The semiconductor package 350 may further include a molding layer 340. At least one external terminal 320 may be disposed on the redistribution 310. A plurality of redistribution 310 may be provided according to the design.

The substrate 300 may be a wafer unit, and the semiconductor package 350 may be a wafer unit package (WFP). However, the exemplary embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the substrate 300 may be a chip (die) unit board and the semiconductor package 350 may be a chip unit package (CSP). An integrated circuit 303 electrically connected to the bonding pad 302 may be formed on the substrate 300.

The number of bonding pads 302 may be appropriately selected depending on the type and capacity of the integrated circuit 303. For example, the plurality of bonding pads 302 may be irregularly arranged on the upper surface 301 of the substrate 300 according to the design, or alternatively, locally or entirely regularly arranged. For example, when the substrate 300 is a chip unit substrate, the bonding pads 302 may form a so-called center pad structure in which one or more rows are arranged in the center of the substrate 300. As another example, the bonding pads 302 may form a so-called edge pad structure in which one or more rows are arranged at the edge of the substrate 300. As another example, the bonding pads 302 may be arranged in a matrix form irregularly or regularly distributed over the entire area of the substrate 300.

The passivation layer 304 may have a first opening 322 exposing the bonding pads 302. The interlayer insulating layer 306 may have a second opening 332 exposing the first opening 322. In the present exemplary embodiment, the passivation layer 304 and the interlayer insulating layer 306 are separated from each other, but are not distinguished from each other and may be referred to as a name (for example, an insulating layer) or may be omitted.

The redistribution 310 may be disposed on the interlayer insulating layer 306 and may be electrically connected to the bonding pad 302 through the first and second openings 322 and 332. Accordingly, the redistribution 310 may electrically connect the bonding pad 302 and the external terminal 320. The external terminal 320 may be directly attached on the redistribution 310 without the help of a so-called solder mask. The redistribution 310 may serve to rearrange the bonding pads 302.

1B is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor package in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1B, the substrate 300 is generally illustrated as a substrate having a rectangular chip unit, and the passivation layer 304, the interlayer insulating layer 306, and the molding layer 340 are omitted.

Referring to FIG. 1B, as an example, the redistribution 310 may reposition the bonding pads 302 having the center pad structure to the edge of the substrate 300 (I). In this case, the external terminals 320 may be arranged at the edge of the substrate 300. The bonding pads 302 may be arranged in one or more rows in the center of the substrate 300. The external terminals 320 may be arranged in one or more rows at left, right, top, bottom, left and right edges of the substrate 300. As another example, the redistribution 310 may rearrange the bonding pads 302 of the edge pad structure to the center of the substrate 300 (II). The external terminals 320 may be arranged in one or more rows at left, right, top, bottom, left and right edges of the substrate 300. As another example, the redistribution 310 may rearrange the bonding pads 302 of the edge pad structure in a matrix form over the entire area of the substrate 300 (III). That is, the external terminals 320 may be arranged in a matrix form over the entire area of the substrate 300. In (III) of FIG. 1B, the bonding pads 302 may have a center pad structure or may be arranged in a matrix form over the entire area of the substrate 300. As another example, the redistributions 310 may be used to adjust the spacing of the bonding pads 302 or to adjust the spacing and position. This embodiment is not limited to the arrangement of the bonding pads 302 and the external terminals 320 described above with reference to FIG. 1B.

Referring back to FIG. 1A, the external terminal 320 may be entirely made of the same material, or may include an inside and an outside made of different materials. According to the present embodiment, the external terminal 320 may be the latter. For example, the external terminal 320 may be a solder ball having a dual structure including an inner core 322 and an outer shell 324 surrounding the inner core 322. According to the present embodiment, the inner core 322 may be made of a material that does not melt even when the outer shell 324 is melted during the reflow process. For example, the outer shell 324 may be made of a low melting point material, and the inner core 322 may be made of a high melting point material.

In this specification, the high melting point and the low melting point mean a relative height between the melting points of the inner core 322 and the outer shell 324. For example, "inner core 322 is composed of a high melting point material" means that the inner core 322 is composed of a material having a higher melting point than the outer shell 324. Likewise, "shell 324 is composed of low melting point material" means that shell 324 is comprised of a material having a lower melting point than inner core 322.

Since the outer terminal 320 is an electrical connection medium, at least the outer shell 324 is preferably made of a conductive material. The inner core 322 may be made of a conductive material such as a metal or a non-conductive material such as a heat resistant resin. When the inner core 322 is made of a conductive material such as metal, it is possible to implement the external terminal 322 having excellent electrical conductivity. In contrast, when the inner core 322 is formed of a heat resistant resin such as polyimide, the semiconductor package 350 may be reduced in weight. The external terminal 320 may include a solder ball having a plurality of structures including at least one conductive or nonconductive film surrounding the inner core 322 between the inner core 322 and the outer shell 324.

The molding layer 340 may cover the insulating layer 306 but partially expose the external terminal 320. As another example, the molding layer 340 may be provided to expose a portion of the external terminal 320 but to mold the semiconductor package 350.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of manufacturing a semiconductor package according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3A to 3F are cross-sectional views illustrating an example of the method of FIG. 2. Reference numerals S310-S380 indicating the process steps of FIG. 2 are written together in corresponding portions when describing FIGS. 3A to 3F.

Referring to FIG. 3A, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor package according to an embodiment of the present invention may provide a substrate 300 (S310). The substrate 300 may be a silicon (Si), silicon-germanium (SiGe), or silicon on insulator substrate on a wafer basis. As another example, the substrate 300 may be a substrate in a chip (die) unit in which a wafer unit substrate is sawed and individually separated. According to the present exemplary embodiment, the substrate 300 may be a silicon substrate in a wafer unit, and the present exemplary embodiment is not limited thereto. The integrated circuit 303 may be formed on the substrate 300. The integrated circuit 303 may be memory, logic, or a combination of these.

At least one bonding pad 302 electrically connected to the integrated circuit 303 may be formed on the upper surface 301 of the substrate 300. The bonding pads 302 may be formed in a center pad, an edge pad, or a matrix structure, as described above with reference to FIG. 1B. The bonding pad 302 may be made of a conductive material including a metal such as aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), or an alloy thereof. The bonding pads 302 may be formed by deposition and patterning of a conductive material or plating.

A passivation layer 304 may be formed on the top surface 301 of the substrate 300 having a first opening 322 that partially exposes the bonding pads 302 (S320). The passivation layer 304 may be formed by deposition and patterning of an insulating material. Subsequently, an interlayer insulating layer 306 may be formed to cover the passivation layer 304 and have a second opening 332 exposing the first opening 322 (S330). The bonding pads 302 may be exposed through the first and second openings 322 and 332. As another example, the deposition and patterning of the insulating material may form the passivation layer 304 and the interlayer insulating layer 306 successively, and form the first and second openings 322 and 332 exposing the bonding pad 302. have. Forming the first and second openings 222 and 232 may include patterning the interlayer insulating layer 306 and the passivation layer 304 in order to form a trench that exposes the bonding pad 302.

Optionally, one of the passivation layer 304 and the interlayer insulating layer 306 may be omitted. In the present embodiment, it will be described that the passivation layer 304 and the interlayer insulating layer 306 are formed separately from each other, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto. The passivation layer 304 and the interlayer insulating layer 306 may be formed of the same or similar materials, or may be formed of different materials. For example, the passivation layer 304 may be formed by depositing an oxide or nitride, and the interlayer insulating layer 306 may be formed by depositing or spin coating a resin such as polyimide, and vice versa.

Referring to FIG. 3B, at least one redistribution 310 may be formed on the interlayer insulating layer 306 (S340). The redistribution 310 may be formed by deposition and patterning of a conductor, or electrolytic or electroless plating. The redistribution 310 may be formed of a metal such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), or an alloy thereof. For example, the redistribution 310 may be formed by plating copper (Cu), and may be thinly coated with nickel (Ni) to prevent oxidation of the copper surface. The redistribution 310 may be electrically connected to the bonding pads 302 through the first and second openings 322 and 332. The redistribution 310 may be formed in a straight line form, but may be formed in a curved form or in a separate form.

Referring to FIG. 3C, at least one solder ball 320a may be provided and attached to the redistribution 310 (S350). Optionally, prior to attaching the solder balls 320a, the method may further include applying flux on the redistribution 310. The flux may include at least one of a resin, thinner, and an activator.

The solder ball 320a may have a structure in which the non-fusion melt 322a and the melt 324a are combined. For example, the non-fusion 322a may have a generally solid sphere shape (hereinafter inner core), and the melt 324a may have a shape of a hollow sphere (hereinafter, referred to as a hollow sphere). Sheath). As another example, the melt 324a may not be spherical. According to the present embodiment, the solder ball 320a may have a double structure in which the outer shell 324a surrounds the inner core 322a. The melting point TM1 of the inner core 322a may be made of a material higher than the melting point TM2 of the outer shell 324a. As another example, the solder ball 320a may have a multiple structure including at least one intermediate film surrounding the inner core 322a between the inner core 322a and the outer shell 324a. The melting point of this interlayer may be equal to or greater than the melting point TM2 of the shell 324a. Alternatively, the melting point of the interlayer may be equal to or larger than the melting point TM1 of the inner core 322a. Alternatively, the melting point of the interlayer may be a value between the melting point TM2 of the outer shell 324a and the melting point TM1 of the inner core 322a.

The outer shell 324a is, for example, lead (Pb), lead (Pb) / tin (Sn), tin (Sn) / zinc (Zn), tin (Sn) / bismuth (Bi), tin (Sn) / silver (Ag) , Tin (Sn) / zinc (Zn) / bismuth (Bi), tin (Sn) / silver (Ag) / copper (Cu), tin (Sn) / bismuth (Bi) / silver (Ag) / indium (In) , Or a combination thereof.

The inner core 322a may be formed of a heat resistant metal, copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), or an alloy thereof. The heat resistant metal may include, for example, molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), tantalum (Ta), niobium (Nb), or a combination thereof. When the inner core 322a is made of a conductive material, electrical conductivity of the external terminal 320 of FIG. 3D may be improved. As another example, the inner core 322a may be formed of a heat resistant resin. Heat-resistant resins are, for example, polyimide, polyamideimide, polyetherimide, polyethersulfone, polyarylate, polyphenylenesulfide, polyetheretherketone (Polyetheretherketone), polysulfone (Polysulfone), or a combination thereof. When the inner core 322a is formed of a heat resistant resin, the external terminal 320 of FIG. 3D may be reduced in weight, and thus the weight of the semiconductor package 350 of FIG. 3D may be reduced.

The reflow process may be performed while the solder balls 320a are attached to the redistribution 310. The reflow temperature TR may be a value between the melting point TM1 of the inner core 322a and the melting point TM2 of the outer shell 324a. As an example, it is assumed that the outer shell 324a is made of lead (Pb) / tin (Sn) or tin (Sn) / zinc (Zn), and the inner core 322a is made of nickel (Ni). In this case, the reflow temperature TR is the melting point (TM2: approximately 183 ° C) of lead (Pb) / tin (Sn) constituting the outer shell 324a, and the melting point (TM1) of nickel (Ni) constituting the inner core 322a. : Approximately 1452 ° C.), and may range from approximately 200 to 250 ° C. In the case where the solder balls 320a have multiple structures, the interlayer film between the inner core 322a and the outer shell 324a is not melted together with the outer shell 324a or melted together with the inner core 324a during the reflow process. Can be set.

According to the reflow process, the outer shell 324a is selectively melted, but the inner core 322a is not melted and may remain in an initial form, such as a spherical shape. The outer shell 324a is selectively melted and wetted in the redistribution 310, but may not be wetted indefinitely along the redistribution 310 by the connection force with the inner core 322a. Even if the initial shape of the shell 324a is not spherical, it may be melted by the reflow process and deformed into a sphere due to the surface tension. Accordingly, the molten solder ball 320a may remain substantially spherical in the attached position.

Referring to FIG. 7, the solder ball 320a may be heated by Joule heating using an induction heater 500 instead of the above-described convection reflow process. The time for the induction heater 500 to heat the solder ball 320a may be shortened compared to the general reflow time. For example, if the convection reflow time is in the range of about a few minutes (eg, 8 minutes), the Joule heating time may be in the range of a few seconds (eg, within 5 seconds). The latter Joule heating process may not be subject to heating temperature limitations in the former convective reflow process. According to this, the inner core 322a is not melted without limiting the heating temperature, but the outer shell 324a may be selectively melted quickly.

The induction heater 500 may include a generally disk-shaped first heater 510 disposed above the substrate 300 and a second heater 520 disposed below the substrate 300. At least one of the first and second heaters 510 and 520 may include a coil that generates heat by a high frequency or low frequency induction current. The coil may have a size equal to or greater than the aperture of the substrate 300. The number of turns of the coil may be one or more. Induction heater 500 may be adjusted to a frequency of 10MHz or more and power of 2000Watt or more.

Referring to FIG. 3D, at least one external terminal 320 may be formed on the redistribution 310 (S360). The external terminal 320 may be formed by reflowing or Joule heating the solder ball 320a having the dual structure described above with reference to FIG. 3C.

In general, in the reflow process, the molten solder ball 320a is formed on the interlayer insulating layer 306 to form an external terminal 320 having a desired shape at a desired position by defining a region to be wetted on the redistribution 310. It is conventional to form a so-called solder mask by performing a patterning process in which a second interlayer insulating layer is deposited on and a ball land is opened. The solder mask serves as a guide to allow solder balls to settle on the ball lands and prevents indefinite wetting of the solder balls to short-circuit between external terminals, and mainly to protect the rewiring. On the other hand, the solder mask is unnecessary because the molding process is subsequently performed, but it is common to form a solder mask in order to define a ball land and prevent indefinite wetting of the solder ball. However, according to the present exemplary embodiment, the external terminal 320 may be formed by local melting of the solder balls 320a without forming a solder mask. According to the above series of processes, the semiconductor package 350 in a wafer unit may be implemented.

Referring to FIG. 3E, the molding layer 340 may be selectively formed at the wafer level step (S370). The molding layer 340 may be formed to mold the top surface 301 of the substrate 300. Alternatively, the molding layer 340 may be formed to mold the entire semiconductor package 350. The external terminal 320 may be partially exposed from the surface of the molding layer 340. The molding layer 340 may be formed of an insulating resin, for example, an epoxy molding compound (EMC). The molding layer 340 may be cured by heat treatment. The molding layer 340 may serve to protect the redistribution 310, and may further protect the semiconductor package 350 from an external environment. In addition, according to the wafer level molding process, it is possible to implement a robust semiconductor package 350.

Referring to FIG. 3F, a sawing process of selectively separating a semiconductor package 350 (WPF) in a wafer unit into a semiconductor package CSP in a chip unit may be further performed (S380). For example, the sawing process may include separating the wafer 300 on the scribe lane 410 with the cutting wheel 400. As another example, the sawing process may employ a laser instead of the cutting wheel 400. In the semiconductor package in a chip unit, the external terminals 320 are arranged at the edge of the substrate 300 as shown in (I) of FIG. 1B or at the center of the substrate 300 as shown in (II) of FIG. 1B. It may be arranged or in the form of a matrix as in (III) of FIG.

The manufacturing method of this embodiment may refer to the manufacturing method described above with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3F and FIG. 7, and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted below.

Referring to FIG. 4, the process from the substrate providing step S310 to the external terminal forming step S360 may be similar to that described above with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3D. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 3D, a semiconductor package 350 in a wafer unit may be implemented. Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 3F, a sawing process may be performed (S380). Accordingly, the semiconductor package 350 in a wafer unit may be separated into a semiconductor package in a plurality of chip units. Thereafter, the molding layer 340 may be formed in the semiconductor package in a chip unit, unlike the wafer level molding process illustrated in FIG. 3E.
