Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] [CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 230,118, filed August 6, 2021, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
[0002] The present disclosure relates to device packaging substrates, methods for making same, and device packaging including same. [Background technology]
[0003] Semiconductor technology, semiconductor packaging technology, semiconductor manufacturing technology, and software technology are considered to be the four core technologies in the semiconductor industry that have enabled the rapid development of electronic products in recent years. Semiconductor technology has advanced in various areas, such as submicron-nanoscale line widths, over 10 million cells, high-speed operation, and heat dissipation, but this is often supported by complete packaging technology. Therefore, the electrical performance of semiconductors is often determined by the packaging technology and the resulting electrical connections rather than the performance of the semiconductor itself.
[0004] To distinguish different conductive layers from each other, a dielectric material may be introduced into the redistribution lines of the packaging substrate, and holes may be formed in the dielectric layer to form blind vias that connect two or more conductive layers placed one above the other.
[0005] In order to improve the adhesion between the dielectric layer and the conductive layer, a method of increasing the surface roughness of the conductive layer has been used. Summary of the Invention

[0032] In one or more embodiments, unless otherwise specified, a "fine line" refers to a line having a width of 5 μm or less, such as a line having a width of 1-4 μm or less.
[0033] One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to an electronic element packaging substrate or a device packaging substrate, and a method for manufacturing the same, that can achieve finer wiring widths, transmit signals with low resistance, and provide compact packages.
[0034] There is growing interest in utilizing high frequency power to increase the transmission speed and capacity of signals. The development of high frequency semiconductor devices inevitably increases the market demand for packaging substrates that can be used with high frequencies.
[0035] When applying high-frequency power to a package, it is difficult to use a substrate with semiconductor properties, such as a silicon substrate (this may result in power loss due to the generation of parasitic elements), and a strong skin effect occurs in the wires.
[0036] The redistribution lines may be disposed within the packaging substrate. As semiconductors and / or semiconductor packages become smaller and thinner, the size of the wires (or conductive layers, e.g., copper wires) in the packaging substrate and the spacing between them become smaller.
[0037] The rewiring is manufactured by repeating a series of steps of forming and removing an insulating layer and a conductive layer, and as a result, the rewiring may be formed in a structure in which wiring (conductive layer) is embedded in an insulating material in a predetermined pattern.
[0038] In general, sufficient adhesion to insulating materials in rewiring can be ensured by increasing the surface roughness of the conductive layer. Increasing the surface roughness increases the contact area due to the anchoring effect and improves the adhesion between the conductive layer and the insulating material. For example, the roughness of copper wires can be improved by etching the surface of the copper wires.
[0039] For typical wires with sufficiently large cross sections, the rough and irregular shape of the cross-sectional edge formed by surface roughness only slightly increases resistance and effectively improves adhesion at the interface. In contrast, for fine wires, the increase in resistance can be excessive, adversely affecting or even inhibiting current flow. Furthermore, when high frequency is applied, the effect of surface roughness on resistance becomes an important factor in determining the resistance of the rewiring.
[0040] One or more embodiments relate to an electronic device packaging substrate that substantially reduces power loss even when high frequency power is applied, employs fine wires, and avoids the use of a two-layer structure consisting of a support substrate and an interposer.
[0041] One or more embodiments are described in more detail below.
[0042] Electronic device packaging substrate
[0043] Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a substrate for an electronic device package according to one or more embodiments, Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a portion of the cross-section taken along line A-A' in Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a detailed view of region "∪" in Fig. 3 (the upper left "A." is an image of an example sample having a surface roughness Ry of 200 nm or less, and the lower left "B." is an image of a comparative example sample having an Ry of 2000 to 3000 nm). An example packaging substrate 200 will be described with reference to Figs. 2 to 4.
[0044] The packaging substrate 200 includes a glass substrate 21 in which a through hole 23 is disposed, and an upper redistribution layer 250 disposed on one surface 213 of the glass substrate.
[0045] The glass substrate 21 may be any suitable substrate for use in the semiconductor field. Non-limiting examples include, but are not limited to, borosilicate glass substrates or alkali-free glass substrates. By way of example, the glass substrate may be selected from commercially available products from Corning, Schott, AGC, or other manufacturers.
[0046] The through holes 23 are through glass vias (TGVs) that penetrate the first surface 213 and the second surface 215 of the glass substrate, and may be formed at predetermined positions on the glass substrate by a method such as etching. The through holes efficiently connect the elements provided on the first surface and the second surface while the glass substrate maintains its role of supporting the elements. This connection may be an electrical connection realized by a wire.
[0047] Optionally, it may further include a cavity (not shown) at a predetermined location, in one example, in which a passive element may be placed.
[0048] The upper redistribution layer 250 includes wires 24 having a predetermined pattern and an insulating material 22. The wires 24 may be disposed within the insulating material 22.
[0049] The upper redistribution layer 250 includes a first upper redistribution layer 253 and a second upper redistribution layer 257 disposed one above the other.
[0050] In a non-limiting example, the first upper redistribution layer 253 and the second upper redistribution layer 257 may have wires of different sizes and blind vias of different diameters, and the like.
[0051] The ratio of the thickness of the second upper redistribution layer 257 to the thickness of the first upper redistribution layer 253 may be about 0.8 to about 5, or about 1 to about 3. In this case, the redistribution layer can be manufactured more efficiently.
[0052] The first upper redistribution layer 253 includes first wires 253a having a predetermined pattern and a thickness d1u, and first blind vias 253b that connect wires disposed above and below the first blind vias 253b to each other.
[0053] The second upper redistribution layer 257 includes second wires having a predetermined pattern and a thickness d2u, and second blind vias 257b that connect the wires disposed above and below the second blind vias 257b to each other.
[0054] Portions other than the wires in the first redistribution layer 253 and the second upper redistribution layer 257 may be filled with an insulating material. In this case, the insulating materials may not be clearly distinguishable from each other in a cross section because they appear to be connected together.
[0055] In one example, the thickness d1u may be less than the thickness d2u.
[0056] In one example, the ratio of the thickness d1u to the thickness d2u may be less than or equal to about 0.7.
[0057] d1u is the width of the first upper redistribution layer 253, and d2u is the width of the second upper redistribution layer 257.
[0058] In one example, the width d1u may be smaller than the width d2u.
[0059] In one example, the first wire 253a may be a thin wire.
[0060] In one example, the width d1u may be less than about 5 μm.
[0061] In one example, the d1u may be about 1 μm to about 5 μm.
[0062] The first wire 253a may have a low surface roughness characteristic, and in particular, the surface roughness of both side surfaces and / or the top surface may be controlled to a low level.
[0063] FIG. 5A is a conceptual diagram showing a cross section of a wire having a small surface roughness, and FIG. 5B is a conceptual diagram showing a cross section of a wire having a large surface roughness.
[0064] 5A and 5B, the first wire 253a may have a surface with substantially different heights (i.e., an uneven surface). While the wire can be conceptually represented as a straight line, in practice, it may not be completely smooth or flat. In one example, the first wire shown in FIG. 5B may have a surface roughness Ry of about 2,000 nm to about 3,000 nm.
[0065] Surface roughness R parameters include Ra, Rp, Rv, and Ry depending on the measurement standard. Normally, surface roughness refers to the arithmetic mean roughness Ra. Within the reference length, the maximum valley depth from the mean line to the valley bottom line, the maximum peak height from the mean line to the peak line, and the maximum height roughness from the lowest point to the highest point are called Rv, Rp, and Ry, respectively. Ry is the sum of Rv and Rp.
[0066] The surface roughness of wires can be measured using methods other than general roughness measurement methods. While the surface roughness of wires can be easily measured using a roughness meter during their manufacture, it is practically difficult to measure the surface roughness of wires embedded in insulating materials using a roughness meter. Setting the reference length is also difficult. Therefore, for wires used in packaging substrates, the cross section is observed, and the roughness peaks and valleys along the boundary between the insulating material and the wire are determined.
[0067] The length from the peak of roughness on one side of the first wire 253a to the peak of roughness on the opposite side in the cross section of the first wire 253a is defined as w1p, and the length from the valley of roughness on one side of the first wire 253a to the valley of roughness on the opposite side in the cross section of the first wire 253a is defined as w1v (Figures 5A and 5B).
[0068] In one example, the one side and the opposite side may face each other.
[0069] The element located between the imaginary line tangent to w1p and the imaginary line tangent to w1v is an element where a peak or valley is formed on the wire surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of current flow. The movement of charge in this element does not necessarily cause current flow. Therefore, within the wire, current flows substantially along the imaginary line tangent to w1v.
[0070] As wires become finer, the proportion of the wire cross section where roughness is formed increases. As the cross-sectional area of a wire decreases with wire finerization, the surface roughness increases, reducing the area through which current can actually flow. This is a serious problem, unlike with relatively wide wires. It may be beneficial to adjust the surface roughness Ry to about 2 μm to about 3 μm to form mechanical fastening sites. For example, assume that the wire width is about 6 μm. If a surface roughness Ry of about 2 μm to about 3 μm is formed on each of the two surfaces of the wire, the width of the wire through which current can actually flow is about 0 μm to about 2 μm, excluding the areas where valleys are formed on both surfaces. This results in excessively high wire resistance.
[0071] When AC power is applied, the highest current density is observed at the skin of the wire, which corresponds to the edges when the wire is viewed in cross section. This is called the skin effect, and the skin effect increases as higher frequencies are applied.
[0072] When wires having mechanical fastening portions are used on a packaging substrate to which high frequency power is applied, the skin effect becomes large, resulting in high resistance, which can cause problems such as reduced signal transmission efficiency and durability.
[0073] Therefore, for wires, particularly thin wires, the height (size) from the peak to the valley of the roughness on both sides of the wire is an important parameter.
[0074] In one or more embodiments, the ratio of the length w1v to w1p of the first wire 253a is between about 0.8 and about 1.0. Specifically, this ratio may be between about 0.85 and about 1.0, between about 0.9 and about 1.0, or between about 0.94 and about 1.0. A wire ratio in this range allows for smoother current flow, resulting in more efficient signal transmission, especially when high-frequency power is applied.
[0075] In one or more embodiments, the characteristics of both sides may be applied equally to the upper and lower surfaces of the first wire 253a when viewed in cross section. Specifically, the length from the roughness peak on the upper surface to the roughness peak on the lower surface in the cross section of the first wire 253a is defined as w1p', and the length from the roughness valley on the upper surface to the roughness valley on the lower surface in the cross section of the first wire 253a is defined as w1v'.
[0076] The ratio of the length of w1v' to w1p' in the first wiring 253a is about 0.8 to about 1.0. Specifically, the ratio of the length of w1v' to w1p' may be about 0.85 to about 1.0, about 0.9 to about 1.0, or about 0.94 to about 1.0. When the wire ratio is in the above range, current flows more smoothly, and more efficient signal transmission is achieved, especially when high-frequency power is applied.
[0077] For reference, the underside of the measurement sample in Figure 5A is shown as having bumps (high roughness) because the surface roughness was not controlled to be smooth, but it should be understood that samples with smooth surfaces can also be manufactured.
[0078] The first wire 253a may have a surface roughness Ry1 value observed on its cross section.
[0079] In one aspect, the first wire 253a may have an Ry1 value of about 200 nm or less.
[0080] The first wire 253a may have an Ry1 value of about 200 nm or less on at least two sides.
[0081] The first wire 253a may have an Ry1 value of about 200 nm or less on all four sides.
[0082] The Ry1 value may be greater than about 0 nm and not greater than 180 nm, about 2 nm to about 150 nm, or about 5 nm to about 100 nm.
[0083] The first wire 253a may have a surface roughness Ra of Ra1 observed on its cross section.
[0084] In one aspect, the first wire 253a may have an Ra1 value of about 20 nm or less.
[0085] The first wire 253a may have an Ra1 value of about 20 nm or less on at least two sides.
[0086] The first wire 253a may have an Ra1 value of about 20 nm or less on all four sides.
[0087] The Ra1 value may be greater than about 0 nm and not greater than about 20 nm, about 1 nm to about 18 nm, or about 2 nm to about 15 nm.
[0088] Preferably, the surface of the first wire 253a is not substantially etched.
[0089] In this embodiment, the wire may be substantially smooth across its entire surface.
[0090] The surface properties of the wire may be obtained by methods such as controlling the grain size during the plating process, or without performing a surface etching step on the wire. The detailed manufacturing method will be described later.
[0091] Other wires, such as second wire 257a, may have the same surface characteristics as described for first wire 253a.
[0092] Because wires having the surface roughness characteristics described above may not have mechanical anchoring sites, unlike typical applications, a primer layer (not shown) may be formed between each wire 24 and the insulating material 22 surrounding it to ensure sufficient adhesion.
[0093] The primer layer may be a silane or polysilane layer, and may be substantially indistinguishable as a separate layer when observed under a microscope.
[0094] The insulating material 22 may include a polymer resin and inorganic particles.
[0095] The inorganic particles may include, but are not limited to, silica particles. For example, the average particle size of each inorganic particle may be 100 nm or less, or 80 nm or less. The average particle size of the inorganic particles may be 20 nm or more. A mixture of inorganic particles with different diameters may also be used.
[0096] The polymer resin may be, but is not limited to, an ultraviolet-curable epoxy resin. For example, the epoxy resin may be used in combination with a phenol-based curing agent, a cyanate ester curing agent, or a phenol ester curing agent.
[0097] The insulating material may be an uncured or semi-cured polymer resin containing inorganic particles dispersed therein. The presence of inorganic particles of various diameters in the insulating material at a predetermined ratio provides sufficient insulating effect. The insulating material has high fluidity, allowing it to penetrate into gaps and substantially prevent void formation in the redistribution layer, and is fixed by the curing of the polymer resin.
[0098] The insulating material may be Ajinomoto Build-Up Film (ABF), but is not particularly limited as long as it can form a rewiring layer.
[0099] The method for applying the insulating material includes, but is not limited to, a method in which a build-up film is placed on the wire and then pressure-sensitively laminated thereon.
[0100] The polysilane layer chemically bonds the wire surface to the insulating material. For example, if the wire contains copper, the copper chemically bonds with the silane, or oxygen on the copper surface chemically bonds with the silane (-Cu-O-Si). Therefore, even without forming a mechanically fastening site on the wire surface, sufficient adhesion can be ensured to prevent peeling or other problems even when the electronic device is operating.
[0101] The polysilane layer connects the surface of the wire with the functional group of the polymer or the surface of the wire with the surface of the inorganic particle through chemical bonds.
[0102] The adhesive strength between one of the wires 24 and the insulating material 22 may be about 200 gf or greater.
[0103] The adhesive strength between one of the wires 24 and the insulating material 22 may be between about 200 gf and about 800 gf.
[0104] The adhesive strength is a value measured when a primer is used, and may be about 2 times or more, or about 2 to about 8 times, the adhesive strength measured when the wire is directly adhered to the insulating material without using a primer.
[0105] The thermal expansion coefficient may differ depending on the type of material. When an electronic device is operated, the temperature of the package inevitably rises and falls repeatedly. This difference in thermal expansion coefficient may cause forces to act in substantially different directions at the interface between the insulating material and the conductive layer. This repeated force can cause peeling at the interface, leading to problems such as increased resistance during signal transmission and peeling.
[0106] In one or more embodiments, the wire and the insulating material may have substantially similar coefficients of thermal expansion.
[0107] The ratio of the thermal expansion coefficients of the wire 24 and the insulating material 22 may be about 0.7 to about 1.2 based on the thermal expansion coefficient of the wire 24. The ratio may be 0.8 to 1.1 based on the thermal expansion coefficient of the wire 24. The ratio may be 0.95 to 1.05 based on the thermal expansion coefficient of the wire 24. When the ratio of the thermal expansion coefficients falls within such a narrow range, the occurrence of defects in the electronic device package can be significantly reduced.
[0108] The wire 24 may have a thermal expansion coefficient at 25°C of 15 to 19 ppm / °C, or may have a thermal expansion coefficient of 16 to 18.5 ppm / °C.
[0109] The insulating material 22 may have a thermal expansion coefficient at 25°C of 1 to 30 ppm / °C.
[0110] The first wire 253a may include copper having a particulate grain.
[0111] The first wire 253a may include a copper wire.
[0112] The copper wire may be a metal containing copper having particulate grains.
[0113] The copper wire may be metallic copper or a copper-containing alloy.
[0114] The copper may have a grain size of about 40 nm or less, or from about 20 nm to about 30 nm.
[0115] If it is necessary to increase the size of the wires 24, copper foil may be used. When each wire 24 is a fine wire, it is often manufactured by electroplating.
[0116] FIG. 6A is a conceptual diagram illustrating a cross section of a wire having particle-type grains during the manufacturing process.
[0117] 6A, for copper wire, a sample having an insulating material, wire material, and a seed layer 243 is placed in an electrolyte and then plated. The seed layer may be, for example, but is not limited to, a titanium sputtered layer. The wire material 241 (e.g., copper) grows in a grain-like shape, filling voids in the insulating material. Although the grain size varies more or less, the wire material has a grain-like structure overall.
[0118] 6B is a conceptual diagram showing a cross section of a wire having columnar grains. For example, when a wire 24 is manufactured using copper foil, the structure of the wire 24 embedded in the insulating material 22 may be similar to the structure shown in FIG. 6A, except that the grains are columnar rather than particulate.
[0119] Wire with granular grain can be finer than wire with columnar grain.
[0120] The surface of the wire may be etched to form mechanical anchoring sites. Etching is performed with an acidic component. The morphology of the etched surface varies depending on the type of acid. For example, when the acid is formic acid, grain boundaries are etched, resulting in a high surface roughness.
[0121] In one or more embodiments, the wire 24, particularly the thin wire, may be manufactured by forming a primer layer in a similar manner to that described above, except that such a surface treatment is not performed. The detailed manufacturing process will be described later.
[0122] The packaging substrate 200 may further include a bottom layer 290 (FIG. 3) below the other surface 215 (FIG. 3).
[0123] The lower layer 290 may include a lower redistribution layer (not shown).
[0124] The lower redistribution layer includes lower wires (not shown) having a predetermined pattern and a predetermined thickness, and lower blind vias (not shown) connecting the wires arranged above and below each other.
[0125] The packaging substrate 200 may include an upper insulating layer disposed on an upper surface of the upper redistribution layer, and the upper insulating layer may have bumps (not shown) for transmitting signals to the device 30.
[0126] The packaging substrate 200 may include a lower insulating layer disposed below the lower layer, and the lower insulating layer may have bumps (not shown) for receiving signals from a main substrate or the like and transmitting signals from devices.
[0127] The packaging substrate 200 may further include a lid 70 (FIG. 1) disposed on the upper surface of the upper redistribution layer. The lid 70 may help dissipate heat from the device or the substrate to the outside and protect the glass substrate 21 from external impact. In addition, one side of the lid 70 may be formed with holes or recesses to which pins can be coupled. This may improve convenience when fixing the packaging substrate during or after manufacturing.
[0128] The packaging substrate 200 may include a power transfer element 35 disposed on or within the packaging substrate 200. The power transfer element may be, for example, but is not limited to, a passive element. The power transfer element may be, for example, but is not limited to, a capacitor, such as an aluminum capacitor or a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC).
[0129] The power transfer element may be disposed on an upper redistribution layer. The power transfer element may be disposed in a cavity formed in a glass substrate. The power transfer element may be disposed in a cavity formed in the upper redistribution layer.
[0130] Electronic Element Package
[0131] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an example electronic device package in accordance with one or more embodiments.
[0132] According to one or more embodiments, an electronic device package 900 includes an electronic device packaging substrate 200 and a device 30 mounted on the packaging substrate.
[0133] The description of the electronic device packaging substrate 200 is omitted since it has been described above.
[0134] The device 30 may be, for example, but is not limited to, a computing device such as a CPU or GPU, or a storage device such as a memory chip, etc. The device 30 may be arranged in parallel or stacked with one or more other devices.
[0135] The element 30 may be a high-frequency semiconductor element. When a high-frequency semiconductor element is applied in combination with a package substrate, unlike when it is applied in combination with a silicon substrate or the like, parasitic elements are substantially not generated in a high-frequency environment, and high efficiency can be achieved, and, unlike when it is applied in combination with a prepreg substrate, it is possible to realize rewiring in a compact size.
[0136] Method for manufacturing electronic device packaging substrate
[0137] In one or more embodiments, a method for manufacturing an electronic device packaging substrate having a patterned metal layer includes a first step of preparing a glass substrate 21 in which a through hole 23 is disposed, a second step of forming a second upper redistribution layer 257 on the glass substrate 21, and a third step of forming a first upper redistribution layer 253 on the second upper redistribution layer 257.
[0138] The first upper redistribution layer 253 includes first wires 253a having a predetermined pattern and a thickness d1u.
[0139] The second upper redistribution layer 257 includes second wires 257a having a predetermined pattern and a thickness d2u.
[0140] The first step includes a 1-1 step (first sub-step) of forming first wires 253a (including an example of forming at least one element) having a predetermined pattern and thickness d1u by plating, a 1-2 step (second sub-step) of treating the surfaces of the first wires 253a with a primer, and a 1-3 step (third sub-step) of filling the spaces between each of the first wires 253a with an insulating material.
[0141] A detailed description of the electronic element packaging substrate and the glass substrate, through holes, wires, etc. included therein will be omitted as they overlap with the above description.
[0142] The first wire 253a may be a copper wire that is substantially free of columnar grain copper.
[0143] The primer treatment in the first and second stages may be carried out using a silane compound or an imidazole compound.
[0144] The silane compound may be used as a silane coupling agent, or may be used after adding a functional group to the silane compound.
[0145] For example, the silane compound may have a hydrolyzable functional group such as a methoxy group and / or an ethoxy group at one end, and may have an amino group, a vinyl group, an epoxy group, a methacryloxy group, an acryloxy group, a ureido group, a mercapto group, a sulfide group, or an isocyanate group at the other end.
[0146] In one example, the compound used in the priming treatment may include imidazole, 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, or tetramethylorthosilicate.
[0147] Specifically, the primer treatment may be carried out by application and curing.
[0148] The silane compound is bonded to the surfaces of metals and insulating materials (for example, polymer compounds and inorganic particles) through a chemical reaction, and can improve the adhesive strength at the interface.
[0149] A detailed explanation of this will be omitted as it overlaps with the above.
[0150] An electronic device packaging substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, and an electronic device package including the same according to one or more embodiments may implement finer line widths and transmit signals with low resistance.
[0151] The electronic device packaging, the manufacturing method thereof, and the electronic device package including the same according to one or more embodiments can provide an electronic device package in a compact size and can be driven with high efficiency even when high frequency power is applied.
