Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This case relates to an advanced packaging technology, and in particular to a semiconductor device and semiconductor structure that can improve transmission speed, heat dissipation performance and power supply stability. Prior Technology
[0002] In the current common upper and lower layer packaging structures, the upper layer packaging structure usually adopts the wire-bonding process, while the lower layer packaging structure adopts the flip chip process.
[0003] However, this structure has the following technical drawbacks. First, the wire bonding process used in the upper packaging structure limits high-speed signal transmission, hindering the achievement of higher data transmission speeds in this upper and lower packaging structure. Second, due to the characteristics of the molding process, the upper die cannot effectively dissipate heat, potentially causing overheating problems and affecting its stability and performance. Third, the substrate design and materials limit the heat dissipation efficiency of the lower die, causing heat accumulation and affecting its performance and stability. Finally, because the power stabilizing components (such as voltage regulators) in the lower packaging structure are usually placed on the outside of the substrate, the power supply path is longer, leading to decreased power output stability and an inability to effectively support stable and efficient operation.

[0015] Figure 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of one embodiment of a semiconductor device 10. Referring to Figure 1, the semiconductor device 10 includes a substrate 11, a plurality of bumps 12, and a wafer 13. The substrate 11 has an upper surface and a lower surface. The substrate 11 includes a plurality of lower contacts 111, a plurality of upper contacts 112, a first wiring layer 113, a second wiring layer 114, a plurality of first conductive vias 115, a plurality of second conductive vias 116, a plurality of third conductive vias 117, a metal heat sink unit 118, a recess 119, and a voltage regulator 120. The plurality of lower contacts 111 are disposed on the lower surface. The plurality of upper contacts 112 are disposed on the upper surface. The first wiring layer 113 is disposed between the upper surface and the lower surface. The second wiring layer 114 is disposed between the upper surface and the lower surface and is located on the first wiring layer 113. The first wiring layer 113 is electrically connected to the plurality of lower contacts 111 via the plurality of first conductive vias 115. The second wiring layer 114 is electrically connected to the first wiring layer 113 via a plurality of second conductive vias 116. A plurality of upper contacts 112 are electrically connected to the second wiring layer 114 via a plurality of third conductive vias 117. A metal heat sink unit 118 is disposed between the first wiring layer 113 and the second wiring layer 114. A recess 119 is disposed on one side of the substrate 11. A portion of the first wiring layer 113 is exposed at the bottom of the recess 119. A voltage regulator 120 is disposed in the recess 119 and electrically connected to the first wiring layer 113. Each bump 12 is electrically connected to each upper contact 112. A plurality of chip contacts 14 are disposed on the active surface of the chip 13. Each chip contact 14 is electrically connected to each bump 12.
[0016] In some embodiments, each upper contact 112 is directly soldered to each bump 12 in a vertical direction, but this embodiment is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the upper contact 112 may be, but is not limited to, a solder ball. In some embodiments, the lower contact 111 may be, but is not limited to, being electroplated on the lower surface of the substrate 11. In some embodiments, the upper contact 112 may be, but is not limited to, being electroplated on the upper surface of the substrate 11. In some embodiments, the material of the lower contact 111 and the upper contact 112 may be, but is not limited to, copper, aluminum, or tin. In some embodiments, each lower contact 111 is the same size. In some embodiments, each upper contact 112 is the same size.
[0017] In some embodiments, bump 12 may be, but is not limited to, a solder ball or a copper pillar. In some embodiments, each bump 12 may be electrically connected to each chip contact 14 by means of balling, solder paste printing, or electroplating. In some embodiments, each bump 12 may be eutectic bonded to each upper contact 112. In some embodiments, each bump 12 is the same size. In some embodiments, multiple bumps 12 are used to transmit high-speed signals, but this invention is not limited thereto, and multiple bumps 12 may also be used to transmit low-speed signals.
[0018] In some embodiments, the metal heat dissipation unit 118 may be, but is not limited to, a large bar via. In some embodiments, the material of the metal heat dissipation unit 118 may be, but is not limited to, copper. In some embodiments, the position of the metal heat dissipation unit 118 corresponds to the wafer 13. In some embodiments, the projected area of the wafer 13 in the projection direction Z covers the projected area of the metal heat dissipation unit 118 in the projection direction Z. In other words, in some embodiments, the projected area of the metal heat dissipation unit 118 is completely within the projected area of the wafer 13, or the two completely overlap. That is, from the projection direction Z, the wafer 13 is larger than or at least equal in size to the metal heat dissipation unit 118. In some embodiments, the metal heat dissipation unit 118 is disposed directly below the wafer 13.
[0019] In some embodiments, since the metal heat dissipation unit 118 is a large through-hole filled with copper or other highly thermally conductive material, the larger diameter of the metal heat dissipation unit 118 can provide higher thermal conductivity compared to ordinary through-holes. Therefore, in some embodiments, the substrate 11 has a highly efficient heat conduction path in the projection direction Z. The heat generated inside the substrate 11 and the wafer 13 can be quickly and effectively guided to the outer layer of the semiconductor device 10 through this heat conduction path, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the semiconductor device 10. That is, in some embodiments, through the provision of the metal heat dissipation unit 118, the semiconductor device 10 can avoid overheating, and the performance and stability of the wafer 13 will not be affected by heat accumulation.
[0020] In some embodiments, the first conductive via 115, the second conductive via 116, and the third conductive via 117 may be made of, but are not limited to, copper.
[0021] In some embodiments, the plurality of lower contacts 111 are electrically connected to a plurality of solder balls 15. In some embodiments, the plurality of lower contacts 111 are electrically connected to an external circuit (not shown) via the plurality of solder balls 15.
[0022] In some embodiments, the voltage regulator 120 is electrically connected to the first wiring layer 113 through a plurality of voltage regulator contacts 121. In some embodiments, the voltage regulator contacts 121 may be, but are not limited to, electroplated on the upper surface of the first wiring layer 113.
[0023] In some embodiments, since the recess 119 is disposed within the substrate 11 rather than outside the substrate 11, and the voltage regulator 120 is disposed within the recess 119, the voltage regulator 120 can be closer to the core components requiring stable power supply (such as the chip 13). The shorter power supply path reduces current transmission losses and impedance, thereby achieving a more stable voltage output. Furthermore, due to the shortened power supply path, power transmission losses are also reduced, resulting in a lower overall power consumption of the semiconductor device 10. In addition, the shorter power supply path also shortens signal transmission time, contributing to improved efficiency of the internal components of the semiconductor device 10. That is, in some embodiments, by providing the recess 119 within the substrate 11 and disposing of the voltage regulator 120 within the recess 119, the power supply path of the semiconductor device 10 is shortened, thereby improving the power output stability of the semiconductor device 10, and reducing the power consumption and latency of the semiconductor device 10, thus improving the performance of the semiconductor device 10.

A molding layer 27 encapsulates the first chip 22, the second chip 23, and the metal heat sink 26, and exposes the horizontal portion 261 of the metal heat sink 26.
[0025] In some embodiments, the lower contact 211 may be, but is not limited to, electroplated onto the lower surface of the substrate 11. In some embodiments, the upper contact 212 may be, but is not limited to, electroplated onto the upper surface of the substrate 21.

In some embodiments, the size of each lower contact 211 is the same. In some embodiments, the size of each upper contact 212 is the same.
[0026] In some embodiments, the active surface of the first chip 22 is provided with a plurality of first chip contacts, and the active surface of the first chip 22 is electrically connected to a plurality of first metal connection posts 24 through the plurality of first chip contacts, so as to be electrically connected to a plurality of first contacts 2121 via the plurality of first metal connection posts 24. In some embodiments, the active surface of the second chip 23 is provided with a plurality of second chip contacts, and the active surface of the second chip 23 is electrically connected to a plurality of second metal connection posts 25 through the plurality of second chip contacts, so as to be electrically connected to a plurality of second contacts 2122 via the plurality of second metal connection posts 25. In some embodiments, solder paste is coated on the active surface of the first chip 22, and the active surface of the first chip 22 is electrically connected to a plurality of first metal connection posts 24 through the solder paste coated thereon, so as to be electrically connected to a plurality of first contacts 2121 via the plurality of first metal connection posts 24. In some embodiments, solder paste is applied to the active surface of the second chip 23, and the active surface of the second chip 23 is electrically connected to a plurality of second metal connection posts 25 through the solder paste applied thereon, so as to be electrically connected to a plurality of second contacts 2122 via the plurality of second metal connection posts 25.
[0027] In some embodiments, the second chip 23 is disposed on the back side of the first chip 22 in a thermally contact manner. In some embodiments, the second chip 23 is disposed on the back side of the first chip 22 in direct contact with the first chip 22. In some embodiments, a highly thermally conductive adhesive layer is provided between the second chip 23 and the first chip 22. The second chip 23 is disposed on the back side of the first chip 22 via the highly thermally conductive adhesive layer disposed between the second chip 23 and the first chip 22.
[0028] In some embodiments, the horizontal portion 261 directly contacts the back surface of the second wafer 23. In some embodiments, a highly thermally conductive adhesive layer is provided between the horizontal portion 261 and the back surface of the second wafer 23. The second wafer 23 is attached to the back surface of the second wafer 23 via the highly thermally conductive adhesive layer disposed between the horizontal portion 261 and the back surface of the second wafer 23.
[0029] In some embodiments, the molding layer 27 includes a polishing process during its formation. In some embodiments, the material of the molding layer 27 above the horizontal portion 261 of the metal heat sink 26 has been removed during the polishing process, thereby exposing the horizontal portion 261 of the metal heat sink 26 after the molding layer 27 is completed.
[0030] In some embodiments, the first metal connecting post 24 and the second metal connecting post 25 may be made of, but are not limited to, copper, gold, or a mixture of metals. In some embodiments, the height of the first metal connecting post 24 may be dynamically adjusted according to the desired distance between the first wafer 22 and the substrate 21. In some embodiments, the height of the second metal connecting post 25 may be dynamically adjusted according to the desired distance between the second wafer 23 and the substrate 21. In some embodiments, the width of each first metal connecting post 24 may be dynamically adjusted according to user needs, and the widths of each first metal connecting post 24 may be different. In some embodiments, the width of each second metal connecting post 25 may be dynamically adjusted according to user needs, and the widths of each second metal connecting post 25 may be different.
[0031] In some embodiments, due to the material properties of the first metal connector 24 and the second metal connector 25, they provide higher conductivity than conventional wire bonding, effectively reducing power loss. Furthermore, the first metal connector 24 and the second metal connector 25 have excellent thermal conductivity, rapidly dissipating the heat generated during the operation of the first wafer 22 and the second wafer 23, helping to prevent performance degradation or damage to the first wafer 22 and the second wafer 23 due to overheating. In addition, the first metal connector 24 and the second metal connector 25 can directly connect different components, resulting in a shorter electrical path compared to conventional wire bonding, thereby significantly reducing resistance and signal delay, and improving the semiconductor device 20's ability to support high-speed signals. That is, in some embodiments, through the arrangement of the first metal connector 24 and the second metal connector 25, the semiconductor device 20 can support high-speed signals, and the heat dissipation capacity of the semiconductor device 20 is also significantly improved.
[0032] In some embodiments, the metal heat sink 26 may be made of, but is not limited to, copper, gold, or a mixture of metals.
[0033] In some embodiments, since the horizontal portion 261 of the metal heat sink 26 is in thermal contact with the back surface of the second chip 23, and the horizontal portion 261 of the metal heat sink 26 is exposed, the metal heat sink 26 can quickly absorb the heat generated by the first chip 22 and the second chip 23 during operation and quickly transfer the heat to the outside through its exposed horizontal portion 261, preventing the performance degradation or damage of the first chip 22 and the second chip 23 due to overheating. Furthermore, since the metal heat sink 26 is made of conductive metal, it can be considered a metal shield for the first chip 22 and the second chip 23, thus providing electromagnetic shielding for them and effectively shielding against electromagnetic interference between them, reducing signal noise between them. That is, in some embodiments, the heat dissipation capacity of the semiconductor device 20 is significantly improved through the provision of the metal heat sink 26, and the metal heat sink 26 can also provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for the first chip 22 and the second chip 23.

[0037] In some embodiments, the material of the third metal connecting post 30 may be, but is not limited to, copper, gold, or a mixture of metals. In some embodiments, the height of the third metal connecting post 30 may be dynamically adjusted according to the desired distance between the semiconductor device 10 and the semiconductor device 20.
