Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to semiconductor devices. [Background technology]

[0002] As electronic devices have become smaller in recent years, semiconductor devices used in those electronic devices have also become smaller. In response to this trend, so-called fan-out semiconductor devices have become known. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element having multiple electrodes, an insulating layer in contact with the semiconductor element, multiple wirings disposed on the insulating layer and connected to the multiple 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 multiple wirings include portions located outward from the semiconductor element. This has the advantage of allowing for miniaturization of the semiconductor device while also being able to flexibly accommodate the shape of the wiring pattern of the wiring board on which the semiconductor device is mounted.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses an example of a method for manufacturing a fan-out type semiconductor device. The manufacturing method includes the steps of embedding a semiconductor element having multiple electrodes in an encapsulating resin (a cured body in Patent Document 1), forming an insulating layer (a buffer coating film in Patent Document 1) that contacts both the semiconductor element and the encapsulating resin, and forming multiple wirings connected to the multiple electrodes. In the step of embedding the semiconductor element in the encapsulating resin, the multiple electrodes are exposed from the encapsulating resin. In the step of forming the insulating layer, multiple openings are formed in the insulating layer by photolithography patterning using a mask so that the multiple electrodes are exposed. In the step of forming the multiple wirings, a plating layer is formed in the multiple openings in the insulating layer and on the insulating layer.

[0004] During the process of embedding a semiconductor element in a sealing resin, the sealing resin hardens and shrinks, causing displacement of the semiconductor element. If multiple openings are formed in the insulating layer in this state, misalignment occurs between the multiple openings and the multiple electrodes. If multiple wirings are formed in this case, misalignment occurs at the junctions between the multiple electrodes and the multiple wirings. Therefore, it is desirable to suppress this misalignment in order to further improve the reliability of semiconductor devices. [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. For ease of understanding, FIG. 1 shows the sealing resin 41 in a see-through manner. For ease of understanding, FIG. 2 shows the semiconductor element 30 in a see-through manner compared to FIG. 1. For ease of understanding, FIG. 4 shows the protective layer 42 and the plurality of terminals 50 in a see-through manner. Note that the outline of the semiconductor element 30 in FIG. 2 is shown by an imaginary line (double-dashed 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 also apply to the description of the semiconductor devices A20 to A40 described later.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 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 part of the multiple 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 multiple 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 multiple end surfaces 11C are connected to both the first surface 11A and the second surface 11B. Each of the multiple 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 111 that are 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] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the multiple first wirings 21 are disposed in the first insulating layer 11. The multiple first wirings 21 form conductive paths for supplying power to the semiconductor element 30 and for inputting and outputting signals. Each of the multiple first wirings 21 has a first embedded portion 211 and a first rewiring portion 212. At least a portion (in the semiconductor device A10, the entire portion) of the first embedded portion 211 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 of the end face of the first embedded portion 211 closest to the first surface 11A in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z is smaller than the dimension b2 of the end face of the first embedded portion 211 closest to the second surface 11B in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z. The first rewiring portions 212 are disposed on the second surface 11B of the first insulating layer 11. The first rewiring portions 212 are connected to the first embedded portions 211. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 , the first rewiring portions 212 of the multiple first wirings 21 include portions that are 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 portions thereof are embedded in the multiple first grooves 111.

[0017] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 , each of the first embedded portions 211 of the multiple first wirings 21 and the first rewiring portions 212 of the multiple first wirings 21 has an underlayer 21A and a plating layer 21B. The underlayer 21A is composed of metal elements contained in an additive contained in the first insulating layer 11. The plating layer 21B is made of a material containing, for example, copper (Cu). 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 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 in the same direction as 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 an LSI (Large Scale Integration) including, for example, a voltage control circuit such as an LDO (Low Drop Out) and an amplifier circuit such as an operational amplifier. 1, 5, and 6, the semiconductor element 30 has a plurality of electrodes 31. The plurality of electrodes 31 are provided near 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 some (all in the case of the semiconductor device A10) of the first embedded portions 211 of the plurality of first wirings 21. This allows the semiconductor element 30 to be 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, 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 plurality of first wirings 21 are covered with the protective layer 42. Protective layer 42 has electrical insulation properties. The protective layer 42 is made of a material containing, for example, polyimide. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 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. Parts of the first rewiring portions 212 of the plurality of first wirings 21 are exposed from the plurality of openings 421.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 8 , the terminals 50 are individually bonded to portions of the first rewiring portions 212 of the first wirings 21 exposed through the openings 421 in 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 contacts a portion of one of the first rewiring portions 212 of the first wirings 21. The base 51 is made of multiple metal layers, including a nickel (Ni) layer, a palladium (Pd) layer, and a gold (Au) layer, stacked in this order in a direction away from the second surface 11B of the first insulating layer 11 in the thickness direction z. Note that the palladium layer may not be included among these metal layers. The bump 52 contacts 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 method for manufacturing the semiconductor device A10 will be described with reference to Figures 11 to 18. The cross-sectional positions in Figures 11 to 18 (excluding Figures 13 and 15) are the same as the cross-sectional position in 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] Next, as shown in FIG. 11, an insulating layer 82 is formed so as to be laminated on the sealing resin 81 and cover the plurality of 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 plurality of wirings 83 (details will be described 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 FIGS. 12 to 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 rewiring portion 832. The embedded portion 831 is embedded in the wiring 83 and connected to one of the plurality of electrodes 31. The rewiring 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 portions 831 of the plurality of wirings 83 and the rewiring portions 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 the insulating layer 82. In this step, 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 of the laser irradiation is corrected as needed based on the positional information of the electrodes 31 obtained by image recognition. The grooves 822 are recessed from the surface of the insulating layer 82 and connect 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, a base layer 83A is deposited, covering the wall surfaces defining each of the holes 821 and the grooves 822, as shown in FIG. 13 . 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 base layer 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, a buried portion 831 is formed in each of the plurality of holes 821. In addition, a rewiring portion 832 is formed in each of the plurality of grooves 822. In this way, a plurality of wirings 83 is formed.

[0028] Next, as shown in FIG. 16 , a protective layer 84 is formed on the insulating layer 82, covering portions of the multiple wirings 83. The protective layer 84 has multiple openings 841 that penetrate in the thickness direction z. First, a spin coater is used to apply photosensitive polyimide to the surface of the insulating layer 82 and the surfaces of the multiple wirings 83. Next, photolithography patterning is used to form the multiple openings 841 in the photosensitive polyimide. At this time, portions of the rewiring portions 832 of the multiple wirings 83 are exposed from the multiple 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 bonded 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, a plurality of terminals 50 are formed.

[0030] 18, the sealing resin 81, insulating layer 82, and protective layer 84 are cut along 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, insulating layer 82, and protective layer 84 separated by this process correspond to the sealing resin 41, first insulating layer 11, and protective layer 42 of the semiconductor device A10. The semiconductor device A10 is manufactured through the above processes.

[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 first embedded portions 211 and first rewiring portions 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 process for forming the plurality of wirings 83 in the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device A10 includes the steps of depositing a base layer 83A on the surface of an insulating layer 82 and 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 part of the plurality of wirings 83 (the base layer 83A). The step of depositing the base layer 83A involves forming a plurality of holes 821 and a plurality of grooves 822 in the insulating layer 82 using a laser, thereby depositing the base layer 83A that covers the wall surfaces defining 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 of the semiconductor element 30 while image-recognizing the positions of the plurality of electrodes 31. As a result, even if displacement occurs in the semiconductor element 30 due to cure 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 can be formed with high precision to match the positions of the plurality of electrodes 31. 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).
