Generally, chip displacement / slippage may be caused by (1) the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion between the chip and the substrate, and (2) the chip size. The larger the chip size, the greater the warping of the substrate, and the greater the warping, the less accurate the contact. Summary of the Invention
[0003] One embodiment of the present invention provides a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a cage-like component, a semiconductor chip, a package, and a first redistribution layer. The cage-like component has a first cage-like component surface, a second cage-like component surface opposite to the first cage-like component surface, and a cavity extending from the first cage-like component surface to the second cage-like component surface. The semiconductor chip is disposed in the cavity. The package covers the semiconductor chip. The first redistribution layer is formed above the package and the semiconductor chip.

[0008] In one example, the cage has a cage surface and the package covers the cage surface and the first cage surface, but exposes the second cage surface.
[0009] In one example, the cavity is a blind via located on a cage-like component, which is a substrate. The semiconductor chip is a flip-chip with an active surface, which is bonded to the substrate in the blind via, with the active surface facing the blind via.

The third layer is disposed on the surface of the first cage-like member and located between the first layer and the surface of the first cage-like member. A conductive portion electrically connects the second layer and the third layer.
[0014] In one example, the package is disposed in a cavity and between one side of the semiconductor chip and the side of the cavity.
[0015] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The manufacturing method includes the following steps: disposing a cage-like member on a carrier, wherein the cage-like member has a first cage-like member surface, a second cage-like member surface opposite to the first cage-like member surface, and a cavity extending from the first cage-like member surface to the second cage-like member surface; disposing a semiconductor chip in the cavity; disposing a package covering the semiconductor chip; disposing a first overlay layer covering the package and the semiconductor chip; and removing the carrier to expose the first overlay layer.
[0016] In one example, the step of configuring the first overlay to cover the package and the semiconductor chip includes: configuring the first overlay on a carrier; transferring the first overlay via the carrier to the package and the semiconductor chip; and removing the carrier.
[0017] In one example, the manufacturing method further includes removing a portion of the cage-like component and the semiconductor chip.
[0018] In one example, during the step of configuring the package to cover the semiconductor chip, the package further covers one side of the cage-like component.
[0019] In one example, a cage-like component containing a cavity with a blind via is disposed on a carrier; the semiconductor chip is a flip-chip, flip-chip bonded into the blind via, with one active surface of the semiconductor chip facing the blind via.

[0023] In one example, in the step of configuring the package to cover the semiconductor chip, the package is configured in a cavity and between one side of the semiconductor chip and one side of the cavity.
[0024] This invention primarily addresses the issue that during the chip packaging reconstruction process of wafer-level packaging or panel-level packaging products, the molding compound may cause excessive chip displacement during the covering process of the package, thereby affecting the workability and stability of subsequent processes (such as the fabrication of redistribution layers). Therefore, it proposes various improvements to the package structure and manufacturing process to improve and ensure high yield and output of the final product. Attached Figure Description

[0106] The following embodiments are disclosed to illustrate the present invention in detail. These embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of patent protection of the present invention. Furthermore, minor components may be omitted in the following embodiments to highlight the technical features of the present invention.
[0107] Please refer to Figures 1A and 1B. Figure 1A A schematic diagram of a semiconductor device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and Figure 1B Showing according to Figure 1A A cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device 100 along direction 1B-1B'.
[0108] As shown in Figures 1A and 1B, the semiconductor device 100 includes at least one cage-like member 110, at least one semiconductor chip 120, a package 130, a first redistribution layer (RDL) 140, and at least one contact 150. The cage-like member 110 has a first cage-like member surface 110s1, a second cage-like member surface 110s2 opposite to the first cage-like member surface 110s1, and a cavity 110c extending from the first cage-like member surface 110s1 toward the second cage-like member surface 110s2. The semiconductor chip 120 is disposed within the cavity 110c. The package 130 covers the semiconductor chip 120. The first redistribution layer 140 is disposed above the package 130 and the semiconductor chip 120. The cage-like member 110 can restrain the displacement of the semiconductor chip 120. Furthermore, during the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device 100, the semiconductor chip 120 can be placed in the cavity 110c of the cage-like member 110 to be confined in the cavity 110c, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the semiconductor chip 120 and the first layer 140.
[0109] Furthermore, chip displacement / slippage is caused by: (1) the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the carrier, the molding compound, and the embedded chip, as well as the chemical shrinkage of the molding compound; and (2) the influence of chip size, chip adhesion to the release layer, flow behavior of the molding compound, and related forces on the chip during compression molding. Geometry (e.g., carrier type and thickness, mold thickness, chip thickness, total silicon content / density, side panel size, etc.) also plays an important role in chip displacement / slippage and panel warpage. The solutions in this application, including but not limited to chip cages / stops / constrainers, permanent die bonding, related processes, and adaptive patterning, may help to minimize the impact. The term "bonding" in this application may also be referred to as "bonding".
[0110] Furthermore, warpage is also caused by differences in the coefficients of thermal expansion between the carrier, molding compound, and embedded chip, and is affected by the chemical shrinkage of the molding compound. Geometry (e.g., carrier type and thickness, die thickness, chip thickness, total silicon content / density, side panel dimensions, etc.) also plays a significant role in chip displacement / slippage and panel warpage. The solution of this application includes thicker, more rigid carriers (including cage-like treatments) / support substrates with sufficient thickness and thermomechanical properties (e.g., coefficient of thermal expansion, modulus, etc.) to minimize warpage. Separate overmolding islands (see Figures 22A and 22B) can be used to separate die blocks from other die blocks to minimize thermal expansion mismatch, mold flow, and other effects. Lower coefficients of thermal expansion, lower modulus molding compounds or encapsulation materials, and adaptive patterning can minimize warpage effects.
[0111] Furthermore, the fine-line / space (L / S) capability in semiconductor devices can be equal to or less than 2 / 2 μm. Significant FOPLP process development is required to address the major technological and material challenges posed by the substantial increase in panel area. Building more and finer L / S redistribution layers on large panels leads to reduced yield and increased chip waste. The solution presented in this application includes heterogeneous integration of wafer and substrate technologies, aided by FOPLP (e.g., building finer L / S redistribution layers on a carrier wafer, testing them to ensure known good structures, dicing the wafer, and bonding the known good redistribution layers to the dies on the panel). A horizontal-level fine L / S redistribution layer is created using liquid resist spraying, and a vertical-level fine L / S redistribution layer is formed using laser drilling, DRIE, dry argon desmear, physical vapor deposition (CVD) of barrier / seed layers, dry film, metalhard mask, copper pillar plating, wet cleaning, and combinations thereof. Built-in redistribution layer test circuitry (e.g., daisy chains), multi-site panel-level testing, and / or chip-related built-in self-test (BIST) are implemented.
[0112] In this embodiment, the cage-like component 110 may be formed of materials including metal, glass, ceramic, etc. In one embodiment, the cage-like component 110 may not include any circuit components.
[0113] like Figure 1A As shown, the cage-like member 110 is in a dead loop shape. In another embodiment, the cage-like member 110 may be an open-ring shape. Viewed from above (towards the -Z axis), the cage-like member 110 may be polygonal (e.g., rectangle, triangle, etc.), circular, elliptical, etc. The cage-like member 110 has a first cage-like member side 110s3 and a second cage-like member side 110s4 opposite to the first cage-like member side 110s3. The distance d1 between the second cage-like member side 110s4 of the cage-like member 110 and the side 120s of the semiconductor chip 120 may be between, for example, 1 micrometer to 10 micrometers, such as 1 micrometer, 2 micrometers, 3 micrometers, 4 micrometers, 5 micrometers, 6 micrometers, 7 micrometers, 8 micrometers, 9 micrometers, or 10 micrometers. Such a distance d1 can improve the positioning accuracy of the semiconductor chip 120 and the first redistribution layer 140.
[0114] In this embodiment, the cavity 110c is a through hole. For example, the cavity 110c extends from the surface 110s2 of the second cage-like member to the surface 110s1 of the first cage-like member. In another embodiment, the cavity 110c is, for example, a blind hole.
[0115] like Figure 1B As shown, the semiconductor chip 120 includes a substrate 121, a front-end-of-line (FEOL) structure 122, a back-end-of-line (BEOL) structure 123, and at least one contact 124. The substrate 121 is, for example, a portion of a silicon wafer. The front-end-of-line structure 122 is formed within and / or on the substrate 121, the back-end-of-line structure 123 is formed within and / or on the front-end-of-line structure 122 and electrically connected to it, and the contact 124 is formed on and electrically connected to the back-end-of-line structure 123. The contact 124 is, for example, a solder ball, a microbump, a micropillar, etc.
[0116] like Figure 1B As shown, the semiconductor chip 120 has a chip surface (back side of the chip) 120b, which is exposed outside the cavity 110c, and the chip surface 120b of the semiconductor chip 120 is aligned with (e.g., flush with) the second cage surface 110s2 of the cage-like member 110. Furthermore, the semiconductor chip 120 protrudes relative to the first cage surface 110s1 of the cage-like member 110.
[0117] like Figure 1BAs shown, the package 130 encapsulates the cage-like component 110 and the semiconductor chip 120. For example, the package 130 covers the first cage-like surface 110s1 and the second cage-like side 110s4 of the cage-like component 110, the side 120s of the semiconductor chip 120, and the side of the contact 124, but exposes the second cage-like surface 110s2 and the first cage-like side 110s3 of the cage-like component 110. In addition, the package 130 also fills a portion of the cavity 110c.
[0118] like Figure 1B As shown, the package 130 has a package side 130s, and the package side 130s and the first cage side 110s3 are aligned with each other (e.g., flush). Furthermore, during the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device 100, the package side 130s and the first cage side 110s3 are formed, for example, by division (e.g., by sawing, such as diamond blade sawing or laser sawing).
[0119] Furthermore, the encapsulation 130 may be, for example, a molding compound, laminated photoresist, etc. The molding compound includes, for example, a novolac-based resin, epoxy resin, silicone resin, or other suitable encapsulation material, and may contain suitable fillers such as powdered silica (SiO2). The molding compound may be formed through, for example, transfer molding, compression molding, lamination, etc.
[0120] like Figure 1BAs shown, a first re-layer 140 is disposed on and / or above the package 130 and the semiconductor chip 120. The first re-layer 140 is electrically connected to the semiconductor chip 120. For example, the first re-layer 140 is electrically connected to the contact 124 of the semiconductor chip 120. The first re-layer 140 includes at least one conductive pad 141 for receiving the contact 150. Since the semiconductor chip 120 is confined in the cavity 110c, the positioning accuracy of the contact 124 of the semiconductor chip 120 and the conductive pad 141 of the first re-layer 140 can be improved. The first re-layer 140 includes a conductive portion 142 and a dielectric layer 143. Furthermore, the first re-layer 140 has a re-layer side 140s, and the re-layer side 140s is aligned with (e.g., flush with) the first cage-like member side 110s3. Furthermore, during the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device 100, the redistribution layer side 140s and the first cage-like member side 110s3 are formed, for example, by slitting (e.g., sawing, such as diamond blade sawing or laser sawing). The conductive portion 142 may be formed of a material including metals (e.g., copper), and the dielectric layer 143 may be formed of a material including polyimide (PI), oxides, etc.
[0121] like Figure 1B As shown, contacts 150 are disposed on the first overlay 140. For example, each contact 150 is disposed on a corresponding conductive pad 141 of the first overlay 140. The semiconductor device 100 is, for example, a ball grid array (BGA), and the contacts 150 are, for example, solder balls (or BGA balls), microbumps, etc.
[0122] Please refer to Figure 2 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0123] like Figure 2 As shown, semiconductor device 200 includes at least one semiconductor chip 220, package 230, first redistribution layer 140, and at least one contact 150. Semiconductor device 200 includes the same or similar features as semiconductor device 100, wherein at least one difference is that the cage member 110 may be omitted in semiconductor device 200.
[0124] like Figure 2As shown, the semiconductor chip 220 includes a substrate 221, a front-end process structure 122, a back-end process structure 123, and at least one contact 124. The substrate 221 is, for example, a part of a silicon wafer. The front-end process structure 122 is formed in and / or on the substrate 221. The back-end process structure 123 is formed in and / or on the front-end process structure 122 and is electrically connected to the front-end process structure 122. The contact 124 is formed on the back-end process structure 123 and is electrically connected to the back-end process structure 123. The contact 124 is, for example, a solder ball, a micro-bump, a micro-column, etc.
[0125] As Figure 2 shown, the substrate 221 has a thickness t1. Compared with Figure 1B the substrate 121, the thickness t1 of the substrate 221 is less than the thickness of the substrate 121 in the same direction. The package 230 has a thickness t2. Compared with Figure 1B the package 130, the thickness t2 of the package 230 is less than the thickness of the package 130 in the same direction. In addition, during the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device 200, Figure 1B the cage-like member 110, a part of the semiconductor chip 120, and a part of the package 130 can be removed, for example, by grinding. After removal, a thinned semiconductor chip 220 and a thinned package 230 are formed. After removal, the substrate 221 of the semiconductor chip 220 forms a chip surface 220b, and the package 230 forms a package surface 230b, where the chip surface 220b of the semiconductor chip 220 and the package surface 230b of the package 230 are aligned (e.g., flush) with each other.
[0126] Please refer to Figure 3 , which shows a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device 300 according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0127] As Figure 3 shown, the semiconductor device 300 includes at least one cage-like member 310, at least one semiconductor chip 120, a package 130, a first redistribution layer 140, and at least one contact 150. The cage-like member 310 has a first cage-like member surface 310s1, a second cage-like member surface 310s2 opposite to the first cage-like member surface 310s1, and a cavity 310c extending from the first cage-like member surface 310s1 to the second cage-like member surface 310s2. The semiconductor chip 120 is disposed in the cavity 310c. The package 130 covers the semiconductor chip 120. The first redistribution layer 140 is disposed above the package 130 and the semiconductor chip 120. The cage-like member 310 can restrict the displacement amount of the semiconductor chip 120. In addition, during the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device 300, the semiconductor chip 120 can be placed in the cavity 310c of the cage-like member 310 to be restricted in the cavity 310c, thereby improving the positioning accuracy between the semiconductor chip 120 and the first redistribution layer 140.
[0128] In this embodiment, the cage-like member 310 may be formed of a material including organic or inorganic materials, such as metal, glass, ceramic, etc. In one embodiment, the cage-like member 310 does not include any circuit components. The cage-like member 310 may be formed of the same or similar material as the cage-like member 110.
[0129] In an embodiment, cavity 310c may include the same or similar features as described above. In this embodiment, cavity 310c is a through hole. For example, cavity 310c extends from the second cage surface 310s2 to the first cage surface 310s1. In another embodiment, cavity 310c is, for example, a blind hole.
[0130] like Figure 3 As shown, the package 130 covers the first cage-like member side 310s3 and the first cage-like member surface 310s1, but exposes the second cage-like member surface 310s2.

At least one substrate 810 is disposed in a hole 55a, wherein each substrate 810 is disposed within a corresponding hole 55a. Then, using techniques such as coating, dispensing, molding, etc., a filler 57 is formed to fill the space between the substrate 810 and the sidewalls of the hole 55a. Then, using techniques such as electroplating, photolithography, deposition, etching, etc., a first overlapping layer structure 140' is formed above the substrate 810 and the filler 57. The first overlapping layer structure 140' includes at least one conductive pad 141, and the conductive pad 141 is located above the substrate 810. In other words, the conductive pad 141 overlaps with the substrate 810 on the Z-axis. The filler 57 can fix the relative position between the spacer 55 and the substrate 810. The filler 57 here can be a polymer encapsulant, oxide, silicon substrate, etc., commonly used in integrated circuit (IC) packages or liquid crystal display (LCD) driver IC packages. In one embodiment, the substrate 810 is, for example, an uncutter semiconductor wafer. The substrate 810 may include at least one integrated circuit. Furthermore, the thickness of the substrate 810 is equal to the thickness of the spacer 55 (e.g., on the Z-axis).

[0286] Then, to Figure 21E The filler 57 and release layer 51 (in the case of using a UV-release layer) are photodissociated (e.g., irradiated with UV). Preferably, the spacer 55 can be reused.
[0287] like Figure 21F As shown, after photodissociation, the structure including the first re-layer 140 and the substrate 810 is separated from the filler 57 and the release layer 51.

Multiple contacts 150 are arranged in a grid array. The contacts 150 are, for example, solder bumps, solder balls (or BGA balls). Then, techniques such as sawing (e.g., diamond blade sawing or laser sawing) can be used to... Figure 21G The semiconductor device 800 is simplified to form multiple semiconductor dies.
[0289] In another embodiment, techniques such as sawing (e.g., diamond blade sawing or laser sawing) can be used to... Figure 21F The structure is simplified to form multiple semiconductor dies, and then at least one contact 150 is formed on the conductive pad 141 of the first redistribution layer 140 of the semiconductor die.
[0290] Please refer to Figure 22A and 22B , Figure 22A A schematic diagram of panel-level packaging according to one embodiment is shown, while Figure 22B Show Figure 22A A cross-sectional view of the panel-level package along direction 22B-22B'.
[0291] Fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP) can significantly reduce assembly costs by 30% to 40% compared to FOWLP, provided that the related processes of chip placement, molding, and redistribution can be scaled up at the same production volume. Currently, FOPLP is used in low-end / mid-range, high-volume applications, such as power management ICs, which employ relatively relaxed size requirements, such as linewidth / spacing (L / S) equal to or greater than 10μm / 10μm and even more relaxed redistribution.
[0292] As shown in Figures 22A and 22B, in a panel-level package (e.g., a fan-out panel-level package or a fan-in panel-level package), multiple semiconductor devices 900 are disposed on a carrier 10 through a release layer 11. Each semiconductor device 900 is, for example, a semiconductor die, such as an active chip or a passive component. In another embodiment, this semiconductor die can be pre-bumped using a mature, high-volume, fine L / S wafer-level process (relative to the relatively new via-aperture / metal-fill process in large-panel fan-out panel-level packages) prior to FOPLP, wherein the bumps include solder bumps, copper pillar microbumps, gold bumps, or other bumps suitable for fine pitch. The package body material 130' includes multiple package islands 130A, wherein a dividing channel DS is formed at adjacent package islands 130A. Therefore, it can minimize thermal expansion coefficient mismatch, mold flow, and other effects. Lower thermal expansion coefficients, lower modulus molding compounds or package materials, and adaptive patterning can be used to minimize warpage effects.
