Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that a package size cannot be further miniaturized in a package structure where a compound semiconductor chip sticks to the island of a punching frame and is subjected to resin molding. SOLUTION: A ship is stuck onto an insulating substrate, and CSP is achieved. The CSP has a radiation shape where a conductive pattern is extended from the lower portion of the chip to an external connection electrode. In this case, the distance from the chip to a post can be shortened, thus decreasing an inductance constituent, improving insertion loss characteristics, and reducing costs. If it is a switch circuit device, a structure for breaking an RF content by a lead connected to the GND can be achieved, thus improving the isolation and high-frequency characteristics.

In the conventional package structure of a compound semiconductor switch circuit device, a lead frame adapted to a large chip size is used because it is necessary to be used for semiconductor chips of various sizes for general use. It was Therefore, firstly, in a small chip, there is a problem that the distance to the lead is long and the gold wire of the wire bond becomes long. A long gold wire not only increases the inductance component but also increases the dielectric loss (loss due to the generation of overcurrent in the molding resin) and increases the insertion loss. It was. Furthermore, high-frequency leakage through the resin becomes large, which is a cause of deterioration of isolation characteristics.

Further, if the lead frame adapted to the individual size is adopted, the cost is increased accordingly. At present, the performance of silicon semiconductor chips has been remarkably improved, and the possibility of use in the high frequency band is increasing. For example, a local oscillation circuit using a silicon semiconductor transistor having an f T (cutoff frequency) of 25 GHz or more can achieve performance close to that of a local oscillation circuit using a GaAs FET by devising an application circuit. In the past, silicon chips were difficult to use in the high frequency band, and expensive compound semiconductor chips were used.However, if the performance of silicon semiconductor chips is improved and it is possible to use them, the wafer itself will naturally be an expensive compound semiconductor. Chips lose in price competition. Further, even if the compound semiconductor chip is downsized and the cost is reduced, the advantage of the downsized chip will not be exhibited at all even if the package outer shape is large. Therefore, downsizing of the package is strongly desired.

The degree is adjusted to be covered. This thickness is
It can be made thicker or thinner in consideration of strength. Further, the surface of the insulating resin 21 is flattened by annealing. This is because, particularly when the insulating resin 21 is formed to have a large area, the coefficient of thermal expansion between the conductive foil 30 which is the material of the lead 22 and the molding resin which forms the insulating resin 21 and after the reflow process. The conductive foil 30 is warped due to the difference in molding shrinkage ratio when the temperature decreases. That is, the surface of the insulating resin 21 is flattened by annealing in order to suppress the occurrence of warpage.

A portion indicated by a dotted line is one package region 10, and a large number of conductive patterns 22 are arranged in a matrix in one block 32. For the conductive pattern 22, at least the region other than where the conductive pattern 22 is formed is etched to form the separation groove 31 to form the conductive pattern 22. The material of the conductive foil 30 is selected in consideration of the adhesiveness, the bonding property, and the plating property of the brazing material, and the material is a conductive foil mainly composed of Cu, a conductive foil mainly composed of Al or Fe. -Ni
A conductive foil or the like made of an alloy such as is used.

Further, since the conductive pattern 22 can be formed by etching, the inter-pattern distance is significantly increased as compared with the conventional punching frame in which the frame thickness (150 μm) × 0.8 is the limit of the inter-pattern distance. The feature of the second embodiment that can be reduced in size and greatly contributes to the miniaturization of the package is that the conductive foil 30 serving as the conductive pattern 22 serves as a support substrate until the insulating resin 21 is covered. The conductive foil 30 serving as a supporting substrate is a material required as an electrode material. Therefore, there is a merit that the constituent materials can be omitted as much as possible, and the cost can be reduced.

Further, since the separation groove 31 is formed to be shallower than the thickness of the conductive foil 30, the conductive foil 30 is not individually separated as the conductive pattern 22. Therefore, the sheet-shaped conductive foil 30 can be handled as a unit, and the insulating resin 21
In this embodiment, the conductive foil 30 has been described in the present embodiment, but the substrate is a silicon wafer or a ceramic substrate. The same applies to the case of using a material such as a copper frame.

As a result, the package of the compound semiconductor chip can be miniaturized, and the length of the bonding wire can be greatly shortened as compared with the conventional one, so that the high frequency characteristics can be greatly improved. Further, this effect becomes more remarkable in the high frequency band of 10 GHz or higher.

As a result, first, all the bonding wires used for connection can be made to have substantially the same length with the minimum required length. As a result, the inductance component of the gold wire and the dielectric loss (loss due to the generation of overcurrent in the resin) can be reduced, so that the Insertion Loss
The characteristics are improved. This is because the leads are all provided below the semiconductor chip at positions corresponding to the electrode pads, and the wire bond posts can be located close to the chip. Further, if the bonding wire is short, the high frequency leakage through the resin is reduced and the isolation characteristic is improved.

Secondly, since the minimum interval between patterns can be reduced, the miniaturization of the package can be realized also by this. Conventionally, a punching frame has been adopted, and the limit when punching by stamping is the plate thickness x 0.8.
This is because the pattern can be formed by thick film printing by plating or etching of the conductive foil in the present invention. Specifically, in the case of the frame 120μ
The minimum distance, which was m, can be reduced to 75 μm, which can greatly contribute to miniaturization of the package.

Third, even if the size of the semiconductor chip to be mounted is changed, the same conductive pattern can be used, and the bonding wires used for connection can always be made to have substantially the same length with the minimum required length. . This is because the pattern is formed radially and extends under the chip, so that the distance from each pad electrode to the lead can be made substantially constant regardless of the chip size. This allows
Since it is not necessary to prepare a pattern for each chip size and the bonding wire is not wastefully used, it also contributes to cost reduction.
