Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flip chip mounting process, and particularly to a flip chip mounting process that uses a 3D array nozzle printing device to properly control the coating range and coating amount of flux, minimize the amount of flux remaining after metal deposition, and combines the liquid material with intermittent increasing and decreasing airflow wave motion to drive the liquid material and generate friction or stirring effects, thereby improving the cleaning effect of residues, effectively simplifying the flip chip mounting process, and greatly improving production efficiency. [Background technology]
[0002] In the era of rapid technological advancement, new high-tech electronic technologies are constantly emerging, and electronic products with more human touch and better functions are constantly being developed, and are designed to be lighter, thinner, shorter, and smaller. To achieve these demands, electronic components need to meet the demands of high-speed processing, multi-function, integration, small size, light weight, and low price, and for this reason, integrated circuit packaging technology is also moving toward miniaturization and high density. In each packaging technology, flip chip package (F / C package) and other high-density stacked circuit packaging technologies that electrically connect with bumps or solder balls are becoming the mainstream of high-density packaging because they can shorten the wiring length and improve the signal transmission speed.
[0003] In general, adhesives are required for indirect bonding of materials in conventional flip chip mounting processes, and some adhesives usually have high acid content and corrosiveness in order to remove the close oxide layer formed on the bonding surface during metal bonding. However, the performance of microelectronic components is greatly affected by the corrosiveness of the adhesive. Therefore, a cleaning process must be further performed to remove the adhesive remaining on the bonding surface or the reaction residue between the adhesive and the metal oxide. Some adhesives leave some organic matter after use and leave an oily ester film on the bonding surface, and in order to avoid reliability problems for subsequent semiconductor devices, such oily esters must also be cleaned. However, when the wiring of the circuit board becomes denser, the protrusions used for bonding the circuit board become smaller, and the gap between the circuit board and the pad bonding becomes narrower, the residue becomes more difficult to clean. If the corrosive adhesive remaining on the circuit board or the bonding part is not completely removed, the reliability of the components will be greatly reduced. In addition, cleaning with cleaning solvents currently in common use has an impact on the environment if not properly handled, and improvement is required.
[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome the problems existing in the conventional flip chip mounting process, how to develop an ideal mounting process that is both practical and economical has become the goal and direction of active research and development breakthroughs of related businesses.
[0005] Therefore, based on the inventor's many years of experience in the manufacturing, development and design of related products, after detailed design and careful evaluation of the above-mentioned objectives, the inventor has been able to obtain the present invention which is indeed practical. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] In general, adhesives are required for indirect bonding of materials in conventional flip chip mounting processes, and some adhesives usually have high acid content and corrosiveness in order to remove the intimate oxide layer formed on the bonding surface during metal bonding. However, the performance of microelectronic components is greatly affected by the corrosiveness of the adhesive. Therefore, a cleaning process must be further performed to remove the adhesive or the reaction residue between the adhesive and the metal oxide remaining on the bonding surface. However, as the wiring of the circuit board becomes denser, the protrusions used for bonding the circuit board become smaller, and the gap between the circuit board and the pad bonding becomes narrower, the residue becomes more difficult to clean, and an improvement is required. [Means for solving the problem]

[0014] c. Flux is applied to the surface of each of the pads using a 3D array nozzle printing device, and the 3D array nozzle printing device can appropriately control the application range and amount of flux through program settings, thereby effectively avoiding application outside the area of each of the pads.
[0015] d. Flip and align the chip, place the active surface of the chip toward the support surface of the circuit board, and bond each of the conductive bumps to each of the pads via flux, and perform a metal welding operation to electrically and structurally connect the chip to each of the pads of the circuit board through each of the conductive bumps, manufacture a flip chip package structure, and transmit signals between the circuit board and the chip.

[0017] f. placing the flip chip package structure including the liquid material in a sealed processing chamber, and heating the processing chamber to a predetermined temperature, the predetermined temperature being between 25 and 200°C depending on the viscosity of the liquid material, to increase the fluidity of the liquid material.
[0018] g. For the gas in the processing chamber, the pressure increase / decrease device and the vacuum generator are used to intermittently generate pressure increase / decrease and vacuum, and the pressure increase / decrease and vacuum are used to generate a wave from high pressure to vacuum, with a maximum of 50 atmospheres and a minimum of 10 -5 A wavy airflow is generated that performs intermittent wavy motion in the range up to atmospheric pressure, and the wave change of the gas causes a wave change in the liquid material, which kneads and washes the liquid material that comes into contact with the substance to be cleaned by the back-and-forth friction, and the substance to be cleaned that is attached to the circuit board is more effectively separated from the circuit board, achieving an effect that was not possible with conventional solution cleaning.
[0019] The present invention provides another flip chip mounting process, which includes the following steps: a) a chip manufacturing process, in which the chip is provided with an active side surface having a plurality of conductive bumps, the conductive bumps being at least one of Sn, Ag, Cu, Au, In, Pb, Bi, Zn, Ni, or other materials suitable for welding; and b) a circuit board manufacturing process, in which the circuit board is provided with a support surface, and weld pads are respectively arranged on the support surface corresponding to each of the conductive bumps.
[0020] c.

[0024] g. By intermittently increasing and decreasing the pressure of the gas in the processing chamber using an intensifying and depressurizing device, a wavy airflow is generated that has a wave motion from high pressure to 1 atmosphere, with an intermittent wave motion ranging from a maximum of 50 atmospheres to a minimum of 1 atmosphere. The wave motion change of the gas causes a wave motion change in the liquid material, which kneads and washes the liquid material that comes into contact with the material to be cleaned by the back-and-forth friction, and the material to be cleaned that is attached to the circuit board can be more effectively separated from the circuit board, achieving an effect that was not possible with conventional solution cleaning.
[0025] In the above description, the flux used is a liquid flux, and the viscosity of the liquid flux ranges from 1 centipoise (cps) to 100 centipoise.

[0032] 1 and 4A-4F, FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a flip chip mounting process according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 4A-4F are schematic cross-sectional views of the flip chip mounting process of FIGS. 1-3. The present invention provides a flip chip mounting process, which includes the following steps: a. (Step 21a) Manufacturing a chip 310, in which an active side surface 311 is provided on the chip 310, and a plurality of conductive bumps 320 (shown in FIG. 4A) are provided on the active side surface 311, and the conductive bumps 320 are solder bumps manufactured by a general bumping process, and their components are at least one of Sn, Ag, Cu, Au, In, Pb, Bi, Pb, Ni, or other materials that are favorable for welding.
[0033] b. (Step 22a) A circuit board 330 is manufactured, in which a support surface 331 is provided on the circuit board 330, and pads 332 (shown in FIG. 4B) are disposed on the support surface 331 in correspondence with the conductive bumps 320, respectively.
[0034] c. (Step 23a) A 3D array nozzle printer 340 applies flux to the surface of each of the pads 332, and the 3D array nozzle printer 340 can appropriately control the application range and application amount of the flux through program settings, thereby effectively avoiding overflow of the flux applied to the surface of each of the pads 332. The flux is applied by predefining the coordinates of the multiple nozzles 350 and the appropriate positions and application range of each of the pads 332 on the circuit board 330, and the 3D array nozzle printer 340 depositing a flux coating layer 341 (shown in FIG. 4C) that imitates multiple 3D figures according to the design, layer by layer. Among them, the flux is a liquid flux, which removes oxides on the surfaces of the solder and the base metal to be welded, so that the welded surface reaches the required cleanliness, prevents re-oxidation of the surface during welding, reduces the surface tension of the liquid solder, and obviously improves the wetting performance.
[0035] d. (Step 24a) Flip and align the chip 310, place the active surface 311 of the chip 310 toward the support surface 331 of the circuit board 330, bond the conductive bumps 320 to the pads 332 (as shown in FIG. 4D) via flux, and perform a metal welding operation to electrically and structurally connect the chip 310 to the pads 332 on the circuit board 330 through the conductive bumps 320, manufacture a flip chip package structure 300, and transmit signals between the circuit board 330 and the chip 310. The metal welding (e.g., reflow) performed here metal-welds the aligned chip 310 and the circuit board 330, and the conductive bumps 320 and the pads 332, and couples the conductive bumps 320 in a heat-melted or semi-melted state to the pads 332 on the support surface 331 of the circuit board 330.
[0036] e. (Step 25a) A liquid material 410 is filled between the circuit board 330 and the chip 310, covering the pre-cleaned material (shown in FIG. 4E) on the circuit board.
[0037] f. (Step 26a) The flip chip package structure 300 containing the liquid material 410 is placed in a sealed processing chamber 510 (shown in FIG. 4F) and the processing chamber 510 is heated to a predetermined temperature, which is between 25°C and 200°C depending on the viscosity of the liquid material, in order to increase the fluidity of the liquid material.
[0038] g. (Step 27a) A vacuum is intermittently created in the gas within the processing chamber 510 by a vacuum generator (not shown) to generate a vacuum wave of up to 1 atmosphere or less to a minimum of 10 -5 A wavy airflow is generated that performs intermittent wavy motions in the range up to atmospheric pressure. The wavy motion of the gas vacuum suction force causes the wavy motion of the liquid material 410. In addition, the liquid material 410 present in the chip 310 and the circuit board 330 does not overflow even if the liquid material 410 generates a larger wave motion by being pulled by the capillary action between them and the surface tension of the liquid material 410, so that the liquid material 410 in contact with the material to be cleaned is rubbed and washed with friction of a larger amplitude by going back and forth, and the material to be cleaned attached to the circuit board 330 is more effectively separated from the circuit board 330, achieving an effect that cannot be achieved by conventional solution cleaning, and the liquid wave motion of the liquid material 410 is pulled by the gas wave motion, reducing the direct energy transmission and reducing the destruction of objects or spattering of the liquid material 410 caused by the wave motion being too large.
[0039] In the above configuration, the viscosity of the liquid flux ranges from 1 centipoise (cps) to 100 centipoise.
[0040] The resist may be a product of the manufacturing process.
[0041] In the above configuration, the liquid material 410 is an underfill, and hard particles are contained within the underfill. The hard particles roll back and forth according to the wave motion of the underfill, and the hard particles increase the rubbing effect of the friction, helping to wash away the material to be removed.
[0042] In the above configuration, the underfill component is an epoxy resin doped with a filler such as silicon dioxide (SiO2) powder.
[0043] 2 and 4A-4F, FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a flip chip mounting process according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4A-4F are schematic cross-sectional views of the flip chip mounting process. The present invention provides a flip chip mounting process, which includes the following steps: a. (Step 21b) fabricate a chip 310, in which an active side surface 311 is provided on the chip 310, and a plurality of conductive bumps 320 (shown in FIG. 4A) are provided on the active side surface 311, and the conductive bumps 320 are solder bumps fabricated by a general bumping process, and their components are at least one of Sn, Ag, Cu, Au, In, Pb, Bi, Pb, Ni, or other materials that are favorable for welding.
[0044] b. (Step 22b) A circuit board 330 is manufactured, in which a support surface 331 is provided on the circuit board 330, and pads 332 (shown in FIG. 4B) are disposed on the support surface 331 in correspondence with the conductive bumps 320, respectively.
[0045] c. (Step 23b) A 3D array nozzle printer 340 applies flux to the surface of each of the pads 332, and the 3D array nozzle printer 340 can appropriately control the application range and application amount of the flux through program settings, thereby effectively avoiding overflow of the flux applied to the surface of each of the pads 332. The flux is applied by predefining the coordinates of the multiple nozzles 350 and the appropriate positions and application range of each of the pads 332 on the circuit board 330, and the 3D array nozzle printer 340 depositing a flux coating layer 341 (shown in FIG. 4C) that imitates multiple 3D figures according to the design, layer by layer. Among them, the flux is a liquid flux, which removes oxides on the surfaces of the solder and the base metal to be welded, so that the welded surface reaches the required cleanliness, prevents re-oxidation of the surface during welding, reduces the surface tension of the liquid solder, and obviously improves the wetting performance.
[0046] d. (Step 24b) Flip and align the chip 310, place the active surface 311 of the chip 310 toward the support surface 331 of the circuit board 330, bond the conductive bumps 320 to the pads 332 (as shown in FIG. 4D) via flux, and perform a metal welding operation to electrically and structurally connect the chip 310 to the pads 332 on the circuit board 330 through the conductive bumps 320, manufacture the flip chip package structure 300, and transmit signals between the circuit board 330 and the chip 310. The metal welding (e.g., reflow) performed here metallizes the aligned chip 310 and the circuit board 330, and the conductive bumps 320 and the pads 332, and couples the conductive bumps 320 in a heat-melted or semi-melted state to the pads 332 on the support surface 331 of the circuit board 330.
[0047] e. (Step 25b) A liquid material 410 is filled between the circuit board 330 and the chip 310, covering the pre-cleaned material (shown in FIG. 4E) on the circuit board.
[0048] f. (Step 26b) The flip chip package structure 300 containing the liquid material 410 is placed in a sealed processing chamber 510 (shown in FIG. 4F) and the processing chamber 510 is heated to a predetermined temperature, which is between 25°C and 200°C depending on the viscosity of the liquid material, in order to increase the fluidity of the liquid material.
[0049] g. (Step 27b) By intermittently generating pressure and vacuum for the gas in the processing chamber 510 using a pressure increase / decrease device (not shown) and a vacuum generator (not shown), a high pressure to vacuum wave is generated, ranging from a maximum of 50 atmospheres to a minimum of 10 -5 A wavy airflow is generated that performs intermittent wavy motions in the range up to atmospheric pressure. The wavy motion of the gas causes the wavy motion of the liquid material 410. In addition, the liquid material 410 present in the chip 310 and the circuit board 330 does not overflow even if a larger wave motion is generated because the capillary action between them and the surface tension of the liquid material 410 attracts the liquid material 410, so the liquid material 410 in contact with the material to be cleaned is rubbed and washed by reciprocating friction, and the material to be cleaned that is attached to the circuit board 330 is more effectively separated from the circuit board 330, achieving an effect that cannot be achieved by conventional solution cleaning, and the liquid wave motion of the liquid material 410 is attracted by the gas wave motion, reducing the direct energy transmission and reducing the destruction of objects or spattering of the liquid material 410 that occurs due to the wave motion being too large.
[0050] In the above configuration, the viscosity of the liquid flux ranges from 1 centipoise (cps) to 100 centipoise.
[0051] In the above configuration, the to-be-cleaned material is a flux, a flux residue, an oil ester, a photoresist, or a product of a manufacturing process.
[0052] In the above configuration, the liquid material 410 is an underfill, and hard particles are contained within the underfill. The hard particles roll back and forth according to the wave motion of the underfill, and the hard particles increase the rubbing effect of the friction, helping to wash away the material to be removed.
[0053] In the above configuration, the underfill component is an epoxy resin doped with a filler such as silicon dioxide (SiO2) powder.

[0055] b. (Step 22c) A circuit board 330 is manufactured, in which a support surface 331 is provided on the circuit board 330, and pads 332 (shown in FIG. 4B) are disposed on the support surface 331 in correspondence with the conductive bumps 320, respectively.
[0056] c. (Step 23c) A 3D array nozzle printing device 340 applies flux to the surface of each of the pads 332, and the 3D array nozzle printing device 340 can appropriately control the application range and application amount of the flux through program settings, thereby effectively avoiding overflow of the flux applied to the surface of each of the pads 332.

[0060] g. (Step 27c) A pressure increase / decrease device (not shown) is used to intermittently increase / decrease the gas in the processing chamber 510, thereby generating a wavy airflow that performs intermittent wavy motion from high pressure to 1 atmosphere, with a maximum of 50 atmospheres and a minimum of 1 atmosphere. The wavy motion of the gas causes a wavy motion of the liquid material 410. In addition, the liquid material 410 present on the chip 310 and the circuit board 330 does not overflow even if a larger wave is generated by the capillary action between them and the surface tension of the liquid material 410, so that the liquid material 410 in contact with the material to be cleaned is rubbed and washed by reciprocating friction, and the material to be cleaned attached to the circuit board 330 is more effectively separated from the circuit board 330, achieving an effect that could not be achieved by conventional solution cleaning, and the liquid wave of the liquid material 410 is attracted by the gas wave, reducing the direct energy transmission and reducing the destruction of objects or spattering of the liquid material 410 caused by the wave being too large.
