Description

Circuit board, semiconductor package and manufacturing method {CIRCUIT BOARD, SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGE AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING THE SAME}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a circuit board, a semiconductor package, and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, to an ultra-thin circuit board, a semiconductor package, and a method of manufacturing the same, in which protrusions are formed on a bump pad embedded in an insulating substrate layer.

Today, the semiconductor industry is evolving toward the manufacture of lightweight, compact, high-speed, multifunctional, high-performance, high-reliability products at low cost, and one of the important technologies for achieving this is semiconductor package technology. The semiconductor package technology is a technology for securing operational reliability of a semiconductor chip by protecting a semiconductor chip on which a circuit part is formed through an wafer assembly process from an external environment and being easily mounted on a substrate.

Today, semiconductor technology seeks sub-micron line widths, millions of cells, high speeds, and much heat dissipation. However, since the technology for packaging this is relatively poor, the semiconductor performance is often determined by the packaging and the resulting electrical connection rather than the performance of the semiconductor itself. Indeed, the overall electrical signal delay of high-speed electronics is largely caused by the package delay between chips. In order to solve such a problem, semiconductor package technology is evolving from thin smalloutline package (TSOP) to flip chip technology through ball grid array (BGA) and chip size package (CSP). Flip chip technology has been developed in various forms since it was proposed by IBM in the 1960s, and refers to a technology in which the chip is mounted on the board with the chip facing the board.

A typical method of flip chip technology is a mounting technology using solder bumps. However, in order to apply a flip chip structure to a device having a fine pitch, the size of solder bumps has been reduced, and due to the decrease in the bonding force of the solder bumps, the problem of electrical performance deterioration due to falling of solder bumps or deformation, etc. have.

In addition, there is a subtractive method and an additive method as a conventional circuit board manufacturing method, but the subtractive method uses copper plating on an existing copper foil in a copper clad laminate (CCL). Therefore, the thickness of the copper foil becomes thick and it is difficult to implement a fine pattern due to the etching deviation of the etching equipment.

In addition, the protrusion 116b may include a plurality of sub-projections spaced apart from each other, for example, a first sub-projection 116b1, a second sub-projection 116b2, and a third sub-projection 116b3. By configuring the protrusion 116b with a plurality of sub-projections 116b1, 116b2, and 116b3 spaced apart from each other, the contact area thereof can be increased to improve the bonding strength with the first conductive protrusion. The number of sub protrusions shown is only one example.

As described above, the present invention can increase the bonding area by forming a protrusion on the bump pad to improve the bonding strength during flip chip bonding, and improve the reliability of the circuit board and the semiconductor package. In addition, since the thickness of the insulating substrate layer can be configured to be thin, an ultra-thin circuit board and a semiconductor package can be realized. This can actively cope with the recent trend of thin and light and short of electronic devices (computers, laptops, mobile phones, etc.), and can improve the reliability of such electronic devices in extreme environments such as the equator, desert, and polar regions.
