Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、半導体パッケージ用基板の製造方法とその方法を用いた半導体パッケージの製造方法及びこれらの方法を用いた半導体パッケージ用基板と半導体パッケージに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、半導体チップを搭載する箇所に、キャビティを有し、そのキャビティ内に半導体チップと接続する内部接続端子を有する半導体パッケージ用基板の製造方法においては、図4(a)に示すように、キャビティとなる開口部を有する基板110を、キャビティの内側となる箇所に少なくとも半導体チップと接続する内部接続端子121を有する基板120の上に重ね、さらにそのキャビティとなる開口部を有する基板110の上に、銅箔105を貼り合わせた基板であって内部接続端子121を保護するための基板100を重ねて積層接着し、図4(b)に示すように、スルーホールとなる穴130をあけ、図4(c)に示すように、穴130の内壁を金属化してスルーホール131とし、銅箔105の不要な箇所をエッチング除去して外層回路126を形成した後に、図4(d)に示すように、内部接続端子121を保護するための基板100に、キャビティを形成するための開口部をザグリ加工などで形成し、外層回路126の表面にソルダーレジスト127を形成し、キャビティ内に露出した内部接続端子121の表面に、接続を強化するためのめっき122を行うことが知られている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このような半導体パッケージ用基板の製造は、キャビティを形成するための開口部をザグリ加工で形成すると、ザグリ加工のときの加工誤差があるので、その加工誤差分を、図4(e)や図4(f)に示すように、接続端子121の面積を広くしたり、外層回路126の形成を避けなければならないので、近年の発達に伴う半導体パッケージの小型化にはあまり適していないという課題がある。
【0004】
更に、外層回路126にも内部接続端子121と同じ種類の、接続を強化するためのめっき122を行うことがあり、その場合には、外層回路126とめっき電極との距離と、内部接続端子121とめっき電極との距離が異なるため、めっきの膜厚バラツキが大きく、内部接続端子121上のめっき厚さは薄く、外層回路126上のめっき厚さは厚くなる傾向があり、内部接続端子121のワイヤボンディング性が低下し、外層回路126の半田接続信頼性が低下するという課題がある。
【0005】
本発明は、小型化にすぐれ、外層回路にも内部接続端子と同じ種類の、接続を強化するめっきを行う場合でも、めっきの膜厚のばらつきが少なく、内部接続端子のワイヤボンディング性に優れ、かつ外部接続端子の接続信頼性に優れた半導体パッケージ用基板の製造方法とその方法を用いた半導体パッケージの製造方法及びこれらの方法を用いた半導体パッケージ用基板と半導体パッケージを提供することを目的とする。

【発明の実施の形態】
本発明によって、半導体チップを搭載する箇所に、キャビティを有し、そのキャビティ内に半導体チップと接続する内部接続端子を有する半導体パッケージ用基板を製造するには、図1(a)に示すように、キャビティとなる開口部を有すると共に銅箔15を有する基板10を、キャビティの内側となる箇所に少なくとも半導体チップと接続する内部接続端子21を有する基板20の上に重ねて積層接着し、図1(b)に示すように、銅箔15の表面に保護膜13を形成し、キャビティ内に露出した内部接続端子21の表面に接続を強化するためのめっき22を行い、図1(c)に示すように、銅箔15の表面の保護膜13を除去し、スルーホール31となる穴30をあけ、図1(d)に示すように、穴30の内壁とキャビティの内壁とを金属化して、スルーホール31を形成して、図1(e)に示すように、銅箔15の不要な箇所とキャビティ内の不要な金属とをエッチング除去して、外層回路26を形成することと、内部接続端子21の露出とを行うことができる。
この外層回路26は、上記の説明では、キャビティとなる開口部を有する基板10に貼り合わされた銅箔15を加工して形成しているが、銅箔15は、かならずしもキャビティとなる開口部を有する基板10の側に貼り合わされていなくてもよく、図3(a)に示すように、内部接続端子を有する基板20に貼り合わされていてもよく、また、図3(b)に示すように、その両方の基板に貼り合わされていてもよい。
また、キャビティの内側となる箇所に少なくとも半導体チップと接続する内部接続端子21を有する基板20は、図3(c)に示すように、複数枚であってもよく、その場合には、下の基板201の内部接続端子21が露出するように、上の基板202に開口部を設けなければならない。
【0008】
この半導体パッケージ用基板には、キャビティの内側となる箇所に少なくとも半導体チップと接続する内部接続端子21を有する基板20の裏面に、図3(d)に示すように、半導体チップの放熱のためのヒートシンク41を貼り合わせることができ、さらに、図3(e)に示すように、基板20に開口部を設け、半導体チップを搭載する箇所に直接ヒートシンク41が露出するように構成することもできる。このヒートシンク41の形状は、図3(d)に示すような金属板でもよく、また、図3(e)に示すような突出部を有するものでもよい。
【0009】
本発明の、キャビティとなる開口部を有すると共に銅箔15を有する基板10には、配線板に通常に使用する銅張り積層板を用いることができ、キャビティとなる開口部は、金型による打ち抜き、あるいは、ルータによる加工などによって形成することができる。
【0010】
キャビティの内側となる箇所に少なくとも半導体チップと接続する内部接続端子21を有する基板20には、上記のキャビティとなる開口部を有すると共に銅箔15を有する基板10と同様に、配線板に通常に使用する銅張り積層板を用いることができ、内部接続端子21は、その銅張り積層板の銅箔の上に内部接続端子21の形状にエッチングレジストを形成して、不要な箇所をエッチング除去して形成することができる。
【0011】
これらの基板を重ねて積層接着するには、基板の間に、例えば、ガラス布に熱硬化性樹脂を含浸し、加熱・乾燥して、半硬化状にしたプリプレグや、ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルム上に熱硬化性樹脂を塗布し、加熱・乾燥してドライフィルム状にした、接着シート16をはさみ、加熱・加圧して積層一体化するなどして行うことができる。
【0012】
銅箔の表面に形成する保護膜13には、通常配線板に用いている、めっきレジストと呼ばれる樹脂層を形成することが好ましく、このようなめっきレジストは、エポキシ樹脂のような熱硬化性樹脂を主成分とし、硬化剤、硬化促進剤を含む樹脂組成物を溶剤に混合したインク様のものや、そのような溶液を、ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムなどの離型性を有するフィルムの上に塗布し、加熱・乾燥して半硬化状にしたドライフィルム状のものを用いる。インク様の溶液は、スクリーン印刷法によって印刷して必要な形状に保護膜を形成することができる。ドライフィルム状のものは、通常は、硬化剤が光照射によって硬化するものが主流で、被めっき体にラミネートし、形成する形状に光を透過するフォトマスクを重ねて光照射し、露光しなかった部分を現像液で除去することによって保護膜13を形成することができる。
【0013】
キャビティ内に露出した内部接続端子21の表面に接続を強化するためのめっき22には、ニッケル、金、はんだ、白金、パラジウムなどがあり、ワイヤボンディングなどのためには、ニッケル下地めっきの上に、金、あるいはパラジウム/金のめっきを行うことが好ましい。
このときのニッケル下地めっきの厚さは、1μm以上であることが好ましく、これより薄いとニッケルめっきによる硬度が不足し、ワイヤボンディング性が低下する。上限は特にないが、20μmを越えるとめっき時間が長くなるがワイヤボンディング性はそれに比例して向上するわけでなく、経済的でない。より好ましくは、5μm以上である。
その上に行う金めっきの厚さは、0.1μm以上であることが好ましく、これより薄いとボンディングワイヤとの接続強度が不足し、ワイヤボンディング性が低下する。上限は特にないが、2μmを越えるとめっき時間が長くなるがワイヤボンディング性はそれに比例して向上するわけでなく、経済的でない。より好ましくは、0.5μm以上である。さらには、ニッケル下地めっきの上に、パラジウムめっきを行った後に、金めっきを行うとワイヤボンディンブした接続箇所の接続信頼性を高めることができ好ましい。このときのそれぞれのめっきの厚さは、合計で0.1μm以上であることが好ましく、より好ましくは0.5μm以上である。理由は、金めっきだけの場合と同じであり、上限も、同様に2μmを越えると経済的でない。
この接続を強化するためのめっき22は、無電解めっきでも、電解めっきでも行うことができ、このような無電解めっきは、めっきする金属のイオン源と、錯化剤、還元剤、pH調整剤、安定性を改善する添加剤などから構成されている。めっきに先だって、被めっき体にパラジウムなどのめっき用触媒を付与し、続いて、上記のような無電解めっき液に浸漬することによって行うことができる。さらに、ニッケル下地めっきを行った表面に、金、あるいはパラジウム/金めっきを行うときには、下地めっきのニッケルがめっき用触媒の働きをするので、めっき用触媒を不要する必要はない。電解めっきの場合には、内部接続端子21と接続された電極用リードを設け、めっきした後の工程で、これを切断する工程を設けなければならない。
【0014】
銅箔15の表面に形成した保護膜13を除去するには、メチルエチルケトンなどのような溶剤に浸漬する方法や、水酸化ナトリウムの水溶液のようなアルカリ性の水溶液をスプレー噴霧して除去することができる。
【0015】
スルーホール31となる穴30をあけるには、ドリルを用い、予め登録した穴径や位置によって、ドリルの直径を選択し、指定された位置までドリルヘッドを移動し、その位置でドリルを回転させながらドリルヘッドを降下させる、数値制御されたドリルマシンで行うことが好ましい。
【0016】
穴30の内壁を金属化するには、無電解めっきあるいは、無電解めっきと電解めっきで行うことが好ましく、特に銅めっきが接続抵抗が小さく経済的であることからより好ましい。このような無電解めっきは、めっきする金属のイオン源と、錯化剤、還元剤、pH調整剤、安定性を改善する添加剤などから構成されている。めっきに先だって、被めっき体にパラジウムなどのめっき用触媒を付与し、続いて、上記のような無電解めっき液に浸漬することによって行うことができる。この無電解めっきは、厚さ1〜25μmの範囲で行うことが好ましく、厚さが1μm未満であると、わずかのめっき厚さのばらつきで導体抵抗が高くなりやすく好ましくない。この厚さが25μmを越えても特性上では特に問題とならないが、無電解めっきそのものが析出速度が低いことから、長時間を要し、経済的でない。厚さを必要とする場合には、無電解めっきで電流が流れる程度に薄く、例えば、0.1〜2μm程度に析出させ、その上に電解めっきを用いて行うのが効率的である。この電解めっきには、硫酸浴、ピロリン酸浴、ワット浴など、通常の配線板に用いる電解めっき方法を用いることができる。
【0017】
この穴30の内壁を金属化するときに、同時にキャビティ内部に露出している内層回路の表面も金属化され、接続の強化のためのめっき22の上にも、そのめっき22を行っていない箇所にも金属が析出される。
【0018】
銅箔15の不要な箇所をエッチング除去して外層回路26を形成するには、上述のめっきレジストと同様の組成物に、エッチング液に対する耐薬品性を向上させる添加剤を用いるか組成物を調整した樹脂組成物の溶液、あるいはドライフィルム状のエッチングレジスト材料を用い、スクリーン印刷やフォト法によってエッチングレジストを形成し、塩化第二銅溶液などのようなエッチング液をスプレー噴霧することにより、エッチングレジストを形成しなかった箇所の銅箔12を選択的に除去することによって行う。
このときに、上述の接続を強化するためのめっき22は、エッチング除去のときのストッパーとして働き、内部接続端子21はエッチング液から保護される。そして、そのめっき22を電解めっきによって行ったときに用いた、電極用のリードにはめっきされていないので、エッチング除去して、内部接続端子21を電極用リードから切断することができる。
この銅箔15の不要な箇所をエッチング除去するときに、キャビティ内の不要な金属化部分もエッチング除去することができ、上述した、穴30の内壁を金属化するときに、同時にキャビティ内部に露出している内層回路の表面を金属化する工程の後に、上記の工程のエッチングレジストを形成するときに、同様に、キャビティ内に露出した必要とする内層回路の箇所にもエッチングレジストを形成しておき、上記の工程の不要な銅箔15をエッチング除去するときに、同時に、不要な箇所の内層回路の部分をエッチング除去することができる。このようにして、図1(f)に示すような、放熱を行うための金属層17も形成することができる。
【0019】
外層回路26に、他の基板との接続を行う外部接続端子を形成することができ、その外部接続端子の形状が残るようにエッチングレジストを形成すればよい。
外部接続端子を形成した後に、その表面に接続を強化する金属を形成することもでき、この金属は、内部接続端子12の表面に行う接続を強化するめっき22と同様に行うことができる。
このときのニッケル下地めっきの厚さは、1μm以上であることが好ましく、これより薄いとニッケルめっきによる硬度が不足し、ワイヤボンディング性が低下する。上限は特にないが、20μmを越えるとめっき時間が長くなるがワイヤボンディング性はそれに比例して向上するわけでなく、経済的でない。より好ましくは、5μm以上である。
その上に行う金めっきの厚さは、0.1μm以上であることが好ましく、これより薄いとはんだボールとの接続強度が不足する。上限は特にないが、2μmを越えるとめっき時間が長くなるがはんだボールとの接続強度がそれに比例して向上するわけでなく、経済的でない。より好ましくは、0.5μm以上である。さらには、ニッケル下地めっきの上に、パラジウムめっきを行った後に、金めっきを行うとはんだボールとの接続信頼性を高めることができ好ましい。このときのそれぞれのめっきの厚さは、合計で0.1μm以上であることが好ましく、より好ましくは0.5μm以上である。理由は、金めっきだけの場合と同じであり、上限も、同様に2μmを越えると経済的でない。
【0020】
また、上記の方法で製造された半導体パッケージ用基板のキャビティ部に半導体チップを搭載すれば、半導体パッケージを製造することができ、さらには、キャビティ内の半導体チップを、封止樹脂で封止することもできる。

Then, the substrate 100 on which the copper foil 105 is bonded and the substrate 100 for protecting the internal connection terminals 121 are stacked and bonded together, and as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the inner wall of the hole 130 is metalized to form a through hole 131, and unnecessary portions of the copper foil 105 are removed by etching. After forming the layer circuit 126, as shown in FIG. 4D, an opening for forming a cavity is formed in the substrate 100 for protecting the internal connection terminals 121 by counterboring or the like, and the outer layer circuit 126 is formed. It is known that a solder resist 127 is formed on the surface of the internal connection terminal 121, and plating 122 for reinforcing the connection is performed on the surface of the internal connection terminal 121 exposed in the cavity.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In manufacturing such a substrate for a semiconductor package, if an opening for forming a cavity is formed by counterboring, there is a processing error at the time of counterboring. Therefore, the processing error is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4 (f), since the area of the connection terminal 121 must be increased and the formation of the outer layer circuit 126 must be avoided, there is a problem that it is not suitable for miniaturization of a semiconductor package accompanying recent development. is there.

In this case, the distance between the outer layer circuit 126 and the plating electrode, the internal connection terminal 121 and the like. Since the distance between the electrode and the plating electrode is different, the film thickness variation of the plating is large, the plating thickness on the internal connection terminal 121 is thin, and the plating thickness on the outer layer circuit 126 tends to be thick. There is a problem that the wire bonding property is lowered and the solder connection reliability of the outer layer circuit 126 is lowered.
[0005]
The present invention is excellent in miniaturization, the outer layer circuit is the same type as the internal connection terminal, even when plating for reinforcing the connection is performed, there is little variation in the film thickness of the plating, and the wire bonding property of the internal connection terminal is excellent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, in order to manufacture a semiconductor package substrate having a cavity at a place where a semiconductor chip is mounted and having an internal connection terminal connected to the semiconductor chip in the cavity, as shown in FIG. A substrate 10 having an opening serving as a cavity and having a copper foil 15 is laminated and adhered on a substrate 20 having an internal connection terminal 21 connected to at least a semiconductor chip at a location inside the cavity. As shown in FIG. 1B, a protective film 13 is formed on the surface of the copper foil 15, and plating 22 for reinforcing the connection is performed on the surface of the internal connection terminal 21 exposed in the cavity. As shown in the figure, the protective film 13 on the surface of the copper foil 15 is removed, a hole 30 to be a through hole 31 is formed, and the inner wall of the hole 30 and the inner wall of the cavity are made of gold as shown in FIG. And forming a through hole 31 and forming an outer layer circuit 26 by etching away unnecessary portions of the copper foil 15 and unnecessary metal in the cavity, as shown in FIG. The internal connection terminal 21 can be exposed.
In the above description, the outer layer circuit 26 is formed by processing the copper foil 15 bonded to the substrate 10 having an opening serving as a cavity. However, the copper foil 15 has an opening serving as a cavity. It may not be bonded to the substrate 10 side, and may be bonded to the substrate 20 having the internal connection terminals as shown in FIG. 3 (a). Also, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), You may affix on both the board | substrates.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 3C, the substrate 20 having the internal connection terminals 21 that are connected to at least the semiconductor chip at the location inside the cavity may be a plurality of substrates. An opening must be provided in the upper substrate 202 so that the internal connection terminals 21 of the substrate 201 are exposed.
[0008]
In this semiconductor package substrate, as shown in FIG. 3D, on the back surface of the substrate 20 having an internal connection terminal 21 connected to at least the semiconductor chip at a location inside the cavity, The heat sink 41 can be bonded together, and as shown in FIG. 3E, an opening can be provided in the substrate 20, and the heat sink 41 can be directly exposed at the location where the semiconductor chip is mounted. The shape of the heat sink 41 may be a metal plate as shown in FIG. 3D, or may have a protrusion as shown in FIG.
[0009]
For the substrate 10 having an opening serving as a cavity and the copper foil 15 of the present invention, a copper-clad laminate usually used for a wiring board can be used, and the opening serving as a cavity is punched by a mold. Alternatively, it can be formed by processing with a router.
[0010]
The substrate 20 having the internal connection terminals 21 connected to at least the semiconductor chip at the inside of the cavity has the opening serving as the cavity and has the copper foil 15 as well as the wiring board. The copper-clad laminate to be used can be used, and the internal connection terminal 21 is formed by forming an etching resist in the shape of the internal connection terminal 21 on the copper foil of the copper-clad laminate and etching away unnecessary portions. Can be formed.
[0011]
In order to laminate and adhere these substrates, for example, a glass cloth is impregnated with a thermosetting resin, heated and dried, and heated on a semi-cured prepreg or polyethylene terephthalate film. It can be performed by applying a curable resin, heating and drying to form a dry film, sandwiching the adhesive sheet 16, heating and pressurizing, and laminating and integrating.
[0012]
The protective film 13 formed on the surface of the copper foil is preferably formed with a resin layer called a plating resist, which is usually used for a wiring board. Such a plating resist is a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin. The ink-like thing which mixed the resin composition containing a hardening | curing agent and a hardening accelerator with a solvent as a main component, and such a solution are apply | coated on the film which has mold release properties, such as a polyethylene terephthalate film, Use a dry film that is semi-cured by heating and drying. The ink-like solution can be printed by a screen printing method to form a protective film in a required shape. The dry film type is usually a curing agent that cures by light irradiation, and is laminated to the object to be plated, and a photomask that transmits light is superimposed on the shape to be formed. The protective film 13 can be formed by removing the portion with a developer.
[0013]
The plating 22 for reinforcing the connection on the surface of the internal connection terminal 21 exposed in the cavity includes nickel, gold, solder, platinum, palladium, and the like. It is preferable to perform gold plating or palladium / gold plating.
At this time, the thickness of the nickel base plating is preferably 1 μm or more, and if it is thinner than this, the hardness due to nickel plating is insufficient and the wire bonding property is lowered. There is no particular upper limit, but if it exceeds 20 μm, the plating time becomes longer, but the wire bonding property is not improved proportionally and is not economical. More preferably, it is 5 μm or more.
The thickness of the gold plating performed thereon is preferably 0.1 μm or more, and if it is thinner than this, the connection strength with the bonding wire is insufficient and the wire bonding property is deteriorated. There is no particular upper limit, but if it exceeds 2 μm, the plating time becomes longer, but the wire bonding property is not improved proportionally and is not economical. More preferably, it is 0.5 μm or more. Furthermore, it is preferable to perform gold plating after performing palladium plating on the nickel base plating, since the connection reliability of the wire-bonded connection portion can be improved. The total thickness of each plating at this time is preferably 0.1 μm or more, and more preferably 0.5 μm or more. The reason is the same as in the case of only gold plating, and the upper limit is also not economical if it exceeds 2 μm.
The plating 22 for strengthening the connection can be performed by electroless plating or electrolytic plating. Such electroless plating includes an ion source of a metal to be plated, a complexing agent, a reducing agent, and a pH adjusting agent. It consists of additives that improve stability. Prior to plating, a plating catalyst such as palladium can be applied to the object to be plated, and then immersed in the electroless plating solution as described above. Further, when gold or palladium / gold plating is performed on the surface on which the nickel base plating has been performed, since the nickel of the base plating functions as a plating catalyst, it is not necessary to use a plating catalyst. In the case of electrolytic plating, an electrode lead connected to the internal connection terminal 21 is provided, and a step of cutting the electrode lead must be provided in the step after plating.
[0014]
In order to remove the protective film 13 formed on the surface of the copper foil 15, a method of immersing in a solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone, or an alkaline aqueous solution such as an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide can be removed by spraying. .
[0015]
To drill the hole 30 to be the through hole 31, use a drill, select the diameter of the drill according to the hole diameter and position registered in advance, move the drill head to the specified position, and rotate the drill at that position. It is preferable to use a numerically controlled drill machine that lowers the drill head.
[0016]
In order to metallize the inner wall of the hole 30, electroless plating or electroless plating and electrolytic plating are preferably performed, and copper plating is more preferable because it has a low connection resistance and is economical. Such electroless plating includes an ion source of metal to be plated, a complexing agent, a reducing agent, a pH adjusting agent, an additive for improving stability, and the like. Prior to plating, a plating catalyst such as palladium can be applied to the object to be plated, and then immersed in the electroless plating solution as described above. This electroless plating is preferably performed in a thickness range of 1 to 25 μm. If the thickness is less than 1 μm, the conductor resistance tends to be high due to slight variations in plating thickness, which is not preferable. Even if the thickness exceeds 25 μm, there is no particular problem in terms of characteristics. However, since the electroless plating itself has a low deposition rate, it takes a long time and is not economical. When the thickness is required, it is efficient that the electroless plating is thin enough to allow current to flow, for example, is deposited on the order of 0.1 to 2 μm, and electrolytic plating is performed thereon. For this electrolytic plating, an electrolytic plating method used for a normal wiring board, such as a sulfuric acid bath, a pyrophosphoric acid bath, or a watt bath, can be used.
[0017]
When the inner wall of the hole 30 is metalized, the surface of the inner layer circuit exposed to the inside of the cavity is also metalized, and the plating 22 is not applied on the plating 22 for strengthening the connection. Also metal is deposited.
[0018]
In order to form the outer layer circuit 26 by removing unnecessary portions of the copper foil 15 by etching, an additive for improving chemical resistance against the etching solution is used in the same composition as the plating resist described above or the composition is adjusted. The etching resist is formed by spraying an etching solution such as a cupric chloride solution using a resin composition solution or a dry film etching resist material, and forming an etching resist by screen printing or photolithography. This is carried out by selectively removing the copper foil 12 at the place where the film is not formed.
At this time, the above-described plating 22 for strengthening the connection functions as a stopper at the time of etching removal, and the internal connection terminal 21 is protected from the etching solution. Since the electrode lead used when the plating 22 is performed by electrolytic plating is not plated, the internal connection terminal 21 can be cut from the electrode lead by etching away.
When unnecessary portions of the copper foil 15 are removed by etching, unnecessary metallized portions in the cavity can also be removed by etching. When the inner wall of the hole 30 described above is metalized, it is exposed to the inside of the cavity at the same time. After the step of metallizing the surface of the inner layer circuit, when forming the etching resist in the above step, similarly, the etching resist is also formed on the portion of the inner layer circuit that is required to be exposed in the cavity. In addition, when the unnecessary copper foil 15 in the above process is removed by etching, an unnecessary portion of the inner layer circuit can be simultaneously removed by etching. In this way, a metal layer 17 for heat dissipation as shown in FIG. 1 (f) can also be formed.
[0019]
An external connection terminal for connecting to another substrate can be formed in the outer layer circuit 26, and an etching resist may be formed so that the shape of the external connection terminal remains.
After the external connection terminal is formed, a metal that reinforces the connection can be formed on the surface, and this metal can be formed in the same manner as the plating 22 that reinforces the connection to be made on the surface of the internal connection terminal 12.
At this time, the thickness of the nickel base plating is preferably 1 μm or more, and if it is thinner than this, the hardness due to nickel plating is insufficient and the wire bonding property is lowered. There is no particular upper limit, but if it exceeds 20 μm, the plating time becomes longer, but the wire bonding property is not improved proportionally and is not economical. More preferably, it is 5 μm or more.
The thickness of the gold plating performed thereon is preferably 0.1 μm or more, and if it is thinner than this, the connection strength with the solder ball is insufficient. Although there is no particular upper limit, if it exceeds 2 μm, the plating time becomes longer, but the connection strength with the solder ball does not improve in proportion thereto, and is not economical. More preferably, it is 0.5 μm or more. Furthermore, it is preferable to perform gold plating after performing palladium plating on the nickel base plating because the connection reliability with the solder balls can be improved. The total thickness of each plating at this time is preferably 0.1 μm or more, and more preferably 0.5 μm or more. The reason is the same as in the case of only gold plating, and the upper limit is also not economical if it exceeds 2 μm.
[0020]
Further, if a semiconductor chip is mounted on the cavity portion of the semiconductor package substrate manufactured by the above method, the semiconductor package can be manufactured, and further, the semiconductor chip in the cavity is sealed with a sealing resin. You can also
