After the first semiconductor chips are split up into individual chips, a flip bonding is performed over the chip mounting part of the second semiconductor chip. Solder balls(124) are formed over the ball pads of the semiconductor chip. The second semiconductor chips are split up into individual chips. The chip mounting part is formed which corresponds to that of the first semiconductor chip. The solder balls have a diameter greater than the height of the flip-bonded first semiconductor chip.

웨이퍼 레벨에서의 적층 칩 패키지 제조방법 { Method of manufacturing chip stacked package in wafer level }Method of manufacturing chip stacked package in wafer level

본 발명은 서로 다른 반도체 칩들을 적층하여 단일 패키지로 제조하는 적층 칩 패키지 제조방법에 관한 것이며, 더욱 구체적으로는 일차적으로 제조된 각 반도체 칩들을 웨이퍼 레벨에서 배선을 재배열한 후 플립 본딩 기술을 이용하여 적층시키는 것을 특징으로 하는 웨이퍼 레벨에서의 적층 칩 패키지 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a stacked chip package manufacturing method of stacking different semiconductor chips into a single package, and more specifically, by using flip bonding technology after rearranging wires at a wafer level for each of the semiconductor chips manufactured first. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a laminated chip package at a wafer level, characterized in that the lamination is performed.

반도체 칩들을 적층하여 단일 패키지로 제조하는 적층 칩 패키지 기술은 이미 일차적으로 제조된 반도체 칩들을 이용하여 반도체 패키지 용량을 확장시키거나 반도체 패키지의 용량을 기준으로 실장영역을 최소화할 수 있는 등의 이점을 갖기 때문에 여러 가지 형태로 개발되어 왔다.The stacked chip package technology, in which semiconductor chips are stacked and manufactured in a single package, has advantages such as extending semiconductor package capacity or minimizing a mounting area based on semiconductor package capacity by using semiconductor chips that are already manufactured first. It has been developed in many forms.

도 1a 내지 도 1c는 기존의 적층 칩 패키지들의 구조를 간략하게 도시한 단면도들이며, 이들 도면을 설명하면 다음과 같다.1A to 1C are cross-sectional views briefly illustrating structures of existing stacked chip packages, and these drawings will be described below.

도 1a는 일반적인 반도체 패키지들(10)을 차례로 적층시킨 모습이며, 도 1b는 성형수지로 성형되기 전의 리드 프레임 상태에서 반도체 칩들(22, 24)이 적층된 후 단일 패키지(20)로 성형된 모습이고, 도 1c는 리드 프레임 등을 중심으로 두 개 이상의 반도체 칩들(32, 34)이 활성면을 마주 보며 적층된 패키지(30)의 모습을 도시한다.FIG. 1A is a view of stacking general semiconductor packages 10 in sequence, and FIG. 1B is formed of a single package 20 after stacking the semiconductor chips 22 and 24 in a lead frame state before molding the molding resin. 1C illustrates a package 30 in which two or more semiconductor chips 32 and 34 are stacked facing the active surface with respect to a lead frame or the like.

이러한 기존의 적층 칩 패키지들은 일차적으로 완성된 후 웨이퍼에서 분리된 개개의 반도체 칩들을 리드 프레임 등과 같은 보조수단을 통해 적층시키고 외부 기판에 실장하는 형태로 이루어져 있다. 따라서, 이들 적층 칩 패키지들의 제조방법은 개개의 반도체 칩들을 제조하는 웨이퍼 제조공정(Wafer Fabrication)과 웨이퍼에서 개개의 반도체 칩들을 분리한 후 최종 제품인 반도체 패키지로 조립하는 패키지 조립공정(Assembly)을 모두 포함한다.These conventional stacked chip packages are primarily formed by stacking individual semiconductor chips separated from a wafer through auxiliary means such as lead frames and mounting them on an external substrate. Therefore, the method of manufacturing these stacked chip packages includes both a wafer fabrication process of manufacturing individual semiconductor chips and a package assembly process of separating individual semiconductor chips from a wafer and then assembling the final product into a semiconductor package. Include.

이와 같이 기존의 적층 칩 패키지 제조방법이 웨이퍼 제조공정과 패키지 조립공정을 모두 포함함에 따라, 최종 제품을 완성하기까지의 작업시간(Throughput)의 증가와 공정의 복잡화로 인한 신뢰성의 저하 및 공정비용의 증가 등을 가져오게 되며, 결국 고가의 제품을 생산하게 됨으로써 가격 경쟁력이 약화되는 등의 단점을 가져올 수 있다.As a conventional method of manufacturing a stacked chip package includes both a wafer manufacturing process and a package assembling process, reliability and degradation of process cost due to an increase in the throughput and complexity of the process are required. It may lead to an increase, and eventually to produce an expensive product may lead to a disadvantage, such as a weak price competitiveness.

본 발명의 목적은 제조공정과 제조시간을 단축하고 제조비용의 절감할 수 있는 칩 스케일 패키지(CSP) 형태의 웨이퍼 레벨에서의 적층 칩 패키지를 제조하는 제조방법을 제공하는 것이다.An object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method for manufacturing a laminated chip package at the wafer level in the form of a chip scale package (CSP) which can shorten the manufacturing process and manufacturing time and reduce the manufacturing cost.

본 발명의 또 다른 목적은 웨이퍼 레벨에서 배선을 재배열시킨 후 플립 본딩 기술을 이용하여 적층시키는 것을 특징으로 하는 웨이퍼 레벨에서의 적층 칩 패키지 제조방법을 제공하는 것이다.It is still another object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a stacked chip package at a wafer level, wherein the wiring is rearranged at the wafer level and then laminated using flip bonding technology.

이하, 도면을 참조하여 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예들을 설명한다.Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

도 2는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 웨이퍼 레벨에서의 적층 칩 패키지 제조방법을 순차적으로 도시한 순서도이며, 도 3a 내지 도 3e는 도 2의 각 단계를 상세히 도시한 공정도들이다. 도 2 내지 도 3e를 참고로 하여 본 발명에 따른 적층 칩 패키지 제조방법을 설명하면 다음과 같다.2 is a flowchart sequentially illustrating a method of manufacturing a stacked chip package at a wafer level according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3A to 3E are process diagrams illustrating each step of FIG. 2 in detail. Referring to Figures 2 to 3E will be described a method of manufacturing a stacked chip package according to the present invention.

본 발명에 따른 적층 칩 패키지 제조방법은 크게 구분하여 크기가 서로 다른 제1/제2 반도체 칩들이 각각 형성되어 있는 웨이퍼들을 준비하는 단계(40)와, 제1 반도체 칩 위로 소정의 범프를 형성하는 단계(50)와, 제2 반도체 칩 위로 칩 실장부와 접속부를 형성하는 단계(60)와, 제1 반도체 칩들을 개개로 분리하여 제2 반도체 칩들의 각 칩 실장부 위로 플립 본딩하는 단계(70)와, 볼 패드 위로 솔더 볼을 형성하는 단계(80) 및 개개의 적층 칩 패키지로 분리하는 단계(90)를 포함한다.The method for manufacturing a stacked chip package according to the present invention comprises the steps of preparing 40 wafers each having first and second semiconductor chips having different sizes, and forming a predetermined bump on the first semiconductor chip. Step 50, forming a chip mounting portion and a connecting portion over the second semiconductor chip (60), and separating the first semiconductor chips individually and flip bonding over each chip mounting portion of the second semiconductor chips (70) ), Forming a solder ball over the ball pad (80) and separating it into individual stacked chip packages (90).

이를 좀 더 상세히 설명하면 도 3a에 도시된 것처럼 제1 웨이퍼(110)의 제1 반도체 칩들(120)은 플립 본딩할 수 있도록 소정의 범프들(124)이 활성면(122) 위로 형성된 것을 특징으로 하며, 제2 웨이퍼(130)의 제2 반도체 칩들(140)은 도 3b에 도시된 것처럼 제1 반도체 칩(120)의 범프들(124)이 본딩될 수 있도록 범프 패드들(152)이 형성된 칩 실장부(150)와 칩 실장부(150)를 중심으로 주변에 볼 패드들(162)이 형성된 접속부(160)가 형성된 것을 특징으로 한다.In more detail, as shown in FIG. 3A, predetermined bumps 124 are formed on the active surface 122 to flip-bond the first semiconductor chips 120 of the first wafer 110. In addition, the second semiconductor chips 140 of the second wafer 130 are chips in which bump pads 152 are formed to bond the bumps 124 of the first semiconductor chip 120 as illustrated in FIG. 3B. A connection part 160 having ball pads 162 formed around the mounting unit 150 and the chip mounting unit 150 may be formed.

이와 같은 제1/제2 반도체 칩들을 적층하기 위하여, 크기가 작은 제1 반도체 칩들(120)을 제1 웨이퍼(110)로부터 개개로 분리한 후 제2 반도체 칩(140)의 칩 실장부(150) 위로 플립 본딩한다. 제1 반도체 칩들(120)이 플립 본딩된 모습이 도 3c에 평면도로 도시되어 있으며, 제1 반도체 칩(120)이 플립 본딩된 주위로 볼 패드들(162)이 노출된 모습을 알 수 있다.In order to stack the first and second semiconductor chips, the small semiconductor chips 120 may be separated from the first wafer 110, and then the chip mounting unit 150 of the second semiconductor chip 140 may be separated. ) Flip bond over. 3C is a plan view of the flip-bonding of the first semiconductor chips 120, and the ball pads 162 are exposed around the flip-bonding of the first semiconductor chip 120.

도 3d는 도 3c에서 제1/제2 반도체 칩들(120/140)이 적층된 모습을 나타낸 단면도이며, 이에 더하여 제2 반도체 칩(140)의 볼 패드들 위로 솔더 볼들(170)이 형성된 모습을 도시한다. 도 3d에 도시된 것처럼, 제1/제2 반도체 칩들을 플립 본딩할 때 사용되는 범프(124)의 크기는 볼 패드 위로 실장되는 솔더 볼(170)의 크기에 비하여 상대적으로 작은 것을 알 수 있다.FIG. 3D is a cross-sectional view illustrating the stacking of the first and second semiconductor chips 120 and 140 in FIG. 3C. In addition, the solder balls 170 are formed on the ball pads of the second semiconductor chip 140. Illustrated.
