Package substrate with embedded through-hole interposer and its manufacturing method
The present invention relates to a packaging substrate and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a packaging substrate embedded with a through-hole interposer and a manufacturing method thereof.
With the vigorous development of the electronics industry, electronic products tend to be lighter, thinner, shorter and smaller in terms of function, and gradually enter the direction of high-performance, high-function, and high-speed research and development. Please refer to FIG. 1A, which is a schematic cross-sectional view of a conventional flip-chip package structure.
As shown in Figure 1A, the process of the package structure first provides a bismaleimide-triazine (Bismaleimide-Triazine, BT) package with a core board 102, a first surface 10a and a second surface 10b The substrate 10 has flip chip solder pads 100 on the first surface 10a of the package substrate 10; then the electrical connection pads 120 of the semiconductor chip 12 are electrically connected by solder bumps 11; A primer 17 is formed between a surface 10a and the semiconductor chip 12 to cover the solder bumps 11; and a second surface 10b of the packaging substrate 10 has a ball pad 101 to be electrically connected by solder balls 13 For example, another electronic device (not shown in the figure) such as a printed circuit board.
However, since the semiconductor chip 12 is a process with a size of 45nm or less, in the back-end process (Back-End Of Line, BEOL), ultra-low-k dielectric (ELK) or ultra-low-k dielectric will be used. Low dielectric constant (Ultra low-k, ULK) dielectric material, but the low-k dielectric material is porous and fragile, so that after flip chip packaging, the reliability thermal cycle test will be affected by The thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) difference between the packaging substrate 10 and the semiconductor chip 12 is too large, causing the solder bump 11 to be easily cracked due to uneven thermal stress, causing the semiconductor chip 12 to crack, resulting in a product Poor reliability.
Furthermore, as electronic products become more lightweight, thinner, shorter, and more functional, the wiring density of the semiconductor chip 12 is getting higher and higher, and the unit is nanometer size. Therefore, the spacing between the electrical connection pads 120 However, the distance between the flip chip pads 100 of the conventional package substrate 10 is measured in micrometers, and cannot be effectively reduced to the size corresponding to the distance between the electrical connection pads 120, resulting in a semiconductor with high circuit density The chip 12 does not have a compatible packaging substrate, so that it is impossible to effectively produce electronic products.
Please refer to Fig. 1B. In order to overcome the above-mentioned problem, a silicon interposer 14 is added between the package substrate 10 and the semiconductor chip 12'. The silicon interposer 14 has a Through-silicon via. TSV) 140 and a redistribution layer (RDL) 141 arranged on the top of the silicon via 140, so that the bottom of the silicon via 140 is electrically connected to the package substrate 10 with a larger pitch through the conductive bumps 142 Flip-chip soldering pad 100, and the uppermost circuit of the circuit redistribution layer 141 has electrode pads 1410 to electrically connect the electrical connection pads 120' of the semiconductor chip 12' with a smaller pitch through solder bumps 11', and then The packaging compound 18 is formed so that the packaging substrate 10 can be combined with the semiconductor chip 12' with high wiring density electrical connection pads 120', so as to achieve the purpose of integrating the semiconductor chip 12' with high wiring density. Therefore, the silicon interposer 14 not only solves the problem of lack of compatible packaging substrates, but also does not change the original supply chain and infrastructure of the IC industry.
Furthermore, by providing the semiconductor chip 12' on the silicon interposer 14, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the silicon interposer 14 is the same as the thermal expansion coefficient of the semiconductor chip 12' (CET is 2.6 ppm), the semiconductor The solder bump 11' between the chip 12' and the silicon interposer 14 is broken, which effectively improves the reliability of the product.
However, although the silicon interposer 14 solves the matching problem between the semiconductor chip 12 and the package substrate 10, the increase in the thickness of the silicon interposer 14 results in an increase in the thickness of the overall structure, which cannot meet the thinning requirements. The demand.
Furthermore, after the silicon interposer 14 is completed, conductive bumps 142 need to be fabricated to bond with the package substrate 10. Because the conductive bumps 142 need to be polished to a thickness of less than 100 microns, the conductive bumps 142 must be polished. , And the equipment and materials using thin wafers are very expensive, resulting in a substantial increase in cost, which is not conducive to mass production.
