Description
技术领域
本发明有关一种封装结构,尤指一种电子封装件及其承载基板与制法。
背景技术
随着电子产业的蓬勃发展,电子产品也逐渐迈向多功能、高性能的趋势。目前应用于芯片封装领域的技术,包含有例如芯片尺寸构装(Chip Scale Package,简称CSP)、芯片直接贴附封装(Direct Chip Attached,简称DCA)或多芯片模组封装(Multi-Chip Module,简称MCM)等覆晶型态的封装模组,或将芯片立体堆叠化整合为三维积体电路(3D IC)芯片堆叠技术等。
图1为现有3D芯片堆叠的封装结构1的剖面示意图。如图1所示,该封装结构1包括一硅中介板(Through Silicon interposer,简称TSI)1a,其具有一硅板体10及多个形成于其中的导电硅穿孔(Through-silicon via,简称TSV)101,且该硅板体10的表面上形成有一电性连接该导电硅穿孔101的线路重布结构(Redistribution layer,简称RDL)。具体地,该线路重布结构包含一介电层11及一形成于该介电层11上的线路层12,且该线路层12电性连接该导电硅穿孔101,并形成一绝缘保护层13于该介电层11与该线路层12上,且该绝缘保护层13外露部分该线路层11,以结合多个如焊锡凸块的第一导电元件14。
此外,可先形成另一绝缘保护层15于该硅板体10上,且该绝缘保护层15外露该些导电硅穿孔101的端面,以结合多个第二导电元件16于该些导电硅穿孔101的端面上,且该第二导电元件16电性连接该导电硅穿孔101,其中,该第二导电元件16含有焊锡材料或铜凸块,且可选择性于该导电硅穿孔101的端面上形成供接置该第二导电元件16的凸块底下金属层(Under Bump Metallurgy,简称UBM)160。
另外,该封装结构1还包括一封装基板19,供该硅中介板1a经由该些第二导电元件16设于其上,使该封装基板19电性连接该些导电硅穿孔101,且以底胶191包覆该些第二导电元件16。
另外,该封装结构1还包括多个半导体芯片17,其设于该些第一导电元件14上,使该半导体芯片17电性连接该线路层12,其中,该半导体芯片17以覆晶方式结合该些第一导电元件14,且以底胶171包覆该些第一导电元件14,并形成封装材18于该封装基板19上,以令该封装材18包覆该半导体芯片17与该硅中介板1a。
于后续应用中,该封装结构1可形成多个焊球192于该封装基板19的下侧,以接置于一如电路板的电子装置(图略)上。
然而,现今终端产品的电性功能越加发达,故接置于该硅中介板1a上的电子元件半导体芯片17越来越多,使该硅中介板1a的结合面积亦会越来越大,因而该导电硅穿孔101的布设数量亦会增多,导致于制程上会产生以下缺陷,造成该封装结构1的良率下降。
第一点:该硅中介板1a的体积越来越大,则该底胶171及该封装材18等胶材与该封装基板19、硅中介板1a及半导体芯片17之间的热膨胀系数(CTE)不匹配(mismatch),因而容易发生热应力不均匀的情况,致使热循环(thermal cycle)时,该硅中介板1a产生极大的翘曲(warpage),以致于发生植球状况不佳(即该第二导电元件16掉落而电性断路)、第二导电元件16不沾锡(non-wetting)或该封装基板19***等可靠度问题,进而导致应用该封装结构1的终端电子产品(如电脑、手机等)产生可靠度问题。
第二点:该半导体芯片17的电性功能一定要通过该硅中介板1a才能连接到该封装基板19,且该半导体芯片17的信号(signal)电性功能的传输速度为高速需求,以提升终端产品效能,但该半导体芯片17的部分电性功能(如电源或接地)的传输速度需求不高,故若该电源或接地的电性功能仍通过该导电硅穿孔101进行传输,将导致制作成本的浪费。例如,需制作该电源或接地的电性功能所用的导电硅穿孔101,因而需增加该硅板体10的面积,且于制作该导电硅穿孔101,因需具备一定深宽比的控制(即该导电硅穿孔101的深宽比),才能制作出适用的硅中介板1a,因而往往需耗费大量制程时间及化学药剂的成本,进而提高制程难度及制作成本。
因此,如何克服上述现有技术的种种问题,实已成为目前业界亟待克服的难题。

前述的制法中,还包括形成第一线路结构于该包覆层上,以令该第一线路结构电性连接该导电柱与该导电穿孔。
前述的制法中,还包括:形成第二线路结构于该电子元件上;将该导电柱与该中介板结合于该第二线路结构上,且令该第二线路结构电性连接该导电柱与该导电穿孔;以及将该包覆层结合于该第二线路结构上,以令该包覆层包覆该中介板与该导电柱。
前述的制法中,还包括于该包覆层上形成多个导电元件,且令该多个导电元件电性连接该导电柱与该导电穿孔。

在本实施例中,该第一线路结构20包括至少一第一绝缘层200与至少一设于该第一绝缘层200上的第一线路重布层(Redistribution layer,简称RDL)201。例如,形成该第一线路重布层201的材料为铜,且形成该第一绝缘层200的材料例如为聚对二唑苯(Polybenzoxazole,简称PBO)、聚酰亚胺(Polyimide,简称PI)、预浸材(Prepreg,简称PP)或其它等的介电材。
此外,该承载板9例如为半导体材料(如硅或玻璃)的板体,其上以涂布方式依序形成有一离型层90与一粘着层91,以供该第一线路结构20设于该粘着层91上。

在本实施例中,该包覆层25为绝缘材,如环氧树脂的封装胶体,其可用压合(lamination)或模压(molding)的方式形成于该第一线路结构20上。
此外,该整平制程经由研磨方式,移除该导电柱23的部分材料、该中介板21的第二侧21b的部分材料与该包覆层25的部分材料。
如图2D所示,形成一第二线路结构26于该包覆层25的第二表面25b上,且令该第二线路结构26电性连接该些导电柱23与该中介板21的导电穿孔210。
在本实施例中,该第二线路结构26包括多个第二绝缘层260、及设于该第二绝缘层260上的多个第二线路重布层(RDL)261,且最外层的第二绝缘层260可作为防焊层,以令最外层的第二线路重布层261外露于该防焊层。或者,该第二线路结构26亦可仅包括单一第二绝缘层260及单一第二线路重布层261。
此外,形成该第二线路重布层261的材料为铜,且形成该第二绝缘层260的材料为如聚对二唑苯(PBO)、聚酰亚胺(PI)、预浸材(PP)或其它等的介电材。

如图2F所示,于最外层的第二线路重布层261上接置一电子元件29,且可于该第一线路结构20上形成多个如焊球的导电元件27。
在本实施例中,可形成一如防焊层的绝缘保护层28于该第一线路结构20上,且于该绝缘保护层28上形成多个开孔,以令该第一线路重布层201外露于该些开孔,从而供结合该导电元件27。
此外,该电子元件29为主动元件、被动元件或其二者组合等,其中,该主动元件例如为半导体芯片,且该被动元件例如为电阻、电容及电感。例如,该电子元件29为半导体芯片,如逻辑(logic)芯片,其具有相对的作用面29a与非作用面29b,且以其作用面29a的电极垫290经由多个如焊锡材料的导电凸块291采用覆晶方式设于该第二线路重布层261上并电性连接该第二线路重布层261,并以底胶292包覆该些导电凸块291;或者,该电子元件29以其非作用面29b设于该第二线路结构26上,并可经由多个焊线(图略)以打线方式电性连接该第二线路重布层261;亦或通过如导电胶或焊锡等导电材料(图略)电性连接该第二线路重布层261。然而,有关该电子元件29电性连接该第二线路重布层261的方式不限于上述。
如图2G所示,沿如图2F所示的切割路径S对该中介部2a进行切单制程,以获取该电子封装件2。
在本实施例中,可经由该些导电元件27接置于一布线板件8上侧,如有机材板体(如具有核心层与线路部的封装基板(substrate)或具有线路部的无核心层式(coreless)封装基板)或无机材板体(如硅板材),且该布线板件8下侧可接置于一如电路板的电子装置(图未示)上,并于该布线板件8上侧形成封装材(图略)以包覆该电子封装件2。进一步,如图2H所示,可依需求配置一散热件8a于该布线板件8上,且该散热件8a经由该粘着层80结合于该布线板件8上,并使该散热件8a结合于该电子元件29的非作用面29b上。
此外,在另一实施例中,如图2G’所示的电子封装件2’,可依需求省略该第二线路结构26的制作,以令该电子元件29接置于该中介板21与该导电柱23上,底胶292接触该包覆层25的第二表面25b。具体地,该电子元件29经由该些导电凸块291电性连接该导电穿孔210与该导电柱23。
或者,在其它实施例中,如图2G”所示的电子封装件2”,亦可依需求省略该第一线路结构20的制作,以令该中介板21的导电穿孔210与该导电柱23经由该些导电元件27接置该布线板件8。
请参阅图3A至图3D,其为本发明的电子封装件3的制法的第二实施例的剖面示意图。本实施例与第一实施例的差异在于电子元件的设置步骤,其它制程大致相同,故以下不再赘述相同处。
如图3A所示,先于承载板9的离型层90(或粘着层91)上设置电子元件29,再于该电子元件29上形成第二线路结构36,且该第二线路结构36包括多个第二绝缘层360及设于该第二绝缘层360上的多个第二线路重布层(RDL)361。
在另一实施例中,可依需求省略该第二线路结构36的制作,以令该导电柱23接置该电子元件29的电极垫290上,如图3A’所示。
如图3B所示,接续图3A的制程,将中介板21以其第二侧21b经由导电体22与结合层24设于该第二线路结构36上。
如图3C所示,以包覆层25包覆该中介板21、结合层24与该些导电柱23,再进行整平制程。接着,形成一第一线路结构30于该包覆层25的第一表面25a上,且该第一线路结构30电性连接该些导电柱23与该中介板21的导电穿孔210。
如图3D所示,移除该承载板9及其上的离型层90,以外露该电子元件29,再进行切单制程以获取该电子封装件3。
在本实施例中,该电子封装件3可经由该些导电元件27接置于一布线板件8(如图3E所示),且可依需求配置该散热件8a(见图2G)于该布线板件8上。
此外,若接续图3A’的制程,可得到如图3E’所示的电子封装件3’,且中介板21经由导电体22结合及电性连接该电子元件29。或者,于图3A的制程,可依需求省略该第一线路结构30的制作,并令该导电元件27接置于该导电穿孔210与该导电柱23上,以形成如图3E”所示的电子封装件3”。
另外,于第一与第二实施例中,均可依需求省略该第一线路结构20,30与第二线路结构26,36的制作,以形成如图4及图4’所示的电子封装件4,4’。
因此,本发明的制法中,以制作成本极低(如一般封装制程用的铜柱制程)的导电柱23作为该电子元件29与该布线板件8之间的电性传输结构,故相较于现有技术,即使接置于该中介部2a上的电子元件29的数量繁多,本发明的电子封装件2,2’,2”,3,3’,3”,4,4’仍可制作较少的导电穿孔210,因而能减少制程时间及化学药剂的成本,进而降低制程难度及制作成本,以提高良率。
此外,本发明的制法中,经由小尺寸的中介板21取代现有大面积硅中介板,故相较于现有技术的单一大尺寸硅中介板的良率(如制作10个TSV的良率为0.910),本发明的每一个中介板21的良率较高(如单一个中介板21制作5个TSV的良率为0.95),致使整体中介部2a的良率较高(整体10个TSV的良率为0.95)。
又,经由该包覆层25包覆该些中介板21,以于后续形成该封装材时,该包覆层25与该封装材之间的热膨胀系数(CTE)相匹配,因而容易平均分散热应力,故于热循环(thermalcycle)时,能避免该中介部2a产生翘曲,因而能避免发生植球状况不佳(即该导电元件27掉落而电性断路)、导电元件27不沾锡(non-wetting)或该布线板件8***等可靠度问题,进而能提升应用该电子封装件的终端电子产品(如电脑、手机等)的可靠度问题。
另外,本发明的电子元件29的部分电性功能(如电源或接地)经由导电柱23作为电性传输路径,因而本发明无需制作大面积的中介板21,故相较于现有技术,本发明能有效降低生产成本。
本发明还提供一种电子封装件2,2’,2”,3,3’,3”,4,4’,包括一包覆层25、至少一中介板21、多个导电柱23以及至少一电子元件29。
所述的包覆层25具有相对的第一表面25a与第二表面25b。
所述的中介板21嵌埋于该包覆层25中,且该中介板21具有相对的第一侧21a与第二侧21b、及多个连通该第一侧21a与第二侧21b的导电穿孔210。
所述的导电柱23形成于该包覆层25中并连通该包覆层25的第一表面25a与第二表面25b。
所述的电子元件29形成于该包覆层25的第二表面25b上且电性连接该导电柱23与该导电穿孔210。
在一实施例中,该包覆层25的第一表面25a齐平该中介板21的第一侧21a的表面(如图2G”、图3E、图3E”、图4及图4’所示);或者,该包覆层25的第二表面25b齐平该中介板21的第二侧21b的表面(如图2G、图2G’、图3E’、图4及图4’所示)。
在一实施例中,该包覆层25的第一表面25a齐平该导电柱23的端面23a(如图2G”、图3E、图3E”、图4及图4’所示);或者,该包覆层25的第二表面25b齐平该导电柱23的端面23b(如图2G、图2G’、图3E’、图4及图4’所示)。
在一实施例中,该导电穿孔210外露于该包覆层25的第一表面25a或第二表面25b。
在一实施例中,该导电柱23的端面23a外露于该包覆层25的第一表面25a;或者,该导电柱23的端面23b外露于该包覆层25的第二表面25b。
在一实施例中,该电子元件29为主动元件、被动元件或其二者组合。
在一实施例中,该电子元件29经由该第二线路结构26,36电性连接该导电柱23与该导电穿孔210。
在一实施例中,所述的电子封装件2,2’,3,3’还包括形成于该包覆层25上的第一线路结构20,30及/或第二线路结构26,36,电性连接该导电柱23与该导电穿孔210。例如,可于该包覆层25上的第一线路结构20,30上形成多个导电元件27,其经由该第一线路结构20,30电性连接该导电柱23与该导电穿孔210。
在一实施例中,所述的电子封装件2”,3”,4,4’还包括形成于该包覆层25的第一表面25a上的多个导电元件27,其电性连接该导电柱23与该导电穿孔210。
综上所述,本发明的电子封装件及其制法中,经由该导电柱与该中介板嵌埋于该包覆层中以作为中介部,以减少中介板中导电穿孔的数量,故不仅能降低成本,且能提高良率。
上述实施例仅用以例示性说明本发明的原理及其功效,而非用于限制本发明。任何本领域技术人员均可在不违背本发明的精神及范畴下,对上述实施例进行修改。因此本发明的权利保护范围,应如权利要求书所列。
