Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of chip packaging, in particular to a lead frame packaging method and packaging structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of the semiconductor industry, the dual flat no-leads (DFN) and quad flat no-leads (QFN) structures are widely used in the semiconductor industry. The DFN and QFN structures adopt a wettable flank structure and are plated with a solderable plating layer on the side surface to form a three-dimensional solder joint, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the component and the circuit board, reducing the failure caused by poor soldering, improving the reliability and stability of the product, and enabling the solder joint to flow upward along the pin to form a clear and visible fillet, which facilitates the detection of the quality of the solder joint by using the automatic optical inspection (AOI) technology without relying on the X-ray image, thereby improving the detection efficiency and safety and reducing the detection cost.

[0003] In the existing DFN and QFN structures, the lead frame back adhesive film can prevent the bottom pins from being encapsulated during plastic packaging and can also support the lead frame during the wire bonding process. However, due to the existence of the space gap between the lead frame base island, connecting rod, and pins, the space gap needs to be filled and protected by the plastic encapsulation layer. However, during the plastic packaging process, the adhesive film in the space gap region is easily impacted by the mold flow of the plastic encapsulation layer, which can cause the adhesive film to fail to adhere, and even cause the adhesive film to fall off and form a gap, thereby causing the overflow of the plastic encapsulation layer on the back surface of the lead frame to contaminate the pins and base island regions on the back surface of the lead frame.

[0004] In addition, during the subsequent electroplating process on the back surface of the pins, the gap between the pins can cause the electrical connection performance between the pins to be relatively poor, and the current skin effect can easily occur during electroplating, i.e., the current density on the surface of the pins is too high, and the current density inside the pins is too low, thereby affecting the quality of the plating layer and the process efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] It should be noted that: similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in the subsequent drawings.

[0031] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that if the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of the present application is used, only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0032] In addition, if the terms "first", "second" and the like appear, they are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] As disclosed in the background art, in the existing lead frame packaging process, due to the existence of the space gap between the pin, the connecting rod, the base island and the like, the plastic encapsulation layer needs to be filled for protection and to realize structural support. However, during plastic encapsulation, due to the large plastic encapsulation pressure, the mold flow impact is easy to occur, the back adhesive film of the space gap area is easy to be impacted by the mold flow of the plastic encapsulation layer, and then the back adhesive film is easy to cause adhesion failure, and even the back adhesive film is easy to fall off to form a gap, thereby causing the overflow of the back of the plastic encapsulation layer to contaminate the pin / base island area of the back of the lead frame, and affecting the subsequent electroplating effect.

[0034] In addition, in the subsequent pin back electroplating process, since the pins are independent of each other and are not directly electrically connected, that is, there is a gap between the pins, the pins can only play the role of conductive lead through the connecting frame skeleton, but the transverse contact area between the skeleton and the pin is small, so the electrical connection performance between the pins is poor, and the current skin effect is easy to occur, which causes the surface current density of the pin to be too high and the internal current density to be too low, thereby affecting the plating layer quality and process efficiency.

[0035] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a lead frame packaging method and packaging structure, and it should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0036] First embodiment Referring to Figure 1 The present application provides a lead frame packaging method, which is used for preparing a packaging structure, and can reduce the risk of back overflow pollution during plastic encapsulation, and has better electroplating quality and higher process efficiency.

[0037] The lead frame packaging method provided by the present application comprises the following steps: S1: providing a lead frame 110.

[0038] Referring to Figure 2a , Figure 2b and Figure 2cThe lead frame 110 includes a connecting skeleton 111, a base island 112, and a plurality of connecting pins 113. The connecting skeleton 111 is provided with a mounting window, the base island 112 is arranged in the mounting window, and the base island 112 is provided with a connecting rod 116 around the base island 112, the connecting rod 116 is connected to the connecting skeleton 111, the plurality of connecting pins 113 are arranged on at least two sides of the base island 112 in a hollow manner, and the plurality of connecting pins 113 are connected to the connecting skeleton 111. Between every two adjacent connecting pins 113, a first dummy pin 120 connected to the connecting skeleton 111 is further arranged. It should be noted that the lead frame 110 can be provided with a plurality of rectangularly distributed mounting windows, and the base island 112 and the plurality of pins are arranged in each mounting window. The plurality of pins can be distributed around the base island 112, thereby facilitating the subsequent formation of the QFN packaging structure 100. Of course, the plurality of pins can also be distributed only on two opposite sides of the base island 112, thereby facilitating the subsequent formation of the DFN packaging structure 100. In the embodiment, the plurality of pins are distributed around the base island 112.

[0039] It should be noted that when step S1 is performed, the lead frame 110 needs to be prepared. The base island 112, the connecting pin 113, and the first dummy pin 120 are formed through a conventional lead frame 110 preparation process. The preparation process of the first dummy pin 120 is consistent with that of the connecting pin 113, and the first dummy pin 120 and the connecting pin 113 are both connected to the connecting skeleton 111. The protruding length of the first dummy pin 120 is less than that of the connecting pin 113.

[0040] S2: A first connecting line arc 121 is formed by wire bonding on the front surface of each first dummy pin 120.

[0041] Referring to Figure 3a , Figure 3b and Figure 3c The first connecting line arc 121 is connected to the adjacent first dummy pin 120 and / or connecting pin 113. Specifically, the first connecting line arc 121 can be connected to the adjacent first dummy pin 120, can be connected to the adjacent first dummy pin 120 and connecting pin 113, or can be connected to the adjacent connecting pin 113. In the embodiment, the first connecting line arc 121 is connected to the adjacent two first dummy pins 120.

[0042] In actual wire forming the first connecting line arc 121, the first connecting line arc 121 can be formed on the front surface of each first dummy pin 120 to connect to the adjacent first dummy pin 120, wherein the first connecting line arc 121 is arched and distributed above the connecting pin 113 between the adjacent two first dummy pins 120. The fence structure can be formed by the plurality of first connecting line arcs 121, which can connect the plurality of first dummy pins 120 into one on the one hand, improve the current density during subsequent electroplating, and thus improve the electroplating effect, especially the flow of current inside the packaging structure, improve the internal current density and electrical connection performance, thereby slowing down the skin effect and improving the electroplating effect. On the other hand, it can slow down the mold flow impact during plastic packaging, further preventing the mold flow impact from causing the back adhesive film to fall off.

[0043] S3: Forming a back adhesive layer 130 on the back of the connecting skeleton 111.

[0044] Referring to Figure 4a and Figure 4b , wherein the back adhesive layer 130 extends to cover the base island 112, the plurality of first dummy pins 120 and the plurality of connecting pins 113. Specifically, the back adhesive film can be attached to the back of the connecting skeleton 111 by using a film attachment machine, which can prevent the back of the connecting pin 113 from being encapsulated during plastic packaging, and can also support the chip 140 during the wire bonding process of the chip 140. The back adhesive film can cover the back of the base island 112 and the plurality of connecting pins 113, and cover the first dummy pin 120. By providing the first dummy pin 120, the adhesion of the back adhesive film can be further improved, so that the adhesion and fixing effect of the back adhesive film is better.

[0045] Referring to Figure 4c and Figure 4d , further, before step S3 is performed, a bonding groove 122 can be formed on the back of each first dummy pin 120 by laser slotting or mechanical slotting process, wherein the bonding groove 122 is used to accommodate the back adhesive layer 130. Specifically, the back adhesive layer 130 can cover the bonding groove 122 on the back of the first dummy pin 120. By providing the bonding groove 122, the adhesion between the back adhesive layer 130 and the first dummy pin 120 can be further improved, thereby further improving the adhesion and fixing effect of the back adhesive layer 130.

[0046] It is worth noting that after the groove forming the bonding groove 122, and before forming the back adhesive layer 130, the back of each connecting pin 113 can also be grooved to form a cutting groove 114, wherein the cutting groove 114 extends in the same direction as the bonding groove 122, and the depth of the cutting groove 114 is greater than the bonding groove 122, and the width of the cutting groove 114 is less than the bonding groove 122. Specifically, the cutting groove 114 is relatively narrower and deeper, and the bonding groove 122 is relatively wider and shallower. Both the bonding groove 122 and the cutting groove 114 can be in contact with the back adhesive layer 130, thereby improving the bonding force of the back adhesive layer 130, and also improving the flowability of the electroplating solution during the subsequent electroplating process.

[0047] It should be noted that the preparation sequence of the bonding groove 122 and the cutting groove 114 can not be limited, as long as it is completed before the back adhesive layer 130 is attached.

[0048] S4: Attaching the chip 140 on the lead frame 110, wherein the chip 140 is electrically connected to the plurality of connecting pins 113.

[0049] Referring to Figure 5a and Figure 5b , specifically, the back of the chip 140 can be first attached to the base island 112, and the front of the chip 140 is formed with a pad for realizing electrical connection, and then a plurality of structure wire arcs 141 are formed on the front of the chip 140 by wire bonding process, wherein the plurality of structure wire arcs 141 can be respectively connected to the plurality of connecting pins 113. In the present embodiment, connecting wire arcs can be formed around the chip 140 to form a QFN structure, and when a DFN structure is used, connecting wire arcs can be formed only on the two side edges of the front of the chip 140.

[0050] In other preferred embodiments of the present application, the lead frame 110 can also be designed without a base island, i.e. no base island and connecting rod are arranged in the mounting window, and the chip 140 can be directly attached to the plurality of connecting pins 113 by flip-chip process, also realizing the electrical connection between the chip 140 and the plurality of connecting pins 113.

[0051] S5: Forming a plastic encapsulation layer 150 on the front of the connecting skeleton 111.

[0052] Referring to Figure 6a and Figure 6bWherein the plastic sealing layer 150 fills the gap between the plurality of connecting pins 113 and covers the base island 112, the chip 140, the first dummy pin 120 and the plurality of connecting pins 113. Specifically, the plastic sealing liquid is filled and then pressure-injected by using the plastic sealing process, so as to fill the pin gap and protect the chip 140 structure to form the plastic sealing layer 150. Since the bonding force of the back adhesive layer 130 is enhanced by the bonding groove 122 on the first dummy pin 120 and the cutting groove 114 on the connecting pin 113, the mold flow impact generated during the plastic sealing will not cause the bonding failure of the back adhesive layer 130, thereby avoiding the situation that the back adhesive layer 130 falls off to form a gap and causes the plastic sealing overflow pollution.

[0053] S6: Remove the back adhesive layer 130 to expose the back surface of the connecting pin 113, the first dummy pin 120 and the connecting skeleton 111.

[0054] Referring to Figure 7a and Figure 7b , specifically, the back adhesive layer 130 can be removed by using a film tearing machine, so as to expose the back surface of the connecting pin 113, the base island 112 and the connecting skeleton 111, and expose the first dummy pin 120 and the bonding groove 122.

[0055] S7: Remove the back surface of the connecting pin 113 to form a step groove 160.

[0056] Referring to Figure 8a , the step groove can be formed by using an etching process. Specifically, a protection layer 161 can be first formed on the back surface of the connecting pin 113, which can be a photoresist and cover the back surface of the entire lead frame 110, then an etching opening is formed on the protection layer 161, which exposes a part of the connecting pin 113, and then the back surface of the pin is etched along the etching opening, so as to form the step groove. The depth of the step groove 160 is less than the depth of the bonding groove 122, and the width of the step groove 160 is greater than the minimum distance between the bonding grooves 122 in the adjacent two mounting windows, so that the step groove 160 can expose the bonding groove 122, thereby forming a half-cut state.

[0057] Referring to Figure 8b , of course, in other preferred embodiments of the present application, a cutting process (using a laser cutting machine, a plasma cutting machine or a mechanical cutting machine, etc.) can be used to complete the first wider area cutting, and a wider cutting knife can be used for local cutting after the first cutting, so as to form the step groove 160. The step groove 160 needs to extend to the connecting skeleton 111, and the depth of the step groove 160 is less than the depth of the bonding groove 122, and the width of the step groove 160 is greater than the minimum distance between the bonding grooves 122 in the adjacent two mounting windows, so that the step groove 160 can expose the bonding groove 122, thereby forming a half-cut state.

[0058] It should be noted that the step groove 160 can expose the cutting groove 114 and the bonding groove 122, facilitating subsequent plating operations.

[0059] S8: Back plating of the connecting pin 113 to form a back gold layer 170 extending to the sidewall of the step groove 160.

[0060] Referring to Figure 9 , specifically, the lead frame 110 is plated by using a plating process, and the lead frame 110 is electrically coupled to the negative pole of the conductive plating device, and the positive pole is coupled to the conductive plating material, and an electric current is applied to the lead frame 110, so that the plating material is deposited on the metal surface of the lead frame 110, i.e. on the surface of the connecting pin 113, the base island 112, the connecting skeleton 111, and the first pseudo pin 120 exposed from the plastic encapsulation layer 150, to form a metal layer. At this time, since the first connecting line arc 121 electrically connects the plurality of first pseudo pins 120 into one, the current density between the plurality of first pseudo pins 120 during plating can be improved, the internal current density is improved, the generation of skin effect is reduced, and the quality of the plated metal layer is improved. The back gold layer 170 can be at least one of tin, gold, silver, palladium, and nickel.

[0061] It should be noted that since the cutting groove 114 and the bonding groove 122 are both exposed to the step groove 160, an electroplating flow channel can be formed during plating, the conductive bonding groove 122 is wide and shallow, and the plating liquid can flow along the electroplating flow channel to improve the flowability of the plating liquid. And since the cutting groove 114 is narrow and deep, the plating liquid can be fully immersed in the connecting pin 113, and the electroplated metal layer can be better formed on the sidewall of the pin.

[0062] Referring to Figure 10a and Figure 10b , further, before step S8 is performed, a overflow groove 180 can also be formed by grooving the back surface of the connecting skeleton 111. Specifically, the overflow groove 180 can be formed by a laser grooving process on the back surface of the connecting skeleton 111, and the overflow groove 180 is formed around the mounting window. After forming the overflow groove 180, a drainage strip 181 can also be attached to at least part of the area of the overflow groove 180 to divide the overflow groove 180 into at least two overflow sub-grooves, wherein the extension direction of the drainage strip 181 is the same as the extension direction of the overflow groove 180. The preparation of the overflow groove 180 can improve the flowability of the plating liquid in the subsequent plating process, and the arrangement of the drainage strip 181 can form a plurality of flow channels to increase the contact area between the plating liquid and the lead frame 110, further reduce the skin effect, and improve the plating efficiency.

[0063] It should be noted that before the drainage strip 181 is attached, the drainage strip 181 can also be formed with a tapered flow guide hole 182 and a check hole 183 on the side wall, wherein the flow guide hole 182 and the check hole 183 are both inclined through to the opposite two side walls of the drainage strip 181, and the large hole end of the flow guide hole 182 and the small hole end of the check hole 183 are located on the same side wall of the drainage strip 181. Specifically, the flow guide hole 182 and the check hole 183 are both inclined holes, that is, the opening direction of the flow guide hole 182 and the check hole 183 is inclined to the extension direction of the drainage strip 181, and the designed inclination angle can be between 30-60°, for example, it can be 30°, 45° or 60°. And here the flow guide hole 182 and the check hole 183 are both tapered holes, and have relatively large and small hole ends, the large hole ends of the flow guide hole 182 and the check hole 183 are located on the two sides of the drainage strip 181 respectively, and the small hole ends of the two are also located on the two sides of the drainage strip 181 respectively, so here the flow guide hole 182 can be used as a flow guide hole to accelerate the flow of the electroplating solution in the overflow sub-tank on both sides of the drainage strip 181, and the check hole 183 can be used as a blocking hole to block the backflow of the liquid. Through the hole design, it can ensure that the flow rate of the electroplating solution in the overflow sub-tank on both sides is consistent, and the uniformity of electroplating is ensured.
