Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of packaging element technology, and in particular, to a packaging element capable of reducing bubble generation and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] A conventional printed circuit board (PCB) is manufactured by a plurality of manufacturing processes, such as drill, deposit, lamination, etc. A die can be embedded in a copper foil substrate (CCL) to form a packaging element. Please refer to FIG. 1. Figure 4 A packaging element 7 includes a copper foil substrate 70, a first metal layer 71 and a second metal layer 72 formed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the copper foil substrate 70, respectively, and a through hole 73 and a receiving space 74 in the copper foil substrate 70. A conductive pillar 730 is formed by depositing a metal (e.g., copper) in the through hole 73, and the conductive pillar 730 is used to electrically connect the first metal layer 71 and the second metal layer 72. The receiving space 74 is used to set a die 80, and an insulator 75 is filled in the receiving space 74.
[0003] However, during the process of depositing the conductive pillar 730, the speed of the metal deposited on the openings at both ends of the through hole 73 is faster than the speed of the metal deposited on the inside of the through hole 73. Under the condition of inconsistent deposition speed, the metal often covers air, so that there is at least one bubble in the conductive pillar 730. When the packaging element 7 is subjected to subsequent reliability tests, such as temperature cycling test (TCT), the at least one bubble will generate a gas pressure due to thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in the fracture of the conductive pillar 730 and affecting the electrical connection between the first metal layer 71 and the second metal layer 72.
[0004] In addition, during the process of forming the insulator 75 in the receiving space 74, there is often at least one bubble due to insufficient amount of the insulator 75, which occurs in the receiving space 74 and at the periphery of the die 80. The at least one bubble will become a path of arcing, which may cause the die 80 to be subjected to a high voltage, resulting in the conduction between a first surface 81 and a second surface 82 of the die 80 and short circuiting, or even causing the first metal layer 71 on the upper surface of the copper foil substrate 70 and the second metal layer 72 on the lower surface to be conductive and short circuiting. Therefore, how to reduce the generation of bubbles in the packaging element with the copper foil substrate is a problem to be improved in the manufacturing process of the conventional printed circuit board.

[0061] And after the drilling process is completed, the plurality of holes will be subjected to a plasma etching process to remove the debris left in the holes by drilling, wherein the shape of the plurality of holes can be further determined by controlling the length of the plasma etching time, and in the embodiment, the shape of the plurality of holes is tapered along the top surface of the molding layer towards the composite substrate 10, i.e. the inner diameter of each hole gradually decreases along the top surface of the molding layer towards the composite substrate 10.
[0062] Referring to Figure 2I , the metal foil 412 in Figure 2H is removed by etching to expose the top surface of the second spacing layer L2 (the molding layer). Referring to Figure 2J , the adhesive film 20 attached to the lower conductive layer 13 is removed to expose the lower conductive layer 13 and the bottom of the accommodation space 110 (the second surface 32 of the die 30). Referring to Figure 2K , a top seed layer 51 is formed on the top surface of the second spacing layer L2 (the molding layer) and the inner wall of the plurality of holes by an electro-less plating process, and a bottom seed layer 52 is also formed on the lower conductive layer 13 and the bottom surface of the accommodation space 110 (the second surface 32 of the die 30) by the aforementioned process, wherein because the shape of the plurality of holes is tapered, the top seed layer 51 can also be formed by a sputtering process.
[0063] Referring to Figure 2L , a connection metal is deposited on the top seed layer 51 on the top surface of the second spacing layer L2, so that the top seed layer 51 and a connection metal layer 53 are stacked on the top surface of the second spacing layer L2, and the connection metal is also deposited on the top seed layer 51 in the plurality of holes, so that the at least one first hole 413 is filled with the top seed layer 51 and the connection metal to form at least one chip connection 54, the at least one second hole 414 is filled with the top seed layer 51 and the connection metal to form at least one substrate connection 55, the at least one chip connection 54 is electrically connected to the connection metal layer 53 and the first surface 31 of the die 30 (the at least one first solder joint), the at least one substrate connection 55 is electrically connected to the connection metal layer 53 and the upper conductive layer 12 (the at least one second solder joint), and in the embodiment, the shape of the at least one chip connection 54 and the at least one substrate connection 55 is tapered along the bottom surface of the molding layer towards the composite substrate 10, wherein the redistribution layer includes the top seed layer 51, the connection metal layer 53, the at least one chip connection 54, and the at least one substrate connection 55.

[0065] According to the foregoing Figures 2A-2N , the flowchart is completed to form the first embodiment of the packaging element of the present application capable of reducing bubble generation (see Figure 2N ), and the packaging element of the present application also has a second embodiment, please refer to Figures 3A-3N , which is a schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the flowchart for manufacturing the packaging element of the present application capable of reducing bubble generation, wherein Figures 3A-3G , the flowchart is the same as that in Figures 2A-2G , and will not be described here. The second embodiment of the flowchart for manufacturing the packaging element of the present application capable of reducing bubble generation is different from the first embodiment in that Figure 3H , the manufacturing process steps shown in the figure.
[0066] Referring to Figure 3H , after the plurality of holes (including the at least one first hole 413 and the at least one second hole 414) are formed by the laser drilling manufacturing process, the plasma etching time is controlled to be longer than that of the first embodiment, so that the shapes of the plurality of holes are respectively a cylinder, and the diameters of the two ends of the cylinder are smaller than that of the central position, that is, the barrel shape, that is, each hole is along the direction of the top surface protection layer 61 towards the composite substrate 10, and the inner wall central position of each hole is concave relative to the port position of each hole. The subsequent manufacturing process steps are basically the same as those of the first embodiment of the present application, and will not be described here. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that, please refer to Figure 3K , when the top seed layer 51 is formed on the top surface of the second spacing layer L2 and the inner wall of the plurality of holes, because the shapes of the plurality of holes in the present embodiment are barrel-shaped, the top seed layer 51 cannot be formed by sputtering, please refer to Figure 3LAs described in the first embodiment, the at least one chip connecting member 54 and the at least one substrate connecting member 55 are conductive pillars, and in this embodiment, because of the shape of the plurality of holes, the diameters of the ends of the conductive pillars are smaller than the diameter of the central portion; according to Figures 3A-3N After the flow process is completed, a package element of the present application is formed, which can reduce the generation of bubbles (see Figure 3N ) in the second embodiment.
[0067] Regardless of the first embodiment or the second embodiment of the package element of the present application, when the metal is deposited on the inner wall of the at least one through hole 100, the deposition time is controlled so that the openings at both ends of the at least one through hole 100 are not closed. Compared with the package element 7 of the prior art (see Figure 4 ), the package element of the present application does not form a conductive pillar but forms the at least one through hole 101, and fills the plastic encapsulation layer in the at least one through hole 101, which reduces the bubbles generated due to the inconsistent deposition rate of the metal during the manufacturing process. When the package element of the present application is subjected to reliability testing, the problem of air pressure caused by bubbles in the prior art is overcome, thereby increasing the reliability of the product.
[0068] In addition, during the manufacturing process of the package element of the present application, a step of providing a first insulating sheet 40 is added. The first insulating sheet 40 can be heat-fused to provide a sufficient amount of the first insulating material 400 to fill the accommodation space 110 and cover the die 30, thereby reducing the generation of bubbles at the periphery of the die 30 and reducing the phenomenon of arcing, thereby stabilizing the electrical performance of the die 30. When the first insulating sheet 40 can provide a sufficient amount of the first insulating material 400, the overall thickness of the composite substrate 10 (including the upper conductive layer 12 and the lower conductive layer 13) can be increased. The effect is that the accommodation space 110 can be relatively increased, i.e., the thickness of the die 30 can be relatively increased. When the thickness of the die 30 is increased, the die 30 will not need to be thinned during the manufacturing process, thereby increasing the yield, or the die 30 will have sufficient space for integrated circuit design layout during the manufacturing process.
[0069] Furthermore, during the lamination process, the first insulating material 400 is able to form a thickness on the upper conductive layer 12, i.e. to form the first spacing layer L1 together with the second insulating material 410, in addition to filling the at least one via hole 101 and the accommodating space 110, because the bottom of the support layer 411 has a sufficient thickness (the first thickness is greater than or equal to 5 microns) of the first spacing layer L1, so that the second insulating material 410 originally on the top of the support layer 411 can still be maintained on the top of the support layer 411 after being hot melted to form the second spacing layer L2; the effect of the second spacing layer L2 with sufficient thickness on the top of the support layer 411 is that, when the top seed layer 51 is formed, the second spacing layer L2 with sufficient thickness can avoid the fibers in the support layer 411 from being exposed, thereby improving the plating capability of the top seed layer 51 (the top seed layer 51 is not easy to be plated on the fibers).
[0070] In addition, when the upper conductive layer 12 or the connection metal layer 53 is subjected to a high voltage, the condition of arc breakdown (or collapse) can be reduced to occur when the upper conductive layer 12 and the connection metal layer 53 have sufficient thickness, i.e. the upper conductive layer 12 and the connection metal layer 53 have sufficient thickness, which can improve the withstand voltage capability of the packaging element of the present application.
