive pillar 24b. The interconnection carrier includes a first interconnection conductive pad corresponding to the first conductive pillar 24a and a second interconnection conductive pad corresponding to the second conductive pillar 24b. The cross-sectional area of the first conductive pillar 24a is larger than the cross-sectional area of the second conductive pillar 24b. The chip interconnection component includes:
[0048] A first conductive structure is provided between the first conductive column 24a and the first interconnected conductive pad, and is used to interconnect and weld the first conductive column 24a and the first interconnected conductive pad, and form a first conductive height after welding;
[0049] A second conductive structure is provided between the second conductive column 24b and the second interconnected conductive pad, and is used to interconnect and weld the second conductive column 24b and the second interconnected conductive pad, and form a second conductive height after welding;
[0050] The first conductive height is the same as the second conductive height.
[0051] In a first implementation of this embodiment, the second conductive structure includes: a compensation metal column 32, which is arranged on the second conductive column 24b and is used to compensate for the conductive height between the chip interconnection base and the interconnection carrier; a second welding body 35b, which is arranged on the compensation metal column 32 and is used to weld the second conductive column 24b to the second interconnection conductive pad through the compensation metal column 32.
[0052] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this embodiment are:
[0053] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, by preparing a compensation metal column 32 with a certain height on the second conductive column 24b with a smaller diameter, a good conductive interconnection structure is formed between the second interconnection solder ball 36b formed by the first welding body 35b corresponding to the compensation metal column 32 after high-temperature reflow and the second conductive column 24b and the second interconnection conductive pad 13b; and by preparing the first conductive structure on the first conductive column 24a with a larger diameter, a good conductive interconnection structure is formed between the first interconnection solder ball 36a formed after high-temperature reflow and the first conductive column 24a and the first interconnection conductive pad 13a, so that the welding height formed after the first conductive column and the first interconnection conductive pad are welded to each other is the same as the welding height formed after the second conductive column and the second interconnection conductive pad are welded to each other, thereby solving the problem of poor interconnection between the reflow solder ball with a smaller diameter and the conductive pad when I / O pins of different sizes on the same chip are interconnected with the conductive pad on the interconnection carrier.
[0054] In a second aspect, this embodiment provides a method for preparing a chip interconnect substrate, and the specific process steps are as follows:
[0055] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for preparing a chip interconnect substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the method for preparing the chip interconnect substrate specifically includes the following steps:
[0056] Step S101 : providing a carrier board and a silicon wafer including a plurality of chips, wherein the carrier board is bonded to the passive surface of the silicon wafer by bonding adhesive.
[0057] In this embodiment, if Figure 5As shown, silicon wafer S1 includes multiple chips 100. The active surface of chip 100 includes a first internal conductive pad 10a and a second internal conductive pad 10b, with the cross-sectional area of the first internal conductive pad 10a being larger than that of the second internal conductive pad 10b. The active surface corresponds to the passive surface of the silicon wafer. A carrier C1 is connected to the passive surface of silicon wafer S1 via bonding adhesive F1. The silicon wafer is thinned before being bonded to the bonding adhesive.
[0058] In step S102 , a photoresist is applied on the active surface of the silicon wafer to obtain a first chip photoresist layer, and the first chip photoresist layer is exposed and developed to obtain a first chip mask layer having a first opening array.
[0059] It should be noted that if Figure 6 As shown in FIG. a, a layer of photoresist is coated on the active surface of the silicon wafer S1 to obtain a first chip photoresist layer 20a; wherein, a dielectric film with a UV photosensitive agent can also be used as a mask layer by hot pressing. Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 2 , the first chip photoresist layer 20a is exposed and developed by a photolithography process to obtain a first chip mask layer 20b having a first opening array, wherein the first opening array includes a first chip opening 211 corresponding to the first built-in conductive pad 10a and a second chip opening 212 corresponding to the second built-in conductive pad 10b.
[0060] Step S103: preparing a laminated metal layer on the first chip mask layer.
[0061] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, several layers of stacked metal layers 22 are sputtered on the first chip mask layer 20b. In a specific stacked metal layer structure, the stacked metal layer includes a sputtered metal barrier layer and a copper seed layer; the metal barrier layer includes Ti, Ni, Cu, Pd, Pt or Ti-W, and its function is to prevent copper atoms from diffusing to the chip substrate.
[0062] Step S104 , coating photoresist on the stacked metal layer to obtain a second chip photoresist layer, and exposing and developing the second chip photoresist layer to obtain a second chip mask layer having a second opening array.
[0063] It should be noted that if Figure 8 As shown in a, a photoresist layer is coated on the laminated metal layer to obtain a second chip photoresist layer 23a;
[0064] like Figure 8As shown in FIG. 2 , the second chip photoresist layer 23a is exposed and developed by a photolithography process to obtain a second chip mask layer 23b having a second opening array, wherein the second opening array includes a third chip opening 221 corresponding to the first chip opening 211 and a fourth chip opening 222 corresponding to the second chip opening 212.
[0065] Furthermore, the stacked metal layer 22 includes a stacked metal layer on the first opening array and a mask stacked metal layer outside the first opening array.
[0066] Step S105 , electroplating copper at the third chip opening and the fourth chip opening to prepare first conductive pillars and second conductive pillars, and then obtaining the chip interconnection substrate.
[0067] In this embodiment, copper is electroplated at the third chip opening and the fourth chip opening to prepare the first conductive pillar and the second conductive pillar, and then the chip interconnection matrix is obtained, including: after copper is electroplated at the third chip opening and the fourth chip opening to prepare the first conductive pillar and the second conductive pillar, the second chip mask layer, the laminated metal layer and the first chip mask layer are cleaned and removed to obtain the chip interconnection matrix.
[0068] Optionally, copper is electroplated at the third chip opening and the fourth chip opening to prepare the first conductive pillar and the second conductive pillar, and then the chip interconnection matrix is obtained, including: after copper is electroplated at the third chip opening and the fourth chip opening to prepare the first conductive pillar and the second conductive pillar, the second chip mask layer, the stacked metal layer and the first chip mask layer are retained to obtain the chip interconnection matrix.
[0069] In this embodiment, if Figures 8-9 As shown, a copper electroplating process is performed on the stacked metal layers corresponding to the third chip opening 221 and the fourth chip opening 222 to prepare first conductive pillars 24a and second conductive pillars 24b. The height of the conductive pillars can be greater than, less than, or equal to the height of the second chip mask layer 23b.
[0070] In the first embodiment of the obtained chip interconnection matrix, as shown in FIG. Figure 10 As shown in a, the second chip mask layer 23b, the mask stacked metal layer outside the first opening array, and the first chip mask layer 20b are cleaned and removed in sequence to prepare a chip interconnect substrate P1 connected to the chip built-in conductive pad on the chip active surface, wherein the chip interconnect substrate P1 includes a stacked metal layer, a first conductive column 24a and a second conductive column 24b.
[0071] In the second embodiment of the obtained chip interconnect matrix, Figure 10As shown in b, copper is electroplated at the third chip opening and the fourth chip opening to prepare the first conductive pillar and the second conductive pillar. Different from the first method mentioned above, the chip interconnection substrate P1' here does not need to remove the second chip mask layer, the mask stacked metal layer outside the first opening array and the first chip mask layer, that is, the photoresist mask layer and the stacked metal layer jointly surround the first conductive pillar and the second conductive pillar.
[0072] In a second aspect, this embodiment provides a method for preparing a chip interconnect component, and the specific process steps are as follows:
[0073] Figure 11 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for preparing a first chip interconnection component according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. Figure 11 As shown, the method for preparing the chip interconnection component specifically includes the following steps:
[0074] Step S201 : providing a chip interconnect substrate P1 , and coating photoresist on first conductive pillars and second conductive pillars of the chip interconnect substrate to obtain a first interconnect photoresist layer.
[0075] It should be noted that if Figure 12 As shown, photoresist is coated on the first conductive pillars 24a and the second conductive pillars 24b of the chip interconnect substrate to obtain a first interconnect photoresist layer 30a; wherein, a dielectric film with ultraviolet photosensitizer that is hot-pressed can also be used as a mask layer to replace the first interconnect photoresist layer 30a.
[0076] This process step can also refer to Figure 10 As shown in b, photoresist is directly coated on the chip interconnect substrate P1' to save photoresist materials and simplify the process flow.
[0077] Step S202 : exposing and developing the first interconnect photoresist layer to obtain a first interconnect mask layer having a first interconnect opening, wherein the first interconnect opening corresponds to the second conductive pillar.
[0078] like Figure 13 As shown, the first interconnect photoresist layer 30a is exposed and developed to obtain a first interconnect mask layer 30b having a first interconnect opening 31, wherein the first interconnect opening 31 corresponds to the second conductive pillar 24b.
[0079] Step S203 , preparing a compensation metal column at the first interconnect opening.
[0080] like Figure 14 As shown, a copper electroplating process is performed at the first interconnection opening 31 to obtain a compensation metal pillar 32 .
[0081] Step S204 , coating photoresist on the compensation metal pillar to obtain a second interconnect photoresist layer, exposing and developing the second interconnect photoresist layer to obtain a second interconnect mask layer having an interconnect opening array.
[0082] like Figure 15 As shown in a, a photoresist is coated on the compensation metal pillar 32 to obtain a second interconnect photoresist layer 33a;
[0083] like Figure 15 As shown in FIG. 2 , the second interconnect photoresist layer 33a is exposed and developed to obtain a second interconnect mask layer 33b having an interconnect opening array; wherein the interconnect opening array includes a second interconnect opening 341 corresponding to the first conductive column 24a and a third interconnect opening 342 corresponding to the compensation metal column 32.
[0084] Step S205 , depositing solder at the second interconnect opening and the third interconnect opening to form a first conductive structure on the first conductive pillar and a first solder body on the compensation metal pillar, thereby obtaining a chip interconnection component.
[0085] like Figure 16 As shown, solder is deposited at the second interconnect opening 341 and the third interconnect opening 342 to form a first conductive structure 35a on the first conductive pillar 24a and a first solder body 35b on the compensation metal pillar 32; after cleaning and removing the second interconnect mask layer 33b and the first interconnect mask layer 30b, the following is obtained. Figure 2 The chip interconnection component shown in FIG. wherein the solder comprises tin-based alloy solder.
[0086] In this embodiment, after the chip interconnection component is prepared on the chip interconnection substrate P1 and interconnected with the interconnection carrier, the following steps are further included:
[0087] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the first conductive structure and first solder body on the chip interconnect component are aligned one-to-one with the interconnect conductive pads on the interconnect carrier. The larger-diameter first conductive structure 35a corresponds to the first interconnect conductive pad 13a, and the smaller-diameter first solder bump 35b corresponds to the second interconnect conductive pad 13b. A high-temperature reflow process melts the first conductive structure 35a and the first solder body 35b, producing first interconnect solder balls 36a and second interconnect solder balls 36b under the action of surface tension. This ensures that the soldered heights formed by the compensation metal pillars 32 and the second interconnect solder balls 36b are the same as the soldered heights of the first interconnect solder balls 36a.

[0090] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this embodiment are:
[0091] In this embodiment, it should be noted that Figure 18 As shown in Figures 18a and 18b, a compensation metal pillar 42 having a certain height is prepared on the second interconnect conductive pad 13b with a smaller diameter in the interconnect carrier, so that a good conductive interconnection structure is formed between the second interconnect solder ball 44b formed by the second solder block 43b corresponding to the compensation metal pillar 42 after high-temperature reflow and the second stacked metal layer 22b, the second conductive pillar 24b, the compensation metal pillar 42, and the second interconnect conductive pad 13b; and a good conductive interconnection structure is formed between the first interconnect solder ball 44a formed after high-temperature reflow on the first interconnect conductive pad 13a with a larger diameter, and the first stacked metal layer 22a, the first conductive pillar 24a, and the first interconnect conductive pad 13a. As a result, the welding height formed by the first conductive pillar 24a and the first interconnect conductive pad 13a after welding is the same as the welding height formed by the second conductive pillar 24b and the second interconnect conductive pad 13b after welding, thereby solving the problem of poor interconnection between the reflow solder ball with a smaller diameter and the conductive pad when I / O pins of different sizes on the same chip are interconnected with the conductive pad on the interconnect carrier.
[0092] In a second aspect, this embodiment provides a method for preparing a chip interconnect component, and the specific process steps are as follows:
