特開2004−111792号公報(図1)JP 2004-111792 A (FIG. 1)

上記従来の半導体装置を製造する場合、生産性を高めるため、完成された半導体装置を複数個形成することが可能な面積を有するガラス基板上に透明接着層を介して複数のシリコン基板が設けられた状態とした後において、絶縁層、上層配線、柱状電極、封止膜および半田ボールをこの順で形成し、シリコン基板間における封止膜、絶縁層、透明接着層およびガラス基板を切断して、上記従来の半導体装置を複数個得ている。   In the case of manufacturing the conventional semiconductor device, a plurality of silicon substrates are provided on a glass substrate having an area capable of forming a plurality of completed semiconductor devices through a transparent adhesive layer in order to increase productivity. After forming the insulating state, the insulating layer, the upper layer wiring, the columnar electrode, the sealing film and the solder ball are formed in this order, and the sealing film, the insulating layer, the transparent adhesive layer and the glass substrate between the silicon substrates are cut. A plurality of the above conventional semiconductor devices are obtained.

しかしながら、上記従来の半導体装置の製造方法では、特に、絶縁層を形成するとき、未硬化樹脂からなる絶縁層形成用層を加熱により硬化収縮させて絶縁層を形成するため、ガラス基板が大きく反ってしまい、それ以後の工程への搬送やそれ以後の工程での加工精度に支障を来すという問題があった。   However, in the conventional method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, particularly when an insulating layer is formed, the insulating layer forming layer made of an uncured resin is cured and shrunk by heating to form the insulating layer. As a result, there is a problem that the transfer to the subsequent process and the processing accuracy in the subsequent process are hindered.

そこで、この発明は、ベース基板の反りを低減することができる半導体装置を提供することを目的とする。   In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device capable of reducing warpage of a base substrate.

この発明は、上記目的を達成するため、上面に下層配線を有するベース基板と、前記ベース基板上に、半導体基板下に設けられた外部接続用電極を前記下層配線に接続されて設けられた半導体構成体と、前記半導体構成体の周囲における前記ベース基板上に設けられた絶縁層と、前記絶縁層上に設けられたハードシートと、前記半導体構成体、前記絶縁層および前記ハードシート上に設けられた上層絶縁膜と、前記上層絶縁膜上に前記下層配線に接続されて設けられた上層配線とを備えていることを特徴とするものである。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a base substrate having a lower layer wiring on the upper surface, and a semiconductor provided on the base substrate by connecting an external connection electrode provided below the semiconductor substrate to the lower layer wiring A structure, an insulating layer provided on the base substrate around the semiconductor structure, a hard sheet provided on the insulating layer, and provided on the semiconductor structure, the insulating layer, and the hard sheet And an upper-layer wiring provided on the upper-layer insulating film so as to be connected to the lower-layer wiring.

この発明によれば、ベース基板上に設けられた絶縁層上にハードシートを設けているので、この部分における厚さ方向の材料構成がほぼ対称的となり、絶縁層を形成するとき、未硬化樹脂からなる絶縁膜形成用膜を加熱加圧しても、絶縁層形成用層が厚さ方向にほぼ対称的に硬化収縮し、ひいては、ベース基板の反りを低減することができる。   According to the present invention, since the hard sheet is provided on the insulating layer provided on the base substrate, the material composition in the thickness direction in this portion becomes almost symmetrical, and when the insulating layer is formed, an uncured resin is formed. Even when the insulating film forming film is heated and pressed, the insulating layer forming layer is cured and contracted almost symmetrically in the thickness direction, and thus warpage of the base substrate can be reduced.

上層配線26を含む上層絶縁膜23の上面にはソルダーレジスト等からなるオーバーコート膜27が設けられている。上層配線26の接続パッド部に対応する部分におけるオーバーコート膜27には開口部28が設けられている。開口部28内およびその上方には半田ボール29が上層配線26の接続パッド部に接続されて設けられている。複数の半田ボール29は、絶縁層21上におけるオーバーコート膜27上にマトリクス状に配置されている。   An overcoat film 27 made of a solder resist or the like is provided on the upper surface of the upper insulating film 23 including the upper wiring 26. An opening 28 is provided in the overcoat film 27 in a portion corresponding to the connection pad portion of the upper wiring 26. Solder balls 29 are provided in and above the opening 28 so as to be connected to the connection pad portion of the upper layer wiring 26. The plurality of solder balls 29 are arranged in a matrix on the overcoat film 27 on the insulating layer 21.

次に、この半導体装置の製造方法の一例について説明するに、まず、半導体構成体3の製造方法の一例について説明する。この場合、まず、図2に示すように、ウエハ状態のシリコン基板(半導体基板)4上にCCD等からなる光電変換デバイス領域5、アルミニウム系金属等からなる接続パッド6、酸化シリコン等からなる絶縁膜7およびエポキシ系樹脂やポリイミド系樹脂等からなる保護膜9が設けられ、接続パッド6の中央部が絶縁膜7および保護膜9に形成された開口部8、10を介して露出されたものを用意する。   Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device 3 will be described. In this case, first, as shown in FIG. 2, on a silicon substrate (semiconductor substrate) 4 in a wafer state, a photoelectric conversion device region 5 made of CCD or the like, a connection pad 6 made of aluminum-based metal, etc., an insulation made of silicon oxide or the like. The film 7 and a protective film 9 made of epoxy resin, polyimide resin, or the like are provided, and the central portion of the connection pad 6 is exposed through the openings 8 and 10 formed in the insulating film 7 and the protective film 9 Prepare.

この場合、ウエハ状態のシリコン基板4の上面の各半導体構成体3が形成される領域の中央部に光電変換デバイス領域5が形成され、当該領域の周辺部に形成された接続パッド6は、それぞれ、対応する領域に形成された光電変換デバイス領域5に電気的に接続されている。   In this case, the photoelectric conversion device region 5 is formed in the central portion of the region where each semiconductor structure 3 is formed on the upper surface of the silicon substrate 4 in the wafer state, and the connection pads 6 formed in the peripheral portion of the region are respectively Are electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion device region 5 formed in the corresponding region.

次に、図3に示すように、両開口部8、10を介して露出された接続パッド6の上面を含む保護膜9の上面全体に下地金属層11を形成する。この場合、下地金属層11は、無電解メッキにより形成された銅層のみであってもよく、またスパッタにより形成された銅層のみであってもよく、さらにスパッタにより形成されたチタン等の薄膜層上にスパッタにより銅層を形成したものであってもよい。   Next, as shown in FIG. 3, a base metal layer 11 is formed on the entire upper surface of the protective film 9 including the upper surface of the connection pad 6 exposed through both openings 8 and 10. In this case, the base metal layer 11 may be only a copper layer formed by electroless plating, may be only a copper layer formed by sputtering, or a thin film such as titanium formed by sputtering. A copper layer may be formed on the layer by sputtering.

次に、下地金属層11の上面にメッキレジスト膜31をパターン形成する。この場合、柱状電極12形成領域に対応する部分におけるメッキレジスト膜31には開口部32が形成されている。次に、下地金属層11をメッキ電流路として銅の電解メッキを行なうことにより、メッキレジスト膜31の開口部32内の下地金属層11の上面に柱状電極12を形成する。次に、メッキレジスト膜31を剥離し、次いで、柱状電極12をマスクとして下地金属層11の不要な部分をエッチングして除去すると、図4に示すように、柱状電極12下にのみ下地金属層11が残存される。   Next, a plating resist film 31 is pattern-formed on the upper surface of the base metal layer 11. In this case, an opening 32 is formed in the plating resist film 31 in a portion corresponding to the columnar electrode 12 formation region. Next, by performing electrolytic plating of copper using the base metal layer 11 as a plating current path, the columnar electrode 12 is formed on the upper surface of the base metal layer 11 in the opening 32 of the plating resist film 31. Next, when the plating resist film 31 is peeled off, and then unnecessary portions of the base metal layer 11 are removed by etching using the columnar electrodes 12 as a mask, as shown in FIG. 11 remains.

次に、図5に示すように、スクリーン印刷法、スピンコート法、ダイコート法等により、柱状電極12を含む保護膜9の上面全体にエポキシ系樹脂やポリイミド系樹脂等からなる封止膜13をその厚さが柱状電極12の高さよりも厚くなるように形成する。したがって、この状態では、柱状電極12の上面は封止膜13によって覆われている。   Next, as shown in FIG. 5, a sealing film 13 made of epoxy resin, polyimide resin, or the like is formed on the entire upper surface of the protective film 9 including the columnar electrode 12 by screen printing, spin coating, die coating, or the like. The thickness is formed so as to be thicker than the height of the columnar electrode 12. Therefore, in this state, the upper surface of the columnar electrode 12 is covered with the sealing film 13.

次に、封止膜13および柱状電極12の上面側を適宜に研磨し、図6に示すように、柱状電極12の上面を露出させ、且つ、この露出された柱状電極12の上面を含む封止膜13の上面を平坦化する。ここで、柱状電極12の上面側を適宜に研磨するのは、電解メッキにより形成される柱状電極12の高さにばらつきがあるため、このばらつきを解消して、柱状電極12の高さを均一にするためである。   Next, the upper surface side of the sealing film 13 and the columnar electrode 12 is appropriately polished to expose the upper surface of the columnar electrode 12 and to include the exposed upper surface of the columnar electrode 12 as shown in FIG. The upper surface of the stop film 13 is flattened. Here, the reason why the upper surface side of the columnar electrode 12 is appropriately polished is that there is a variation in the height of the columnar electrode 12 formed by electrolytic plating, so this variation is eliminated and the height of the columnar electrode 12 is made uniform. It is to make it.

次に、シリコン基板4の下面をダイシングテープ(図示せず)に貼り付け、図7に示すダイシング工程を経た後に、ダイシングテープから剥がすと、図1に示す半導体構成体3が複数個得られる。なお、図6に示す工程後に、柱状電極12の上面に半田層14(図1参照)を設け、この後に、ダイシングを行なうようにしてもよい。   Next, the lower surface of the silicon substrate 4 is attached to a dicing tape (not shown), and after passing through the dicing process shown in FIG. 7, the semiconductor substrate 3 is peeled off from the dicing tape to obtain a plurality of semiconductor structures 3 shown in FIG. 1. Note that, after the step shown in FIG. 6, a solder layer 14 (see FIG. 1) may be provided on the upper surface of the columnar electrode 12, and then dicing may be performed.

次に、このようにして得られた半導体構成体3を用いて、図1に示す半導体装置を製造する場合の一例について説明する。まず、図8に示すように、図1に示す完成された半導体装置を複数個形成することが可能な面積を有するガラス基板等からなる透明基板1を用意する。この場合、透明基板1の上面には、透明基板1の上面にラミネートされた銅箔をフォトリソグラフィ法によりバターニングすることにより、下層配線2が形成されている。   Next, an example of manufacturing the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 1 using the semiconductor structure 3 obtained in this manner will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 8, a transparent substrate 1 made of a glass substrate or the like having an area capable of forming a plurality of completed semiconductor devices shown in FIG. 1 is prepared. In this case, the lower layer wiring 2 is formed on the upper surface of the transparent substrate 1 by patterning the copper foil laminated on the upper surface of the transparent substrate 1 by photolithography.

次に、半導体構成体3の柱状電極12の下面を透明基板1上の下層配線2の内側の接続パッド部上面に半田層14を介して接続することにより、半導体構成体3を下層配線2を含む透明基板1の上面に配置する。次に、透明基板1と半導体構成体3との間およびその周辺部にエポキシ系樹脂等からなるアンダーフィル材15を充填する。   Next, the lower surface of the columnar electrode 12 of the semiconductor structure 3 is connected to the upper surface of the connection pad portion inside the lower layer wiring 2 on the transparent substrate 1 through the solder layer 14 so that the semiconductor structure 3 is connected to the lower layer wiring 2. It arrange | positions on the upper surface of the transparent substrate 1 containing. Next, an underfill material 15 made of an epoxy resin or the like is filled between the transparent substrate 1 and the semiconductor structure 3 and in the periphery thereof.

次に、図9に示すように、半導体構成体3の周囲における下層配線2を含む透明基板1の上面に、格子状の2枚の絶縁層形成用シート21a、21bおよび同じく格子状の1枚のハードシート22をピン等で位置決めしながら積層して配置する。なお、2枚の絶縁層形成用シート21a、21bおよび1枚のハードシート22を積層して配置した後に、半導体構成体3を配置するようにしてもよい。   Next, as shown in FIG. 9, on the upper surface of the transparent substrate 1 including the lower layer wiring 2 around the semiconductor structure 3, two grid-like insulating layer forming sheets 21a and 21b and one grid-like sheet are formed. The hard sheets 22 are stacked and positioned with pins or the like. The semiconductor structure 3 may be arranged after the two insulating layer forming sheets 21a and 21b and the one hard sheet 22 are laminated.

格子状の絶縁層形成用シート21a、21bは、ガラス布等からなる基材にエポキシ系樹脂等からなる熱硬化性樹脂を含浸させ、熱硬化性樹脂を半硬化状態(Bステージ)にしてシート状となしたプリプレグ材に、パンチング、あるいは、ドリルまたはルーター加工等により、複数の方形状の開口部33を形成することにより得られる。   The grid-like insulating layer forming sheets 21a and 21b are made by impregnating a base material made of glass cloth or the like with a thermosetting resin made of epoxy resin or the like, and making the thermosetting resin semi-cured (B stage). It is obtained by forming a plurality of rectangular openings 33 in the prepreg material formed into a shape by punching, drilling or router processing.

格子状のハードシート22は、例えばガラス基板からなる透明基板1の熱膨張係数と同じかそれに近い熱膨張係数を有する材料、例えばセラミックスシートやニッケル合金等の低膨張金属シートに、パンチング、あるいは、ドリルまたはルーター加工等により、複数の方形状の開口部34を形成することにより得られる。   The lattice-like hard sheet 22 is punched on a material having a thermal expansion coefficient equal to or close to the thermal expansion coefficient of the transparent substrate 1 made of a glass substrate, for example, a low expansion metal sheet such as a ceramic sheet or a nickel alloy, or It is obtained by forming a plurality of rectangular openings 34 by drilling or router processing.

ここで、ハードシート22の開口部34のサイズは絶縁層形成用シート21a、21bの開口部33のサイズよりもある程度大きくなっている。これは、図1に示す開口部24を形成することができるようにするためである。また、絶縁層形成用シート21a、21bの開口部33のサイズは半導体構成体3のサイズよりもやや大きくなっている。このため、絶縁層形成用シート21a、21bおよびハードシート22と半導体構成体3との間には隙間35が形成されている。   Here, the size of the opening 34 of the hard sheet 22 is somewhat larger than the size of the opening 33 of the insulating layer forming sheets 21a and 21b. This is because the opening 24 shown in FIG. 1 can be formed. In addition, the size of the opening 33 of the insulating layer forming sheets 21 a and 21 b is slightly larger than the size of the semiconductor structure 3. For this reason, a gap 35 is formed between the insulating layer forming sheets 21 a and 21 b and the hard sheet 22 and the semiconductor structure 3.

また、絶縁層形成用シート21a、21bおよびハードシート22の合計厚さは、半導体構成体3の厚さよりもある程度厚く、後述の如く、加熱加圧されたときに、絶縁層形成用シート21a、21b中の熱硬化性樹脂によって隙間35を十分に埋めることができる程度の厚さとなっている。   Further, the total thickness of the insulating layer forming sheets 21a and 21b and the hard sheet 22 is somewhat thicker than the thickness of the semiconductor structure 3, and when heated and pressurized as will be described later, the insulating layer forming sheet 21a, The thickness is such that the gap 35 can be sufficiently filled with the thermosetting resin in 21b.

ところで、絶縁層形成用シート21a、21bとして、厚さが同じものを用いているが、厚さが異なるものを用いてもよい。また、絶縁層形成用シートは、上記の如く、2層であってもよいが、1層または3層以上であってもよい。要は、絶縁層形成用シートの上面にハードシート22が配置されていればよい。   By the way, although the same thickness is used as the insulating layer forming sheets 21a and 21b, sheets having different thicknesses may be used. Further, the insulating layer forming sheet may have two layers as described above, but may have one layer or three or more layers. In short, it is sufficient that the hard sheet 22 is disposed on the upper surface of the insulating layer forming sheet.

次に、ハードシート22の上面に上層絶縁膜形成用シート23aを配置する。この場合、上層絶縁膜形成用シート23aは、限定する意味ではないが、シート状のビルドアップ材が好ましく、このビルドアップ材としては、エポキシ系樹脂等の熱硬化性樹脂中にシリカフィラーを混入させ、熱硬化性樹脂を半硬化状態にしたものがある。   Next, the upper insulating film forming sheet 23 a is disposed on the upper surface of the hard sheet 22. In this case, the upper insulating film forming sheet 23a is not limited, but is preferably a sheet-like buildup material. As this buildup material, a silica filler is mixed in a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin. Some thermosetting resins are in a semi-cured state.

次に、図10に示すように、一対の加熱加圧板36、37を用いて上下から絶縁層形成用シート21a、21b、ハードシート22および上層絶縁膜形成用シート23aを加熱加圧する。すると、絶縁層形成用シート21a、21b中の溶融された熱硬化性樹脂が図9に示す隙間35内に押し出されて充填され、その後の冷却により、半導体構成体3の周囲における下層配線2を含む透明基板1の上面に絶縁層21が形成される。   Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the insulating layer forming sheets 21 a and 21 b, the hard sheet 22, and the upper insulating film forming sheet 23 a are heated and pressed from above and below using a pair of heating and pressing plates 36 and 37. Then, the melted thermosetting resin in the insulating layer forming sheets 21a and 21b is extruded and filled in the gap 35 shown in FIG. 9, and the subsequent lower layer wiring 2 around the semiconductor structure 3 is formed by cooling. An insulating layer 21 is formed on the upper surface of the transparent substrate 1 including the insulating substrate 21.

ハードシート22は、セラミックスシートやニッケル合金等の低膨張金属シートからなっているため、加熱加圧されても変形せず、絶縁層21の上面の所定の領域(例えば、図1に示す開口部24を除く領域)に埋め込まれる。そして、この状態では、絶縁層21およびハードシート22の上面は半導体構成体1の上面とほぼ面一となる。なお、ハードシート22は、必ずしもその上面が絶縁層21の上面と面一となるように埋め込む必要はなく、また、半導体構成体3の上面とも面一にする必要もない。   Since the hard sheet 22 is made of a low expansion metal sheet such as a ceramic sheet or a nickel alloy, the hard sheet 22 does not deform even when heated and pressed, and a predetermined region (for example, the opening shown in FIG. 1) on the upper surface of the insulating layer 21. Embedded in the area excluding 24). In this state, the upper surfaces of the insulating layer 21 and the hard sheet 22 are substantially flush with the upper surface of the semiconductor structure 1. The hard sheet 22 does not necessarily need to be embedded so that the upper surface thereof is flush with the upper surface of the insulating layer 21, and does not need to be flush with the upper surface of the semiconductor structure 3.

また、半導体構成体3、絶縁層21およびハードシート22の上面に上層絶縁膜23が形成される。この場合、上層絶縁膜23の上面は、上側の加熱加圧板38の下面によって押さえ付けられるため、平坦面となる。したがって、上層絶縁膜23の上面を平坦化するための研磨工程は不要である。   An upper insulating film 23 is formed on the upper surfaces of the semiconductor structure 3, the insulating layer 21, and the hard sheet 22. In this case, since the upper surface of the upper insulating film 23 is pressed by the lower surface of the upper heating / pressing plate 38, it becomes a flat surface. Therefore, a polishing step for flattening the upper surface of the upper insulating film 23 is not necessary.

ところで、図9に示すように、下層配線2を含む透明基板1の上面に配置された絶縁層形成用シート21a、21bの上面に、透明基板1の熱膨張係数と同じかそれに近い熱膨張係数を有する材料からなるハードシート22を配置しているので、この部分における厚さ方向の材料構成がほぼ対称的となる。また、絶縁層形成用シート21a、21bの合計体積をハードシート22の体積に相当する分だけ少なくすることができる。   By the way, as shown in FIG. 9, the thermal expansion coefficient is the same as or close to the thermal expansion coefficient of the transparent substrate 1 on the upper surface of the insulating layer forming sheets 21 a and 21 b disposed on the upper surface of the transparent substrate 1 including the lower layer wiring 2. Since the hard sheet 22 made of a material having the above is disposed, the material structure in the thickness direction in this portion is almost symmetrical. Further, the total volume of the insulating layer forming sheets 21 a and 21 b can be reduced by an amount corresponding to the volume of the hard sheet 22.

この結果、加熱加圧により、絶縁層形成用シート21a、21bおよび上層絶縁膜形成用シート23aが厚さ方向にほぼ対称的に硬化収縮し、ひいては、透明基板1に発生する反りが低減され、それ以後の工程への搬送やそれ以後の工程での加工精度に支障を来しにくいようにすることができる。   As a result, the insulating layer forming sheets 21a and 21b and the upper insulating film forming sheet 23a are cured and contracted substantially symmetrically in the thickness direction by heating and pressurization, and as a result, the warpage generated in the transparent substrate 1 is reduced. It is possible to make it difficult for the conveyance to the subsequent process and the processing accuracy in the subsequent process to be hindered.

なお、上層絶縁膜形成用シート23aとして、ガラス布等からなる基材にエポキシ系樹脂等からなる熱硬化性樹脂を含浸させ、熱硬化性樹脂を半硬化状態にしてシート状となしたプリプレグ材、または、シリカフィラーが混入されない半硬化状態の熱硬化性樹脂のみからなるシート状のものを用いるようにしてもよい。   As the upper insulating film forming sheet 23a, a prepreg material in which a base material made of glass cloth or the like is impregnated with a thermosetting resin made of an epoxy resin or the like and the thermosetting resin is made into a semi-cured state into a sheet shape Or you may make it use the sheet-like thing which consists only of a semi-hardened thermosetting resin in which a silica filler is not mixed.

次に、図11に示すように、CO2レーザ等のレーザビームを照射するレーザ加工により、下層配線2の外側の接続パッドに対応する部分における上層絶縁膜23および絶縁層21に開口部24を形成する。次に、必要に応じて、開口部24内等に発生したエポキシスミア等をデスミア処理により除去する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 11, an opening 24 is formed in the upper insulating film 23 and the insulating layer 21 in a portion corresponding to the connection pad outside the lower wiring 2 by laser processing that irradiates a laser beam such as a CO 2 laser. Form. Next, the epoxy smear etc. which generate | occur | produced in the opening part 24 etc. are removed by a desmear process as needed.

次に、図12に示すように、開口部24を介して露出された下層配線2の外側の接続パッド上面を含む上層絶縁膜23の上面全体に、銅の無電解メッキ等により、上層下地金属層25を形成する。次に、上層下地金属層25の上面にメッキレジスト膜38をパターン形成する。この場合、上層配線26形成領域に対応する部分におけるメッキレジスト膜38には開口部39が形成されている。   Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the upper layer base metal is formed on the entire upper surface of the upper insulating film 23 including the upper surface of the connection pad outside the lower layer wiring 2 exposed through the opening 24 by electroless plating of copper or the like. Layer 25 is formed. Next, a plating resist film 38 is patterned on the upper surface of the upper base metal layer 25. In this case, an opening 39 is formed in the plating resist film 38 in a portion corresponding to the upper layer wiring 26 formation region.

次に、上層下地金属層25をメッキ電流路として銅の電解メッキを行なうことにより、メッキレジスト膜38の開口部39内の上層下地金属層25の上面に上層配線26を形成する。次に、メッキレジスト膜38を剥離し、次いで、上層配線26をマスクとして上層下地金属層25の不要な部分をエッチングして除去すると、図13に示すように、上層配線26下にのみ上層下地金属層25が残存される。この状態では、上層下地金属層25を含む上層配線26の一端部は、上層絶縁膜23および絶縁層21の開口部24を介して下層配線2の外側の接続パッド部上面に接続されている。   Next, by performing copper electroplating using the upper base metal layer 25 as a plating current path, the upper layer wiring 26 is formed on the upper surface of the upper base metal layer 25 in the opening 39 of the plating resist film 38. Next, the plating resist film 38 is peeled off, and then an unnecessary portion of the upper base metal layer 25 is removed by etching using the upper layer wiring 26 as a mask. As shown in FIG. The metal layer 25 remains. In this state, one end portion of the upper layer wiring 26 including the upper base metal layer 25 is connected to the upper surface of the connection pad portion outside the lower layer wiring 2 through the upper layer insulating film 23 and the opening 24 of the insulating layer 21.

次に、図14に示すように、スクリーン印刷法、スピンコート法、ダイコート法等により、上層配線26を含む第2の上層絶縁膜23の上面にソルダーレジスト等からなるオーバーコート膜27を形成する。この場合、上層配線26の接続パッド部に対応する部分におけるオーバーコート膜27には開口部28が形成されている。   Next, as shown in FIG. 14, an overcoat film 27 made of a solder resist or the like is formed on the upper surface of the second upper layer insulating film 23 including the upper layer wiring 26 by screen printing, spin coating, die coating, or the like. . In this case, an opening 28 is formed in the overcoat film 27 in a portion corresponding to the connection pad portion of the upper layer wiring 26.

次に、開口部28内およびその上方に半田ボール29を上層配線26の接続パッド部に接続させて形成する。次に、互いに隣接する半導体構成体3間において、オーバーコート膜27、上層絶縁膜23、ハードシート22、絶縁層21および透明基板1を切断すると、図1に示す半導体装置が複数個得られる。   Next, a solder ball 29 is formed in and above the opening 28 by being connected to the connection pad portion of the upper wiring 26. Next, when the overcoat film 27, the upper insulating film 23, the hard sheet 22, the insulating layer 21, and the transparent substrate 1 are cut between the adjacent semiconductor structures 3, a plurality of semiconductor devices shown in FIG. 1 are obtained.

このようにして得られた半導体装置では、透明基板1の上面に設けられた絶縁層21の上面に、透明基板1の熱膨張係数と同じかそれに近い熱膨張係数を有するハードシート22が設けられているので、この部分における厚さ方向の材料構成がほぼ対称的となり、したがって、全体として反りにくい構造とすることができる。   In the semiconductor device thus obtained, a hard sheet 22 having a thermal expansion coefficient equal to or close to that of the transparent substrate 1 is provided on the upper surface of the insulating layer 21 provided on the upper surface of the transparent substrate 1. Therefore, the material composition in the thickness direction in this portion is almost symmetrical, and therefore, the overall structure is difficult to warp.

ところで、上記製造方法では、透明基板1上に複数の半導体構成体3を配置し、複数の半導体構成体3に対して、上層配線26および半田ボール29の形成を一括して行い、その後に分断して複数個の半導体装置を得ているので、製造工程を簡略化することができる。また、図10に示す製造工程以降では、透明基板1と共に複数の半導体構成体3を搬送することができるので、これによっても製造工程を簡略化することができる。   By the way, in the above manufacturing method, a plurality of semiconductor structures 3 are arranged on the transparent substrate 1, and the upper layer wiring 26 and the solder balls 29 are collectively formed on the plurality of semiconductor structures 3, and then divided. Since a plurality of semiconductor devices are obtained, the manufacturing process can be simplified. Moreover, since the several semiconductor structure 3 can be conveyed with the transparent substrate 1 after the manufacturing process shown in FIG. 10, a manufacturing process can also be simplified by this.

図15はこの発明の第2実施形態としての半導体装置の断面図を示す。この半導体装置において、図1に示す半導体装置と異なる点は、透明基板1と半導体構成体3との間の周辺部のみにアンダーフィル材15を設け、且つ、半導体構成体3の下面中央部に対向する部分における透明基板1の上面に座ぐり加工により凹部41を設けた点である。
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 15 is a sectional view of a semiconductor device as a second embodiment of the present invention. This semiconductor device is different from the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 1 in that an underfill material 15 is provided only in the peripheral portion between the transparent substrate 1 and the semiconductor structure 3, and the lower surface central portion of the semiconductor structure 3 is provided. This is that a concave portion 41 is provided by spot facing on the upper surface of the transparent substrate 1 in the facing portion.

この半導体装置では、半導体構成体3の下面中央部とそれに対向する部分における透明基板1との間に比較的大きな空洞部42が形成されるため、半導体構成体3のシリコン基板4の下面中央部に設けられた光電変換デバイス領域5への応力を低減することができる。なお、透明基板1と半導体構成体3との間の周辺部のみにアンダーフィル材15を設け、透明基板1の上面に凹部41を設けないようにしてもよい。   In this semiconductor device, since a relatively large cavity 42 is formed between the central portion of the lower surface of the semiconductor structure 3 and the transparent substrate 1 at the portion facing the semiconductor substrate 3, the central portion of the lower surface of the silicon substrate 4 of the semiconductor structure 3 is formed. It is possible to reduce the stress on the photoelectric conversion device region 5 provided in. Note that the underfill material 15 may be provided only in the peripheral portion between the transparent substrate 1 and the semiconductor structure 3, and the concave portion 41 may not be provided on the upper surface of the transparent substrate 1.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 16 is a sectional view of a semiconductor device as a third embodiment of the present invention. This semiconductor device is different from the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 1 in that connection pad portions of a plurality of upper layer wirings 26 are arranged in a matrix on almost the entire surface of the upper layer insulating film 23, and a plurality of solder balls 29 are disposed on the overcoat film. 27 is arranged in a matrix on almost the entire surface.

図17はこの発明の第4実施形態としての半導体装置の断面図を示す。この半導体装置において、図1に示す半導体装置と大きく異なる点は、半導体構成体3の上面にハードシート22の一部を設けた点である。この場合、上層絶縁膜23および絶縁層21の開口部24に対応する部分におけるハードシート22には開口部43が設けられている。
(Fourth embodiment)
FIG. 17 is a sectional view of a semiconductor device as a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
