Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor package and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a semiconductor package in which a heat dissipation layer is formed on the surface of a sealing layer and a method of manufacturing the same.

Background Art

[0002] Conventional methods of manufacturing semiconductor packages involve attaching a plurality of encapsulants 10A to a carrier 20, where each encapsulant 10A has a die 11 and a sealing layer 12 (see FIG. 10). Each encapsulant 10A is attached to the carrier 20 by the active surface 11a of the die 11 and the first surface 12a of the sealing layer 12, and a heat dissipation layer 13 is formed on the second surface 12b of the sealing layer 12 by a sputtering process to constitute a semiconductor package 10.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] However, in the conventional technology described above, when the heat dissipation layer 13 is formed on the second surface 12b by a sputtering process, a gap 30 is generated between the sealing layer 12 and the carrier 20 due to the physical properties of the die 11, the sealing layer 12, and the carrier 20 and / or the process environment (e.g., temperature). In the sputtering process, when scattered target atoms accumulate in the carrier 20 and the gap 30 to form metal residues 40, the metal residues 40 contaminate the die 11, affecting the quality and yield of the semiconductor package 10.

[0004] Therefore, the inventor of the present invention considered that the above-mentioned drawbacks could be improved, and as a result of intensive studies, reached the proposal of the present invention that rationally and effectively improves the problems.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a semiconductor packaging and a method for manufacturing the same. That is, when forming the heat dissipation layer, the semi-grooves provided in the sealing layer prevent metal residues from accumulating in the gap between the sealing layer and the carrier, so as not to affect the quality and yield of the semiconductor packaging.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To achieve the above object, a semiconductor packaging according to an aspect of the present invention includes a die, a sealing layer, and a heat dissipation layer. The sealing layer covers the die, and the sealing layer has a first surface, a second surface, a side surface, and a semi-groove. The semi-groove surrounds the first surface and is located between the first surface and the side surface. The semi-groove has a first edge adjacent to the first surface and a second edge adjacent to the side surface, and the heat dissipation layer covers the second surface.

[0007] Further, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor packaging according to another aspect of the present invention first attaches a plurality of package units to a third carrier. Each of the package units has a die and a sealing layer. The sealing layer covers the die, and the sealing layer has a first surface, a second surface, a side surface, and a semi-groove. The semi-groove surrounds the first surface and is located between the first surface and the side surface. The semi-groove has a first edge adjacent to the first surface and a second edge adjacent to the side surface. Each of the package units is attached to the third carrier by the first surface of the sealing layer, and the semi-groove is formed as a shielding space located between the sealing layer and the third carrier. Next, a heat dissipation layer is formed on the second surface to constitute a plurality of semiconductor packagings.

[0008] When forming the heat dissipation layer on the second surface of the sealing layer, the shielding space formed by the semi-groove portion that surrounds the first surface and is located between the first surface and the side surface prevents metal residues from accumulating in the gap between the first surface and the third carrier, thus preventing contamination of the die.

[0009] Other features of the present invention will be clarified by the description in this specification and the accompanying drawings.
