Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, and particularly relates to a package substrate structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, the number of I / O (input / output pins) on chips has increased. As a connection bridge between integrated chips and printed circuit boards, the line fineness requirements for package substrates are also getting higher and higher, which puts higher requirements on the package substrates themselves. Traditional package substrates can no longer meet the needs. In addition, multi-chip packaging and heterogeneous integration applications are becoming more and more widespread. Multiple chips are embedded on the package substrate at the same time to form 2.5D or 3D multi-chip packaging. This technology also requires smaller wiring density and higher integration of the package substrate.
[0003] However, such packaging has higher requirements for the warpage and deformation of the package substrate. Due to the core board of traditional organic IC (integrated circuit) package substrates being composed of polymers and glass fibers, there is large shrinkage and expansion deformation, serious warpage, and poor flatness of the board surface, making it difficult to form fine conductive lines, resulting in limited achievable line integration. Moreover, due to the large energy loss and poor interconnect performance of the core board material. The prior art currently solves this problem by increasing the board thickness, but if the board thickness is too large, it will cause an increase in the overall board thickness of the IC package substrate and a significant increase in weight, bringing inconvenience to production operations.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a package substrate that can reduce warpage and deformation and improve interconnect performance.

The inorganic material layer 13 fills the gaps between the patterned interconnect layer 12 and covers the interconnect layer 12 to be flush with the surface of the connection structure 122, exposing the surface of the connection structure 122.

Each of the interconnect layers 12 is coated with one of the inorganic material layers 13, and effective electrical connection between each of the interconnect layers 12 is achieved through the connection structure 122.
[0074] Next, as Figure 4 shown, perform step 3 to remove the carrier substrate 11.
[0075] Then, as Figure 5 shown, perform step 4 to provide patterned dielectric build-up layers 21 on both the first surface and the second surface of the core board layer 1. The patterned dielectric build-up layers 21 include vias 211 penetrating through the dielectric build-up layers 21 to expose a part of the interconnect layers 12.
[0076] In one embodiment, the vias 211 of the dielectric build-up layers 21 are provided by laser drilling.

[0078] Finally, perform step 5 to provide a patterned conductive layer 22 on the dielectric build-up layers 21. The conductive layer 22 forms effective electrical connection with the interconnect layers 12 through the vias 211.
[0079] In one embodiment, the preparation method of the conductive layer 22 includes:
[0080] As Figure 6 shown, cover a seed layer 221 on the dielectric build-up layers 21. The seed layer 221 covers the dielectric build-up layers 21 and the exposed surfaces of the interconnect layers 12.

Thus, the warping problem can be reduced without increasing the thickness of the packaging substrate, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the size of the packaging substrate. At the same time, the interconnection performance of the packaging substrate is improved, and the achievable circuit integration degree is increased; in addition, by utilizing the low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss of the inorganic material layer 13, the transmission performance of electrical signals in the packaging substrate is improved.

The conductive layer 22 is located on the dielectric enhancement layer 21, and the conductive layer 22 makes an effective electrical connection with the interconnect layer 12 of the core board layer 1 through the through holes 211.
[0095] In summary, for the packaging substrate structure and its preparation method of the present invention, by using an inorganic material layer as the core board of the packaging substrate, the expansion, contraction and deformation of the packaging substrate can be reduced, the warping problem of the packaging substrate can be alleviated, the flatness of the surface of the packaging substrate can be improved, and a circuit with higher precision can be achieved; moreover, by utilizing the low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss factor of the inorganic material layer, the interconnect performance of the packaging substrate can be improved; in addition, by using 3D printing technology to set the core board of the packaging substrate, the flatness of the core board can be further improved.
