[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China on March 29, 2024, with application number 202410383656.X and invention name "Semiconductor packaging structure, manufacturing method and electronic device", the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field
[0003] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a semiconductor packaging structure, a manufacturing method, and an electronic device. Background Art
[0004] With the development of technologies such as communications, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving, the demand for chip computing power continues to increase. A single chip cannot meet the computing power requirements of products. Currently, very super large package (VSLP) technology is being used to package multiple bare dies onto a large carrier, integrating a large amount of computing power into a single package. Currently, there are two mainstream technology approaches for VLSI packaging: the wafer scale engine (WSE). WSE interconnects dies across a wafer by adding an additional metal layer, enabling parallel computing among the interconnected dies, thereby increasing computing power. However, this approach has difficulty guaranteeing yield, carries significant process risks, and requires redundant design to prevent defects during production, which somewhat limits its integration. The second approach is system on wafer (SOW). SOW uses multi-layer redistribution layer (RDL) technology to integrate a known good die (KGD) array, power supply, and heat dissipation modules into a single package. However, this solution has high production costs and is difficult due to the large number of layers of redistribution lines, and product stability is difficult to guarantee. Summary of the Invention

[0039] In order to facilitate the understanding of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, its application scenarios are first described below. The semiconductor packaging structure provided by the embodiments of the present application can be widely used in electronic devices in various fields, and its application fields include but are not limited to: communication fields, such as 4G, 5G, and 6G communication chips; computer fields, such as central processing units (CPUs), graphics cards, etc.; embedded system fields, such as computer network equipment, medical equipment, aerospace equipment, smart homes, smart watches, smart wearable devices, etc.; automotive electronics fields, such as automatic driving, intelligent driving assistance, body electronic control, power electronic control, etc. It can be understood that the specific implementation of the electronic device can be determined according to the actual application scenario and is not limited here.
[0040] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , the electronic device includes a connector 100 and a semiconductor package structure 200. The types of connector 100 include, but are not limited to, plug-in connectors, terminal connectors, board-to-board connectors, wire-to-wire connectors, or one or more specialized connectors specifically designed for the devices or electronic devices to be connected. Connector 100 can be used to connect other devices or electronic devices to semiconductor package structure 200, forming a signal input and output channel between semiconductor package structure 200 and the outside world.
[0041] FIG2 is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor package structure provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the semiconductor package structure 200 includes an interconnect layer 1 , a plurality of semiconductor devices 2 , and at least one transfer substrate 3 .
[0042] Among them, a plurality of semiconductor devices 2 are arranged on the surface of one side of the interconnection layer 1, including a first type semiconductor device 21 and a second type semiconductor device 22. Among them, the first type semiconductor device 21 is used to process signals, for example, it can realize digital signal processing, signal conversion, data storage, clock control and other functions. In order to meet the demand for greater computing power, the semiconductor packaging structure usually includes a large number of first type semiconductor devices 21, and at least some of the first type semiconductor devices 21 in the plurality of first type semiconductor devices 21 need to be interconnected to process signals in parallel. The second type semiconductor device 22 is used to transmit signals, for example, it can realize the function of inputting and outputting signals, or it can also have the function of temporarily storing data. Exemplarily, each second type semiconductor device 22 can be connected to one or more first type semiconductor devices 21, which is not limited here.
[0043] The interconnect layer 1 includes interconnect traces, including a first interconnect trace 11 and a second interconnect trace 12. The first semiconductor device 21 and the second semiconductor device 22 are connected via the first interconnect trace 11, so that the first interconnect trace 11 can transmit signals between the first semiconductor device 21 and the second semiconductor device 22. For example, a signal processed by the first semiconductor device 21 can be transmitted to the second semiconductor device 22 via the first interconnect trace 11, and then output by the second semiconductor device 22 to other connected devices or components. Alternatively, other devices or components connected to the second semiconductor device 22 first input a signal to the second semiconductor device 22, which then transmits the signal to the first semiconductor device 21 via the first interconnect trace 11 for processing.
[0044] At least a portion of the transfer substrate 3 is located on a side of the interconnect layer 1 away from the plurality of semiconductor devices 2, and the transfer substrate 3 is provided with a transfer trace 30. Exemplarily, the transfer trace 30 can be provided inside the transfer substrate 3, or can be provided on the surface of the transfer substrate 3. Moreover, the transfer trace 30 is connected to the second type of semiconductor device 22 through the second interconnect trace 12. In some embodiments of the present application, the semiconductor packaging structure 200 further includes a plurality of first interconnect structures 41, the plurality of first interconnect structures 41 being located between the interconnect layer 1 and the transfer substrate 3, and the transfer trace 30 and the second interconnect trace 12 being connected through the first interconnect structure 41. The semiconductor packaging structure 200 may further include a plurality of second interconnect structures 42, the second interconnect structure 42 being located between the interconnect layer 1 and the semiconductor device 2, and being used to connect the semiconductor device 2 to the interconnect trace. Exemplarily, the first interconnect structure 41 and the second interconnect structure 42 include but are not limited to micro bumps.
[0045] The transfer trace 30 is also used to connect to the connector 100, so that the second interconnect trace 12 can transmit signals between the second-type semiconductor device 22 and the connector 100. The connector 100 is then connected to other external devices or electronic components. Based on this connection relationship, a signal transmission path can be established between the first-type semiconductor device 21, the second-type semiconductor device 22, and other external devices or electronic components, enabling signal input and output within the semiconductor package structure 200.
[0046] Due to the large number of semiconductor devices 2 in the packaging structure and the complex signal transmission lines, its wiring structure usually needs to include more conductive layers, which makes the packaging process more difficult. In the embodiment of the present application, a transfer substrate 3 is provided, and a transfer line 30 is provided in the transfer substrate 3 to connect with the second interconnection line 12. The transfer substrate 3 and the second interconnection line 12 constitute the input and output lines of the signal, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the second interconnection line 12 and reducing the number of layers of the second interconnection line 12, thereby reducing the process difficulty and production cost of the interconnection layer 1.
[0047] As shown in FIG2 , the semiconductor package structure 200 further includes at least one power supply module 5, which is located on a side of the interconnect layer 1 facing away from the plurality of semiconductor devices 2. The power supply module 5 is used to supply power to the first-type semiconductor device 21, enabling the first-type semiconductor device 21 to function properly. Correspondingly, the interconnect traces further include third interconnect traces 13, which are located on the first wiring layer 61 and the second wiring layer 63 and are used to connect the first-type semiconductor device 21 to the power supply module 5.
[0048] Based on the same concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor package structure 200. FIG3 is a flow chart of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor package structure provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG3 , the method for manufacturing a semiconductor package structure includes:
[0049] Step S11: forming an interconnection layer 1. For example, referring to FIG. 3( a ), the interconnection layer 1 has interconnection traces therein. The interconnection layer 1 includes a first dielectric layer N1 and a plurality of conductive layers 102 located within the first dielectric layer N1. The substrate of the first dielectric layer N1 may be, for example, polyimide (PI).
[0050] Step S12: Multiple semiconductor devices 2 are disposed on one side surface of the interconnect layer 1. For example, referring to FIG. 3( b ), a second interconnect structure 42 may be formed on the surface of the interconnect layer 1. The semiconductor devices 2 are then attached to the one side surface of the interconnect layer 1 by, for example, thermal compression bonding (TCB). A reflow process is then performed to connect the second interconnect structure 42 and the semiconductor devices 2. Thus, the second interconnect structure 42 can connect the semiconductor devices 2 to the interconnect traces.
[0051] The semiconductor device 2 in this step can be a known good die (KGD) chip with good performance after testing, so that the semiconductor device 2 used for signal processing (i.e., the first type of semiconductor device 21) does not need to be redundantly designed in the packaging structure. A larger number and type of semiconductor devices 2 can be set under the same size, thereby improving the integration of the packaging structure, and at the same time facilitating the realization of more diversified functions and improving product performance.
[0052] Step S13: Connecting the transfer substrate 3 to the surface of the interconnect layer 1 facing away from the multiple semiconductor devices 2. For example, referring to FIG3(c), multiple first interconnect structures 41 can be formed on the surface of the interconnect layer 1 facing away from the semiconductor devices 2, for example, using a TCB and reflow process. The transfer substrate 3 is connected to the interconnect layer 1 via the first interconnect structures 41. Referring to FIG3(c), in this step, multiple third interconnect structures 43 can also be formed using the above process. The third interconnect structures 43 are used to connect the power supply module 5 and the interconnect layer 1.
[0053] FIG4 is a front view of a semiconductor package structure provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG4 , when viewing the package structure from the Z1 direction perpendicular to the interconnect layer 1, the surface of the interconnect layer 1 facing the plurality of semiconductor devices 2 includes a first region Q1 and a second region Q2. The second region Q2 surrounds the first region Q1. The first-type semiconductor devices 21 are located within the first region Q1, and the second-type semiconductor devices 22 are located within the second region Q2. The second-type semiconductor devices 22 are disposed in the second region Q2, relatively closer to the edge of the semiconductor package structure 200, while the first-type semiconductor devices 21 are concentrated in the first region Q1. This facilitates interconnection between the first-type semiconductor devices 21. Furthermore, the wiring structure connecting the first-type semiconductor devices 21 can be made more regular. For example, when using photolithography to produce these wiring patterns, the photomask can be reused, reducing the number of required masks and thus reducing process difficulty and manufacturing costs.
[0054] FIG5 is a front view of another semiconductor package structure provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG2 and FIG5 , when viewing the package structure from the Z2 direction, perpendicular to the interconnect layer 1, the orthographic projection of the transfer substrate 3 overlaps with the second region Q2, or alternatively, the orthographic projection of the transfer substrate 3 falls within the second region Q2. The second-type semiconductor devices 22 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the transfer substrates 3, and the orthographic projections of the second-type semiconductor devices 22 fall within the range of the corresponding transfer substrates 3. This reduces the distance between the second-type semiconductor devices 22 and the transfer substrates 3, facilitating a reduction in the length of the second interconnect traces 12, shortening the signal transmission distance, and enabling high-speed signal transmission.
[0055] It is understandable that the boundary line between the first region Q1 and the second region Q2 shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 is only for the purpose of explaining the layout of the semiconductor device 2 and the transfer substrate 3 , and does not represent the actual range.
[0056] FIG6 is a schematic diagram of another semiconductor package structure provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG6 , the plurality of semiconductor devices 2 further include a third type of semiconductor device 23 . The third type of semiconductor device 23 is located within the second region Q2 and on the side of the second type of semiconductor device 22 facing away from the first type of semiconductor device 21 .
[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the third type semiconductor device 23 may include a redundant semiconductor device. The redundant semiconductor device may be a device that is not connected to the interconnection traces in the interconnection layer, that is, the redundant semiconductor device is equivalent to a dummy semiconductor device. In addition, the redundant semiconductor devices are distributed at the edge of the semiconductor package structure 200. By rationally designing the position distribution of the redundant semiconductor devices, stress can be balanced, the stability of the package structure can be improved, and the risk of structural rupture can be reduced. For example, the redundant semiconductor device can have the same or different structure as the second type semiconductor device 22 or the first type semiconductor device 21.
[0058] In some other embodiments of the present application, the third-type semiconductor device 23 may further include a semiconductor device with a set function, which is used to implement information exchange with other devices or electronic devices. For example, the third-type semiconductor device 23 may be a wireless communication module, an antenna, etc., for wireless communication, or the third-type semiconductor device 23 may be the same as the first-type semiconductor device 21. In addition, the third-type semiconductor device 23 may be connected to the second-type semiconductor device 22, the first-type semiconductor device 21, or the power supply module 5 through other interconnection traces in the interconnection layer.
[0059] In the present application, the shape of the transfer substrate 3 in the packaging structure can have various forms to match the needs for different numbers, sizes and types of connectors. In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 2 and 6, in the direction perpendicular to the interconnection layer 1, the orthographic projection of the transfer substrate 3 falls within the area of the interconnection layer 1, and the side of the transfer substrate 3 facing away from the interconnection layer 1 is used to connect the connector 100. Since in the process of making the packaging structure, the interconnection layer 1 is formed first and then the transfer substrate 3 is connected to the interconnection layer 1, the transfer substrate 3 structure shown in Figures 2 or 6 can be set on the basis of the original size of the interconnection layer 1, effectively utilizing the space in the direction perpendicular to the interconnection layer 1, and by rationally designing the positions of multiple transfer substrates 3, it is also beneficial to balance stress and improve the stability of the packaging structure.
[0060] FIG7 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another semiconductor packaging structure provided by an embodiment of the present application; FIG8 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another semiconductor packaging structure provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG7 and FIG8, the transfer substrate 3 includes a first substrate portion 31 and a second substrate portion 32 connected to each other. In the direction perpendicular to the interconnection layer 1, the orthographic projection of the first substrate portion 31 falls within the range of the interconnection layer 1, and the orthographic projection of the second substrate portion 32 does not have an overlapping area with the interconnection layer 1. In other words, the transfer substrate 3 is extended based on the original size of the interconnection layer 1, increasing the space available for setting the connector 100 on the transfer substrate 3. More types and more numbers of connectors 100 are set on the transfer substrate 3, so that it can match more types and more numbers of devices or electronic devices. Correspondingly, more types of semiconductor devices 2 can also be set in the packaging structure, so that it can achieve richer functions. At the same time, increasing the number of connectors 100 is also conducive to improving the signal transmission rate.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG7 , the first substrate portion 31 is flush with the second substrate portion 32, and both sides of the interposer substrate 3 can be used to connect to the connector 100. Exemplarily, the connector 100 includes a first connector 101, with the side of the first substrate portion 31 facing away from the interconnect layer 1 being used to connect to the first connector 101. Alternatively, the connector 100 includes a second connector 102, with the side of the second substrate portion 32 facing away from the interconnect layer 1 being used to connect to the second connector 102. Exemplarily, when the first substrate portion 31 and the second substrate portion 32 are flush, the connector 100 may further include a third connector 103, with the side of the second substrate portion 32 facing the interconnect layer 1 being used to connect to the third connector 103.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 8, one end of the second substrate portion 32 is connected to the first substrate portion 31, and the other end of the second substrate portion 32 extends along the side of the interconnection layer 1. This design can provide more connectors 100 while making the product have a smaller volume, thereby improving the integration of the packaging structure.
[0063] FIG9 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another packaging structure provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG9 , the interconnection layer 1 includes a first wiring layer 61, a carrier 62, and a second wiring layer 63. The first wiring layer 61 is located between the plurality of semiconductor devices 2 and the carrier 62, and the second wiring layer 63 is located between the carrier 62 and at least one transfer substrate 3. The substrates of the first and second wiring layers 61, 63 can be the same or different. Each of the first and second wiring layers 61, 63 can include multiple conductive layers to form interconnect lines. The first interconnect line 11 is located in the first wiring layer 61, and the second interconnect line 12 is located in the first and second wiring layers 61, 63. The substrate of the carrier 62 can be a rigid substrate including, but not limited to, silicon (Si) or glass to support the first and second wiring layers 61, 63. Exemplarily, the carrier 62 can be a wafer to meet the large-scale carrier requirements of the packaging structure provided by the embodiment of the present application. The carrier 62 includes a first vertical interconnect structure 71, which can be used to connect the second interconnect lines in the first and second wiring layers 61, 63. Based on this, the connector 100 can be connected to the second-type semiconductor device 22 through the transfer trace 30 , the second interconnect trace and the first vertical interconnect structure 71 to achieve signal input and output.
[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, each second-type semiconductor device 22 is connected to multiple first vertical interconnection structures 71. In the direction perpendicular to the interconnection layer 1, the positive projection of the first vertical interconnection structure 71 corresponding to the same second-type semiconductor device 22 falls within the range of the corresponding transfer substrate 3. The first vertical interconnection structure 71 connects the second interconnection lines in the first wiring layer 61 and the second wiring layer 62 in the direction perpendicular to the interconnection layer 1, which is beneficial to reducing the overall length of the lines between the second-type semiconductor device 22 and the interconnection substrate 3, thereby facilitating improving the signal transmission rate.
[0065] As shown in FIG9 , the semiconductor package structure 200 further includes at least one power supply module 5, which is located on a side of the second wiring layer 63 facing away from the plurality of semiconductor devices 2. The power supply module 5 is used to supply power to the first-type semiconductor device 21, enabling the first-type semiconductor device 21 to operate normally. Correspondingly, referring to FIG9 , the interconnection traces further include third interconnection traces 13, which are located between the first wiring layer 61 and the second wiring layer 63. The third interconnection traces are used to connect the first-type semiconductor device 21 and the power supply module 5. In this case, the carrier 62 further includes a second vertical interconnection structure 72, which is used to connect the third interconnection traces 13 in the first wiring layer 61 and the second wiring layer 63. Based on this, the power supply module 5 can connect to the first-type semiconductor device 21 via the third interconnection trace and the second vertical structure to supply power to the first-type semiconductor device 21. Furthermore, different first-type semiconductor devices 21 can be connected to different power supply modules 5 to meet the operating requirements of different first-type semiconductor devices 21.
[0066] Because the first vertical interconnect structure 71 performs signal input and output functions, while the second vertical interconnect structure 72 performs power supply functions, to meet the requirements of high-speed signal transmission, in the embodiment of the present application, the density of the first vertical interconnect structures 71 connected to each second-type semiconductor device 22 can be greater than the density of the second vertical interconnect structures 72 connected to each first-type semiconductor device 21. At the same time, the density of the second vertical interconnect structures 72 is relatively low, which also helps reduce the difficulty of the drilling process. For example, the first vertical interconnect structure 71 and the second vertical interconnect structure 72 can be conductive pillars.
[0067] To meet the requirement of low impedance, the line width of the first interconnection line 11 needs to be relatively larger, and to meet the requirement of high-speed signal transmission, the line width of the second interconnection line 12 needs to be relatively smaller. Correspondingly, the diameter of the second vertical interconnection structure 72 can be greater than or equal to the diameter of the first vertical interconnection structure 71, which is beneficial to reducing the impedance of the second vertical interconnection structure 72 and has lower process difficulty.
[0068] It is understandable that the specific structure of the interconnection layer 1 can be designed according to the process level, and the combination of the interconnection layer 1 and the transfer substrate 3 can also be determined according to the needs. Figure 10 is a structural schematic diagram of another packaging structure provided in an embodiment of the present application, and Figure 11 is a structural schematic diagram of another packaging structure provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the interconnection layer 1 includes a first wiring layer 61, a carrier 62, and a second wiring layer 63. The corresponding technical effects can be obtained by referring to the technical effects of the solution shown in Figure 9. The transfer substrate 3 includes a first substrate portion 31 and a second substrate portion 32. The corresponding technical effects can be obtained by referring to the technical effects of the corresponding solutions of Figures 7 or 8. The repeated parts will not be described in detail.
[0069] In addition, as shown in Figures 2 and 6-9, the packaging structure may further include a heat sink 8, which is located on the side of the multiple semiconductor devices 2 away from the interconnection layer 1 and is used to dissipate heat from the semiconductor devices 2 to prevent the semiconductor devices 2 from overheating during operation, thereby protecting the semiconductor devices 2 and extending the service life of the semiconductor devices 2.
[0070] The packaging structure provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to ultra-large-scale integrated packaging. The size of the packaging structure is relatively large, so the packaging structure can also include multiple bolts 9. The bolts 9 pass through the interconnection layer 1 and the heat sink 8, which can ensure the stability and safety of the packaging structure and improve product reliability.

The wiring in the second wiring layer 63 is connected to the wiring in the first wiring layer 61 through the vertical interconnection structure 7 in the carrier 62.
