Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of packaging, and relates to a stacked packaging structure based on an organic carrier board and RDL and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of electronic products towards high density and miniaturization, the packaging feature size is getting smaller and smaller and gradually approaching the limit. The way of continuously improving the integration by reducing the feature size is no longer applicable. Electronic packaging begins to develop in the vertical direction (Z direction) on the basis of previous 2D packaging, forming 3D packaging technology represented by stacked package and through-silicon-via (TSV). Packaging thus enters the era of three-dimensional high-density packaging. At present, 2.5D and 3D high-density packaging gradually replace traditional 2D packaging (such as QFP, PQFN, BGA and CSP packaging), becoming the development trend of packaging technology.

[0003] As a widely used stacked three-dimensional packaging technology, PoP (Package-on-Package) packaging can flexibly stack chips in the vertical direction without increasing the product size on the basis of compatible existing standard surface mount technology (SMT) process. PoP packaging has strong assembly flexibility and expandability, can completely replace previous separate or parallel distributed packaging forms, realizes the mixed integration of a higher number of different devices, and is widely used in various mobile communication consumer electronic products such as smart phones, tablet computers and notebook computers.

[0004] The traditional PoP packaging structure, such as Figure 1 , usually adopts a BGA structure as the connection between the upper and lower two layers of packaging. This packaging structure makes the packaging cost larger, the packaging size larger, the interconnection density of the circuit lower, and the connection mode of the chip makes the transmission efficiency of current and signal low. The gap of the upper and lower packaging structures is large, and the upper and lower layers are separated by air. As a poor conductor, air will cause the problem of chip heat dissipation. SUMMARY

[0074] The following is combined with Figures 3-20 , further introduces the preparation of stacked packaging structure based on organic carrier and RDL.

[0075] like Figure 3 First, step S1 is performed to provide an organic carrier 100, wherein the organic carrier 100 includes a first surface and an opposite second surface, the organic carrier 100 includes an organic core layer 101 and metal layers 102 located on two opposite surfaces of the organic core layer 101 and electrically connected to each other, and the organic carrier 100 has a through groove.

[0076] Specifically, the organic carrier board 100 can include the steps of drilling → electroplating → film pasting → exposure → development → etching when being prepared, so as to drill through holes on the organic core layer 101 and form the patterned and electrically connected metal layer 102 on the opposite two surfaces of the organic core layer 101, and then the through groove for placing the first chip 201 can be made on the area of the bare organic core layer 101 without the metal layer 102 by using, for example, laser, the size of the through groove is preferably similar to the size of the first chip 201 to be pasted subsequently, only needs to add 5 μm ~ 100 μm, such as 5 μm, 10 μm, 50 μm, 100 μm, etc. on each side of the size of the first chip 201, and the specific setting can be made according to the needs.

[0077] The organic carrier board 100 can be a glass fiber cloth coated with resin and copper clad board, and the resin can be epoxy resin, high-temperature-resistant epoxy resin, polyimide resin (PI), polytetrafluoroethylene resin (PTFE), bismaleimide modified triazine resin (BT), polypropylene resin (PPE), polyether ketone resin (PEK), polyetherimide resin (PEI), polyethylene (PE), polysulfone resin and polyphenyl ether resin (PPO), etc. The metal layer 102 can be copper foil including electrolytic copper and calendered copper, but is not limited thereto.

[0078] Then, steps S2 and S3 are performed to provide a support substrate (not shown) and adhere the support substrate to the first surface of the organic carrier board 100; provide the first chip 201 and place the first chip 201 in the through groove, and the pads of the first chip 201 face the support substrate.

[0079] Specifically, an organic adhesive tape can be pasted on the first surface of the organic carrier board 100 as the support substrate, and then the active surface of the first chip 201 with pads faces the support substrate and is placed in the through groove, but the type of the support substrate is not limited thereto.

[0080] Preferably, the pads of the first chip 201 are at the same height as the metal layer 102 on the first surface of the organic carrier board 100, i.e. on the same plane, so as to facilitate subsequent electrical connection.

[0081] Preferably, the pads corresponding to the plurality of first chips 201 are on the same plane, so as to facilitate subsequent electrical connection. The number and distribution of the first chips 201 are not limited here.

[0082] Then, step S4 is performed to remove the support substrate to form a first RDL composite layer and a second RDL composite layer, the first RDL composite layer is located on the first surface of the organic carrier 100, the first RDL composite layer comprises a first insulating medium layer and a first metal connection layer, and the first metal connection layer is electrically connected with the pads of the first chip 201 and the metal layer of the organic carrier 100; the second RDL composite layer is located on the second surface of the organic carrier 100, the second RDL composite layer comprises a second insulating medium layer and a second metal connection layer, the second insulating medium layer fills the through slot and covers the first chip 201 and the second surface of the organic carrier, and the second metal connection layer is electrically connected with the metal layer of the organic carrier 100.

[0083] For example, the first RDL composite layer comprises the first metal connection layer in stack and electrical connection; the second RDL composite layer comprises the second metal connection layer in stack and electrical connection.

[0084] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first RDL composite layer comprises two layers of the first metal connection layer, i.e. a first sub-metal connection layer 601 and a second sub-metal connection layer 602, and corresponding first and second sub-insulating medium layers 301 and 302, the second RDL composite layer comprises one layer of the second metal connection layer, i.e. a third sub-metal connection layer 603, and corresponding third sub-insulating medium layer 303, but the number of layers of the metal connection layer in the first RDL composite layer and the second RDL composite layer is not limited to this.

[0085] Participate Figures 3-18 Specifically, the preparation of the first RDL composite layer and the second RDL composite layer can comprise the following steps:

[0086] First, step S4-1 is performed to remove the support substrate to expose the pads of the first chip 201.

[0087] Next, step S4-2 is performed to first form a third sub-insulating dielectric layer 303. The third sub-insulating dielectric layer 303 fills the through-trench and covers the first chip 201 and the second surface of the organic carrier 100. The third sub-insulating dielectric layer 303 can fill the gap between the first chip 201 and the organic carrier 100 and then solidify to embed the first chip 201. The first chip 201 can have a thickness of 100 μm and dimensions of 10×10 mm. The third sub-insulating dielectric layer 303 is preferably made of ABF material, which has good fluidity, heat dissipation, and is convenient for subsequent processing. Of course, other organic materials can also be used to fill the remaining portion of the through-trench as needed. The thickness, type, and size of the first chip 201 can be selected as needed.

[0088] Next, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , executing step S4-3, a first sub-insulating dielectric layer 301 can be formed on the first surface of the organic carrier 100 by coating or vacuum lamination, and then the first sub-insulating dielectric layer opening 3011 can be formed on the first sub-insulating dielectric layer 301 by exposure, development or laser processing.

[0089] As an example, the first insulating medium layer may include a non-photosensitive insulating medium layer or a photosensitive insulating medium layer; and the second insulating medium layer may include a non-photosensitive insulating medium layer or a photosensitive insulating medium layer.

[0090] Specifically, if the first sub-insulating dielectric layer 301 is a non-photosensitive dielectric layer, the first sub-insulating dielectric layer openings 3011 may be formed by laser etching. If the first sub-insulating dielectric layer 301 is a photosensitive dielectric layer, the first sub-insulating dielectric layer openings 3011 may be formed by dry or wet etching. The material of the first sub-insulating dielectric layer 301 may include PI, ABF, epoxy resin, etc. The thickness of the first sub-insulating dielectric layer 301 may be 5 μm, the diameter of the first sub-insulating dielectric layer openings 3011 may be 35 μm, and the opening spacing may be 60 μm. The thickness, opening size, and morphology of the first sub-insulating dielectric layer 301 are not excessively limited herein. The corresponding second sub-insulating dielectric layer 302 and third sub-insulating dielectric layer 303 may refer to the first sub-insulating dielectric layer 301 and will not be described in detail below.

[0091] In particular, the first sub-insulating medium layer 301 can be formed by the method of film pasting, exposure, development, UV curing and thermal curing under dry process. Under wet process, spin coating or slot coating process can be used. Under spin coating process, the patterning can be formed by the method of cold plate, spin coating, baking plate, cooling, exposure, post-baking, development and post-curing. Under slot coating process, the patterning can be formed by the process of plasma impurity removal, coating, VCD vacuum baking, pre-baking, exposure, development and post-curing.

[0092] Then, referring to Figure 5 , step S4-4 is performed to form the first Ti / Cu metal deposition layer 401.

[0093] In particular, the first Ti / Cu metal deposition layer 401 can be deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) in this step. The Ti / Cu layer deposited by PVD has good controllability and repeatability of thickness, wide application range, and good adhesion to the substrate. A layer of Ti metal is first deposited because the Ti metal layer has high conductivity and adhesion, and good thickness uniformity, so that the subsequently formed first sub-metal connection layer 601 can be firmly fixed on the first sub-insulating medium layer 301. The thickness of the first Ti / Cu metal deposition layer 401 after deposition can be 300-500 nm, with a thickness deviation of <5%.

[0094] Then, referring to Figure 6 , step S4-5 is performed to form the first resist layer 501 on the first Ti / Cu metal deposition layer 401.

[0095] Then, referring to Figure 7 , step S4-6 is performed to expose and develop the first resist layer 501 to form a patterned first resist layer 501.

[0096] In particular, the first resist layer 501 can be a photosensitive resist layer, which can be formed by film pasting, spin coating or slot coating. The material of the first resist layer 501 can include acrylic acid and polymer adhesive, etc. The first resist layer 501 can be manufactured by dry or wet process. In particular, under dry process, the patterning process includes film pasting, exposure, development, UV curing and thermal curing. Under wet process, spin coating or slot coating process can be used. Under spin coating process, the patterning process can include cold plate, spin coating, baking plate, cooling, exposure, post-baking, development and post-curing. Under slot coating process, the patterning process includes plasma impurity removal, coating, VCD vacuum baking, pre-baking, exposure, development and post-curing.

[0097] Then, referring to Figure 8After step S4-7, a first sub-metal connection layer 601, such as a Cu metal connection layer, can be formed between the patterned first resist layer 501 by electroplating.

[0098] Specifically, since high-speed electroplating has higher electroplating efficiency and mass transfer, a higher quality and more uniform Cu plating layer can be obtained, so that a Cu metal connection layer can be formed between the first resist layer 501 by high-speed electroplating as the first sub-metal connection layer 601. The manufacturing process of the Cu metal layer can include high-pressure water washing, high-pressure acid washing, electroplating, water washing, and drying. The RDL is ultra-fine line, so the ratio of Cu plating thickness to line width is preferably 1:1, the Cu plating layer material should include medium-high purity electroplated copper with elongation not less than 22% and sulfur content not higher than 9.6ppm, the Cu plating layer thickness deviation is <5%, and the thickness can be 5μm.

[0099] Referring back to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , step S4-8 is performed to form the first sub-metal connection layer 601 on the first sub-insulating medium layer 301 by film removal, flash etching, and Ti layer etching.

[0100] Specifically, the first resist layer 501, Cu, and Ti between the first sub-metal connection layer 601 are etched in sequence using the film removal, flash etching, and Ti etching process to complete the manufacturing of the first sub-metal connection layer 601. Wet or dry etching can be used for etching, and the chemical reagent for wet etching can include H2SO4+H2O2 and weak acid+H2O2, HF or non-HF (NaOH+H2O2), NaHCO3, NaOH, a mixture of NaHCO3 / H2O2, a mixture of NaHCO3 / NaOH / H2O2, or an aqueous solution of alkali metal hydroxide. The aqueous solution of alkali metal hydroxide can be NaOH, KOH, etc. Dry etching can be achieved by ion milling, reactive ion etching, and plasma etching, including but not limited to argon, nitrogen, fluorine-based gas, or a combination thereof as the process gas to perform etching.

[0101] As needed, referring to Figures 11-18 , the above steps S4-3 to S4-8 can be repeated to form the second sub-insulating medium layer 302, the second sub-insulating medium layer opening 3021, the second Ti / Cu metal deposition layer 402, the second resist layer 502, the second sub-metal connection layer 602, the third sub-insulating medium layer opening 3031, the third Ti / Cu metal deposition layer 403, and the third sub-metal connection layer 603 in sequence.

[0102] Wherein, the above steps S4-3~S4-8 can be performed multiple times as needed, so that the first RDL composite layer can include N layers of the metal connection layer prepared and electrically connected based on the metal connection layer of the lower layer, N≥2, such as 2 layers, 3 layers, 4 layers, etc., and so that the second RDL composite layer can include M layers of the metal connection layer prepared and electrically connected based on the metal connection layer of the lower layer, M≥2, such as 2 layers, 3 layers, 4 layers, etc., and the specific number of repetitions can be selected as needed, and in the embodiment, only the formation of a first RDL composite layer with 2 layers of metal connection layers and a second RDL composite layer with 1 layer is taken as an example, but not limited thereto.
