Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a semiconductor packaging structure. Background Art
[0002] Figure 1 The figure shows a FlipChip Ball Grid Array with Heat Spread (HFCBGA) with heat spread characteristics in the prior art. Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows a top view of the HFCBGA after removing the heat dissipation structure 1. Figure 3 The stress distribution diagram of HFCBGA from a top view is shown. Figure 4 The bottom of the heat dissipation structure 1 is completely fixed to the substrate 3 by the adhesive layer 2, which has a high bonding strength. As a result, the substrate 3 cannot be continuously deformed under the conditions of the thermal cycle test, and the solder mask (SR) 4 on the bottom of the substrate 3 will be cracked. Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The high stress area 6] causes the HFCBGA failure problem. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The distance between the first part 201 of the adhesive layer 2 and the chip 7 is smaller than the distance between the second part 202 and the chip 7. Therefore, the stress at the first part 201 is greater, resulting in a higher strain of the substrate 3 under the same unit length, which exceeds the stress that the substrate 3 can withstand, making it more likely that the solder mask 4 at the bottom will break. Figure 5 A partial cross-sectional electron microscope image of substrate 3 at region 6 is shown. Substrate 3 includes, for example, six layers of circuitry (e.g., copper wires). Cracks 5 originating from solder mask 4 extend upward, from solder mask 4 to circuit layers L6 and L5. The failure rate of conventional HFCBGAs is approximately 6%, meaning, for example, 15 out of every 240 units (15 / 240 ea) fail.
[0003] The prior art can avoid the above problem by improving the distribution of the circuit layers in the substrate 3 or the position of the chip 7 , but this will affect the utilization rate and electrical performance of the HFCBGA. Utility Model Content

[0014] In some embodiments, the length of the first section of the bonding structure at the first distance is greater than the length of the second section.
[0015] In some embodiments, the second section of the bonding structure located at the second distance forms a right angle with the first section, and the second section of the bonding structure located at the first distance forms an obtuse angle with the first section.
[0016] In some embodiments, the length of the first section of the bonding structure at the first distance is different from the length of the first section of the bonding structure at the second distance.
[0017] In some embodiments, the lengths of the first sections of the bonding structure located at the first distance are different.
[0018] In some embodiments, the semiconductor package structure further includes: a connection layer located between the electronic component and the heat dissipation structure.
[0019] In some embodiments, the connection layer is a thermal interface material.
[0020] A semiconductor packaging structure includes: a substrate; a heat dissipation structure disposed on the substrate; an electronic component located between the substrate and the heat dissipation structure; and an adhesive structure surrounding the electronic component and connecting the substrate and a bottom portion of the heat dissipation structure.

The adhesion force of the adhesive structure in an area closer to the electronic component (and therefore subject to greater stress due to the influence of the electronic component) is less than the adhesion force in an area farther from the electronic component, so as to achieve adaptive bonding strength: the bonding strength is low at locations close to the electronic component and high at locations farther from the electronic component, thereby reducing the possibility of substrate cracking.

[0050] Figures 6 to 16 The diagram shows a process of forming a semiconductor package structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0051] Figure 6 It is shown that a substrate 10 is provided.
[0052] Figure 7 The electronic component 30 is shown bonded to the substrate 10 , for example, by flip chip bonding (FCB).
[0053] Figure 8 An underfill layer 60 is shown formed between the electronic component 30 and the substrate 10 .
[0054] Figure 9It is shown that a connection layer 50 is formed on the electronic component 30 and the bonding structure 40 is formed on the substrate 10, and the connection layer 50 is a thermal interface material (TIM).
[0055] Figure 10 Shown Figure 9 In the top view of the step shown, the bonding structure 40 is discontinuous. The top surface of the substrate 10 includes a first side 11 and a second side 12 connected to each other. The first side (long side) 11 is longer than the second side (short side) 12. The bonding structure 40 has two breaks 44 at the middle positions of the two long sides.
[0056] Figure 10 Also shown are enlarged views of the bonding structure 40 at a region 46 at a first distance D1 from the first side 31 of the electronic component 30 and at a region 48 at a second distance D2 from the second side 32 of the electronic component 30. It can be seen that the bonding structure 40 is curved, has a serpentine structure, and has a trapezoidal (W-shaped) structure in region 46.
[0057] Furthermore, the bonding structure 40 includes a plurality of first segments 41 that are parallel to the first side 11 (i.e., the extension direction of the bottom of the heat dissipation structure 20) and staggered, and a plurality of second segments 42 that are located between the staggered first segments 41 and connected end-to-end to the first segments 41. The second segments 42 in region 48 are perpendicular to the first segments 41, meaning that the angle β between the second segments 42 and the first segments 41 is a right angle. The angle α between the second segments 42 and the first segments 41 in region 46 is an obtuse angle, meaning that it is greater than the angle β. Therefore, the wavelength of the bonding structure 40 in region 46 is greater than the wavelength of the bonding structure 40 in region 48. For the same area of the top surface of the substrate 10, the first amount of the bonding structure 40 in region 46 is less than the second amount of the bonding structure 40 in region 48.
[0058] Figure 11 An enlarged view of the adhesive structure 40 at region 46 of the second embodiment is shown, where the angle between the first segment 41 and the second segment 42 is also a right angle. That is, on the same area of the top surface of substrate 10, the amount of first segment 41 in region 46 and region 48 is the same, and therefore the adhesive strength of the adhesive structure 40 in the direction of extension of the first segment 41 is the same in region 46 and region 48. At the same time, the wavelength of the adhesive structure 40 in region 46 is increased, that is, the first segment 41 of the adhesive structure 40 at the first distance D1 is longer than the first segment 41 of the adhesive structure 40 at the second distance D2. That is, by increasing the distance between the second segments 42 in region 46, the amount of the second segments 42 is reduced (i.e., the total amount of the adhesive structure 40 is reduced). As a result, the adhesive strength of the adhesive structure 40 in the direction of extension of the second segment 41 in region 46 and region 48 is different, with the adhesive strength in region 46 being less than that in region 48. In region 46 of the second embodiment, the length of the first segment 41 can be equal to the length of the second segment 42.
[0059] Figure 12 An enlarged view of the bonding structure 40 at area 46 of the third embodiment is shown, wherein the angle between the first section 41 and the second section 42 is also a right angle. Compared with the second embodiment, the third embodiment further enlarges the length of the first section 41, and the length of the first section 41 is greater than the length of the second section 42, and the total amount of the bonding structure 40 at area 46 is further reduced.
[0060] Figure 13 An enlarged view of the bonding structure 40 at the region 46 of the fourth embodiment is shown, wherein the angle between the first segment 41 and the second segment 42 is an obtuse angle. Compared with the first embodiment, the fourth embodiment increases the wavelength of the bonding structure 40 at the region 46, that is, increases the length of the first segment 41, thereby increasing the distance between the second segments 42. Therefore, based on the fact that the angle α in the first and fourth embodiments is an obtuse angle, the fourth embodiment further reduces the total amount of the bonding structure 40.
[0061] Figure 14 An enlarged view of the bonding structure 40 at the area 46 of the fifth embodiment is shown, wherein the angle between the first section 41 and the second section 42 is an obtuse angle, compared to the first and fourth embodiments. Figure 14 The first section 41 on the upper side (closer to the electronic component 30 ) is shorter than the first section 41 on the lower side (farther from the electronic component 30 ). Therefore, in the fifth embodiment, the closer the adhesive structure 40 is to the electronic component 30 in the region 46 , the weaker the adhesive force.
[0062] Figure 15 It is shown that the heat dissipation structure 20 is formed on the substrate 10 , and the bonding structure 40 bonds the bottom of the heat dissipation structure 20 and the substrate 10 .
[0063] Figure 16 It is shown that solder balls 70 are formed on the bottom surface of the substrate 10 , completing the manufacture of the semiconductor package structure 100 .
[0064] The embodiment of the present application changes the dispensing method of the adhesive structure 40, that is, changes the coating shape of the adhesive structure 40. The adhesive structure 40 is curved. Compared with the prior art, the adhesive structure 40 does not fully coat the space between the bottom of the heat dissipation structure 40 and the substrate 10, so as to reduce the connection force between the heat dissipation structure 40 and the substrate 10, thereby reducing the possibility of cracking of the semiconductor packaging structure during continuous deformation during continuous temperature cycle testing (reliability testing), thereby improving the yield of the semiconductor packaging structure 100.
[0065] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, on the same area of the top surface of the substrate 10 below the bottom of the heat dissipation structure 20, the first amount of the adhesive structure 40 located at a first distance D1 from the first side 31 of the electronic component 30 is less than the second amount of the adhesive structure 40 located at a second distance D2 (D2>D1) from the second side 32 of the electronic component 30, and the adhesion of the adhesive structure in the area 46 closer to the electronic component 30 (and therefore subjected to greater stress due to the influence of the electronic component 30) is less than the adhesion in the area 48 farther from the electronic component 30, so as to achieve adaptive bonding strength: the bonding strength is low near the electronic component (chip) 30, and the bonding strength is high far from the electronic component 30, thereby further reducing the possibility of cracking the solder mask layer of the substrate 10 in the area close to the electronic component 30.
[0066] Figure 17 The stress distribution diagram of the semiconductor package structure 100 from a top view is shown, and the stress distribution diagram of the semiconductor package structure 100 from a top view is shown. Figure 3 and this application Figure 17 , set a same specific stress value, Figure 3 The area exceeding a specific stress value accounts for 100% of all areas, Figure 17 The area exceeding the specific stress value accounts for 58% of the entire area, and the stress of the semiconductor package structure 100 of the present application is reduced by 42%.
[0067] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
