Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic device production, in particular to a packaged lead frame, a flip-chip packaged device and an electronic device. Background Art
[0002] In a flip-chip package, the chip's surface bumps are directly interconnected with the package substrate, providing the shortest signal transmission path for the product, resulting in excellent electrical performance with low capacitance, inductance, and resistance. Signal extraction from the chip surface requires the wafer fab to create solder window openings on the surface. To achieve optimal electrical characteristics, the solder window openings must be large, posing significant challenges to the fab's electroplating and surface passivation processes, impacting wafer yield and ultimately significantly increasing chip manufacturing costs. To ensure effective signal transmission and heat dissipation from the solder joints, the large solder window openings are divided into multiple smaller blocks without reducing their size. This maximizes signal transmission and heat dissipation while reducing the fab's process complexity.
[0003] See also Figure 1 When multiple small solder point windows 201 are created, gaps 202 are formed between adjacent solder point windows 201. Due to the narrow space in gaps 202, filler cannot penetrate during plastic encapsulation, resulting in cavities. The air in these cavities rapidly expands when the package is subjected to high temperatures, easily causing cracks and, in severe cases, device failure. Furthermore, the air in these cavities contains a certain amount of moisture, which reacts chemically with chlorine, leading to solder point failure and shortening the lifespan of the electronic device.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the package lead frame 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for a chip 200 having multiple solder point windows 201 . A thinning area 101 is provided on the surface of the package lead frame 100 , and the thinning area 101 is opposite to the gap area 202 between two adjacent solder point windows 201 .
[0027] By using the package lead frame 100 described in this embodiment, a chip 200 designed with a large solder point window 201 can be replaced with multiple small solder point windows 201, which can maximize signal transmission performance and heat dissipation performance, avoid the problem of increased process difficulty caused by setting large-sized solder point windows 201, reduce wafer processing costs, and thus reduce the production cost of flip-chip packaged devices. In addition, the thinning area 101 is opposite to the gap area 202, which increases the infiltration space of the plastic encapsulation filler. The plastic encapsulation filler can fully infiltrate and fill, avoiding the formation of voids inside the plastic encapsulation filler, and improving the reliability of the package. It is particularly suitable for improvements after the layout design of the chip 200 is finalized. It only needs to optimize the structure of the package lead frame 100, and has the advantages of low cost, high electrical characteristics, and high heat dissipation.
[0028] In this embodiment of the present invention, thinned region 101 extends along the surface of package lead frame 100. In a cross section perpendicular to the extension direction of thinned region 101, the bottom of thinned region 101 is configured as a concave arc structure. This avoids corners that would hinder filler penetration, thereby ensuring that filler can fully fill thinned region 101. During the package heating process, package lead frame 100 is heated evenly, preventing cracking or uneven heating caused by filler voids. This reduces internal stress in the package structure, thereby improving its reliability.
[0029] In an optional embodiment, the thinning area 101 is configured as a half-etched groove. The half-etched surface treatment hardly increases the manufacturing cost for the production of the package lead frame 100. The surface of the package lead frame 100 forms an unpenetrated thinning area 101, which can ensure the structural integrity of the package lead frame 100 and thus ensure that the structural strength of the package lead frame 100 is not destroyed.
[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the surface of the package lead frame 100 is thinned by 0.07 mm to 0.13 mm to form a thinned area 101. The thinned area 101 can be wider than the gap area 202. Even the thinned area 101 can be formed by etching in all areas except the boss area 102 opposite to the solder joint window 201. The thinned area 101 is surrounded by a plurality of boss areas 102, and the plurality of boss areas 102 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of solder joint windows 201.
[0031] It should be noted that, through the verification of the entire flip-chip packaging process, the package lead frame 100 improves the resin filling problem in narrow gaps by setting a thinning area 101. Through 3D modeling simulation, etching and thinning can improve the problem of poor plastic injection filling. At the same time, it is also beneficial to the release of internal stress of the material of the package lead frame 100 during the packaging heating process, thereby reducing the internal stress of the packaging structure and improving the overall reliability of the package.
[0032] The flip-chip package device provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes: a chip 200 having multiple solder point openings 201 and a package lead frame 100 described in the above embodiment; the multiple solder point openings 201 are respectively connected to the package lead frame 100 via an adhesive 300; a gap area 202 is formed between any two adjacent solder point windows 201, and at least one gap area 202 is opposite to the thinning area 101.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, a thinning area 101 may be provided on the opposite side of the smaller gap area 202 , thereby increasing the filler space there so that a molding filler such as resin can fully penetrate therein.
[0034] In the embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the package lead frame 100 has multiple thinning areas 101, and multiple gap areas 202 are opposite to the multiple thinning areas 101 one by one, thereby expanding the filling space of each gap area 202, thereby ensuring that adjacent solder joint windows 201 can be fully filled.
[0035] Furthermore, a plastic filler is filled between the relatively thinned area 101 and the gap area 202. The plastic filler can be filled with resin and solidified, and can also be replaced with other types of fillers as needed.
[0036] The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present utility model is equipped with the flip-chip packaging device described in the above-mentioned embodiment. The electronic device has the technical advantages of the above-mentioned flip-chip packaging device, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the electronic device, reducing the production cost of the electronic device, and ensuring the electrical characteristics and heat dissipation performance.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
