Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor package and a method for manufacturing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Solder or bumps are generally used as a medium for connecting a semiconductor chip to a substrate and an interposer. However, since it is difficult to directly connect the solder or bump to the conductive pad of the semiconductor chip, an under bump metallization (UBM) is disposed between the conductive pad and the solder or bump to improve the adhesion between the conductive pad and the solder or bump. However, even if the UBM is used in this manner, the adhesion between the UBM and the dielectric layer surrounding the UBM is not good, and the side of the UBM may peel off from the dielectric layer. To solve this problem, a T-type UBM technology has been developed that realizes a UBM in a T-shape and interposes an adhesion layer between the UBM and the dielectric layer to improve the adhesion between the UBM and the dielectric layer.
[0003] However, when the T-type UBM technology is used, one layer is required to form a horizontally extending upper structure in a T-shape and another layer is required to form an additional via structure to connect the upper structure to a redistribution line, which increases the turn around time (TAT) required to manufacture a semiconductor package and increases the cost of manufacturing the semiconductor package. In addition, since the thickness of the front side redistribution layer (FRDL) structure including the T-type UBM becomes thicker, a thickness difference occurs between the front side redistribution structure including the T-type UBM and the back side redistribution layer (BRDL) structure in a package on package (PoP) structure, which may cause warpage in the semiconductor package when performing a room temperature or high temperature process.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need to develop a new semiconductor packaging technology that can overcome these problems of the conventional technology. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2019-87719 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems in the conventional technology, and an object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor package and a manufacturing method thereof in which a horizontally extending upper structure that did not function as a wiring line in the conventional technology and an additional via structure for connecting the upper structure to a rewiring line are eliminated in T-type UBM technology. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a semiconductor package according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a first rewiring structure including a plurality of rewiring vias and a plurality of UBM (under bump metal) structures, and a first semiconductor die on the first rewiring structure, each of the plurality of UBM structures including a UBM via and a UBM wiring line extending horizontally on the UBM via to horizontally electrically connect one of the plurality of rewiring vias to the UBM via.
[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a semiconductor package according to another aspect of the present invention includes a first rewiring structure including a plurality of UBM (under bump metal) structures, a plurality of rewiring vias and a plurality of rewiring lines on the plurality of UBM structures, and a dielectric layer surrounding the plurality of UBM structures, the plurality of rewiring vias, and the plurality of rewiring lines, a plurality of connection members on a lower surface of the first rewiring structure, a first semiconductor die on the first rewiring structure, a plurality of conductive posts on the first rewiring structure, a molding material disposed on the first rewiring structure and molding the first semiconductor die and the plurality of conductive posts, a second rewiring structure on the molding material, and a second semiconductor die on the second rewiring structure, wherein each of the plurality of UBM structures includes a UBM via and a UBM wiring line extending horizontally on the UBM via to horizontally electrically connect one of the plurality of rewiring vias to the UBM via.
[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a manufacturing method for a semiconductor package according to one embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of forming a first rewiring structure including a plurality of UBM (under bump metal) structures and a plurality of rewiring vias on a carrier, mounting a first semiconductor die on the first rewiring structure, forming a plurality of conductive posts on the first rewiring structure, molding the first semiconductor die and the plurality of conductive posts on the first rewiring structure with a molding material, and forming a second rewiring structure on the molding material, wherein each of the plurality of UBM structures includes a UBM via and a UBM wiring line extending horizontally on the UBM via to horizontally electrically connect one of the plurality of rewiring vias to the UBM via. Effect of the Invention
[0010] According to the present invention, in a T-type UBM technology including a lower structure extending vertically and an upper structure extending horizontally, the upper structure, which only has a function in terms of structural aspects to solve the peeling of the UBM side, and does not have a wiring function, can be replaced with a wiring line, and the redistribution via and the UBM via can be electrically connected in the horizontal direction by this wiring line.
[0011] Therefore, at least two layers can be eliminated from the front side redistribution layer (FRDL) structure, which reduces the turn around time (TAT) required to manufacture the semiconductor package and reduces the cost of manufacturing the semiconductor package.
[0012] In addition, since the thickness of the front redistribution layer (FRDL) structure is reduced, the thickness difference between the front redistribution layer (FRDL) structure and the rear redistribution layer (BRDL) structure is reduced, and the warpage characteristics of the semiconductor package can be improved when performing room temperature or high temperature processes.
[0013] In addition, the front side redistribution line (FRDL) structure shortens the signal and power transfer paths, reducing wiring resistance and improving power integrity (PI) characteristics. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0021] A semiconductor package 100 and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor package 100 according to an embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0022] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor package 100 according to one embodiment.
[0023] 1, the semiconductor package 100 includes a front redistribution structure (first redistribution structure) 110, an external connection member 120, a first semiconductor die 130, conductive posts 150, a first molding material 160, a back redistribution structure (second redistribution structure) 170, a second semiconductor die 180, and a second molding material 161. In one embodiment, the semiconductor package 100 includes a package-on-package (PoP). In one embodiment, the semiconductor package 100 includes a Fan Out Wafer Level Package (FOWLP) or a Fan Out Panel Level Package (FOPLP).
[0024] According to the present invention, S is added after the drawing number of the configuration corresponding to the wiring path for transmitting a signal, P is added after the drawing number of the configuration corresponding to the wiring path for transmitting power, and G is added after the drawing number of the configuration corresponding to the wiring path connected to the ground. Also, in order to distinguish the wiring path for transmitting a signal, the wiring path for transmitting power, and the wiring path connected to the ground, different patterns are displayed for each wiring path. Therefore, even if the drawing number is not displayed, a configuration having the same pattern as the pattern of a configuration with S added after the drawing number indicates a wiring path for transmitting a signal, a configuration having the same pattern as the pattern of a configuration with P added after the drawing number indicates a wiring path for transmitting power, and a configuration having the same pattern as the pattern of a configuration with G added after the drawing number indicates a wiring path connected to the ground.
[0025] The front redistribution structure 110 includes a first dielectric layer 111, a UBM structure 140 within the first dielectric layer 111, a first redistribution via 114, a first redistribution line 115, a second redistribution via 116, a second redistribution line 117, a third redistribution via 118, and a first bonding pad 119. A first semiconductor die 130 and conductive posts 150 are disposed on an upper surface of the front redistribution structure 110. An external connection member 120 is disposed on a lower surface of the front redistribution structure 110.
[0026] The first dielectric layer 111 protects and insulates the UBM structure 140, the first redistribution via 114, the first redistribution line 115, the second redistribution via 116, the second redistribution line 117, and the third redistribution via 118. According to the present invention, the first dielectric layer 111 is previously shown in the manufacturing process as first dielectric layer 111A to first dielectric layer 111D having boundaries from the bottom in the order of film formation, but in the semiconductor package of the final product, the first dielectric layer 111A to first dielectric layer 111D are not distinguished from one another and are configured as an integrated first dielectric layer 111.
[0027] The UBM structure 140 includes a signal UBM structure 140S, a ground UBM structure 140G, and a power UBM structure 140P. The signal UBM structure 140S, the ground UBM structure 140G, and the power UBM structure 140P are disposed at separate positions and are electrically isolated from each other.
[0028] The UBM structure 140 includes a first region including the UBM vias 112 and a second region including the UBM wiring lines 113. The first and second regions form an integral structure without an interface. The UBM structure 140 has a T-shape when the first and second regions are combined. The first region corresponds to a lower structure extending vertically in the T-shape. The second region corresponds to an upper structure extending horizontally in the T-shape. With respect to the first region, the second region has a first portion extending in one direction and in a horizontal direction, and a second portion extending in another direction opposite to the first direction and in a horizontal direction. In one embodiment, the first and second portions have different horizontal lengths. In one embodiment, the first and second portions have the same horizontal lengths.
[0029] The first region is surrounded by a first dielectric layer 111A. The UBM via 112 is disposed between the UBM wiring line 113 and the external connection member 120. The UBM via 112 electrically connects the UBM wiring line 113 to the external connection member 120 in the vertical direction. A seed metal layer SL is located between a side surface of the UBM via 112 and the first dielectric layer 111A. For example, the seed metal layer SL contacts a side surface of the UBM via 112, and the first dielectric layer 111A contacts a side surface of the seed metal layer SL.
[0030] The second region is surrounded by the first dielectric layer 111B. The UBM wiring line 113 is disposed on the UBM via 112 and extends in the horizontal direction. The UBM wiring line 113 is disposed between the UBM via 112 and the first redistribution via 114. The UBM wiring line 113 electrically connects the first redistribution via 114 to the UBM via 112 in the horizontal direction. The UBM wiring line 113 functions as routing. The horizontal width of the UBM wiring line 113 is greater than the horizontal width of the UBM via 112. The seed metal layer SL is located between the lower surface of the UBM wiring line 113 and the first dielectric layer 111A. For example, the seed metal layer SL contacts the lower surface of the UBM wiring line 113, and the first dielectric layer 111A contacts the lower surface of the seed metal layer SL below the UBM wiring line 113. The first dielectric layer 111B also contacts the sides of the UBM wiring lines 113 and the sides of the seed metal layer SL underneath the UBM wiring lines 113.
[0031] The UBM structure 140 according to the present invention has a structural function for solving peeling of the UBM side by including a UBM via 112 corresponding to a lower structure extending vertically in a T-shape and a UBM wiring line 113 corresponding to an upper structure extending horizontally in a T-shape, and the upper structure extending horizontally in a T-shape is formed by the UBM wiring line 113, thereby providing a routing function.
[0032] As a result, according to the present invention, at least two layers of redistribution lines and vias connecting the UBM structure and the redistribution lines, which must be formed on the UBM structure because the conventional T-shaped UBM structure does not have a routing function, can be eliminated from the front redistribution structure, thereby shortening the signal and power transfer paths in the front redistribution structure, reducing wiring resistance, and improving power integrity (PI) characteristics. In one embodiment, the length of the signal and power transfer paths in the front redistribution structure 110 of the semiconductor package according to the present invention is reduced by about 2 μm to about 40 μm, compared to a semiconductor package including a conventional T-shaped UBM structure.
[0033] The first redistribution via 114 is surrounded by the first dielectric layer 111B. The first redistribution via 114 is disposed between the first redistribution line 115 and the UBM distribution line 113.

[0034] The first redistribution line 115 is surrounded by the first dielectric layer 111C. The first redistribution line 115 is disposed between the second redistribution via 116 and the first redistribution via 114. The first redistribution line 115 electrically connects the second redistribution via 116 to the first redistribution via 114 in the horizontal direction. The seed metal layer SL is located between the lower surface of the first redistribution line 115 and the first dielectric layer 111B. For example, the seed metal layer SL contacts the lower surface of the first redistribution line 115, and the first dielectric layer 111B contacts the lower surface of the seed metal layer SL below the first redistribution line 115. Also, the first dielectric layer 111C contacts the side of the first redistribution line 115 and the side of the seed metal layer SL below the first redistribution line 115.
[0035] The second redistribution via 116 is surrounded by the first dielectric layer 111C. The second redistribution via 116 is disposed between the second redistribution line 117 and the first redistribution line 115. The second redistribution via 116 electrically connects the second redistribution line 117 to the first redistribution line 115 in a vertical direction. A seed metal layer SL is located between the side surface of the second redistribution via 116 and the first dielectric layer 111C, and between the bottom surface of the second redistribution via 116 and the first redistribution line 115. For example, the seed metal layer SL contacts the side surface and bottom surface of the second redistribution via 116, and the first dielectric layer 111C contacts the side surface of the seed metal layer SL.
[0036] The second redistribution line 117 is surrounded by the first dielectric layer 111D. The second redistribution line 117 is disposed between the third redistribution via 118 and the second redistribution via 116. The second redistribution line 117 electrically connects the third redistribution via 118 to the second redistribution via 116 in the horizontal direction. A seed metal layer SL is located between the lower surface of the second redistribution line 117 and the first dielectric layer 111C. For example, the seed metal layer SL contacts the lower surface of the second redistribution line 117, and the first dielectric layer 111C contacts the lower surface of the seed metal layer SL below the second redistribution line 117. Also, the first dielectric layer 111D contacts the side of the second redistribution line 117 and the side of the seed metal layer SL below the second redistribution line 117.
[0037] The third redistribution via 118 is surrounded by the first dielectric layer 111D. The third redistribution via 118 is disposed between the first bonding pad 119 and the second redistribution line 117. The third redistribution via 118 electrically connects the first bonding pad 119 to the second redistribution line 117 in a vertical direction. A seed metal layer SL is located between the side surface of the third redistribution via 118 and the first dielectric layer 111D, and between the bottom surface of the third redistribution via 118 and the second redistribution line 117. For example, the seed metal layer SL contacts the side surface and bottom surface of the third redistribution via 118, and the first dielectric layer 111D contacts the side surface of the seed metal layer SL.
[0038] The first bonding pad 119 is surrounded by a first molding material 160. The first bonding pad 119 is disposed between the conductive post 150 and the third redistribution via 118. The first bonding pad 119 electrically connects the conductive post 150 to the third redistribution via 118 in the vertical direction. A seed metal layer SL is located between the lower surface of the first bonding pad 11 and the first dielectric layer 111D. For example, the seed metal layer SL contacts the lower surface of the first bonding pad 119, and the first dielectric layer 111D contacts the lower surface of the seed metal layer SL below the first bonding pad 119. Also, the first molding material 160 contacts the side of the first bonding pad 119 and the side of the seed metal layer SL below the first bonding pad 119.
[0039] The external connection members 120 are disposed on the bottom surface of the front redistribution structure 110. The external connection members 120 directly contact the UBM vias 112 to electrically connect the semiconductor package 100 to an external device.
[0040] In one embodiment, the top surface of the external connection members 120 is located at a higher vertical level than the bottom surface of the first dielectric layer 111A. The seed metal layer SL formed on the side surface of the UBM via 112 contacts the external connection members 120. For example, the seed metal layer SL formed on the side surface of the UBM via 112 contacts each surface of the external connection members 120 recessed from the bottom surface of the first dielectric layer 111A.
[0041] The first semiconductor die 130 is disposed on the top surface of the front redistribution structure 110. In one embodiment, the first semiconductor die 130 includes a system on chip (SOC).

The first semiconductor die 130 includes a connection member 131 and is electrically connected to the first bonding pad 119 of the front redistribution structure 110 through the connection member 131. For example, the connection member 131 contacts the first bonding pad 119 of the front redistribution structure 110. In one embodiment, the connection member 131 includes a microbump.
[0042] The conductive posts 150 are disposed on the upper surface of the front redistribution structure 110. The conductive posts 150 are disposed between the fourth redistribution vias 172 of the rear redistribution structure 170 and the first bonding pads 119. The conductive posts 150 electrically connect the fourth redistribution vias 172 of the rear redistribution structure 170 to the first bonding pads 119. For example, each conductive post 150 contacts a lower surface of the seed metal layer SL under one of the fourth redistribution vias 172 and an upper surface of a corresponding first bonding pad 119 of the first bonding pads 119.

[0043] The first molding material 160 molds the first semiconductor die 130 and the conductive posts 150 on the front redistribution structure 110. For example, the first molding material 160 surrounds the first semiconductor die 130, the conductive posts 150, and the front redistribution structure 110, and contacts the first semiconductor die 130, the conductive posts 150, and the front redistribution structure 110. The top surface of the first molding material 160 is located on the same plane as the top surfaces of the conductive posts 150. The top surfaces of the first molding material 160 and the conductive posts 150 are located at a vertical level higher than the top surface of the first semiconductor die 130. The side of the first molding material 160 is aligned with the side of the front redistribution structure 110.
