Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit packaging, and in particular to a hot-pressed bridge three-dimensional fan-out packaging method and structure. Background Art
[0002] Advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes are gradually reaching their limits, and the pace of development along Moore's Law is slowing down. Fan-out wafer-level packaging, on the other hand, breaks through the I / O pin limit of traditional fan-in packaging by reconstructing the wafer. It also uses technologies such as multi-layer redistribution wiring (RDL) to reduce pin spacing, thin the package thickness, and reduce high-frequency signal transmission loss, thereby further improving chip integration.
[0003] In recent years, fan-out wafer-level packaging (FLP) has gradually developed into a representative advanced packaging technology in consumer electronics, high-performance computing, and other fields, and is a key technology for continuing Moore's Law. However, the wafer-level fan-out process is complex, including wafer reconstruction, plastic encapsulation, and rewiring. Each critical step can have a significant impact on package reliability.
[0004] Wafer warpage is a key process challenge for fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOP). Due to a mismatch in the thermal expansion coefficients of the chip encapsulation material and the chip material in the reconstructed wafer, the reconstructed wafer warps with temperature fluctuations. During multi-layer wiring, the addition of surface materials and temperature cycling exacerbate this warpage, severely impacting subsequent processes. Wiring processes with more than three layers become significantly more difficult to process, making reliability difficult to guarantee. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Balls are implanted on the under-bump metallization layer of the reconstructed multi-layer resin wafer, and then the multi-layer reconstructed resin wafer is diced to form a single SIP package module; the SIP package module is flip-chip bonded to the substrate to form a final package body.
[0013] In one embodiment, the multi-layer interconnect metal rewiring is a wiring process in which metal layers and passivation layers overlap multiple times.
