Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a chip packaging unit, and more particularly to a fan-out type wafer level packaging unit. [Background technology]
[0002] Packaging technology that is light, thin, short, small, efficient, and reliable is a trend in the development of the semiconductor industry, and among them, fan-out wafer level packaging (FOWLP) is a conventional packaging technology.
[0003] In advanced FOWLP packaging, the redistribution layer (RDL) is the most important element. Each conductive line in the RDL provides electrical extension and interconnection in the XY plane to multiple pads on the die, resulting in multiple, more dispersed pads around each die, effectively improving the design space and reliability of each conductive line. However, the most important factor in fabricating each conductive line in the RDL is how to achieve a certain degree of lightness, thinness, and compactness while providing electrical extension and interconnection in the XY plane. However, in conventional FOWLP packaging, conductive lines are formed using chemical plating or electroplating techniques. This results in relatively high material and production costs, and the conventional processes are unsuitable for environmental protection.
[0004] In addition, when using FOWLP to meet the circuit layout requirements of various applications, two or more redistribution layers are usually installed on the FOWLP and integrated through the RDL to form a multi-die type FOWLP unit. At this time, the design space requirements for each conductive line of the RDL of the FOWLP relatively increase, and the manufacturing technology for each conductive line of the RDL also becomes relatively more important.

[0025] The manufacturing method of the fan-out type wafer level packaging unit 1 includes the following steps. Step S1: Provide a carrier 10 as shown in FIG. Step S2: As shown in Fig. 2, a plurality of dies 20 separated from the same wafer or different wafers are arranged at intervals on the carrier 10. Each of the dies 20 has a first surface 21 and an opposing second surface 22, the first surface 21 of each of the dies 20 is arranged on the carrier 10, the second surface 22 of each of the dies 20 has a plurality of pads 23, and the range of the second surface 22 in the chip vertical direction is defined as a chip area 1a (see Fig. 2). Step S3: First, a step of forming a plurality of first conductive wires 50 on the second surface 22 of each die 20 by a technique of polishing and shaping conductive wires after filling the grooves with metal paste, in which a first dielectric layer 30 is disposed on the carrier 10 and the second surface 22 of each die 20, and a plurality of first grooves 31 are formed on the first dielectric layer 30 extending horizontally, so that each pad 23 of each die 20 can be exposed to the outside through each first groove 31 (see FIG. 3 ), and then a second dielectric layer 40 is disposed on the first dielectric layer 30, and a plurality of first grooves 31 are formed on the second surface 22 of each die 20 by polishing and shaping conductive wires. A plurality of second grooves 41 are formed on the layer 40 extending horizontally, and each of the second grooves 41 can be connected to a corresponding one of the first grooves 31 (see FIG. 4). Then, each of the first grooves 31 and each of the second grooves 41 is filled with a metal paste 50a, and the thickness of the metal paste 50a is made higher than the surface of the second dielectric layer 40 (see FIG. 5). Finally, the metal paste 50a that is higher than the surface of the second dielectric layer 40 is polished to make the surface of the metal paste 50a flush with the surface of the second dielectric layer 40, thereby forming a plurality of first conductive lines 50 (see FIG. 6). Step S4: First, a metal paste is filled into the grooves, and then a plurality of second conductive wires 80 are formed on the second dielectric layer 40 and the plurality of first conductive wires 50 by a conductive wire polishing and shaping technique. First, a third dielectric layer 60 is disposed on the second dielectric layer 40, and a plurality of third grooves 61 are formed on the third dielectric layer 60 so as to extend horizontally, and each of the third grooves 61 is allowed to communicate with each of the second grooves 41 (see FIG. 7 ).

Then, each of the third grooves 61 and each of the fourth grooves 71 is filled with metal paste 80a, and the thickness of the metal paste 80a is made higher than the surface of the fourth dielectric layer 70 (see Figure 9). Finally, the metal paste 80a, which is higher than the surface of the fourth dielectric layer 70, is polished to make the surface of the metal paste 80a flush with the surface of the fourth dielectric layer 70, thereby forming a plurality of second conductive wires 80 (see Figure 10). Each of the second conductive wires 80 is electrically connected to each of the first conductive wires 50 (see Figure 10). Step S5: As shown in FIG. 11, an outer protective layer 90 is disposed on the fourth dielectric layer 70. Step S6: Form a plurality of openings 91 in the outer protective layer 90, at least one of which is formed around the chip area 1a on the second surface 22 of each of the dies 20, and expose each second conductive wire 80 to the outside through each opening 91 to form a welding pad 81 in each opening 91, as shown in FIG. 11.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 14, the FOWLP unit 1 is installed on a printed circuit board (PCB) 2 using each of the solder balls 110 so as to be electrically connectable thereto.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the FOWLP unit 1 further includes at least two dies 20, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 11 . The at least two dies 20 are separated from the same wafer or different wafers, and are arranged parallel to and spaced apart on the carrier 10. Each die 20 has a first surface 21 and an opposing second surface 22. The first surface 21 of each die 20 is fixed on the carrier 10, and the second surface 22 of each die 20 has a plurality of pads 23. The area of the second surface 22 in the chip vertical direction is defined as a chip area 1a, as shown in FIG. 11 . Here, if the dies 20 are separated from the same wafer, the dies 20 have the same specifications, performance, or intended functions. Here, if the dies 20 are separated from different wafers, the dies 20 may have different specifications, performance, or intended functions, which is advantageous for expanding the variety of product applications. Furthermore, when the FOWLP unit 1 further includes at least two of the dies 20, the manufacturing method of the FOWLP unit 1 includes the above-mentioned steps S1 to S6, and only step S7 performs a dividing operation, and as shown in Figure 11, one package unit having at least two of the dies 20 is divided as a single unit to form multiple FOWLP units 1.
