Description
本発明は、半導体チップと受動部品をひとつのパッケージに搭載した半導体装置に関するものであり、特に、小型・軽量化及び高機能・大容量化を目的とする半導体チップの3次元積層技術に係わるものである。 The present invention relates to a semiconductor device in which a semiconductor chip and passive components are mounted in one package, and particularly relates to a three-dimensional stacking technique of semiconductor chips for the purpose of miniaturization, weight reduction, high functionality, and large capacity. It is.
近年の電子機器の高機能化並びに軽薄短小化の要求に伴い、電子部品の高密度集積化、さらには高密度実装化が進んできている。これらの電子機器に使用される半導体パッケージは、小型化かつ多ピン化してきており、また、半導体パッケージを含めた電子部品を実装する、実装用基板も小型化してきている。さらには電子機器への収納性を高めるため、リジット基板とフレキシブル基板を積層し一体化して、折り曲げを可能としたリジットフレックス基板が、実装用基板として使われるようになってきている。 With recent demands for higher functionality and lighter, thinner and smaller electronic devices, electronic components have been increasingly integrated and densely packaged. Semiconductor packages used in these electronic devices have been reduced in size and increased in pin count, and mounting substrates on which electronic components including the semiconductor package are mounted have also been reduced in size. Furthermore, in order to improve the storage property in an electronic device, a rigid flex board that can be bent by laminating and integrating a rigid board and a flexible board has been used as a mounting board.
半導体パッケージはその小型化に伴って、従来のようなリードフレームを使用した形態のパッケージでは、小型化に限界がきているため、最近では回路基板上にチップを実装したものとして、BGA(Ball Grid Array)や、CSP(Chip Scale Package)と言った、エリア実装型の新しいパッケージ方式が提案されている。これらの半導体パッケージにおいて、半導体チップの電極と従来型半導体パッケージのリードフレームの機能を有する、半導体パッケージ用基板と呼ばれる、プラスチックやセラミックス等各種材料を使って構成される、サブストレートの端子との電気的接続方法として、ワイヤーボンディング方式やTAB(Tape Automated Bonding)方式、さらにはFC(Frip Chip)方式などが知られているが、最近では、半導体パッケージの小型化に有利なFC接続方式を用いた、BGAやCSPの構造が盛んに提案されている。 With the miniaturization of semiconductor packages, the conventional package using a lead frame has a limit on miniaturization. Therefore, recently, it is assumed that a chip is mounted on a circuit board, and BGA (Ball Grid) is used. Array) and a new area mounting type package system such as CSP (Chip Scale Package) have been proposed. In these semiconductor packages, the electrical connection between the electrodes of the semiconductor chip and the terminals of the substrate, which is made of various materials such as plastics and ceramics, called the semiconductor package substrate, has the function of the lead frame of the conventional semiconductor package. As a general connection method, a wire bonding method, a TAB (Tape Automated Bonding) method, and an FC (Flip Chip) method are known, but recently, an FC connection method advantageous for miniaturization of a semiconductor package has been used. BGA and CSP structures have been actively proposed.
しかしながら、上記工法では一つの半導体パッケージに対し半導体素子を一つしか収納できないため、半導体パッケージの小型化には自ずと限界がある。
加えて半導体素子が動作するために必要な受動素子を半導体パッケージの外部に配置するため、電子機器の小型化に限界が生じると共に、配線長が長くなるため高速信号を扱う場合には設計上の制約が大きくなってきている。
However, since the above method can accommodate only one semiconductor element in one semiconductor package, there is a limit to downsizing the semiconductor package.
In addition, since passive elements necessary for the operation of the semiconductor elements are arranged outside the semiconductor package, there is a limit to miniaturization of electronic devices, and the wiring length is long, so that high-speed signals are handled when designing. The constraints are getting bigger.
このため、半導体パッケージに受動素子を内蔵する検討が種々行われており、半導体パッケージ内部の半導体素子の周辺に受動素子を配置する方法(特許文献1)や半導体素子上に受動素子を形成する方法(特許文献2)が提案されているが、搭載できる小型化や受動素子数に限界があった。
本発明は、従来のこのような問題点を解決するためになされたもので、その目的とするところは、半導体パッケージの容積を抑えたまま受動態素子を多数内蔵した半導体パッケージを効率よく製造する方法を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made to solve such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to efficiently manufacture a semiconductor package containing a large number of passive elements while keeping the volume of the semiconductor package small. Is to provide.
発明者らは種々検討の結果、回路形成した基板の上に機能面が基板と正対する向きで受動素子を実装した後、研磨することにより、半導体パッケージに内蔵された際の受動素子の高さを抑制すると共に、実装ばらつきにより生じる基板上での受動素子同士の高さばらつきを均一にすることにより、複数の受動素子の上に半導体素子を搭載する技術を発明した。 As a result of various studies, the inventors have mounted a passive element on a circuit-formed substrate so that the functional surface faces the substrate, and then polishing the substrate to polish the height of the passive element when incorporated in a semiconductor package. Invented a technique for mounting a semiconductor element on a plurality of passive elements by suppressing the above-mentioned and making the height variations of the passive elements on the substrate caused by mounting variations uniform.

このような半導体装置の製造方法によれば、薄化処理により受動素子の高さを抑えるようにして、容積を抑えたままで容積を抑えたまま抵抗素子、薄膜コンデンサーなどの受動素子を多数内臓した半導体装置、すなわち半導体パッケージが得られる。 According to such a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the height of the passive element is suppressed by the thinning process, and a large number of passive elements such as a resistance element and a thin film capacitor are incorporated while the volume is suppressed while the volume is suppressed.

Therefore, the passive elements and the semiconductor elements are stacked and firmly bonded. It becomes possible. In addition, by providing a resin layer between the passive elements before performing the thinning step, problems such as chipping of the end portions of the passive elements are less likely to occur during thinning such as polishing. In addition, by providing a resin layer between the passive elements after the planarization treatment, a space generated after the semiconductor elements are stacked is filled in the absence of the resin layer, and the semiconductor elements are more firmly stacked. Adhesion is possible, and the reliability of the semiconductor device is improved.

In the description of the drawings, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same elements, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.
(半導体装置)
図1は、実施の形態に係る半導体装置の断面図を示す図であり、図2は、当該半導体装置を上面からみた透視図である。
図1に示したように、半導体装置10は、基板20と、基板20上に実装される複数の受動素子24と、受動素子24の表面に積層される半導体素子22とを含む。
(Semiconductor device)
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the semiconductor device as viewed from above.
As shown in FIG. 1, the
図2に示したように、受動素子24は基板20上で二次元的に平面的に配列されるように設けられている。
As shown in FIG. 2, the
基板20としては、プリント回路基板(PCB)などを用いることができる。また、受動素子24としては、素子の片面のみに機能面を有する受動素子であって、例えば裏面が研削可能な表面実装型の抵抗素子、薄層化が可能な薄膜コンデンサーが挙げられる。
As the
また、受動素子24の形成面32、例えば抵抗素子の抵抗回路形成面、薄膜コンデンサーの薄膜コンデンサー形成面が、基板20の回路形成面30と正対するように構成されることが好ましい。
Further, it is preferable that the
通常、受動素子24を実装すると、実装された受動素子の高さに差が出るなどの実装ばらつきが生じ、この実装ばらつきに起因して複数の受動素子の表面に安定した半導体素子の積層が困難であることが多い。そこで、受動素子24の表面に半導体素子22を積層するために、平坦化されていることが好ましい。すなわち、受動素子24の形成面32の裏面、すなわち半導体素子積層側の表面を研削するなどして薄化して、全部の受動素子24の高さを揃えるように構成することが好ましい。
Usually, when the
また、基板20と半導体素子22との間であって、受動素子24の間には間隙26が形成されている。この空隙には、樹脂が充填されていることが好ましい。このように間隙26を樹脂で充填するように構成することで、基板20と半導体素子22との間には空間が生じなくなるため、半導体素子22の積層の際に強固な接着を可能にして、半導体装置10の信頼性が向上する。
A
(半導体装置の製造方法)
半導体装置の製造方法の実施形態は、図3(a)に示したように、回路形成された基板20上に受動素子24を実装する実装工程と、図3(c)に示したように、実装された受動素子24を薄化して同じ高さまで平坦化する平坦化工程と、図3(d)に示したように、平坦化された受動素子24の表面に半導体素子22を積層する積層工程とを含んでいる。
(Method for manufacturing semiconductor device)
As shown in FIG. 3A, an embodiment of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes a mounting step of mounting a
本実施形態では、まず第一のステップとして、図3(a)に示したように、回路形成された基板20の上に所定の受動素子24を実装する。これに適用可能な受動素子は、表面実装型受動素子であり素子の片面のみに機能面を有する、抵抗素子及び薄膜コンデンサー素子である。セラミック積層コンデンサーについては容量が小さく電極を片側面に局所的に配置させた構造のものならば適用が可能である。
In the present embodiment, as a first step, a predetermined
また実装の方法としては、半田を用いた従来の表面実装技術を用いることが可能であり、そのほかには、導電ペーストを用いる方法、スタッドバンプを用いる方法などいかなる既存の方法も適用可能である。 As a mounting method, a conventional surface mounting technique using solder can be used. In addition, any existing method such as a method using a conductive paste or a method using a stud bump can be applied.
次のステップでは、図3(b),(c)に示したように、実装された受動素子24が薄化処理され平坦化される。
薄化処理の態様としては、研磨処理が挙げられるが、研磨処理の際には基板20の受動素子非実装面(裏面)31に基板保持用のテープ30を貼り、ディスク状の砥石32を用いて研磨するようにしてもよい。
In the next step, as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, the mounted
An example of the thinning process is a polishing process. At the time of the polishing process, a
また、薄化した受動素子の実装する態様としては、予め薄い支持体上に受動素子を形成して基板上に実装する方法、基板に実装する前に予め研削して薄化した受動素子を基板上に実装する方法などが挙げられる。 In addition, as a mode of mounting a thinned passive element, a method of forming a passive element on a thin support in advance and mounting it on a substrate, a passive element that has been ground and thinned before mounting on the substrate, The method of mounting on top is mentioned.
また、実装方法によっては基板の受動素子保持力が十分でなく、受動素子の脱落が発生する場合がある。このため、前記実装工程と前記平坦化工程との間に受動素子24間に樹脂層(図示さず)を形成する樹脂層形成工程を設けることが好ましい。これにより、研磨する前に実装された受動素子24間に樹脂を流し込むことにより回避することができる。
Further, depending on the mounting method, the passive element holding force of the substrate is not sufficient, and the passive element may drop off. For this reason, it is preferable to provide the resin layer formation process which forms a resin layer (not shown) between the
なお、このとき用いることのできる樹脂としては、エポキシ樹脂、ビスマレイミド・トリアジンレジン(BTレジン)などが挙げられる。 Examples of the resin that can be used at this time include an epoxy resin, a bismaleimide-triazine resin (BT resin), and the like.
次のステップでは、図3(d)に示したように、半導体素子22を半導体搭載用接着剤を用いて、研磨された受動素子24上に搭載するが、フィルム状接着剤・ペースト状接着剤のどちらも用いることができる。
In the next step, as shown in FIG. 3 (d), the
また、受動素子24の薄化処理を行う前に前記樹脂層を設けない場合には、前記平坦化工程と前記積層工程との間に、前記受動素子間に充填する樹脂充填工程を設けることが好ましい。これにより、半導体素子を積層するときに、受動素子24間に樹脂が充填されていない場合は、前述したようにペースト状接着剤を用いて半導体素子を研磨処理済み受動素子24に接着固定すると共に、受動素子24の間を樹脂で充填することが望ましい。このように受動素子24の間に生じる間隙26を樹脂で充填するように構成することで、基板20と半導体素子22との間には空間が生じなくなるため、半導体素子22の積層の際に強固な接着を可能にして、半導体装置10の耐久性が向上する。なお、ここで用いることのできる樹脂としても、上述したものが挙げられる。
Further, when the resin layer is not provided before the thinning process of the
次のステップでは、図3(e)に示したように、ワイヤーボンディング方式、TAB(tape automated bonding)方式などの手法により半導体素子22がボンディングワイヤ36を介して基板20と接続される。その後に、図3(f)に示したように、封止樹脂38により封止されることにより半導体装置となる。
In the next step, as shown in FIG. 3E, the
また、半導体素子の上にさらに半導体素子を搭載しワイヤーボンディングなどの手法で基板と接続した後、封止樹脂で封止することも可能である。具体的には、図4に示したように、基板20の回路形成面上に受動素子24を実装し、さらに当該受動素子24の表面に半導体素子22を積層させて、さらに第2半導体素子42を積層させて、基板20と半導体素子22との間をボンディングワイヤ44で接続し、さらに半導体素子22と第2半導体素子42との間をボンディングワイヤ46で接続し、さらに受動素子24間の間隙を樹脂にて封止してなる半導体装置40の構成をとることもできる。
It is also possible to mount a semiconductor element on the semiconductor element, connect it to the substrate by a technique such as wire bonding, and then seal with a sealing resin. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the
上記の発明を用いて、半導体素子と受動素子を積層すれば、半導体パッケージの容積を抑制したまま受動素子を内蔵した半導体パッケージを効率よく製造することができる。 If a semiconductor element and a passive element are stacked using the above invention, a semiconductor package incorporating a passive element can be efficiently manufactured while suppressing the volume of the semiconductor package.
以上、本発明に係る半導体装置およびその製造方法の実施形態について説明したが、本発明の目的の範囲内で適宜変更可能である。
例えば、複数の受動素子を基板上に配置した例を示したが、これに限定されることはなく、少なくともひとつの受動素子および能動素子を混在させても差し支えない。
Although the embodiments of the semiconductor device and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention have been described above, the embodiments can be appropriately changed within the scope of the object of the present invention.
For example, although an example in which a plurality of passive elements are arranged on the substrate has been shown, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least one passive element and active element may be mixed.
また、受動素子と受動素子との間の間隙の全てを樹脂で充填する例を説明したが、これに限定されることはなく、当該間隙に例えば能動素子を配置して、その能動素子が占める空間以外の空間を樹脂で充填するようにしてもよい。これにより、受動素子間に生じるデッドスペースの有効利用を図ることができるようになる。 Further, the example in which the entire gap between the passive element and the passive element is filled with the resin has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an active element is disposed in the gap and the active element occupies the gap. A space other than the space may be filled with resin. This makes it possible to effectively use the dead space generated between the passive elements.
以下に、本発明の実施形態の一例を詳細に説明する。なお、本発明は、これにより限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. In addition, this invention is not limited by this.

Polished until At this time, the variation in height of the polished surface of each 0603 resistor was 2 μm or less.
次に、予め半導体素子機能面裏側にフィルム状接着剤(住友ベークライト(株)製IBF−X8520)を貼り付けた4mm角の半導体素子を0603抵抗の研磨面に貼り付け、180℃1時間加熱することにより接着剤を硬化させた。 Next, a 4 mm square semiconductor element in which a film adhesive (IBF-X8520 manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.) is pasted on the back side of the functional surface of the semiconductor element is pasted on the polished surface of 0603 resistor and heated at 180 ° C. for 1 hour. The adhesive was cured.
次にワイヤーボンディングの手法により、半導体素子とプリント配線板を接続した後、半導体素子と0603抵抗をトランスファーモールドの手法により封止樹脂で封止した。 Next, after connecting a semiconductor element and a printed wiring board by the method of wire bonding, the semiconductor element and 0603 resistance were sealed with sealing resin by the method of transfer molding.
このようにして得られた、0603抵抗内蔵半導体装置は動作確認試験に供せられ半導体装置としての動作に何の問題のないことが確認された。 The 0603 resistor built-in semiconductor device obtained in this way was subjected to an operation check test, and it was confirmed that there was no problem in the operation as a semiconductor device.
