Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to packaging substrates, packaging, and methods for forming semiconductor structures. Background Technology
[0002] The semiconductor industry has experienced rapid growth due to the increasing integration of various electronic components, such as transistors, diodes, resistors, and capacitors. In most cases, this increase in integration stems from the continuous reduction in the minimum feature size, allowing more and smaller components to be integrated into a given area. These smaller electronic components also require smaller packages, occupying less area than previous packages. Some smaller types of packages used for semiconductor components include Quad Flat Packages (QFP), Pin Grid Array (PGA) packages, Ball Grid Array (BGA) packages, Flip Chip (FC), 3D Integrated Circuit (3DIC), Chip Scale Package (WLP), and PoP (PoP) assemblies. The formation of redistribution circuit structures also plays a crucial role in the packaging process. Summary of the Invention

For example, in the following description, forming a first feature on or over a second feature may include embodiments in which the first and second features are formed in direct contact, and may also include embodiments in which additional features may be formed between the first and second features so that the first and second features are not in direct contact. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in various instances of this disclosure. Such repetition is for the sake of brevity and clarity and does not in itself imply a relationship between the various embodiments and / or configurations discussed.
[0015] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "lower," "above," and "upper" may be used herein to describe the relationship between one component or feature shown in the figures and another component or feature.

[0017] Figures 1A to 1O The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of an intermediate step in forming a package using a packaging substrate with embedded semiconductor components, according to some embodiments.
[0018] First refer to Figure 1A The diagram illustrates a substrate (or substrate core) 112 according to some embodiments. The substrate 112 includes an insulating layer 100 and conductive layers 110 located on both sides of the insulating layer 100. In some embodiments, the substrate 112 is a double-sided copper clad laminate (CCL). The insulating layer 100 may be a pre-impregnated composite fiber (prepreg), Ajinomoto build-up film (ABF), paper, glass fiber, nonwoven glass fabric, other insulating materials, or combinations thereof. The conductive layers 110 may be a laminate or formed on opposite sides 100-FS and 100-BS of the insulating layer 100, consisting of one or more layers of copper, nickel, aluminum, other conductive materials, or combinations thereof.
[0019] Reference Figure 1B A through-hole 114 is formed in the substrate 112. In some embodiments, the through-hole 114 is formed by laser drilling. Other processes, such as mechanical drilling, etching, etc., may also be used. The top view shape of the through-hole 114 may be circular (e.g., ...). Figure 2A and 2B (as shown), rectangle (not shown), or any other shape.
[0020] Reference Figure 1C Conductive material is formed on the conductive layer 110 and sidewalls of the through-hole 114 to form a conductive layer 115. The conductive material of the conductive layer 115 can be formed, for example, by electroplating. Before forming the conductive material on the conductive layer 110 and sidewalls of the through-hole 114, a surface treatment process can be performed. The surface treatment process can include cleaning the exposed surfaces of the substrate 112 (e.g., the surface of the conductive layer 110 and the surface of the insulating layer 100 in the through-hole 114) with one or more cleaning solutions (e.g., sulfuric acid, chromic acid, neutralizing alkaline solution, water rinsing, etc.) to remove or reduce contaminants, oil, and / or natural oxide films. A desmear process can be performed to clean the area near the through-hole 114, which may have been contaminated by the material that forms the insulating layer 100 of the through-hole 114. Desmearing can be achieved mechanically (e.g., by sandblasting with fine abrasives in a wet slurry), chemically (e.g., by rinsing with a combination of organic solvents, permanganates, etc.), or by a combination of mechanical and chemical desmearing. After cleaning, a chemical conditioner can be used to treat the surface, which facilitates the adsorption of activators used in subsequent electroless plating. In some embodiments, the conductive layer 110 can be micro-etched after the conditioning step to roughen the conductive surface of the conductive layer 110, thereby improving bonding between the metal foil and the conductive material deposited later.
[0021] Reference Figure 1D The conductive layer is patterned to form conductive traces 116. Conductive traces 116 may include conductive traces 116F, 116B, and 116P connected to each other. Conductive trace 116F is formed on side 100-FS of the insulating layer 100. Conductive trace 116B is formed on side 100-BS of the insulating layer 100. Conductive trace 116P is formed on the sidewall of the insulating layer 100 at the through-hole 114 and connects a portion of conductive traces 116F and 116B.

A cavity aperture 118 is formed in region R1 of the substrate 112, and a through-hole 114 is formed in region R2 of the substrate 112. Region R1 is the region used to form a semiconductor component and can be referred to as the semiconductor component region. Region R2 is the region outside the semiconductor component region. According to some embodiments, the cavity aperture 118 can be formed by removing portions of the conductive layer 115 and the insulating layer 100 on opposite sides 100-FS and 100-BS. In some embodiments, the cavity aperture 118 is formed by laser drilling. Other processes, such as mechanical drilling and etching, can also be used for the cavity aperture 118. The top view shape of the cavity aperture 118 can be rectangular (e.g., ...). Figure 2A and 2B (as shown), circular (not shown), or any other shape.

Seed layer 128B is formed on dielectric layer 122B, on the sidewalls of vias 124B and 126B passing through dielectric layer 122B, and on the exposed portions of conductive trace 116B at the bottom of via 124B and conductive pad 350 at the bottom of via 126B. Seed layers 128F and 128B can each include one or more layers of conductive material, such as a composite layer of copper or titanium layers and a copper layer above a titanium layer. Layers of other conductive materials or composite layers of several other conductive materials can also be used to form the seed layer.
