As the core of electronic devices, semiconductor chips have been increasing in integration, packaging density and working clock frequency while their size is shrinking.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the technical solution of this application are:
[0035] The semiconductor packaging structure and the method for forming the same in the aforementioned embodiments of the present application, in one embodiment, the method for forming the packaging structure includes: providing a substrate; providing a semiconductor chip, the semiconductor chip including a relative active surface and a back surface, mounting the semiconductor chip with the active surface facing down on the upper surface of the substrate, the semiconductor chip being electrically connected to the substrate; forming a coating layer covering the side surface of the semiconductor chip, the upper surface of the coating layer being flush with the back surface of the semiconductor chip; forming a metal film on the back surface of the semiconductor chip and the upper surface of the coating layer; forming a thermal interface material on the upper surface of the metal film; mounting a heat dissipation cover on the upper surfaces of the substrate and the thermal interface material. In the present application, a coating layer is formed to cover the side of the semiconductor chip, and the upper surface of the coating layer is flush with the back side of the semiconductor chip. In addition to protecting the semiconductor chip, the coating layer also widens the support space on the back side of the semiconductor chip, so that the coverage area of the subsequently formed metal film and thermal interface material is larger than the area of the back side of the semiconductor chip, thereby improving the heat dissipation coverage rate of the thermal interface material (the heat dissipation coverage rate is the ratio of the effective heat dissipation area of the thermal interface material and the back side of the semiconductor chip to the area of the back side of the semiconductor chip. Even if there are stratification defects at the edge of the thermal interface material, the heat dissipation coverage rate of the thermal interface material is still relatively high), thereby improving the heat dissipation effect and efficiency. In addition, a metal film is formed on the back side of the semiconductor chip and the upper surface of the coating layer. On the one hand, the metal film can combine the coating layer and the semiconductor chip of different materials into a whole. The thermal interface material is subsequently formed on the surface of the metal film, which can prevent the edge of the thermal interface material from having delamination defects (when the thermal interface material is directly formed on the upper surface of the coating layer and the back side of the semiconductor chip, since the coating layer and the semiconductor chip are not a whole, stress or deformation will be generated between the coating layer and the semiconductor chip, causing delamination defects in the edge of the thermal interface material); on the other hand, the metal film has good adhesion to the subsequently formed thermal interface material, and the metal film itself has high thermal conductivity, which can efficiently transfer the heat from the back side of the semiconductor chip to the thermal interface material, and efficiently conduct the heat to the subsequently mounted heat dissipation cover through the thermal interface material for release.
[0036] Furthermore, in one embodiment, before forming the metal film, a first roughening treatment 11 is performed on the back side of the semiconductor chip and the upper surface of the coating layer to increase the roughness of the back side of the semiconductor chip and the upper surface of the coating layer. When a metal film is subsequently formed on the back side of the semiconductor chip and the upper surface of the coating layer after the first roughening treatment, the contact area between the metal film and the back side of the semiconductor chip and the upper surface of the coating layer can be increased, thereby improving the bonding force between the metal film and the back side of the semiconductor chip and the upper surface of the coating layer, thereby preventing the edge of the metal film from having delamination defects relative to the upper surface of the coating layer, and further preventing the thermal interface material subsequently formed on the upper surface of the metal film and the upper surface of the coating layer from having delamination defects relative to the back side of the semiconductor chip, thereby better improving the heat dissipation effect and efficiency.
[0037] Furthermore, in one embodiment, before forming the thermal interface material, the upper surface of the metal film is subjected to a second roughening treatment to increase the roughness of the upper surface of the metal film. When the thermal interface material is subsequently formed on the upper surface of the metal film after the second roughening treatment, the contact area between the thermal interface material and the upper surface of the metal film is increased, thereby improving the bonding force between the thermal interface material and the upper surface of the metal film, thereby preventing the edge of the thermal interface material from generating delamination defects relative to the upper surface of the metal film, improving the heat dissipation coverage of the thermal interface material, and better improving the heat dissipation effect and efficiency.

[0054] In one embodiment, reference Figure 5 , further comprising: forming a metal film 205 (reference Figure 6), the back surface of the semiconductor chip 201 and the upper surface of the cladding layer 204 are subjected to a first roughening treatment 11 to increase the roughness of the back surface of the semiconductor chip 201 and the upper surface of the cladding layer 204, and a metal film 205 is subsequently formed on the back surface of the semiconductor chip 201 and the upper surface of the cladding layer 204 after the first roughening treatment 11 (refer to Figure 6 ), the contact area between the metal film and the back side of the semiconductor chip 201 and the upper surface of the coating layer 204 can be increased, thereby improving the bonding force between the metal film 205 and the back side of the semiconductor chip 201 and the upper surface of the coating layer 204, thereby preventing the edge of the metal film 205 from generating delamination defects relative to the upper surface of the coating layer 204, and further preventing the thermal interface material subsequently formed on the upper surface of the metal film 206 from generating delamination defects with the upper surface of the coating layer 204, so as to better improve the heat dissipation effect and efficiency.
[0055] In one embodiment, the first roughening treatment 11 includes plasma bombardment, and the plasma is an inert gas element plasma, such as Ar plasma, He plasma or Xe plasma.
[0056] In one embodiment, after the first roughening treatment 11 , the roughness of the upper surface of the cladding layer 204 and the back surface of the semiconductor chip 201 are the same or equivalent.
[0057] In another embodiment, after the first roughening treatment 11, the roughness of the upper surface of the coating layer 204 is greater than the roughness of the back surface of the semiconductor chip 201. When a metal film 205 is subsequently formed on the upper surface of the coating layer 204 and the back surface of the semiconductor chip 201 after the first roughening treatment 11, the metal film 205 has a stronger bonding force with the upper surface of the coating layer 204, which is more conducive to preventing the edge of the metal film 205 from generating a delamination defect with the coating layer 204, thereby preventing the thermal interface material 206 (refer to Figure 8 ) produces delamination defects at the edges.

While the coating layer 204 of different materials and the semiconductor chip 201 are better combined into a whole, the mechanical stability and thermal conductivity of the metal film 205 are improved.
[0061] In one embodiment, the back surface of the semiconductor chip 201 and the upper surface of the cladding layer 204 are subjected to a first roughening treatment 11 (see Figure 5 ), after increasing the roughness of the back surface of the semiconductor chip 201 and the upper surface of the cladding layer 204, the metal film 205 is formed on the back surface of the semiconductor chip 201 and the upper surface of the cladding layer 204 (refer to Figure 6 ).

When the thermal interface material 206 is subsequently formed on the upper surface of the metal film 205 after the second roughening treatment 12, the contact area between the thermal interface material 206 and the upper surface of the metal film 205 is increased, thereby improving the bonding force between the thermal interface material 206 and the upper surface of the metal film 205, thereby preventing the edge of the thermal interface material 206 from generating delamination defects relative to the upper surface of the metal film 205, improving the heat dissipation coverage of the thermal interface material 206, and better improving the heat dissipation effect and efficiency.
[0063] In one embodiment, the second roughening process 12 includes plasma bombardment, and the plasma is an inert gas element plasma, such as Ar plasma, He plasma or Xe plasma.

[0065] In another embodiment, the metal film 205 includes a middle area and an edge area surrounding the middle area. After the second roughening treatment 12, the roughness of the upper surface of the edge area of the metal film 205 is greater than the roughness of the upper surface of the middle area of the metal film 205. When the thermal interface material 206 is subsequently formed on the upper surface of the metal film 205 after the second roughening treatment 12, the bonding force between the thermal interface material 206 and the upper surface of the edge area of the metal film 205 is stronger, which is more conducive to preventing the edge of the thermal interface material 206 from generating delamination defects.
[0066] refer to Figure 8 , a thermal interface material 206 is formed on the upper surface of the metal film 205 .
[0067] The thermal interface material (TIM) 206 can effectively reduce the contact thermal resistance between different structures, and realize the rapid transfer of heat generated by the semiconductor chip to the subsequently mounted heat dissipation cover.

[0069] In one embodiment, the upper surface of the metal film 205 is subjected to a second roughening treatment 12 (see Figure 7 ), after increasing the roughness of the upper surface of the metal film 205, a thermal interface material 206 is formed on the upper surface of the metal film 205 (refer to Figure 8 ).
[0070] refer to Fig. 9 A heat dissipation cover 208 is mounted on the upper surface of the substrate 101 and the thermal interface material 206 .
[0071] The heat dissipation cover 208 is used to release or dissipate the heat generated by the semiconductor chip 201 to control the semiconductor chip 201 to a suitable temperature.
