[0012] Exemplary Package with Interconnect Dies 1 shows a cross-sectional profile view of a package 100 including metallization and high density interconnects. The package 100 may include a package on package (PoP). The package 100 is coupled to a board 108 via a plurality of solder interconnects 117. The board 108 includes at least one board dielectric layer 180 and a plurality of board interconnects 182. The board 108 may include a printed circuit board (PCB). The package 100 is coupled to the plurality of board interconnects 182 of the board 108 via a plurality of solder interconnects 117.
[0013] The package 100 includes at least one interconnect die 101, a metallization portion 102, a metallization portion 104, an integrated device 103, an integrated device 105, and an encapsulation layer 106. The metallization portion 102 includes at least one dielectric layer 120 and a plurality of metallization interconnects 122. The metallization portion 104 includes at least one dielectric layer 140 and a plurality of metallization interconnects 142. The metallization portion 104 (e.g., a second metallization portion) is configured to be coupled (e.g., electrically coupled) to the metallization portion 102 (e.g., a first metallization portion) via the at least one interconnect die 101.
[0014] The metallization portion 102 may include a redistribution portion (e.g., a first redistribution portion). The metallization portion 102 may include a first side and a second side. The first side may be a front side and the second side may be a back side. The plurality of metallization interconnects 122 may include a plurality of redistribution interconnects (e.g., a plurality of first redistribution interconnects). The metallization portion 102 may be a front metallization portion (e.g., a front redistribution portion) of the package 100. The metallization portion 102 may be a means for metallization interconnection (e.g., a means for front metallization interconnection).
[0015] The metallization portion 104 may include a redistribution portion (e.g., a second redistribution portion). The metallization portion 104 may include a first side and a second side. The first side may be a front side and the second side may be a back side. The plurality of metallization interconnects 142 may include a plurality of redistribution interconnects (e.g., a plurality of second redistribution interconnects). The metallization portion 104 may be a backside metallization portion (e.g., a backside redistribution portion) of the package 100. The metallization portion 104 may be a means for metallization interconnection (e.g., a means for backside metallization interconnection).
[0016] As discussed above, the metallization portions (e.g., 102, 104) may include redistribution portions that include redistribution interconnects (e.g., redistribution layer (RDL) interconnects). The redistribution interconnects may include portions having a U-shape or a V-shape. The terms "U-shape" and "V-shape" are interchangeable. The terms "U-shape" and "V-shape" may refer to the side profile shape of the interconnects and / or redistribution interconnects. U-shaped interconnects (e.g., U-shaped side profile interconnects) and V-shaped interconnects (e.g., V-shaped side profile interconnects) may have top and bottom portions. The bottom portion of a U-shaped interconnect (or V-shaped interconnect) may be bonded to the top portion of another U-shaped interconnect (or V-shaped interconnect).
[0017] The integrated device 103 (e.g., a first integrated device) is coupled to a first side (e.g., a front side) of the metallization portion 102 via a plurality of solder interconnects 130. There may or may not be a plurality of pillar interconnects between the integrated device 103 and the plurality of solder interconnects 130. Thus, the integrated device 103 may be coupled to the metallization portion 102 via a plurality of pillar interconnects and a plurality of solder interconnects 130. An underfill 132 may be located between the integrated device 103 and the metallization portion 102. The at least one interconnect die 101 may be coupled to the first side of the metallization portion 102 via a plurality of solder interconnects 115. As described further below, the at least one interconnect die 101 may be configured to provide high aspect ratio interconnects and / or high density interconnects for the package 100. The encapsulation layer 106 may be coupled to a first side (e.g., front side) of the metallization portion 102 and a second side (e.g., back side) of the metallization portion 104. The encapsulation layer 106 may encapsulate (e.g., partially or completely) the integrated device 103 and the at least one interconnect die 101. The encapsulation layer 106 may include a mold, a resin, and / or an epoxy. The encapsulation layer 106 may be a means for encapsulation. The encapsulation layer 106 may be provided by using a compression and transfer molding process, a sheet molding process, or a liquid molding process. The encapsulation layer 106 is located between the metallization portion 102 and the metallization portion 104. The at least one interconnect die 101 is located between the metallization portion 102 and the metallization portion 104. The integrated device 103 is located between the metallization portion 102 and the metallization portion 104. The integrated device 103 may include a front side and a back side. The front side of the integrated device 103 may face the metallization portion 102. The back side of the integrated device 103 may face the metallization portion 104. The back side of the integrated device 103 may be covered by an encapsulation layer 106. In some implementations, the back side (e.g., backside surface) of the integrated device 103 may remain exposed (e.g., not covered by the encapsulation layer 106).The at least one interconnect die 101 is located laterally of the integrated device 103. The at least one interconnect die 101 may laterally surround the integrated device 103.
[0018] At least one interconnect die 101 includes a die substrate 110 and a plurality of die interconnects 112. The die substrate 110 may include silicon. The plurality of die interconnects 112 include a pad interconnect 112a (e.g., a pad), a via interconnect 112b (e.g., a via), and a pad interconnect 112c (e.g., a pad). The pad interconnect 112a is coupled to the via interconnect 112b. The via interconnect 112b is coupled to the pad interconnect 112c. The pad interconnect 112c is coupled to a solder interconnect 115a. The solder interconnect 115a is part of the plurality of solder interconnects 115.
[0019] The plurality of metallization interconnects 142 from the metallization portion 104 may be coupled to the plurality of die interconnects 112 of at least one interconnect die 101 such that solder interconnects are not required between the interconnect die 101 and the metallization portion 104. That is, the plurality of metallization interconnects 142 may be coupled to the plurality of die interconnects 112 without requiring or using solder interconnects. Thus, the coupling between an interconnect from the plurality of metallization interconnects 142 and a die interconnect (e.g., 112a) from the plurality of die interconnects 112 may be free of solder interconnects.
[0020] At least one interconnect die 101 may include a dummy die. At least one interconnect die 101 may not include active components. At least one interconnect die 101 may not include transistors. At least one interconnect die 101 may be a means for interconnecting die.
[0021] The aspect ratio (e.g., height to width ratio, height to diameter ratio) of the interconnects between metallization portions 102 and 104 can be very high. For example, in some implementations, the die interconnects 112 can have an aspect ratio in the range of about 20:1 to 10:1. In one embodiment, die interconnects 112b can have an aspect ratio in the range of about 20:1 to 10:1. In another embodiment, the combination of die interconnects 112a, die interconnects 112b, and / or die interconnects 112c can have an aspect ratio in the range of about 20:1 to 10:1. The high aspect ratio helps provide high density interconnects when integrated devices are present between metallization portions 102 and 104. Additionally, the pitch of the interconnects between metallization portions 102 and 104 can be relatively small. For example, the multiple die interconnects 112 may have a pitch between adjacent die interconnects in the range of about 80-270 micrometers. These dimensions are possible through the use of at least one interconnect die 101, which (i) helps provide a thinner package 100 while still being able to accommodate an integrated device 103 between two metallization portions, and (ii) helps provide interconnects with a small pitch (e.g., 80-270 micrometers) within the encapsulation layer, and thus helps provide high density routing (e.g., high density interconnects) within the encapsulation layer. The pad interconnects 112c may have a diameter and / or width of about 20-90 micrometers. The pad interconnects 112b may have a height of about 50-500 micrometers. The pad interconnects 112a may have a diameter and / or width of about 20-90 micrometers. The pad interconnects 112a may have a thickness of about 5-15 micrometers. The encapsulation layer 106 may have a thickness of about 70-500 micrometers. The spacing between the surfaces of the metallization portions 102 and 104 may be equal to the thickness of the encapsulation layer 106. Note that the above dimensions are exemplary. Different implementations may have interconnects with different dimensions and / or configurations.The above example dimensions and / or values may be applicable to other packages described in this disclosure.
[0022] The integrated device 105 (e.g., a second integrated device) is coupled to a first side (e.g., a front side) of the metallization portion 104 via a plurality of solder interconnects 150. For example, the integrated device 105 may be coupled to a plurality of metallization interconnects 142 of the metallization portion 104 via a plurality of solder interconnects 150. There may or may not be a plurality of pillar interconnects between the integrated device 105 and the plurality of solder interconnects 150. The integrated device 103 may be coupled to the metallization portion 104 via a plurality of pillar interconnects and / or a plurality of solder interconnects 150. The integrated device 105 may be configured to be electrically coupled to the integrated device 103 via a plurality of solder interconnects 150, a plurality of metallization interconnects 142, at least one interconnect die 101 (a plurality of interconnects 112), a plurality of solder interconnects 115, a plurality of metallization interconnects 122, and / or a plurality of solder interconnects 130.
[0023] 2 illustrates a cross-sectional profile view of package 200 including metallization portions and high density interconnects. Package 200 is similar to package 100 of FIG. 1 and therefore includes the same or similar components as package 100. Package 200 includes at least one interconnect die 201 having a different configuration, arrangement, and / or design than at least one interconnect die 101 of FIG.
[0024] The package 200 is coupled to a board 108 via a number of solder interconnects 117. The board 108 includes at least one board dielectric layer 180 and a number of board interconnects 182. The board 108 may include a printed circuit board (PCB).
[0025] Package 200 includes at least one interconnect die 201, a metallization portion 102, a metallization portion 104, an integrated device 103, an integrated device 105, and an encapsulation layer 106. The at least one interconnect die 201 is coupled to a first side (e.g., the front side) of the metallization portion 102. The metallization portion 104 (e.g., the second metallization portion) is configured to be coupled (e.g., electrically coupled) to the metallization portion 102 (e.g., the first metallization portion) via the at least one interconnect die 201.
[0026] The at least one interconnect die 201 includes a die substrate 110 and a plurality of die interconnects 112. The die substrate 110 may include silicon. The plurality of die interconnects 112 includes via interconnects 112b (e.g., vias). In some implementations, the via interconnects 112b of FIG. 2 may have a width and / or diameter of about 100 micrometers. The via interconnects 112b are coupled to solder interconnects 115a. The solder interconnects 115a are part of a plurality of solder interconnects 115.
[0027] A plurality of metallization interconnects 142 from the metallization portion 104 may be coupled to the plurality of die interconnects 112 of the at least one interconnect die 101 such that no solder interconnects are required between the interconnect die 101 and the metallization portion 104. That is, the plurality of metallization interconnects 142 may be coupled to the plurality of die interconnects 112 without requiring or using solder interconnects. Thus, no solder interconnects may be present in the connection between the interconnects from the plurality of metallization interconnects 142 and the die interconnects (e.g., 112b) from the plurality of die interconnects 112.
[0028] The at least one interconnect die 201 may be a dummy die. The at least one interconnect die 201 may not include active components. The at least one interconnect die 201 may not include transistors. One expected difference between the at least one interconnect die 201 and the at least one interconnect die 101 is that the at least one interconnect die 201 does not include the pad interconnects 112a and 112c. One advantage of not having the pad interconnects 112a and / or the pad interconnects 112c is that the at least one interconnect die 201 may be thinner than the at least one interconnect die 101, which may help reduce the overall thickness of the package. The at least one interconnect die 201 may be a means for die interconnection.
[0029] The pitch of the interconnects between metallization portions 102 and 104 may be relatively small. For example, the plurality of die interconnects 112 of at least one interconnect die 201 may have a pitch between adjacent die interconnects in a range of approximately 150-270 micrometers. These dimensions are possible through the use of at least one interconnect die 201, which (i) helps provide a thinner package 200 while still being able to accommodate integrated devices between the metallization portions, and (ii) helps provide interconnects having a small pitch (e.g., 150-270 micrometers) within the encapsulation layer, thus helping to provide high density routing (e.g., high density interconnects) within the encapsulation layer.
[0030] The integrated device 105 may be configured to be electrically coupled to the integrated device 103 via a plurality of solder interconnects 150, a plurality of metallization interconnects 142, at least one interconnect die 201 (a plurality of interconnects 112), a plurality of solder interconnects 115, a plurality of metallization interconnects 122, and / or a plurality of solder interconnects 130.
[0031] As described further below in at least Figures 3 and 4, in some implementations, another package (e.g., a second package) may be coupled to the package described in Figures 1 and 2. Thus, for example, as described further below, a package having an interconnect die may be a package-on-package (PoP) that includes a first package and a second package on top of the first package.

The package 300 includes a package 301 and a package 302. The package 301 may be a first package and the package 302 may be a second package.

The package 300 is coupled to a plurality of board interconnects 182 of the board 108 via a plurality of solder interconnects 117.

The encapsulation layer 106 may be provided by using a compression and transfer molding process, a sheet molding process, or a liquid molding process. In some implementations, a polishing process and / or a grinding process may be performed on the encapsulation layer 106 to planarize at least a surface of the encapsulation layer 106.
[0094] Stage 4 shows a state after the metallization portion 104 is formed on the encapsulation layer 106. The metallization portion 104 may be formed such that at least one dielectric layer 140 and a plurality of metallization interconnects 142 are formed. The metallization portion 104 may be formed such that the metallization portion 104 is coupled (e.g., electrically coupled) to the metallization portion 102 through at least one interconnect die 101. The metallization portion 104 may be formed layer by layer on the encapsulation layer 106 and the interconnect die 101. The metallization portion 104 may include a first side (e.g., front side) and a second side (e.g., back side). The metallization portion 104 may be fabricated using the same and / or similar method as described in FIGS. 12A-12B. Instead of a carrier, the metallization portion 104 is fabricated and / or formed on a surface of the encapsulation layer 106 and / or a surface of the interconnect die 101. At least one interconnect die 101 may be coupled to the metallization portion 104. Because the metallization portion 104 is formed on the at least one interconnect die 101, no solder interconnects are required to couple the metallization portion 104 to the at least one interconnect die 101. Thus, a bond between an interconnect from the plurality of metallization interconnects 142 and a die interconnect (e.g., 112a) from the plurality of die interconnects 112 may be free of solder interconnects. The integrated device 103 and the at least one interconnect die 101 may be located between the metallization portion 102 and the metallization portion 104.
[0095] Stage 5, as shown in Figure 10B, illustrates the state after the carrier 1000 has been removed from the metallization portion 102. A grinding process may be used to remove the carrier 1000 from the metallization portion 102. However, other processes may be used to separate the carrier 1000 from the metallization portion 102.
[0096] Stage 6 shows the condition after the plurality of solder interconnects 117 have been bonded to the metallization portion 102. The plurality of solder interconnects 117 may be bonded to a second side (e.g., backside) of the metallization portion 102. A solder reflow process may be used to bond the plurality of solder interconnects 117 to the plurality of metallization interconnects 122 of the metallization portion 102.
[0097] Stage 7 shows the state after the integrated device 105 is bonded to the first side (e.g., front side) of the metallization portion 104. The integrated device 105 may be bonded to the metallization portion 104 via a plurality of pillar interconnects and / or a plurality of solder interconnects 150. A solder reflow process may be used to bond the integrated device (and / or passive device) to the metallization portion 104 via the plurality of solder interconnects. It should be noted that instead of the integrated device, another package, such as package 302, may be bonded to the first side (e.g., front side) of the metallization portion 104.
[0098] 1 is an exemplary flow diagram of a method for making a package with interconnected dies; In some implementations, producing a package includes several processes. Figure 11 shows an example flow diagram of a method 1100 for providing or producing a package. In some implementations, the method 1100 of Figure 11 can be used to provide or produce the package 100 described in this disclosure. However, the method 1100 can be used to provide or produce any of the packages described in this disclosure (e.g., 200, 300, 301, 302, 400, 401).
[0099] It should be noted that the method 1100 of Figure 11 may combine one or more processes to simplify and / or clarify the method for providing or making a package. In some implementations, the order of the processes may be changed or modified.
[0100] The method provides (at 1105) a metallization portion (e.g., 102). The metallization portion 102 includes at least one dielectric layer 120 and a plurality of metallization interconnects 122. The metallization portion 102 (e.g., a first metallization portion) may include a first side (e.g., a front side) and a second side (e.g., a back side). The metallization portion 102 may be fabricated using the method described in Figures 12A-12B. Step 1 of Figure 10A illustrates and describes one example of providing a metallization portion.
[0101] The method includes (at 1110) bonding an integrated device (e.g., 103) and at least one interconnect die (e.g., 101, 201) to a first side (e.g., front side) of a metallization portion 102. The integrated device 103 may be bonded to the metallization portion 102 via a plurality of pillar interconnects and / or a plurality of solder interconnects 130. A solder reflow process may be used to bond the integrated device 103 to the metallization portion 102. The at least one interconnect die 101 may be bonded to the metallization portion 102 via a plurality of solder interconnects 115. A solder reflow process may be used to bond the at least one interconnect die 101 to the metallization portion 102. Stage 2 of FIG. 10A illustrates and describes one example of bonding an integrated device and an interconnect die to a metallization portion.
[0102] The method forms (at 1115) an encapsulation layer (e.g., 106) over the metallization portion 102, the integrated device 103, and the at least one interconnect die 101. The encapsulation layer 106 may encapsulate the integrated device 103 and the at least one interconnect die 101. The encapsulation layer 106 may be bonded to the front side of the metallization portion 102. The encapsulation layer 106 may include a mold, a resin, and / or an epoxy. The encapsulation layer 106 may be a means for encapsulation. The encapsulation layer 106 may be provided by using a compression and transfer molding process, a sheet molding process, or a liquid molding process. In some implementations, a polishing process and / or a grinding process may be performed to planarize at least the surface of the encapsulation layer 106. Stage 3 of FIG. 10A illustrates and describes one example of providing an encapsulation layer.
[0103] The method forms (at 1120) a metallization portion (e.g., 104) on the encapsulation layer 106. The metallization portion 104 (e.g., a second metallization portion) may be formed such that the metallization portion 104 is configured to be coupled (e.g., electrically coupled) to a metallization portion (e.g., 102) via at least one interconnect die (e.g., 101, 201). The metallization portion 104 includes at least one dielectric layer 140 and a plurality of metallization interconnects 142. The metallization portion 104 may include a first side (e.g., a front side) and a second side (e.g., a back side). The metallization portion 104 may be fabricated using the method described in FIGS. 12A-12B. The metallization portion 104 may be coupled to at least one interconnect die 101. Metallization portion 104 may be formed such that at least one of interconnect die 101 and integrated device 103 is located between metallization portion 102 and metallization portion 104. Step 4 of Figure 10A illustrates and describes one example of forming a metallization portion over an encapsulation layer.
[0104] The method removes (at 1125) the carrier (e.g., 1000) from the metallization portion (e.g., 102). A grinding process may be used to remove the carrier 1000 from the metallization portion 102. However, other processes may be used to separate the carrier 1000 from the metallization portion 102. Step 5 of FIG. 10B illustrates and describes one example of removing the carrier.
[0105] The method bonds (at 1130) a plurality of solder interconnects (e.g., 117) to the metallization portion 102. A solder reflow process may be used to bond the plurality of solder interconnects 117 to the second surface of the metallization portion 102. Step 6 of Figure 10B illustrates and describes one example of bonding the solder interconnects to the metallization portion.
[0106] The method couples (at 1135) an integrated device (e.g., 105) and / or a package (e.g., 302) to the first side (e.g., front side) of the metallization portion 104. The integrated device 105 may be coupled to the metallization portion 104 via a plurality of pillar interconnects and a plurality of solder interconnects 150. A solder reflow process may be used to couple the integrated device(s) (and / or passive devices) to the metallization portion 104. It should be noted that in addition to or instead of the integrated device, another package, such as package 302, may be coupled to the first side (e.g., front side) of the metallization portion 104. Step 7 of FIG. 10B illustrates and describes one example of coupling an integrated device to a metallization portion.
[0107] In some implementations, several packages are made simultaneously. In such cases, the method may singulate the packages (e.g., 100, 200, 300, 301, 302, 400, 402).
[0108] Exemplary sequence for making metallization portions In some implementations, creating the metallization portion includes several processes. Figures 12A-12B show an example sequence for providing or creating the metallization portion. In some implementations, the sequence of Figures 12A-12B can be used to provide or create the metallization portion 102. However, the process of Figures 12A-12B can be used to create any of the metallization portions (e.g., 104) described in this disclosure.
[0109] 12A-12B may combine one or more steps to simplify and / or clarify the sequence for providing or creating the metallization portion. In some implementations, the order of the processes may be changed or modified. In some implementations, one or more of the processes may be interchanged or substituted without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
[0110] Stage 1 illustrates the state after preparing the carrier 1200, as shown in FIG. 12A. A seed layer 1201 and interconnects 1202 may be located on the carrier 1200. The interconnects 1202 may be located on the seed layer 1201. A plating process and an etching process may be used to form the interconnects 1202. In some implementations, the carrier 1200 may be provided with the seed layer 1201 and a metal layer that is patterned to form the interconnects 1202. The interconnects 1202 may represent at least some of the metallization interconnects from the plurality of metallization interconnects 122.
[0111] Stage 2 shows the state after dielectric layer 1220 is formed over carrier 1200, seed layer 1201, and interconnects 1202. A deposition process and / or lamination process may be used to form dielectric layer 1220. Dielectric layer 1220 may include prepreg and / or polyimide. Dielectric layer 1220 may include a photoimageable dielectric. However, different implementations may use different materials for the dielectric layer.
[0112] Stage 3 shows the state after a number of cavities 1210 have been formed in the dielectric layer 1220. The number of cavities 1210 may be formed using an etching process (eg, a photoetching process) or a laser process.
[0113] Stage 4 shows the state after interconnects 1212 are formed in and on dielectric layer 1220, including in and over multiple cavities 1210. For example, vias, pads, and / or traces may be formed. A plating process may be used to form the interconnects. Stage 4 shows that some portions of interconnects 1212 may have a U-shape or a V-shape. The terms "U-shape" and "V-shape" are interchangeable. The terms "U-shape" and "V-shape" may refer to the side profile shape of an interconnect and / or a rewiring interconnect. U-shaped interconnects (e.g., U-shaped side profile interconnects) and V-shaped interconnects (e.g., V-shaped side profile interconnects) may have a top portion and a bottom portion. The bottom portion of a U-shaped interconnect (or V-shaped interconnect) may be bonded to the top portion of another U-shaped interconnect (or V-shaped interconnect).
[0114] Stage 5 shows the state after dielectric layer 1222 is formed over dielectric layer 1220 and interconnects 1212. A deposition process and / or lamination process may be used to form dielectric layer 1222. Dielectric layer 1222 may include prepreg and / or polyimide. Dielectric layer 1222 may include a photoimageable dielectric. However, different implementations may use different materials for the dielectric layer.
[0115] 12B, stage 6 shows the state after a number of cavities 1230 have been formed in the dielectric layer 1222. The number of cavities 1230 may be formed using an etching process (e.g., a photoetching process) or a laser process.
[0116] Stage 7 shows the state after interconnects 1214 are formed in and on dielectric layer 1222, including in and over multiple cavities 1230. For example, vias, pads, and / or traces may be formed. A plating process may be used to form the interconnects. Stage 7 shows that some portions of interconnects 1214 may have a U-shape or a V-shape. The terms "U-shape" and "V-shape" are interchangeable. The terms "U-shape" and "V-shape" may refer to the side profile shape of an interconnect and / or a rewiring interconnect. U-shaped interconnects (e.g., U-shaped side profile interconnects) and V-shaped interconnects (e.g., V-shaped side profile interconnects) may have a top portion and a bottom portion. The bottom portion of a U-shaped interconnect (or V-shaped interconnect) may be bonded to the top portion of another U-shaped interconnect (or V-shaped interconnect).
[0117] Stage 8 illustrates the state after the carrier 1200 has been separated (e.g., detached, removed, ground) from the at least one dielectric layer 120 and the seed layer 1201, and a portion of the seed layer 1201 has been removed (e.g., etched away), leaving behind the at least one dielectric layer 120 and the metallization portion 102 including the plurality of metallization interconnects 122. The at least one dielectric layer 120 may represent the dielectric layer 1220 and / or the dielectric layer 1222. The plurality of metallization interconnects 122 may represent the interconnects 1202, 1212, and / or 1214. As discussed above, the plurality of metallization interconnects 122 may include the plurality of redistribution interconnects. The plurality of metallization interconnects 122 may have a thickness in the range of approximately 3-7 micrometers. For example, one or more redistribution interconnects from the plurality of metallization interconnects 122 may have a thickness in the range of approximately 3 to 7 micrometers that is less than the thickness of the interconnects from the package substrate (e.g., 304). Similar or the same dimensions may be applicable to the plurality of metallization interconnects 142 from the metallization portion 104.
[0118] Different implementations may use different processes to form the metal layer(s) and / or the interconnects. In some implementations, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, a sputtering process, a spray coating process, and / or a plating process may be used to form the metal layer(s).
[0119] 1 is an exemplary flow diagram of a method for fabricating a metallization portion; In some implementations, creating the metallization portion includes several processes. Figure 13 shows an example flow diagram of a method 1300 for providing or creating a metallization portion. In some implementations, the method 1300 of Figure 13 can be used to provide or create the metallization portion(s) of the present disclosure. For example, the method 1300 of Figure 13 can be used to create the metallization portion 102.
[0120] It should be noted that the method 1300 of Figure 13 may combine one or more processes to simplify and / or clarify the method for providing or creating the metallization portion. In some implementations, the order of the processes may be changed or modified.
[0121] The method provides (at 1305) a carrier (e.g., 1200). Different implementations can use different materials for the carrier 1200. The carrier 1200 can include a seed layer (e.g., 1201). The seed layer 1201 can include a metal (e.g., copper). The carrier can include a substrate, glass, quartz, and / or a carrier tape. Step 1 of FIG. 12A illustrates and describes one example of a carrier having a seed layer provided thereon.
[0122] The method forms and patterns (at 1310) interconnects on the carrier 1200 and the seed layer 1201. A metal layer may be patterned to form the interconnects. A plating process may be used to form the metal layer and the interconnects. In some implementations, the carrier and the seed layer may include a metal layer. The metal layer overlies the seed layer, and the metal layer may be patterned to form the interconnects (e.g., 122). Step 1 of FIG. 12A illustrates and describes one example of forming and patterning interconnects on a seed layer and a carrier.
[0123] The method forms (at 1315) a dielectric layer 1220 over the interconnects 1202, the seed layer 1201, and the carrier 1200. A deposition process and / or a lamination process may be used to form the dielectric layer 1220. The dielectric layer 1220 may include prepreg and / or polyimide. The dielectric layer 1220 may include a photoimageable dielectric. Forming the dielectric layer 1220 may also include forming a plurality of cavities (e.g., 1210) in the dielectric layer 1220. The plurality of cavities may be formed using an etching process (e.g., a photoetching process) or a laser process. Steps 2-3 of FIG. 12A illustrate and describe one example of forming a dielectric layer and cavities in the dielectric layer.
[0124] The method forms (at 1320) an interconnect in and over the dielectric layer. For example, the interconnect 1212 may be formed in and over the dielectric layer 1220. A plating process may be used to form the interconnect. Forming the interconnect may include providing a patterned metal layer over and / or in the dielectric layer. Forming the interconnect may also include forming the interconnect in a cavity in the dielectric layer. A portion of the interconnect formed may have a U-shape or a V-shape. The terms "U-shape" and "V-shape" are interchangeable. The terms "U-shape" and "V-shape" may refer to the side profile shape of the interconnect and / or redistribution interconnect. U-shaped interconnects (e.g., U-shaped side profile interconnects) and V-shaped interconnects (e.g., V-shaped side profile interconnects) may have a top portion and a bottom portion. A bottom portion of a U-shaped interconnect (or a V-shaped interconnect) may be bonded to a top portion of another U-shaped interconnect (or a V-shaped interconnect). Step 4 of Figure 12A illustrates and describes one example of forming interconnects in and on a dielectric layer.
[0125] The method forms (at 1325) a dielectric layer 1222 over the dielectric layer 1220 and the interconnects 1212. A deposition process and / or lamination process may be used to form the dielectric layer 1222. The dielectric layer 1222 may include prepreg and / or polyimide. The dielectric layer 1222 may include a photoimageable dielectric. Forming the dielectric layer 1222 may also include forming a plurality of cavities (e.g., 1230) in the dielectric layer 1222. The plurality of cavities may be formed using an etching process (e.g., a photoetching process) or a laser process. Steps 5-6 of Figures 12A-12B illustrate and describe one example of forming a dielectric layer and cavities in the dielectric layer.
[0126] The method forms (at 1330) an interconnect in and over the dielectric layer. For example, interconnect 1214 may be formed in and over dielectric layer 1222. A plating process may be used to form the interconnect. Forming the interconnect may include providing a patterned metal layer over and / or in the dielectric layer. Forming the interconnect may also include forming the interconnect in a cavity in the dielectric layer. A portion of the interconnect formed may have a U-shape or a V-shape. The terms "U-shape" and "V-shape" are interchangeable. The terms "U-shape" and "V-shape" may refer to the side profile shape of the interconnect and / or redistribution interconnect. U-shaped interconnects (e.g., U-shaped side profile interconnects) and V-shaped interconnects (e.g., V-shaped side profile interconnects) may have a top portion and a bottom portion. A bottom portion of a U-shaped interconnect (or a V-shaped interconnect) may be bonded to a top portion of another U-shaped interconnect (or a V-shaped interconnect). Step 7 of Figure 12B illustrates and describes one example of forming interconnects in and on a dielectric layer, including forming post interconnects.
[0127] The method separates (at 1335) the carrier (e.g., 1200) from the seed layer (e.g., 1201). The carrier 1200 may be removed and / or ground. The method may also remove (at 1335) a portion of the seed layer (e.g., 1201). An etching process may be used to remove the portion of the seed layer 1201. Step 8 of FIG. 12B illustrates and describes an example of carrier separation and seed layer removal.
[0128] Different implementations may use different processes to form the metal layer(s). In some implementations, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, a sputtering process, a spray coating process, and / or a plating process may be used to form the metal layer(s).
[0129] Exemplary Electronic Devices FIG. 14 illustrates various electronic devices that may be integrated with any of the aforementioned devices, integrated devices, integrated circuit (IC) packages, integrated circuit (IC) devices, semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, dies, interposers, packages, package-on-package (PoP), system in package (SiP), or system on chip (SoC). For example, a mobile phone device 1402, a laptop computer device 1404, a fixed location terminal device 1406, a wearable device 1408, or an autonomous vehicle 1410 may include a device 1400 as described herein. The device 1400 may be, for example, any of the devices and / or integrated circuit (IC) packages described herein. The devices 1402, 1404, 1406, and 1408 and the vehicle 1410 illustrated in FIG. 14 are merely examples. Other electronic devices may also be equipped with device 1400, including, but not limited to, a group of devices (e.g., electronic devices) including mobile devices, portable data units such as handheld personal communication system (PCS) units, personal digital assistants, global positioning system (GPS) enabled devices, navigation devices, set-top boxes, music players, video players, entertainment units, fixed location data units such as meter reading equipment, communication devices, smartphones, tablet computers, computers, wearable devices (e.g., watches, glasses), Internet of things (IoT) devices, servers, routers, electronic devices implemented in automated vehicles (e.g., autonomous vehicles), or any other device that stores or retrieves data or computer instructions, or any combination thereof.
[0130] One or more of the components, processes, features, and / or functions shown in Figures 1-6, 7A-7B, 8A-8B, 9, 10A-10B, 11, 12A-12B, and 13-14 may be rearranged and / or combined into a single component, process, feature, or function, or embodied in several components, processes, or functions. Additional elements, components, processes, and / or functions may also be added without departing from the present disclosure. It is also noted that Figures 1-6, 7A-7B, 8A-8B, 9, 10A-10B, 11, 12A-12B, and 13-14 in this disclosure and corresponding descriptions thereof are not limited to dies and / or ICs. In some implementations, Figures 1-6, 7A-7B, 8A-8B, 9, 10A-10B, 11, 12A-12B, and 13-14 and corresponding descriptions thereof may be used to manufacture, construct, provide, and / or produce a device and / or an integrated device. In some implementations, a device may include a die, an integrated device, an integrated passive device (IPD), a die package, an integrated circuit (IC) device, a device package, an integrated circuit (IC) package, a wafer, a semiconductor device, a package-on-package (PoP) device, a heat dissipation device, and / or an interposer.
[0131] It should be noted that the figures in this disclosure may represent actual and / or conceptual representations of various parts, components, objects, devices, packages, integrated devices, integrated circuits, and / or transistors. In some cases, the figures may not be to scale. In some cases, for purposes of clarity, not all components and / or parts may be shown. In some cases, the position, location, size, and / or shape of various parts and / or components in the figures may be exemplary. In some implementations, various components and / or parts in the figures may be optional.
[0132] The word "exemplary" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any implementation or aspect described herein as "exemplary" should not necessarily be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects of the disclosure. Likewise, the term "aspect" does not require that all aspects of the disclosure include the described feature, advantage, or mode of operation. The term "coupled" is used herein to refer to a direct or indirect coupling (e.g., mechanical coupling) between two objects. For example, if object A is in physical contact with object B, and object B is in contact with object C, object A and object C can still be considered to be coupled to each other even if they are not in direct physical contact with each other. Object A that is coupled to object B can be coupled to at least a portion of object B. The term "electrically coupled" can mean that two objects are directly or indirectly coupled together such that an electric current (e.g., signal, power, ground) can propagate between the two objects. Two objects that are electrically coupled may or may not propagate a current between the two objects. Use of the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" (and / or anything more than fourth) is arbitrary. Any of the components described may be a first component, a second component, a third component, or a fourth component. For example, a component referred to as a second component may also be a first component, a second component, a third component, or a fourth component. The terms "encapsulate," "encapsulating," and / or derivatives thereof, mean that an object may partially encapsulate or completely encapsulate another object. The terms "top" and "bottom" are arbitrary. A component located at the top may be located above a component located at the bottom. A top component may also be considered a bottom component, and vice versa.As described in this disclosure, a first component "over" a second component can mean that the first component is above or below the second component, depending on how bottom or top is arbitrarily defined. In another example, a first component can be above (e.g., above) a first surface of a second component, and a third component can be above (e.g., below) a second surface of the second component, where the second surface is opposite the first surface. It is further noted that in the context of one component being above another component, the term "over" as used in this application can be used to mean a component that is on and / or within (e.g., on the surface of or embedded within) the other component. Thus, for example, a first component present on a second component can mean (1) that the first component is present on the second component but is not in direct contact with the second component, (2) that the first component is present on the second component (e.g., on the surface of the second component), and / or (3) that the first component is present within the second component (e.g., embedded within the second component). A first component that is "in" a second component can be partially located within the second component or completely located within the second component. A value that is about X to XX can mean a value between and including X and XX. The value or values between X and XX can be discrete or continuous. The term "about 'value X'" or "approximately value X" as used in this disclosure means within 10 percent of "value X". For example, a value of about 1 or approximately 1 would mean a value in the range of 0.9 to 1.1.
[0133] In some implementations, an interconnect is an element or component of a device or package that enables or facilitates an electrical connection between two points, elements, and / or components. In some implementations, an interconnect may include a trace (e.g., a trace interconnect), a via (e.g., a via interconnect), a pad (e.g., a pad interconnect), a pillar, a metallization layer, a redistribution layer, and / or an under bump metallization (UBM) layer / interconnect. In some implementations, an interconnect may include a conductive material that may be configured to provide an electrical path for a signal (e.g., a data signal), ground, and / or power. An interconnect may include two or more elements or components. An interconnect may be defined by one or more interconnects. An interconnect may include one or more metal layers. An interconnect may be part of a circuit. Different implementations may use different processes and / or sequences to form an interconnect. In some implementations, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, a sputtering process, a spray coating, and / or a plating process may be used to form the interconnects.
[0134] It should also be noted that various disclosures contained herein may be described as a process, which is depicted as a flowchart, a flow diagram, a structure diagram, or a block diagram. Although a flowchart may describe operations as a sequential process, many of the operations may be performed in parallel or simultaneously. Additionally, the order of operations may be rearranged.
