The area of the first die 11 is smaller than that of the pre-wiring substrate 12 to expose the back electrical connection points 122.

Second, a pre-formed pre-wiring substrate 12 is provided, and the pre-wiring substrate 12 can be tested before packaging to avoid the use of known bad pre-wiring substrates 12. Third, the pre-wiring substrate 12 is a prefabricated substrate, and its manufacturing process is independent of the packaging process, which can save the packaging time of the entire packaging process.

Through the pre-wiring substrate 12, not only the passive device 18 is incorporated into the semiconductor package structure 1, enriching the function of the semiconductor package structure 1, but also because the pre-wiring substrate 12 includes complex multi-circuits, complex wiring between the passive device 18 and the first die 11 can be realized.

There may be a plurality of front electrical connection points 121 exposed on the front surface 12a of the pre-wiring substrate, and there may also be a plurality of back electrical connection points 122 exposed on the back surface 12b of the pre-wiring substrate.
[0119] The pre-wiring substrates 12 of each group of components 2 to be encapsulated can be connected together or separated from each other.
[0120] Continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first die 11 and the pre-wiring substrate 12 are arranged back to back and can be fixed by an adhesive layer. The area of the first die 11 is smaller than that of the pre-wiring substrate 12 to expose the back electrical connection points 122.
[0121] The carrier plate 3 is a hard plate, which may include a plastic plate, a glass plate, a ceramic plate or a metal plate.
[0122] When multiple groups of components 2 to be plastic-encapsulated are arranged on the surface of the carrier 3, the following may be included:
[0123] a) The first protective layer 110 faces the carrier 3, and the plurality of first bare chips 11 are arranged on the carrier 3. Specifically, the surface of the carrier 3 is provided with a plurality of mounting areas, each of which is provided with an alignment mark, and the first opening 110a can be used as an alignment pattern feature to arrange the first bare chips 11 on the carrier 3 according to a predetermined arrangement position. The surface of the carrier 3 can be coated with a whole adhesive layer to fix the plurality of first bare chips 11;
[0124] The adhesive layer may be made of an easily peelable material so as to peel the plurality of first bare chips 11 from the carrier 3, for example, a thermal separation material that can lose its stickiness by heating or a UV separation material that can lose its stickiness by ultraviolet irradiation may be used;
[0125] b) Next, each pre-wiring substrate 12 is applied to the back side 11b of the corresponding first die 11. The back side 11b of the first die 11 may have an alignment mark to achieve alignment between the pre-wiring substrate 12 and the first die 11 during the application process.
[0126] A group of plastic-encapsulated parts 2 are located in an area on the surface of the carrier 3, which is convenient for subsequent cutting. Multiple groups of plastic-encapsulated parts 2 are fixed on the surface of the carrier 3 to simultaneously manufacture multiple semiconductor packaging structures 1, which is conducive to mass production and cost reduction.
[0127] Next, refer to Figure 2 Step S2 in Figures 5 to 7 As shown, a plastic encapsulation layer 13 is formed, which covers multiple groups of components 2 to be encapsulated. The back side 13b of the plastic encapsulation layer 13 exposes the front side 12a of each pre-wiring substrate 12, and the front side 13a of the plastic encapsulation layer 13 exposes the active surface 11a of each first bare chip 11.
[0128] In this embodiment, step S2 specifically includes steps S21 to S22.
[0129] Step S21: Refer to Figure 5 As shown, a plastic sealing layer 13 is formed on the surface of the carrier board 3 to embed each group of plastic sealing parts 2; Figure 6 As shown, the plastic encapsulation layer 13 is thinned until the front side 12a of each pre-wiring substrate 12 is exposed.
[0130] The material of the plastic encapsulation layer 13 can be epoxy resin, polyimide resin, benzocyclobutene resin, polybenzoxazole resin, polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyolefin, polyurethane, polyolefin, polyethersulfone, polyamide, polyurethane, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or polyvinyl alcohol. The material of the plastic encapsulation layer 13 can also be various polymers or composite materials of resin and polymer. Correspondingly, the encapsulation can be performed by filling liquid plastic encapsulation material between the stacking structure of each first bare chip 11 and the pre-wiring substrate 12, and then curing it at high temperature through the plastic encapsulation mold. In some embodiments, the plastic encapsulation layer 13 can also be formed by plastic material molding methods such as hot pressing molding and transfer molding.
[0131] The plastic packaging layer 13 may include a front surface 13 a and a back surface 13 b opposite to each other.
[0132] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the plastic encapsulation layer 13 is thinned from the back side 13 b by mechanical grinding, such as grinding with a grinding wheel, to expose the back side 12 b of the pre-wiring substrate 12 .
[0133] During the process of forming the plastic encapsulation layer 13 and grinding the plastic encapsulation layer 13 , the first protection layer 110 can buffer the stress of the first pad 111 .
[0134] Step S22: Refer to Figure 7 As shown, the carrier board 3 is removed to expose the first protection layer 110 , the first pad 111 and the front side 13 a of the plastic packaging layer 13 .
[0135] The carrier board 3 may be removed by conventional removal methods such as laser stripping and UV irradiation.
[0136] After removing the carrier 3, a first support plate 4 may be further provided on the front surface 12a of the pre-wiring substrate 12 and the back surface 13b of the plastic encapsulation layer 13. The first support plate 4 is a hard plate member, and may include a glass plate, a ceramic plate, a metal plate, etc. The first support plate 4 may play a supporting role in the subsequent steps of forming the first conductive trace 15, and / or forming the first conductive bump 16, and / or forming the first dielectric layer 17.
[0137] In other embodiments, steps S1', S21' to S22' may also be included.
[0138] Step S1 ′ is substantially the same as step S1 , with the only difference being that in each group of components 2 to be encapsulated, the front surface 12 a of each pre-wiring substrate 12 faces the carrier 3 .
[0139] Step S21′ is substantially the same as step S21, except that the plastic encapsulation layer 13 is thinned until the active surface 11a of each first die 11 is exposed. When the active surface 11a has a first protective layer 110, the first protective layer 110 is exposed. The first protective layer 110 protects the first pad 111 when the plastic encapsulation layer 13 is thinned.
[0140] Step S22 ′ is substantially the same as step S22 , except that after the carrier 3 is removed, the front surface 12 a of each pre-wiring substrate 12 and the back surface 13 b of the plastic packaging layer 13 are exposed.
[0141] Next, refer to Figure 2 Step S3 in Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a plurality of conductive plugs 14 are formed in the plastic encapsulation layer 13. The conductive plugs 14 are located on the side of the first bare chip 11. The conductive plugs 14 include a first end 14a and a second end 14b opposite to each other. The first end 14a is connected to the back electrical connection point 122, and the second end 14b is exposed to the front side 13a of the plastic encapsulation layer 13. A first conductive trace 15 is formed on the first pad 111, the second end 14b of the conductive plug 14, and the front side 13a of the plastic encapsulation layer 13 to electrically connect the first bare chip 11 in the group with the pre-wiring circuit 120.
[0142] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of through holes 141 may be formed in the plastic encapsulation layer 13 , and the bottoms of the through holes 141 expose the back electrical connection points 122 .
[0143] The through hole 141 may be formed by dry etching, wet etching or laser drilling.
[0144] In other embodiments, in the first die 11 , if the first pad 111 is covered with the first protection layer 110 , before the first conductive trace 15 is fabricated, a first opening 110 a is formed in the first protection layer 110 to expose the first pad 111 .
[0145] If the material of the first protective layer 110 is a laser-reactive material, such as epoxy resin, etc., the first opening 110a can be formed by modifying it by laser irradiation. If the material of the first protective layer 110 is a photosensitive material, such as polyimide, etc., the first opening 110a can be formed by first exposing and then developing. If the material of the first protective layer 110 is a material that can be dry-etched or wet-etched, such as silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, etc., the first opening 110a can be formed by dry-etching or wet-etching.
[0146] In this embodiment, forming the first conductive trace 15 includes the following steps S311 - S314 .
[0147] Step S311 : forming a photoresist layer on the first protection layer 110 of each first bare chip 11 , the first pad 111 exposed by the first protection layer 110 , the front surface 13 a of the plastic layer 13 , and in each through hole 141 .
[0148] In this step S311, in an optional solution, the photoresist layer formed may be a photosensitive film. The photosensitive film may be torn off from the tape and applied to the first protective layer 110 of each first bare chip 11, each first pad 111, the front surface 13a of the plastic layer 13, and the opening of each through hole 141. In other optional solutions, the photoresist layer may also be formed by first applying a liquid photoresist and then heating and curing it.
[0149] Step S312: exposing and developing the photoresist layer, and retaining the photoresist layer in a first predetermined area, the first predetermined area being complementary to the area where the metal pattern block 15a of the first conductive trace 15 to be formed is located.
[0150] Step S313 : filling a metal layer in a complementary region of the first predetermined region to form a conductive plug 14 and a metal pattern block 15 a of the first conductive trace 15 .
[0151] In other embodiments, a metal layer may be first filled into the through hole 141 to form the conductive plug 14 , and then the first conductive trace 15 may be manufactured.
[0152] A portion of the metal pattern blocks 15a selectively electrically connects the second end 14b of the conductive plug 14 with the first pad 111 to achieve electrical connection between the pre-wiring circuit 120 and the first die 11. In addition, a portion of the metal pattern blocks 15a selectively electrically connects a plurality of first pads 111 to achieve circuit layout or electrical conduction of the first pads 111.
[0153] This step S313 can be completed by using an electroplating process. The electroplating process of copper or aluminum is relatively mature.
[0154] Specifically, before forming the photoresist layer in step S311, a seed layer (Seed Layer) can be formed by physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition on the first protective layer 110 of each first bare chip 11, the first pad 111 exposed by the first protective layer 110, the front surface 13a of the plastic layer 13, and each through hole 141. The seed layer can be used as a power supply layer for electroplating copper or aluminum.
[0155] Electroplating may include electrolytic plating or electrodeless plating. Electrolytic plating is to use the workpiece to be plated as a cathode to electrolyze the electrolyte to form a layer of metal on the workpiece to be plated. Electroless plating is a method of reducing and precipitating metal ions in the solution to form a metal layer on the workpiece to be plated. In some embodiments, the conductive plug 14 and the metal pattern block 15a may also be formed by sputtering first and then etching.
[0156] Step S314: removing the remaining photoresist layer in the first predetermined area by ashing.
[0157] After ashing, the seed layer in the first predetermined area is removed by dry etching or wet etching.
[0158] The metal pattern block 15 a of the first conductive trace 15 may be polished, for example, by chemical mechanical polishing to achieve a smooth upper surface.
[0159] It should be noted that the metal pattern blocks 15a of the first conductive traces 15 in step S3 are arranged according to design requirements, and the distribution of the first conductive traces 15 on different groups of parts 2 to be encapsulated may be the same or different.
[0160] Afterwards, refer to Figure 2 Step S4 in Fig. 9 As shown, a first conductive bump 16 is formed on the first conductive trace 15 , and a first dielectric layer 17 is formed to embed the first conductive trace 15 and the first conductive bump 16 . The first conductive bump 16 is exposed outside the first dielectric layer 17 .
[0161] Forming the first conductive bump 16 and the first dielectric layer 17 may include steps S411 - S415 .
[0162] Step S411 : forming a photoresist layer on the metal pattern block 15 a , the first protection layer 110 exposed by the metal pattern block 15 a , and the front surface 13 a of the plastic layer 13 .
[0163] In this step S411, in an optional solution, the photoresist layer formed can be a photosensitive film. The photosensitive film can be torn off from the tape and applied to the metal pattern block 15a, the first protective layer 110 exposed by the metal pattern block 15a, and the front side 13a of the plastic layer 13. In other optional solutions, the photoresist layer can also be formed by first applying a liquid photoresist and then heating and curing.
[0164] Step S412: exposing and developing the photoresist layer to retain the photoresist in the second predetermined area. The second predetermined area is complementary to the area where the first conductive bump 16 is to be formed.
[0165] In this step S412, the photoresist layer is patterned. In other optional solutions, other easily removable sacrificial materials can also be used to replace the photoresist layer.
[0166] Step S413 : filling a metal layer in a complementary region of the second predetermined region to form a first conductive bump 16 .
[0167] This step S413 can be completed by electroplating. The process of electroplating copper or aluminum is relatively mature. Before electroplating copper or aluminum, a seed layer (Seed Layer) can be firstly physically vapor deposited or chemically vapor deposited as a power supply layer.
[0168] Step S414: removing the remaining photoresist layer in the second predetermined area by ashing.
[0169] The first conductive bump 16 can be smoothed on its upper surface by a polishing process, such as chemical mechanical polishing.
[0170] Step S415: Refer to Fig. 9 As shown, a first dielectric layer 17 is formed on the first conductive bump 16, the metal pattern block 15a, the first protection layer 110 exposed by the metal pattern block 15a, and the front surface 13a of the plastic layer 13; the first dielectric layer 17 is thinned until the first conductive bump 16 is exposed.
[0171] The first dielectric layer 17 is an insulating material, which may be an organic high molecular polymer insulating material, or an inorganic insulating material or a composite material. The organic high molecular polymer insulating material may be, for example, polyimide, epoxy resin, ABF (Ajinomoto buildup film), PBO (Polybenzoxazole), an organic polymer film or other organic materials with similar insulating properties. The composite material may be an inorganic-organic composite material, which may be an inorganic-organic polymer composite material, such as a SiO2 / resin polymer composite material.
[0172] The organic high molecular polymer insulating material can be pressed onto the first conductive trace 15, the first conductive bump 16, the first protective layer 110 not covering the first conductive trace 15, and the front side 13a of the plastic encapsulation layer 13 by a) a lamination process, or b) first coated on the first conductive trace 15, the first conductive bump 16, the first protective layer 110 not covering the first conductive trace 15, and the front side 13a of the plastic encapsulation layer 13 and then cured, or c) cured on the first conductive trace 15, the first conductive bump 16, the first protective layer 110 not covering the first conductive trace 15, and the front side 13a of the plastic encapsulation layer 13 by an injection molding process.
[0173] When the first dielectric layer 17 is made of inorganic insulating materials such as silicon dioxide or silicon nitride, it can be formed on the first conductive traces 15 , the first conductive bumps 16 , the first protection layer 110 not covering the first conductive traces 15 , and the front surface 13 a of the plastic layer 13 by a deposition process.
[0174] Compared with inorganic insulating materials, organic high molecular polymer insulating materials and composite materials have smaller tensile stress, which can prevent the plastic package from warping when the first dielectric layer 17 is formed over a large area.
[0175] The first dielectric layer 17 may include one or more layers.
[0176] When the first dielectric layer 17 covers the first conductive bump 16 , the first dielectric layer 17 is polished until the first conductive bump 16 is exposed.
[0177] After the first conductive bump 16 is exposed, in the optional solution a), refer to Fig. 9 As shown, the first conductive bump 16 serves as an external connection terminal of the semiconductor package structure 1 .
[0178] b) In an optional solution, after the first conductive bump 16 is exposed, an anti-oxidation layer is further formed on the first conductive bump 16 .
[0179] The anti-oxidation layer may include: b1) a tin layer, or b2) a nickel layer and a gold layer stacked from bottom to top, or b3) a nickel layer, a palladium layer and a gold layer stacked from bottom to top. The anti-oxidation layer may be formed by an electroplating process. The material of the first conductive bump 16 may be copper, and the anti-oxidation layer may prevent copper oxidation, thereby preventing the electrical connection performance from being deteriorated due to copper oxidation.
[0180] After the first conductive bump 16 is exposed, refer to Fig.10 As shown, the first support plate 4 is removed.
[0181] The first support plate 4 can be removed by conventional removal methods such as laser stripping and UV irradiation.
[0182] After removing the first support plate 4 , a second support plate 5 may be disposed on the first conductive bump 16 and the first dielectric layer 17 .
[0183] The second support plate 5 is a hard plate, which may include a glass plate, a ceramic plate, a metal plate, etc. The second support plate 5 may play a supporting role in the subsequent process of setting the passive device 18 .
[0184] Next, refer to Figure 2 Step S5 in Fig.10 As shown, each passive device 18 is electrically connected to the corresponding front electrical connection point 121 of the pre-wiring substrate 12 .
[0185] The passive device 18 may include resistors, inductors, and capacitors, and their common feature is that they can work when there is a signal without adding power to the circuit. The passive device 18 includes an electrical connection point, which is connected to the front electrical connection point 121 of the pre-wiring substrate 12 to achieve the electrical signal input / output of the passive device 18. The electrical connection point of the passive device 18 and the front electrical connection point 121 of the pre-wiring substrate 12 can be connected together by soldering.
[0186] In some embodiments, the plastic encapsulation layer 13 is thinned until the front surface 12 a of the pre-wiring substrate 12 is exposed. This may also be performed after step S4 is completed and before step S5 is started.
[0187] After the passive device 18 is set, refer to Fig.11 As shown, the second support plate 5 is removed.
[0188] The second support plate 5 can be removed by conventional removal methods such as laser stripping and UV irradiation.
[0189] Afterwards, refer to Figure 2 Step S6 in Fig.11 and Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of semiconductor package structures 1 are formed by cutting, and each semiconductor package structure 1 includes a group of parts 2 to be encapsulated.
[0190] For the embodiment in which the pre-wiring substrates 12 of each group of the components 2 to be encapsulated are connected together, the pre-wiring substrates 12 are cut apart during the cutting process in step S6 .
[0191] The advantages of using a pre-wiring substrate 12 in the semiconductor packaging structure 1 formed through the above steps are: first, the fine wiring in the rewiring layer is transferred to the pre-wiring substrate 12, which reduces the probability of short circuit and increases the product yield. At the same time, the number of layers of the first conductive trace 15 can be reduced, and the complexity of the process can be reduced. Second, a pre-formed pre-wiring substrate 12 is provided, and the pre-wiring substrate 12 can be tested before packaging to avoid using a known bad pre-wiring substrate 12. Third, the pre-wiring substrate 12 is a prefabricated substrate, and its manufacturing process is independent of the packaging process, which can save the packaging time of the entire packaging process.
[0192] In addition, the wiring layer to be formed on the active surface 11a of the die is transferred to the pre-wiring substrate 12. The pre-wiring substrate 12 includes complex multi-circuits, which are embedded in the semiconductor package structure 1 by being electrically connected to the pads 111 on the active surface 11a of the die, thereby improving the performance of the entire semiconductor package structure 1. Through the pre-wiring substrate 12, the passive device 18 is also incorporated into the semiconductor package structure 1, enriching the function of the semiconductor package structure 1.

[0207] Accordingly, the manufacturing method is different from the aforementioned embodiment in that: in step S3, before forming the first conductive trace 15, a third dielectric layer 22 is formed on the exposed active surface 11a of the first bare chip 11, the second end 14b of the conductive plug 14, and the front surface 13a of the plastic layer 13; a plurality of third openings 22a are formed in the third dielectric layer 22, and the third openings 22a expose the first pad 111 and the second end 14b of the conductive plug 14; and then the first conductive trace 15 is formed on the first pad 111, the second end 14b of the conductive plug 14, and the third dielectric layer 22.

If the material of the third dielectric layer 22 is a photosensitive material, such as polyimide, etc., the third opening 22a can be formed by first exposing and then developing. If the material of the third dielectric layer 22 is a dry-etchable or wet-etchable material, such as silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, etc., the third opening 22a can be formed by dry-etching or wet-etching.
[0210] Fig.14 FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a semiconductor package structure according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Fig.14 As shown, the semiconductor packaging structure 8 in this embodiment is substantially the same as the semiconductor packaging structures 1 and 6 in the aforementioned embodiments, with the only difference being that: it also includes: a second die 23, the second die 23 includes a plurality of second solder pads 231, and the second solder pads 231 are located on the active surface 23a of the second die 23; the active surface 23a of the second die 23 is covered with a second protective layer 230, and the second protective layer 230 exposes the second solder pads 231; the back side 23b of the second die 23 and the back side 12b of the pre-wiring substrate 12 are facing each other; the plastic encapsulation layer 13 also covers the second die 23; the conductive plug 14 is also located on the side of the second die 23; the first conductive trace 15 is also located on the second solder pad 231, and is used to electrically connect the first die 11, the second die 23 and the pre-wiring circuit 120.
