Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, as electronic devices have become smaller, semiconductor devices used in the electronic devices have become smaller. In response to this trend, so-called Fan-Out type semiconductor devices have become known. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element having a plurality of electrodes, an insulating layer in contact with the semiconductor element, a plurality of wirings arranged on the insulating layer and connected to the plurality of electrodes, and a sealing resin in contact with the insulating layer and covering a portion of the semiconductor element. When viewed in the thickness direction, the plurality of wirings include a portion located outside the semiconductor element. This has the advantage of being able to flexibly accommodate the shape of the wiring pattern of the wiring board on which the semiconductor device is mounted while miniaturizing the semiconductor device.
[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses an example of a method for manufacturing a Fan-Out type semiconductor device. The manufacturing method includes a step of embedding a semiconductor element having a plurality of electrodes in a sealing resin (a hardened body in Patent Document 1), a step of forming an insulating layer (a buffer coat film in Patent Document 1) that contacts both the semiconductor element and the sealing resin, and a step of forming a plurality of wirings connected to the plurality of electrodes. In the step of embedding the semiconductor element in the sealing resin, the plurality of electrodes are exposed from the sealing resin. In the step of forming the insulating layer, a plurality of openings are formed in the insulating layer by photolithography patterning using a mask so that the plurality of electrodes are exposed. In the step of forming the plurality of wirings, a plating layer is formed in the plurality of openings in the insulating layer and on the insulating layer.
[0004] During the process of embedding the semiconductor element in the sealing resin, the sealing resin hardens and shrinks, causing a displacement of the semiconductor element. If multiple openings are formed in the insulating layer in this state, a misalignment occurs between the multiple openings and the multiple electrodes. In this case, if multiple wirings are formed, a misalignment occurs at the joints between the multiple electrodes and the multiple wirings. Therefore, it is desirable to suppress this misalignment in order to further improve the reliability of the semiconductor device. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0012] [First embodiment] A semiconductor device A10 according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9. The semiconductor device A10 includes a first insulating layer 11, a plurality of first wirings 21, a semiconductor element 30, a sealing resin 41, a protective layer 42, and a plurality of terminals 50. The semiconductor device A10 is a Fan-Out type package that is surface-mounted on a wiring board. Here, FIG. 1 shows the sealing resin 41 in a transparent manner for ease of understanding. FIG. 2 shows the semiconductor element 30 in a transparent manner compared to FIG. 1 for ease of understanding. FIG. 4 shows the protective layer 42 and a plurality of terminals 50 in a transparent manner for ease of understanding. Note that the outline of the semiconductor element 30 in FIG. 2 is shown by an imaginary line (two-dot chain line).
[0013] In the description of the semiconductor device A10, the thickness direction of the first insulating layer 11 is referred to as the "thickness direction z." The direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z is referred to as the "first direction x." The direction perpendicular to both the thickness direction z and the first direction x is referred to as the "second direction y." As shown in FIG. 1, the outer shape of the semiconductor device A10 is rectangular when viewed in the thickness direction z. The first direction x corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the semiconductor device A10. The second direction y corresponds to the lateral direction of the semiconductor device A10. The thickness direction z, the first direction x, and the second direction y are also applied to the description of the semiconductor devices A20 to A40 described later.
[0014] As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the first insulating layer 11 faces the semiconductor element 30 in the thickness direction z. The first insulating layer 11 is made of a material containing a thermosetting synthetic resin and an additive containing a metal element that constitutes a part of the first wirings 21. The synthetic resin is, for example, an epoxy resin or a polyimide resin. The first insulating layer 11 has a first surface 11A, a second surface 11B, and a plurality of end surfaces 11C. The first surface 11A and the second surface 11B face opposite each other in the thickness direction z. The first surface 11A faces the semiconductor element 30. In the semiconductor device A10, the second surface 11B faces the wiring board when the semiconductor device A10 is mounted on the wiring board. The plurality of end surfaces 11C are connected to both the first surface 11A and the second surface 11B. Each of the plurality of end surfaces 11C faces either the first direction x or the second direction y.
[0015] As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the first insulating layer 11 has a plurality of first grooves 111. The plurality of first grooves 111 are recessed from the second surface 11B in the thickness direction z. As shown in FIG. 9, the side surface of each of the plurality of first grooves 111 is tapered in the thickness direction z from the bottom surface of the first groove 111 to the second surface 11B. In each of the plurality of first grooves 111, the dimension c1 in the first direction x of the bottom surface of the first groove 111 is equal to the dimension c2 of the first groove 111 and the second groove 112 spaced apart from each other in the first direction x. It is smaller than the dimension c2 between the two boundaries with the second surface 11B.
[0016] The first wirings 21 are arranged in the first insulating layer 11 as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. The first wirings 21 form a conductive path for supplying power to the semiconductor element 30 and inputting and outputting signals. Each of the first wirings 21 has a first embedded portion 211 and a first rewiring portion 212. At least a part of the first embedded portion 211 (all of the first embedded portion 211 in the semiconductor device A10) is embedded in the first insulating layer 11. As shown in FIG. 7, the side surface of the first embedded portion 211 is tapered in the thickness direction z from the first surface 11A to the second surface 11B of the first insulating layer 11. The dimension b1 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z of the end surface of the first embedded portion 211 closest to the first surface 11A is smaller than the dimension b2 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z of the end surface of the first embedded portion 211 closest to the second surface 11B. The first rewiring portion 212 is disposed on the second surface 11B of the first insulating layer 11. The first rewiring portion 212 is connected to the first embedded portion 211. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the first rewiring portions 212 of the multiple first wirings 21 include a portion located outward from the semiconductor element 30 when viewed in the thickness direction z. The first rewiring portions 212 of the multiple first wirings 21 are in contact with the multiple first grooves 111 of the first insulating layer 11. Therefore, the first rewiring portions 212 of the multiple first wirings 21 are configured such that a portion of each of them is embedded in the multiple first grooves 111.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, each of the first embedded portion 211 of the multiple first wirings 21 and the first rewiring portion 212 of the multiple first wirings 21 has an underlayer 21A and a plating layer 21B. The underlayer 21A is composed of a metal element contained in an additive contained in the first insulating layer 11. The plating layer 21B is made of a material containing copper (Cu), for example. The underlayer 21A of the first embedded portion 211 is in contact with the first insulating layer 11. The plating layer 21B of the first embedded portion 211 is surrounded by the underlayer 21A of the first embedded portion 211 around the thickness direction z. The underlayer 21A of the first rewiring portion 212 is in contact with any one of the multiple first grooves 111 of the first insulating layer 11. The plating layer 21B of the first rewiring portion 212 covers the underlayer 21A of the first rewiring portion 212. 9, the plating layer 21B of the first rewiring portion 212 has a recess 212A recessed in the thickness direction z. The recess 212A extends along the direction in which any one of the first rewiring portions 212 of the multiple first wirings 21 extends.
[0018] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the semiconductor element 30 is connected to a plurality of first wirings 21. The semiconductor element 30 is in contact with the first surface 11A of the first insulating layer 11. In the semiconductor device A10, the semiconductor element 30 is, for example, an LSI (Large Scale Integration) including a voltage control circuit such as an LDO (Low Drop Out) and an amplifier circuit such as an operational amplifier. In the semiconductor device A10, the semiconductor element 30 is a flip-chip type element. As shown in FIGS. 1, 5 and 6, the semiconductor element 30 has a plurality of electrodes 31. The plurality of electrodes 31 are provided in the vicinity of the first surface 11A. The plurality of electrodes 31 are electrically connected to a circuit configured in the semiconductor element 30. The plurality of electrodes 31 include, for example, aluminum (Al). The plurality of electrodes 31 are directly connected to at least a portion (all of the first embedded portions 211 in the semiconductor device A10) of the plurality of first wirings 21. As a result, the semiconductor element 30 is electrically connected to the plurality of first wirings 21.
[0019] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the sealing resin 41 covers a portion of the semiconductor element 30. The sealing resin 41 contacts the first surface 11A of the first insulating layer 11. The sealing resin 41 is made of a material containing, for example, a black epoxy resin. The sealing resin 41 has a plurality of side surfaces 411. Each of the plurality of side surfaces 411 faces either the first direction x or the second direction y. Each of the plurality of side surfaces 411 is flush with one of the plurality of end surfaces 11C of the first insulating layer 11.
[0020] 5 and 6, the protective layer 42 is in contact with the second surface 11B of the first insulating layer 11. The first rewiring portions 212 of the multiple first wirings 21 are covered with the protective layer 42. 42 has electrical insulation properties. The protective layer 42 is made of a material containing, for example, polyimide. As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 8, the protective layer 42 has a plurality of openings 421. The plurality of openings 421 penetrate the protective layer 42 in the thickness direction z. From the plurality of openings 421, a portion of the first rewiring portions 212 of the plurality of first wirings 21 is exposed.
[0021] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 8, the terminals 50 are individually bonded to parts of the first rewiring portions 212 of the first wirings 21 exposed from the openings 421 of the protective layer 42. The terminals 50 are used to mount the semiconductor device A10 on a wiring board. The terminals 50 protrude from the protective layer 42 in the thickness direction z. As shown in FIG. 8, in the example of the semiconductor device A10, each of the terminals 50 has a base 51 and a bump 52. The base 51 is in contact with any part of the first rewiring portions 212 of the first wirings 21. The base 51 is made of a plurality of metal layers, which are laminated in the order of a nickel (Ni) layer, a palladium (Pd) layer, and a gold (Au) layer, in a direction away from the second surface 11B of the first insulating layer 11 in the thickness direction z. Of these metal layers, the palladium layer may not be provided. The bump 52 is in contact with both the base 51 and the protective layer 42. The bump portion 52 includes a portion that protrudes in the thickness direction z from the protective layer 42. The bump portion 52 is made of a material containing tin (Sn).
[0022] Next, an example of a manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A10 will be described with reference to Figures 11 to 18. The cross-sectional positions of Figures 11 to 18 (excluding Figures 13 and 15) are the same as the cross-sectional position of Figure 5.
[0023] First, as shown in FIG. 10, the semiconductor element 30 is embedded in the sealing resin 81. The sealing resin 81 is made of a material containing black epoxy resin. The semiconductor element 30 has a plurality of electrodes 31 provided on either side in the thickness direction z. In this process, the material of the sealing resin 81 and the semiconductor element 30 are placed in a mold, and then compression molding is performed. As a result, the semiconductor element 30 is embedded in the sealing resin 81. At this time, the plurality of electrodes 31 are exposed from the sealing resin 81.
[0024] 11, an insulating layer 82 is formed so as to be laminated on the sealing resin 81 and cover the electrodes 31 of the semiconductor element 30. The insulating layer 82 is made of a material containing a thermosetting synthetic resin and an additive containing a metal element that constitutes part of the wirings 83 (described in detail later). The synthetic resin is, for example, an epoxy resin or a polyimide resin. The insulating layer 82 is formed by compression molding.
[0025] Next, as shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 15, a plurality of wirings 83 connected to a plurality of electrodes 31 of the semiconductor element 30 are formed. The plurality of wirings 83 correspond to a plurality of first wirings 21 of the semiconductor device A10. As shown in FIG. 14, each of the plurality of wirings 83 has an embedded portion 831 and a re-wiring portion 832. The embedded portion 831 is embedded in the wiring 83 and connected to one of the plurality of electrodes 31. The re-wiring portion 832 is disposed on the insulating layer 82 and connected to the embedded portion 831. As shown in FIG. 15, each of the embedded portion 831 of the plurality of wirings 83 and the re-wiring portion 832 of the plurality of wirings 83 has an underlayer 83A and a plating layer 83B. The process of forming the plurality of wirings 83 includes a process of depositing an underlayer 83A that covers the surface of the insulating layer 82, and a process of forming a plating layer 83B that covers the underlayer 83A.
[0026] First, as shown in FIG. 13, a base layer 83A is deposited to cover the surface of an insulating layer 82. In this process, as shown in FIG. 12, a plurality of holes 821 and a plurality of grooves 822 are formed in the insulating layer 82 by a laser. The plurality of holes 821 penetrate the insulating layer 82 in the thickness direction z. The plurality of electrodes 31 of the semiconductor element 30 are individually exposed from the plurality of holes 821. The positions of the plurality of electrodes 31 are image-recognized by an infrared camera or the like, and the plurality of electrodes 31 are individually exposed from the plurality of holes 821. The insulating layer 82 is formed by irradiating the insulating layer 82 with a laser until the electrodes 31 are exposed. The position where the laser is irradiated is corrected one by one based on the position information of the electrodes 31 obtained by image recognition. The grooves 822 are recessed from the surface of the insulating layer 82 and are connected to the holes 821. The grooves 822 are formed by irradiating the surface of the insulating layer 82 with a laser. The laser is, for example, an ultraviolet laser with a wavelength of 355 nm and a beam diameter of 17 μm. By forming the holes 821 and the grooves 822 in the insulating layer 82, as shown in FIG. 13, a base layer 83A is deposited covering the wall surfaces defining each of the holes 821 and the grooves 822. The base layer 83A is composed of a metal element contained in an additive contained in the insulating layer 82. The metal element contained in the additive is excited by the laser irradiation. As a result, a metal layer containing the metal element is deposited as the base layer 83A.
[0027] Next, as shown in Fig. 15, a plating layer 83B is formed to cover the underlayer 83A. The plating layer 83B is made of a material containing copper. The plating layer 83B is formed by electroless plating. As a result, as shown in Fig. 14, an embedded portion 831 is formed in each of the plurality of holes 821. Additionally, a rewiring portion 832 is formed in each of the plurality of grooves 822. In this manner, a plurality of wirings 83 are formed.
[0028] Next, as shown in FIG. 16, a protective layer 84 is formed so as to be laminated on the insulating layer 82 and cover a portion of the wirings 83. The protective layer 84 has a plurality of openings 841 penetrating in the thickness direction z. First, a photosensitive polyimide is applied to the surface of the insulating layer 82 and the surfaces of the wirings 83 using a spin coater. Next, the openings 841 are formed in the photosensitive polyimide by photolithography patterning. At this time, a portion of the rewiring portions 832 of the wirings 83 is exposed from the openings 841. In this manner, the protective layer 84 is formed.
[0029] Next, as shown in FIG. 17, a plurality of terminals 50 are formed, each individually joined to the rewiring portions 832 of the plurality of wirings 83 exposed from the plurality of openings 841 of the protective layer 84. First, the base portions 51 of the plurality of terminals 50 shown in FIG. 8 are formed. The base portions 51 are formed by electroless plating. Next, the bump portions 52 of the plurality of terminals 50 shown in FIG. 8 are formed. The bump portions 52 are formed by melting a conductive material containing tin, such as solder, by reflow and then solidifying it by cooling. In this manner, the plurality of terminals 50 are formed.
[0030] 18, the sealing resin 81, the insulating layer 82, and the protective layer 84 are cut along the cutting lines CL with a dicing blade or the like to separate them into a plurality of individual pieces. Each individual piece includes one semiconductor element 30 and a plurality of wirings 83 connected thereto. The sealing resin 81, the insulating layer 82, and the protective layer 84 that have been separated by this process correspond to the sealing resin 41, the first insulating layer 11, and the protective layer 42 of the semiconductor device A10. Through the above processes, the semiconductor device A10 is manufactured.
[0031] Next, the effects of the semiconductor device A10 and the method for manufacturing the semiconductor device A10 will be described.
[0032] The semiconductor device A10 includes a first insulating layer 11 having a second surface 11B, and a plurality of first wirings 21 having a first embedded portion 211 and a first rewiring portion 212. The first rewiring portions 212 of the plurality of first wirings 21 are disposed on the second surface 11B and are connected to the first embedded portions 211 of the plurality of first wirings 21 that are connected to a plurality of electrodes 31 of the semiconductor element 30. The first insulating layer 11 has a plurality of first grooves 111 recessed from the second surface 11B in the thickness direction z. The first rewiring portions 212 of the plurality of first wirings 21 are in contact with the plurality of first grooves 111. The plurality of first grooves 111 correspond to a plurality of grooves 822 formed in the insulating layer 82 by a laser in a process for forming a plurality of wirings 83 in the manufacture of the semiconductor device A10.
[0033] The step of forming the plurality of wirings 83 in the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A10 includes a step of depositing a base layer 83A on the surface of the insulating layer 82, and a step of forming a plating layer 83B covering the base layer 83A. The plurality of wirings 83 correspond to the plurality of first wirings 21 of the semiconductor device A10. The insulating layer 82 is made of a material containing a thermosetting synthetic resin and an additive containing a metal element that constitutes a part of the plurality of wirings 83 (base layer 83A). The step of depositing the base layer 83A includes forming a plurality of holes 821 and a plurality of grooves 822 in the insulating layer 82 by a laser, thereby depositing the base layer 83A that covers the wall surfaces that define each of the plurality of holes 821 and the plurality of grooves 822. The plurality of holes 821 are formed by exposing the plurality of electrodes 31 while image-recognizing the positions of the plurality of electrodes 31 of the semiconductor element 30. As a result, even if the semiconductor element 30 is displaced due to the curing shrinkage of the sealing resin 81, position correction corresponding to the displacement of the plurality of electrodes 31 is performed by image recognition during laser irradiation, so that the plurality of holes 821 exposing the plurality of electrodes 31 can be formed with high precision. That is, the plurality of wirings 83 that match the positions of the plurality of electrodes 31 can be formed with high precision. Therefore, according to the semiconductor device A10 and the manufacture of the semiconductor device A10, it is possible to suppress misalignment at the joints between the plurality of electrodes 31 of the semiconductor element 30 and the plurality of wirings 83 (the plurality of first wirings 21).
[0034] In the process of forming the plurality of wirings 83 according to the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A10, the plating layer 83B is formed by electroless plating. This makes it possible to form the plurality of wirings 83 more efficiently than in the case of electrolytic plating, since it is not necessary to deposit the base layer 83A that serves as a conductive path for forming the plating.
[0035] Each of the first rewiring portions 212 of the multiple first wirings 21 has an underlayer 21A in contact with any one of the multiple first grooves 111, and a plating layer 21B covering the underlayer 21A. The plating layer 21B has a recess 212A recessed in the thickness direction z. The recess 212A is a trace caused by forming the plating layer 83B on the underlayer 83A covering the multiple grooves 822 in the step of forming the multiple wirings 83 according to the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A10.
