Description

本発明は半導体装置に係り、特に、WLCSP(Wafer Level Chip Size Package)の半導体装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a semiconductor device of WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip Size Package).

携帯電話やメモリカード等の小型機器には、実装したときの高さが低くなる半導体装置が使用されている。この要求を満たす半導体装置は、表面実装タイプであり、その中の一つとしてWLCSP型であってランドグリッドアレイ型である半導体装置がある。   Small devices such as mobile phones and memory cards use semiconductor devices that have a low height when mounted. A semiconductor device satisfying this requirement is a surface mount type, and one of them is a WLCSP type and a land grid array type semiconductor device.

図4は従来のWLCSP型であってランドグリッドアレイ型である半導体装置1を示す。半導体装置1は、下面に集積回路部2が形成してある半導体チップ3の下面に銅製の電極ポスト4が配置してあり、半導体チップ3の下面がモールド樹脂膜5で覆われており、各ポスト4の端面4aに半田バンプ6が形成してある構成である。   FIG. 4 shows a semiconductor device 1 of a conventional WLCSP type and a land grid array type. In the semiconductor device 1, copper electrode posts 4 are disposed on the lower surface of the semiconductor chip 3 on which the integrated circuit portion 2 is formed on the lower surface, and the lower surface of the semiconductor chip 3 is covered with the mold resin film 5. In this configuration, solder bumps 6 are formed on the end surface 4 a of the post 4.

この半導体装置1は、図5に示すように、半田バンプ6をランド11と半田付けして、且つ、必要に応じて下面側をアンダーフィル12で埋めて、実装基板10上に実装してある。15は半田部である。
特開2004−296775号公報
As shown in FIG. 5, the semiconductor device 1 is mounted on a mounting substrate 10 by soldering solder bumps 6 to lands 11 and filling the lower surface side with underfill 12 as necessary. . Reference numeral 15 denotes a solder portion.
JP 2004-296775 A

この半導体装置1は、実装状態では実装基板10の上面から寸法S浮いた状態にあり、この浮き分が、実装高さH1を無用に高くしていた。   The semiconductor device 1 is in a state where the dimension S is lifted from the upper surface of the mounting substrate 10 in the mounted state, and this floating portion unnecessarily increases the mounting height H1.

そこで、本発明は、上記課題を解決した半導体装置を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device that solves the above-described problems.

本発明は、下面に集積回路部を有する半導体チップと、該半導体チップの下面に並んでおり、前記集積回路部と電気的に接続されて立っている複数の導電性のポストと、該半導体チップの下面を覆っている絶縁性の保護膜と、各ポストの端面上に形成してある外部端子としての半田部とを有し、
該半田部によって、実装基板上に実装される半導体装置において、
前記ポストは、その端面が前記保護膜の面より凹んでいる凹部を有する構成であり、
前記半田部が、この凹部に設けてある構成としたことを特徴とする。
The present invention includes a semiconductor chip having an integrated circuit portion on a lower surface, a plurality of conductive posts arranged on the lower surface of the semiconductor chip and electrically connected to the integrated circuit portion, and the semiconductor chip Insulating protective film covering the lower surface of each and a solder part as an external terminal formed on the end face of each post,
In the semiconductor device mounted on the mounting substrate by the solder portion,
The post is configured to have a recess whose end surface is recessed from the surface of the protective film,
The solder portion is provided in the concave portion.

本発明によれば、半導体装置は、凹部内に、実装基板上のランドが相対的に入り込んだ状態となって半田部がランドと接合されて、且つ保護膜が実装基板の上面に当接した状態で、実装高さを低くされて実装されるようになる。   According to the present invention, in the semiconductor device, the land on the mounting substrate relatively enters the recess, the solder portion is bonded to the land, and the protective film is in contact with the upper surface of the mounting substrate. In the state, the mounting height is lowered and mounting is started.

次に本発明の実施の形態について説明する。   Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

図1は本発明の実施例1になる半導体装置20を実装するときの姿勢で示す。この半導体装置20は、WLCSP型であってランドグリッドアレイ型である。半導体装置20は、完成したウェハから切りだされたものであって、下面に集積回路部22が形成してある半導体チップ21と、パッシベーションSiN膜24と、アルミニウムパッド25と、ポリイミド膜26と、引き出し端子27と、立っている銅製の電極ポスト28と、保護膜としてのモールド樹脂膜29と、外部端子としての半田部30とを有する構成である。   FIG. 1 shows a posture when the semiconductor device 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is mounted. The semiconductor device 20 is a WLCSP type and a land grid array type. The semiconductor device 20 is cut from a completed wafer, and includes a semiconductor chip 21 having an integrated circuit portion 22 formed on the lower surface, a passivation SiN film 24, an aluminum pad 25, a polyimide film 26, The lead terminal 27, a standing copper electrode post 28, a mold resin film 29 as a protective film, and a solder portion 30 as an external terminal.

集積回路部22の一部と半田部30とは、アルミニウムパッド25、引き出し端子27、電極ポスト28を介して電気的に接続している。   A part of the integrated circuit portion 22 and the solder portion 30 are electrically connected via an aluminum pad 25, a lead terminal 27, and an electrode post 28.

パッシベーションSiN膜24及びポリイミド膜26は、集積回路部22を覆っている。モールド樹脂膜29は引き出し端子27を覆っている。電極ポスト28は、歪むことによって、半導体装置20が実装されて使用されている状態で半導体チップ23と実装基板10との熱膨張係数のミスマッチに起因して発生する熱応力を吸収する役割りを有する。   The passivation SiN film 24 and the polyimide film 26 cover the integrated circuit portion 22. The mold resin film 29 covers the lead terminals 27. The electrode post 28 serves to absorb thermal stress generated due to a mismatch in thermal expansion coefficient between the semiconductor chip 23 and the mounting substrate 10 when the semiconductor device 20 is mounted and used by being distorted. Have.

ポスト28は、その端に、球面状の凹部28aを有する。よって、電極ポスト28の端は、モールド樹脂膜29の面29aに対して凹んでいる。また、電極ポスト28の径Dは、実装基板10上のランド11の大きさよりも大きい。   The post 28 has a spherical recess 28a at its end. Therefore, the end of the electrode post 28 is recessed with respect to the surface 29 a of the mold resin film 29. Further, the diameter D of the electrode post 28 is larger than the size of the land 11 on the mounting substrate 10.

半田部30は、ポスト28の端の凹部28aの内部に設けてある。なお、半田部30はポスト28の端の凹部28a内に設けてあればよく、モールド樹脂膜29の面29aから少し突き出ていてもよい。   The solder portion 30 is provided inside the recess 28 a at the end of the post 28. In addition, the solder part 30 should just be provided in the recessed part 28a of the edge of the post | mailbox 28, and may protrude a little from the surface 29a of the mold resin film 29. FIG.

図2は上記の構成の半導体装置20が実装基板10上に表面実装してある状態を示す。12は配線パターン、13は半田レジストである。ランド11は半田レジスト13より若干突き出ている。半導体装置20は、半田部30がランド11に対向するように実装基板10上に仮止めされ、リフロー炉を通って実装される。30Aは一旦溶融して凝固した半田部である。   FIG. 2 shows a state where the semiconductor device 20 having the above configuration is surface-mounted on the mounting substrate 10. 12 is a wiring pattern and 13 is a solder resist. The land 11 protrudes slightly from the solder resist 13. The semiconductor device 20 is temporarily fixed on the mounting substrate 10 so that the solder part 30 faces the land 11 and is mounted through a reflow furnace. Reference numeral 30A denotes a solder portion which is once melted and solidified.

半導体装置20は、ランド11が凹部28a内に相対的に入り込んでおり、モールド樹脂膜29の面29aが実装基板10に当接している。半田部30Aは、ランド11を包み込んでいる。   In the semiconductor device 20, the land 11 relatively enters the recess 28 a, and the surface 29 a of the mold resin film 29 is in contact with the mounting substrate 10. The solder part 30 </ b> A surrounds the land 11.

半導体装置20は実装基板10から実質上浮いていず、よって、実装高さH10は従来の半導体装置1の実装高さH1よりも低い。また、実装高さH10のバラツキも小さい。   The semiconductor device 20 is not substantially lifted from the mounting substrate 10, and therefore the mounting height H <b> 10 is lower than the mounting height H <b> 1 of the conventional semiconductor device 1. Further, the variation in the mounting height H10 is small.

半田部30Aの電極ポスト28との接合界面40は球面であるので、半田部30Aと電極ポスト28との接合面の面積は、従来に比較して広くなり、しかも、立体的となるので、半田部30Aは電極ポスト28から剥離し難い。   Since the bonding interface 40 between the solder portion 30A and the electrode post 28 is a spherical surface, the area of the bonding surface between the solder portion 30A and the electrode post 28 is larger than that of the conventional case and moreover, it is three-dimensional. The portion 30A is difficult to peel off from the electrode post 28.

また、半田部30Aの電極ポスト28の外へのはみ出し量が少なくなり、ブリッヂ不良が生じ難い。   In addition, the amount of protrusion of the solder portion 30A to the outside of the electrode post 28 is reduced, and a bridge failure is unlikely to occur.

よって、半導体装置20の半田部30と実装基板10上のランド11との接続部分は、従来に比較して高い信頼性を有する。   Therefore, the connection portion between the solder portion 30 of the semiconductor device 20 and the land 11 on the mounting substrate 10 has higher reliability than the conventional one.

次に、上記半導体装置20の製造工程について、図3を参照して説明する。   Next, the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

先ず、図3(A)に示すように、所定位置にアルミニウムパッド25を有するウェハ40の集積回路等が作り込まれた上面にパッシベーションSiN膜22を形成し、続いて、同図(B)に示すように、ポリイミド膜26を塗布して形成する。   First, as shown in FIG. 3A, a passivation SiN film 22 is formed on the upper surface of the wafer 40 having an aluminum pad 25 at a predetermined position on which an integrated circuit or the like is formed, and then in FIG. As shown, a polyimide film 26 is applied and formed.

次いで、同図(C)に示すように、ポリイミド膜26上に引き出し端子27をアルミニウムパッド25と接続させて配置して形成する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 3C, lead terminals 27 are formed on the polyimide film 26 so as to be connected to the aluminum pads 25.

次いで、同図(D)に示すように、メッキによって、引き出し端子27の端に、電極ポスト28Aを形成する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 4D, electrode posts 28A are formed on the ends of the lead terminals 27 by plating.

次いで、同図(E)に示すように、ウェハ40の上面を樹脂封止してモールド樹脂膜29Aを形成し、次いで、モールド樹脂膜29Aの表面を研摩して、同図(F)に示すように、電極ポスト28Aの平らな端面28Aaが露出するようにする。モールド樹脂膜29Aはモールド樹脂膜29となる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 5E, the upper surface of the wafer 40 is resin-sealed to form a mold resin film 29A, and then the surface of the mold resin film 29A is polished, and shown in FIG. Thus, the flat end face 28Aa of the electrode post 28A is exposed. The mold resin film 29A becomes the mold resin film 29.

次いで、電極ポスト28Aの端面28Aaに対してエッチングを行い、同図(G)に示すように、球面状の凹部28aを形成する。電極ポスト28Aは電極ポスト28となる。   Next, the end face 28Aa of the electrode post 28A is etched to form a spherical recess 28a as shown in FIG. The electrode post 28 </ b> A becomes the electrode post 28.

次いで、開口が電極ポスト28に対応して形成してあるマスクを使用して印刷を行ってクリーム半田を全部の凹部28a内に埋め、リフロー炉を通して、同図(H)に示すように、全部の凹部28a内に半田部30を形成する。   Next, printing is performed using a mask in which openings are formed corresponding to the electrode posts 28, so that the cream solder is filled in all the recesses 28a, and then, through a reflow furnace, as shown in FIG. The solder part 30 is formed in the recess 28a.

印刷、リフローに代えて、凹部28aの面にメッキを行うことにより、或いは、半田ボールを凹部28a内に置いてリフローすることによっても、半田部30を形成することが出来る。   Instead of printing and reflow, the solder portion 30 can be formed by plating the surface of the recess 28a or by reflowing by placing a solder ball in the recess 28a.

最後に、同図(H)に示すように、ウェハ40をテープ50上に貼り付け、ウェハ40をダイシングすることで、個片化され、半導体装置20が得られる。   Finally, as shown in FIG. 6H, the wafer 40 is bonded onto the tape 50, and the wafer 40 is diced to obtain the semiconductor device 20.
