Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor module and a method for manufacturing the same. Background Art

[0002] In the past, volatile memories (RAM) such as DRAM (Dynamin Random Access Memory) were known as storage devices. DRAM is required to have a larger capacity to withstand the high performance of computing devices (hereinafter referred to as logic chips or logic wafers) and the increase in data volume. Therefore, the larger capacity is achieved by miniaturizing the memory (memory cell array, memory chip) and increasing the planar size of the cells. On the other hand, this larger capacity has reached its limit due to the vulnerability to noise caused by miniaturization and the increase in chip area.

[0003] Therefore, a technology has recently been developed to stack multiple planar memories to achieve three-dimensionalization (3D) and thus large capacity. In addition, as the amount of data increases, data communication between chips (logic chips and memory chips) is accelerated. For example, a semiconductor module in which a logic chip and a DRAM are stacked is known (for example, see non-patent document 1).

In addition, by manufacturing the storage unit and the logic chip at the wafer level, the semiconductor module 1 is attempted to be manufactured inexpensively. In addition, in the following embodiments, the storage unit and the logic chip are described as the first chip and the second chip. In addition, in the following embodiments, Figure 1 The description is performed by setting the upper side of the paper as one side and the lower side of the paper as the other side.

[0042] [First embodiment]

[0043] Next, refer to Figures 1 to 5 A semiconductor module 1 and a method for manufacturing the same according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0044] The semiconductor module 1 includes a plurality of chips. Figure 1 As shown, the semiconductor module 1 includes a substrate 11 , a second chip 12 , pillars 13 , a second molding portion 14 , a redistribution layer 15 , a first chip 16 , connection terminals 17 , and a first molding portion 18 .

[0045] The substrate 11 is, for example, an organic substrate. The substrate 11 may also be, for example, a redistribution layer. The substrate 11 is, for example, a rectangular plate-shaped body when viewed from above. The substrate 11 has, for example, an electronic circuit 111 inside. The substrate 11 has solder balls 112 on the other side opposite to the one side for electrical connection with other electronic circuits (not shown).

[0046] The second chip 12 is, for example, arranged on one side of the substrate 11. In the present embodiment, the second chip 12 is, for example, a logic chip (SOC). The second chip 12 is, for example, arranged in a state of being electrically connected to one side of the substrate 11. The second chip 12 is, for example, surface mounted on one side of the substrate 11. The second chip 12 is, for example, surface mounted on one side of the substrate 11 by fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP). The second chip 12 has a terminal portion 121 on the other side for electrically connecting to the substrate 11.

[0047] The column 13 is made of a conductive material (e.g., copper). The column 13 extends from one side of the substrate 11. The column 13, for example, extends from one side of the substrate 11 toward the out-of-plane direction. The column 13 has a length, for example, that is the same as or greater than the thickness of the second chip 12. The column 13 is, for example, arranged around the second chip 12. In the present embodiment, the column 13 is arranged along the in-plane direction of one side of the substrate 11 to sandwich the second chip 12. The column 13 is arranged in a state where one end side thereof is electrically connected to one side of the substrate 11.

[0048] The second molded part 14 is formed using, for example, a molded resin. The second molded part 14 is disposed on one side of the substrate 11. The second molded part 14 is formed so that, for example, its thickness is consistent with the height (length) of the pillar 13. The second molded part 14 covers the second chip 12 and the pillar 13 on one side of the substrate 11. The second molded part 14 is formed so that its outer shape is consistent with the shape of the rectangular substrate 11 in a plan view.

The redistribution layer 15 is arranged with the second chip 12 sandwiched between the substrate 11, and is electrically connected to the pillar 13. The redistribution layer 15 is, for example, arranged on one side of the substrate 11. The redistribution layer 15 is arranged across the second chip 12 and the pillar 13 in the in-plane direction of one side of the substrate 11. In the present embodiment, the redistribution layer 15 is, for example, configured in a rectangular shape similar to the substrate 11 when viewed from above. In addition, the redistribution layer 15 is configured so that its outer shape is the same as or substantially the same size as the outer shape of the substrate 11 and the second molded part 14 when viewed from above.

In addition, the first chip 16 has a plurality of stacked memories 161 whose configuration positions are offset in the in-plane direction (direction intersecting the stacking direction) of one side of the redistribution layer 15. The first chip 16 has, for example, a plurality of stacked memories 161 arranged adjacent to each other and offset in the in-plane direction of one side of the redistribution layer 15. In the present embodiment, the first chip 16 has, for example, a plurality of stacked memories 161 stacked in sequence with their positions offset from each other in one direction of the in-plane direction of the redistribution layer 15.

[0051] The connection terminal 17 is made of, for example, a conductive material (e.g., copper, gold, or aluminum). The connection terminal 17 is, for example, a wire and a pad. The connection terminal 17 electrically connects one side of the redistribution layer 15 to the first chip 16. The connection terminal 17 electrically connects the redistribution layer 15 to the first chip 16, for example, by wire bonding. The connection terminal 17 is, for example, provided for each stacked memory 161 of the first chip 16. The connection terminal 17 electrically connects, for example, one stacked memory to the redistribution layer 15.

[0061] In the second chip arrangement step, the second chip 12 is arranged at a position overlapping with the first chip 16 in the facing direction on the other side of the redistribution layer 15 opposite to the facing surface of the first chip 16. In the second chip arrangement step, the second chip 12 is arranged on the other side of the redistribution layer 15, and the terminal portion 121 of the second chip 12 is located on the side (the other side) opposite to the other side of the redistribution layer 15. In the second chip arrangement step, the second chip 12 is arranged at a position overlapping with the first chip 16 in the out-of-plane direction of the redistribution layer 15.

[0062] In the column forming step, the column 13 extending from the other surface of the redistribution layer 15 is formed. In the column forming step, the column 13 is formed at a position around the second chip 12 in the in-plane direction of the redistribution layer 15. In the present embodiment, in the column forming step, a pair of columns 13 sandwiching the second chip 12 are formed around the second chip 12 in the in-plane direction of the redistribution layer 15.

[0063] like Figure 5As shown, in the second molded part forming step, the second molded part 14 covering the second chip 12 and the pillar 13 is formed. In the second molded part forming step, after the second chip configuration step and the pillar forming step, the second molded part 14 is formed using a molded resin. Next, the molded resin of the second molded part 14 is ground to expose the top end portion of the terminal portion 121 of the second chip 12 and the top end portion of the pillar 13.
