Description

导体柱及其制造方法、封装芯片的方法和芯片倒装产品Conductor column and manufacturing method thereof, method for packaging chip and chip flip product 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及电子产品的芯片封装领域,尤其涉及导体柱及其制造方法、使用导体柱来封装芯片的方法以及通过该封装方法制得的芯片倒装产品,该导体柱适用于将芯片上的电极电连接至封装基板,例如单层印制线路板、积层多层基板或者埋线路无芯板等。The present invention relates to the field of chip packaging for electronic products, and more particularly to a conductor post and a method of manufacturing the same, a method of packaging a chip using the conductor post, and a flip chip product manufactured by the packaging method, the conductor post being suitable for an electrode on a chip Electrically connected to a package substrate, such as a single-layer printed wiring board, a laminated multi-layer substrate, or a buried-line coreless board.
背景技术Background technique
伴随着电子产品朝高集成度、小型化和薄型化发展的趋势,需要相应的印制线路板或集成电路封装基板在满足良好电性能和热性能的前提下也朝着轻、薄、短、小的趋势发展,这要求电子元器件集成度提高、封装高密度、小型化及多引脚化。基于这种需求,除了设计和制造技术之外,IC封装厂商也在不断地开发更先进的封装技术以实现高密度集成,使得封装结构从早期的QFP(方型扁平式封装技术)、BGA(焊球阵列封装)发展到更先进的CSP(芯片尺寸封装)、甚至WLP CSP(硅圆片级封装)。倒装芯片(flip chip)覆晶连接技术是近年来开发的一种封装技术,具有芯片与线路板连接路径短、阻抗低、信号损失小、电信号寄生现象少等优点,正逐步取代线路较长的引线接合(wire bonding)封装方式而应用于许多高端的电子产品中。Along with the trend of high integration, miniaturization and thinning of electronic products, the corresponding printed circuit boards or integrated circuit package substrates are required to be light, thin and short, while satisfying good electrical and thermal performance. Small trends have led to increased integration of electronic components, high density of packages, miniaturization and multi-pinning. Based on this demand, in addition to design and manufacturing technology, IC packaging manufacturers are constantly developing more advanced packaging technologies to achieve high-density integration, making the package structure from the early QFP (square flat package technology), BGA ( Solder ball array packages have evolved to more advanced CSP (chip size packages) and even WLP CSP (silicon wafer level packages). Flip chip flip chip connection technology is a kind of packaging technology developed in recent years. It has the advantages of short connection path between chip and circuit board, low impedance, small signal loss, less parasitic signal of electric signal, etc. Long wire bonding is used in many high-end electronic products.
传统的覆晶连接技术采用锡球将芯片节点与线路板节点通过高温回流焊方式焊接在一起。随着线路密度、CSP芯片密度的不断增加,用于外接的电极之间的间距越来越小。在对接焊点的设计密度增大时,电流和热效应也随之增加。由于锡球电子迁移因素的影响,产品信赖性会降低,而且在高温回流焊时容易引起电极之间的桥接而导致短路等问题。为此,现在已逐步采用铜柱(Cu pillar)来取代锡球,成为 覆晶连接的主流技术。预计铜柱技术将朝着进一步减小间距、增加密度的方向发展,适用于28/20nm以下制程,并扩展到所有的倒装芯片产品上。得益于铜的材料特性,铜柱连接拥有优越的导电性能、热性能和可靠性,并满足ROHS环保要求,可广泛适用于收发器、嵌入式处理器、电源管理、基带芯片、专用集成电路以及一些要求细间距、ROHS标准、低成本和良好电性能的SOC等。采用这种芯片互连技术可减少所用的基板层数,实现整体封装成本的降低(与引线接合相比可节省约20%),并且可拥有很高的电迁移性能和电流承载能力。The traditional flip chip connection technology uses solder balls to solder chip nodes and circuit board nodes together by high temperature reflow soldering. As the line density and CSP chip density increase, the spacing between the electrodes for external connection becomes smaller and smaller. As the design density of butt joints increases, current and thermal effects also increase. Due to the influence of the electron transfer factor of the solder ball, the reliability of the product is lowered, and the problem of short circuit is caused by bridging between the electrodes at the time of high temperature reflow soldering. To this end, the copper pillar (Cu pillar) has been gradually replaced by the tin ball. The mainstream technology of flip chip connection. It is expected that the copper column technology will be developed in the direction of further reducing the pitch and increasing the density, and is suitable for processes below 28/20 nm and extended to all flip chip products. Thanks to the material properties of copper, copper pillar connections have superior electrical conductivity, thermal performance and reliability, and meet ROHS environmental requirements, which can be widely used in transceivers, embedded processors, power management, baseband chips, ASICs. And some SOCs that require fine pitch, ROHS standards, low cost, and good electrical performance. This chip interconnect technology reduces the number of substrate layers used, reduces overall package cost (approximately 20% savings compared to wire bonding), and provides high electromigration and current carrying capability.
铜柱可制作在芯片上,也可制作在封装基板或印刷线路板上。在芯片上制作铜柱时,由于芯片所处的晶圆面积通常较小(直径仅约200mm),因而需要采用高级的电镀设备和药水,电镀能力强但制作成本较高。在封装基板或印制线路板上制作铜柱时,通常采用减成法,但由于需采用蚀刻液对铜箔进行蚀刻,蚀刻液不仅向下而且也从侧面攻击铜,因而会出现侧蚀现象,导致所得铜柱为圆锥体。这不利于更小间距铜柱的制作,也不利于信号传递的完整性。最近,有人尝试通过化学沉铜或溅射法在芯片电极或印制线路板上形成包含钛、铜的金属种子层,接着在该金属种子层上生长圆柱形的铜柱,再利用该铜柱来倒装芯片。可是,这些现有的铜柱倒装技术虽然可满足小间距的要求,但是在铜柱与封装基板线路、或者铜柱与半导体芯片电极之间的结合处的金属种子层结合力较弱、容易产生裂纹,而且由于封装过程中的热膨胀不均匀导致的应力而容易引起电极断裂、铜柱与封装基板或芯片电极剥离,从而导致电子产品失效。The copper posts can be fabricated on a chip or on a package substrate or printed circuit board. When making copper pillars on a chip, since the chip is usually small in wafer area (only about 200 mm in diameter), advanced plating equipment and syrup are required, and the plating ability is strong but the manufacturing cost is high. When a copper pillar is fabricated on a package substrate or a printed wiring board, a subtractive method is usually used. However, since the etching solution is used to etch the copper foil, the etching liquid attacks the copper not only downward but also from the side, and thus side etching occurs. The resulting copper column is a cone. This is not conducive to the fabrication of smaller pitch copper pillars, and is not conducive to the integrity of signal transmission. Recently, attempts have been made to form a metal seed layer containing titanium or copper on a chip electrode or a printed wiring board by chemical copper or sputtering, followed by growing a cylindrical copper pillar on the metal seed layer, and then using the copper pillar. Come flip the chip. However, although these existing copper pillar flip-chip technologies can meet the requirements of small pitch, the metal seed layer bonding strength between the copper pillar and the package substrate line, or the junction between the copper pillar and the semiconductor chip electrode is weak and easy. Cracks are generated, and the electrodes are easily broken due to stress caused by uneven thermal expansion during the packaging process, and the copper pillars are peeled off from the package substrate or the chip electrodes, thereby causing the electronic product to fail.

And one or more of the alloys between them, the conductor thickening layer comprising one or more of Cu, Ag, Al, Au, and alloys therebetween.
本发明的第十五技术方案为,在上述第十一方案中,导体柱呈实心或空心的柱状,其一端埋入芯片或封装基板的内部,另一端位于芯片或封装基板的表面上方。According to a fifteenth aspect of the present invention, in the eleventh aspect, the conductor post is in the form of a solid or hollow column, one end of which is embedded in the inside of the chip or the package substrate, and the other end is located above the surface of the chip or the package substrate.
依照本发明,在离子注入期间,导电材料的离子以很高的速度强行地注入到基体(在此概括地指代芯片基材、芯片电极材料和封装基板材料)的内部,与基体材料之间形成稳定的掺杂结构,相当于在基体的表面(在此概括地指代芯片电极表面、封装基板表面和开设于芯片中的孔的孔壁)下方形成了数量众多的基桩。由于存在基桩且后续制得的导体加厚层与该基桩相连,因而在最终制得的包括导电籽晶层和导体加厚层的导体柱与基体之间具有很高的结合力,远高于现有技术中通过磁控溅射获得的结合力(最大为0.5N/mm)。此外,在等离子体沉积期间,导电材料的离子在加速电场的作用下以较高的速度飞向基体并沉积在上面,形成等离子体沉积层。等离子体沉积层与基体材料之间具有较大的结合力(大于0.5N/mm),使得最终制得的导体柱不容易从基体脱落或剥离。另一方面,用于离子注入和等离子体沉积的导电材料离子通常具有纳米级的尺寸,在注入或沉积期间分布较为均匀,而且到基体表面的入射角度差别不大。因此,能够确保所得的导电籽晶层具有良好的均匀度和致密性,不容易出现针孔或裂纹现象,这有利于提高导体柱的结构完整性、刚性和导电性。According to the present invention, ions during the ion implantation are forcibly injected into the substrate (herein generally referred to as the chip substrate, the chip electrode material, and the package substrate material) at a high speed, between the substrate and the substrate material. Forming a stable doped structure corresponds to the formation of a large number of sub-piles below the surface of the substrate (here generally referred to as the surface of the chip electrode, the surface of the package substrate, and the walls of the holes that are formed in the holes in the chip). Because of the existence of the pile and the subsequent thickened layer of the conductor is connected to the pile, the joint between the conductor column including the conductive seed layer and the thick layer of the conductor and the substrate is high. It is higher than the bonding force obtained by magnetron sputtering in the prior art (up to 0.5 N/mm). In addition, during plasma deposition, ions of the conductive material fly to the substrate at a higher velocity under the action of an accelerating electric field and are deposited thereon to form a plasma deposited layer. The plasma deposition layer and the base material have a large bonding force (greater than 0.5 N/mm), so that the finally produced conductor post is not easily peeled off or peeled off from the substrate. On the other hand, conductive material ions for ion implantation and plasma deposition generally have a size on the order of nanometers, are more uniformly distributed during implantation or deposition, and have little difference in incident angle to the surface of the substrate. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that the obtained conductive seed layer has good uniformity and compactness, and pinholes or cracks are less likely to occur, which is advantageous for improving the structural integrity, rigidity, and electrical conductivity of the conductor post.

依照本发明,在芯片倒装产品中,将芯片电连接至封装基板的导体柱具有包括离子注入层和/或等离子体沉积层的导电籽晶层。如前文所述,这种导体柱与基体之间具有很高的结合力,因而该芯片倒装产 品也将具有很高的稳定性和可靠性,不容易发生失效或电路故障。此外,由于离子注入层和/或等离子体沉积层具有良好的均匀度和致密性,不容易出现针孔或裂纹现象,导体柱也因此具有很好的结构完整性、刚性和导电性,因而该芯片倒装产品也将具有优异的鲁棒性、导电性能和热性能,可广泛地应用于各种电子产品中。In accordance with the present invention, in a flip chip product, a conductor post electrically connecting a chip to a package substrate has a conductive seed layer including an ion implantation layer and/or a plasma deposition layer.

<第一实施例><First Embodiment>
图2是表示根据本发明的第一实施例的制造导体柱的方法的流程图。该方法涉及在芯片电极的表面上形成导体柱,并且包括以下步骤:在芯片电极的周缘覆盖设有孔的绝缘层(步骤S11);对孔的孔壁和暴露于孔的芯片电极的表面进行离子注入和/或等离子体沉积处理,以形成导电籽晶层(步骤S12);在绝缘层上覆盖光刻胶,通过光刻在光刻胶中形成与孔连通的开口(步骤S21);用导电材料填充孔和开口(步骤 S22);以及,去除光刻胶及其下方的导电籽晶层,以形成导体柱(步骤S23)。其中,步骤S11和S12对应于图1所示的步骤S1,而步骤S21、S22和S23则对应于图1所示的步骤S2。此外,图3(a)-(e)是示出在制造导体柱时与图2所示方法的各步骤相应的结构剖面示意图,将在以下详细描述。2 is a flow chart showing a method of manufacturing a conductor post according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The method relates to forming a conductor post on a surface of a chip electrode, and comprising the steps of: covering an insulating layer provided with a hole at a periphery of the chip electrode (step S11); performing a hole wall of the hole and a surface of the chip electrode exposed to the hole Ion implantation and/or plasma deposition treatment to form a conductive seed layer (step S12); covering the insulating layer with a photoresist, forming an opening in the photoresist in contact with the hole by photolithography (step S21); Conductive material fills holes and openings (steps S22); and removing the photoresist and the conductive seed layer underneath to form a conductor post (step S23). Among them, steps S11 and S12 correspond to step S1 shown in FIG. 1, and steps S21, S22 and S23 correspond to step S2 shown in FIG. 1. In addition, FIGS. 3(a)-(e) are schematic cross-sectional views showing the structure corresponding to the steps of the method shown in FIG. 2 when manufacturing the conductor post, which will be described in detail below.
在步骤S11中,如图3(a)所示,首先在芯片10的电极12的周缘覆盖设有孔28的绝缘层26。绝缘层26可包括聚酰亚胺(PI)、聚苯并噁唑(PBO)、苯并环丁烯(BCB)等材料,而形成于绝缘层26中的孔28可根据需要而具有圆柱形、矩形、方形、三角形、倒梯形等各种各样的剖面形状。此外,还可以先在芯片电极的周缘覆盖上一层钝化层,然后在该钝化层上覆盖绝缘层并开设孔,其中钝化层可包括氧化硅或氮化硅等氧化物材料。容易理解,尽管在图3(a)中示出的电极12被嵌入到芯片10中,使得它们两者的外表面相齐平,但这仅仅是为了方便图示,实际上电极12也可以从芯片10的表面突出,成为突起状的结构。In step S11, as shown in FIG. 3(a), first, the insulating layer 26 provided with the holes 28 is covered on the periphery of the electrode 12 of the chip 10. The insulating layer 26 may include a material such as polyimide (PI), polybenzoxazole (PBO), benzocyclobutene (BCB), and the holes 28 formed in the insulating layer 26 may have a cylindrical shape as needed. Various cross-sectional shapes such as rectangles, squares, triangles, and inverted trapezoids. In addition, a passivation layer may be first covered on the periphery of the chip electrode, and then the insulating layer is covered on the passivation layer and a hole is formed. The passivation layer may include an oxide material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride. It is easy to understand that although the electrodes 12 shown in FIG. 3(a) are embedded in the chip 10 such that the outer surfaces of both of them are flush, this is merely for convenience of illustration, and in fact the electrodes 12 may also be from the chip. The surface of 10 is protruded and has a protruding structure.
在步骤S12中,可先对孔28的孔壁和暴露于孔28的芯片电极12的表面进行离子注入处理,以形成离子注入层161,接着进行等离子体沉积处理,以形成等离子体沉积层162,该等离子体沉积层162和离子注入层161一起组成导电籽晶层16。如图3(b)所示,离子注入层161位于芯片电极12的表面14下方、孔28的孔壁下方和绝缘层26的表面下方,而等离子体沉积层162则相应地位于离子注入层161的上方,离子注入层161和等离子体沉积层162一起组成导电籽晶层。除了先进行离子注入后进行等离子体沉积之外,在形成导电籽晶层时,还可以仅通过离子注入将导电材料注入到芯片电极表面、孔壁和绝缘层表面的下方,以形成离子注入层作为导电籽晶层,或者可以仅通过等离子体沉积将导电材料沉积到芯片电极表面、孔壁和绝缘层表面的上方,以形成等离子体沉积层作为导电籽晶层。可选地,还可以先进行等离子体沉积后进行离子注入处理,从而在芯片电极表面、孔 壁和绝缘层表面的上方形成等离子体沉积层,并在该等离子体沉积层的表面下方形成离子注入层。此外,在各种形成导电籽晶层的方法中,均可以进行一次或多次离子注入和/或等离子体沉积处理,以形成一个或多个离子注入层和/或等离子体沉积层。In step S12, the hole wall of the hole 28 and the surface of the chip electrode 12 exposed to the hole 28 may be subjected to an ion implantation process to form an ion implantation layer 161, followed by a plasma deposition process to form a plasma deposition layer 162. The plasma deposition layer 162 and the ion implantation layer 161 together constitute a conductive seed layer 16. As shown in FIG. 3(b), the ion implantation layer 161 is located below the surface 14 of the chip electrode 12, below the hole wall of the hole 28, and below the surface of the insulating layer 26, and the plasma deposition layer 162 is correspondingly located in the ion implantation layer 161. Above, the ion implantation layer 161 and the plasma deposition layer 162 together constitute a conductive seed layer. In addition to plasma deposition after ion implantation, when a conductive seed layer is formed, a conductive material may be implanted only under the surface of the chip electrode, the wall of the hole, and the surface of the insulating layer by ion implantation to form an ion implantation layer. As the conductive seed layer, a conductive material may be deposited only on the surface of the chip electrode, the walls of the holes, and the surface of the insulating layer by plasma deposition to form a plasma deposited layer as a conductive seed layer. Alternatively, it is also possible to perform plasma implantation after ion implantation to form a surface of the chip electrode and a hole.

离子注入可通过以下方法来进行:使用导电材料作为靶材,在真 空环境下,通过电弧作用使靶材中的导电材料电离而产生离子,然后在电场下使该离子加速而获得一定的能量。高能的导电材料离子接着以较高的速度直接撞击到芯片电极的表面、孔的孔壁和绝缘层的表面上,并且注入到表面或孔壁下方一定的深度处。在所注入的导电材料离子与芯片电极和绝缘层的材料分子之间形成了较为稳定的化学键,例如离子键或共价键,二者共同构成了掺杂结构。该掺杂结构(即,离子注入层)的外表面与芯片电极的表面、孔的孔壁或绝缘层的表面相齐平,而其内表面则深入到芯片电极和绝缘层的内部,即,位于芯片电极的表面、孔的孔壁和绝缘层的表面下方。在离子注入过程中,可通过控制各种参数(例如电场电压、电流、真空度、离子注入剂量等)而容易地调节离子注入的深度、以及基体(在此指代芯片电极材料和绝缘层材料)与导电籽晶层之间的结合力。例如,离子的注入能量可被调节为1-1000keV(例如5、10、50、100、200、300、400、500、600、700、800、900keV等),注入深度可被调节为1-500nm(例如5、10、50、100、200、300、400nm等)。Ion implantation can be performed by using a conductive material as a target, in the true In an empty environment, the conductive material in the target is ionized by an arc to generate ions, and then the ions are accelerated under an electric field to obtain a certain energy. The energetic conductive material ions then impinge directly onto the surface of the chip electrode, the pore walls of the pores, and the surface of the insulating layer at a relatively high velocity, and are implanted to a surface or a depth below the pore walls. A relatively stable chemical bond, such as an ionic bond or a covalent bond, is formed between the implanted conductive material ions and the material molecules of the chip electrode and the insulating layer, which together constitute a doped structure. The outer surface of the doped structure (ie, the ion implantation layer) is flush with the surface of the chip electrode, the hole wall of the hole or the surface of the insulating layer, and the inner surface thereof penetrates into the inside of the chip electrode and the insulating layer, that is, Located on the surface of the chip electrode, the hole wall of the hole, and the surface of the insulating layer. In the ion implantation process, the depth of ion implantation and the substrate can be easily adjusted by controlling various parameters such as electric field voltage, current, degree of vacuum, ion implantation dose, etc. (referring herein as chip electrode material and insulating layer material) The bonding force with the conductive seed layer. For example, the implantation energy of ions can be adjusted to 1-1000 keV (for example, 5, 10, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 keV, etc.), and the implantation depth can be adjusted to 1-500 nm. (eg 5, 10, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 nm, etc.).
等离子体沉积可采用与离子注入相似的方式来进行,只不过在工作过程中施加较低的加速电压。即,同样使用导电材料作为靶材,在真空环境下,通过电弧作用使靶材中的导电材料电离而产生离子,然后在电场下驱使该离子加速而获得一定的能量并沉积到芯片电极的表面、孔的孔壁和绝缘层的表面上,构成等离子体沉积层。在等离子体沉积期间,可以通过调节电场的加速电压而使导电材料的离子获得1-1000eV(例如5、10、50、100、200、300、400、500、600、700、800、900eV等)的能量,并且可以通过控制离子沉积时间、通过电流等而得到厚度为10-1000nm(例如50、100、200、300、400、500、600、700、800、900nm等)的等离子体沉积层。Plasma deposition can be performed in a similar manner to ion implantation, except that a lower accelerating voltage is applied during operation. That is, the conductive material is also used as a target, and in a vacuum environment, the conductive material in the target is ionized by an arc to generate ions, and then the ion is accelerated under an electric field to obtain a certain energy and deposited on the surface of the chip electrode. The wall of the hole and the surface of the insulating layer constitute a plasma deposition layer. During plasma deposition, the ions of the conductive material can be obtained from 1-1000 eV (for example, 5, 10, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 eV, etc.) by adjusting the accelerating voltage of the electric field. The energy, and a plasma deposition layer having a thickness of 10 to 1000 nm (for example, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 nm, etc.) can be obtained by controlling the ion deposition time, passing current, or the like.
在离子注入和/或等离子体沉积时,所用的靶材为导电材料,可以是金属靶材、氧化物靶材、硫化物靶材(例如CdS、ZnS等)、氮化物靶材(例如TiN等)、碳化物靶材(例如WC、VC、Cr4C3等)中的一种或 多种。金属靶材例如可包括Ti、Cr、Ni、Cu、Ag、Al、Au、V、Zr、Mo、Nb、In、Sn、Tb以及它们之间的合金中的一种或多种,而氧化物靶材例如可包括In2O3、SnO2、TiO2、WO3、MoO3和Ga2O3中的一种或多种。优选的是,所用的靶材材料容易与芯片电极材料和绝缘层材料之间形成较大的结合力,例如可采用与芯片电极相同的导电材料。容易理解,在离子注入、等离子体沉积期间采用的靶材可以是相同的靶材,也可以是不同的靶材,从而相应地在最终得到的导电籽晶层中包含相同或者不同的导电材料组分。此外,也可以相继地使用不同的靶材进行离子注入或者进行等离子体沉积,使得在最终获得的导电籽晶层中,离子注入层或者等离子体沉积层被分为一层或多层。本发明人发现,如果先对基体进行离子注入(注入能量为1-1000KeV)后进行等离子体沉积(沉积能量为1-1000eV),这样形成的导电籽晶层与基体之间的结合力将会大大增加,因而是优选的。在要形成导电铜柱的情况下,优选地使用Ti、Cr、Ni或Cr-Ni合金作为形成导电籽晶层用的靶材。In ion implantation and/or plasma deposition, the target used is a conductive material, which may be a metal target, an oxide target, a sulfide target (eg, CdS, ZnS, etc.), a nitride target (eg, TiN, etc.). ), one or more of a carbide target (e.g., WC, VC, Cr 4 C 3 , etc.). The metal target may include, for example, one or more of Ti, Cr, Ni, Cu, Ag, Al, Au, V, Zr, Mo, Nb, In, Sn, Tb, and an alloy therebetween, and the oxide The target may include, for example, one or more of In 2 O 3 , SnO 2 , TiO 2 , WO 3 , MoO 3 , and Ga 2 O 3 . Preferably, the target material used tends to form a large bonding force with the chip electrode material and the insulating layer material, for example, the same conductive material as the chip electrode can be used. It is easy to understand that the targets used during ion implantation and plasma deposition may be the same target or different targets, thereby correspondingly containing the same or different conductive material groups in the finally obtained conductive seed layer. Minute. Further, ion implantation or plasma deposition may be performed successively using different targets such that the ion implantation layer or the plasma deposition layer is divided into one or more layers in the finally obtained conductive seed layer. The inventors have found that if the substrate is first subjected to ion implantation (injection energy is 1-1000 KeV) and plasma deposition (deposition energy is 1-1000 eV), the bonding force between the conductive seed layer and the substrate thus formed will be It is greatly increased and is therefore preferred. In the case where a conductive copper pillar is to be formed, a Ti, Cr, Ni or Cr-Ni alloy is preferably used as a target for forming a conductive seed layer.
在离子注入期间,导电材料的离子以很高的速度强行地注入到基体的内部,与基体材料之间形成稳定的掺杂结构,相当于在基体的表面下方形成了数量众多的基桩。由于存在基桩且后续制得的导体加厚层与该基桩相连,因而在最终制得的包括导电籽晶层和导体加厚层的导体柱与基体之间具有很高的结合力,远高于现有技术中通过磁控溅射获得的结合力(最大为0.5N/mm)。在等离子体沉积期间,导电材料的离子在加速电场的作用下以较高的速度飞向基体并沉积在上面,形成等离子体沉积层。等离子体沉积层与基体材料之间具有较大的结合力(大于0.5N/mm),使得最终制得的导体柱不容易从基体脱落或剥离。另一方面,用于离子注入和等离子体沉积的导电材料离子通常具有纳米级的尺寸,在注入或沉积期间分布较为均匀,而且到基体表面的入射角度差别不大。因此,能够确保所得的导电籽晶层具有良好的均匀度和致密性,不容易出现针孔或裂纹现象,这有利于提高导体柱的结 构完整性、刚性和导电性。During ion implantation, ions of the conductive material are forcibly injected into the interior of the substrate at a very high rate to form a stable doped structure with the matrix material, which is equivalent to forming a large number of piles under the surface of the substrate. Because of the existence of the pile and the subsequent thickened layer of the conductor is connected to the pile, the joint between the conductor column including the conductive seed layer and the thick layer of the conductor and the substrate is high. It is higher than the bonding force obtained by magnetron sputtering in the prior art (up to 0.5 N/mm). During plasma deposition, ions of the conductive material fly to the substrate at a higher velocity under the action of an accelerating electric field and are deposited thereon to form a plasma deposited layer. The plasma deposition layer and the base material have a large bonding force (greater than 0.5 N/mm), so that the finally produced conductor post is not easily peeled off or peeled off from the substrate. On the other hand, conductive material ions for ion implantation and plasma deposition generally have a size on the order of nanometers, are more uniformly distributed during implantation or deposition, and have little difference in incident angle to the surface of the substrate. Therefore, it is ensured that the obtained conductive seed layer has good uniformity and compactness, and pinholes or cracks are less likely to occur, which is advantageous for improving the junction of the conductor column. Structural integrity, rigidity and electrical conductivity.
在形成了导电籽晶层之后,接着在绝缘层的上面覆盖光刻胶,通过现有技术中常见的光刻等工艺在该光刻胶中形成开口(步骤S21)。光刻胶中的开口与之前形成于绝缘层中的孔相连通,以便暴露芯片电极的表面,更具体而言是暴露形成于芯片电极表面上的导电籽晶层。如图3(c)中所示,在绝缘层26的上方覆盖了光刻胶30,并在该光刻胶30中形成有与如图3(b)所示在绝缘层26中形成的孔28相连通的开口32。容易理解,尽管图3(c)所示的开口32的内壁与在绝缘层26中的孔28的孔壁上形成的导电籽晶层的内壁相连续并且对齐,但是本发明并不受限于此。例如,开口32的内径也可以宽于孔28或者形成于孔28的孔壁上的导电籽晶层的内径。After the conductive seed layer is formed, the photoresist is then overlaid on the insulating layer, and an opening is formed in the photoresist by a process such as photolithography which is common in the prior art (step S21). The opening in the photoresist is in communication with a hole previously formed in the insulating layer to expose the surface of the chip electrode, and more specifically to expose a conductive seed layer formed on the surface of the chip electrode. As shown in FIG. 3(c), a photoresist 30 is overlaid over the insulating layer 26, and a hole formed in the insulating layer 26 as shown in FIG. 3(b) is formed in the photoresist 30. 28 connected openings 32. It is easily understood that although the inner wall of the opening 32 shown in FIG. 3(c) is continuous and aligned with the inner wall of the conductive seed layer formed on the wall of the hole 28 in the insulating layer 26, the present invention is not limited thereto. this. For example, the inner diameter of the opening 32 can also be wider than the inner diameter of the aperture 28 or the conductive seed layer formed on the aperture wall of the aperture 28.
然后,在步骤S22中,用导电材料填充孔和开口,以形成位于导电籽晶层上方的柱状导体加厚层。导体加厚层可以通过电镀、化学镀、真空蒸发镀、溅射等方法中的一种或多种处理方式,使用例如Al、Mn、Fe、Ti、Cr、Co、Ni、Cu、Ag、Au、V、Zr、Mo、Nb及它们之间的合金中的一种或多种来形成。Cu、Ag、Au和Al由于具有良好的导电性而广泛地应用于导电柱中。因为电镀的速度快、成本低,而且可电镀材料的范围非常广泛,尤其适用于Cu、Ni、Sn、Ag以及它们之间的合金等,因而通常使用电镀法来制备导体加厚层。对于某些导电材料(特别是Al、Cu、Ag及其合金)而言,溅射的速度可以达到100nm/min,因而可使用溅射方法在导电籽晶层上快速地镀覆导体加厚层。由于之前已经通过离子注入和/或等离子体沉积形成了均匀、致密的导电籽晶层,所以很容易通过上述各种方法在导电籽晶层上形成均匀、致密的导体加厚层,进而与导电籽晶层一起组成导体柱。如图3(d)所示,通过电镀方法在孔28和开口32中填充了导体加厚层18。在使用铜进行电镀而形成导体加厚层18时,便得到常用的铜柱。Then, in step S22, the holes and openings are filled with a conductive material to form a columnar conductor thickened layer over the conductive seed layer. The thickened layer of the conductor may be treated by one or more of electroplating, electroless plating, vacuum evaporation plating, sputtering, etc., using, for example, Al, Mn, Fe, Ti, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag, Au. Formed by one or more of V, Zr, Mo, Nb, and an alloy therebetween. Cu, Ag, Au, and Al are widely used in conductive pillars because of their good electrical conductivity. Because of the high speed and low cost of electroplating, and the wide range of electroplatable materials, especially for Cu, Ni, Sn, Ag, and alloys between them, electroplating is commonly used to prepare conductor thickened layers. For some conductive materials (especially Al, Cu, Ag and their alloys), the sputtering speed can reach 100 nm/min, so the conductor thickening layer can be quickly plated on the conductive seed layer using a sputtering method. . Since a uniform, dense conductive seed layer has been formed by ion implantation and/or plasma deposition, it is easy to form a uniform, dense conductor thick layer on the conductive seed layer by the above various methods, and then conduct electricity. The seed layers together form a conductor post. As shown in FIG. 3(d), the hole 28 and the opening 32 are filled with a conductor thickened layer 18 by an electroplating method. When copper is used for electroplating to form the conductor thickened layer 18, a conventional copper pillar is obtained.
最后,在步骤S23中,去除光刻胶及其下方的导电籽晶层,从而形成导体柱。如图3(e)所示,导体加厚层18周围的光刻胶30已被移 除,光刻胶30下方的导电籽晶层也已通过蚀刻等方式而被移除,得到了两个彼此电分离的导体柱20。每个导体柱20均包括设置在芯片电极表面12上的导电籽晶层16和在该导电籽晶层16的上方形成的柱状的导体加厚层18。由于离子注入层161的存在,导体柱20的一端被埋入芯片10(具体而言是芯片电极12)的内部,另一端则位于芯片10的表面上方。尽管在图中显示了两个分开的导体柱20,但是容易理解,相应于芯片电极12的个数且根据需要,所得导体柱20的数量可以是仅仅一个,也可以是三个或三个以上。此外,容易理解,尽管图3(e)所示的导体柱20为实心的柱状,但是本发明并不受限于此,该导体柱20也可以是中空的。Finally, in step S23, the photoresist and the conductive seed layer under it are removed to form a conductor post. As shown in FIG. 3(e), the photoresist 30 around the conductor thickened layer 18 has been removed. In addition, the conductive seed layer under the photoresist 30 has also been removed by etching or the like, resulting in two conductor posts 20 electrically separated from each other. Each conductor post 20 includes a conductive seed layer 16 disposed on the chip electrode surface 12 and a columnar conductor thick layer 18 formed over the conductive seed layer 16. Due to the presence of the ion implantation layer 161, one end of the conductor post 20 is buried inside the chip 10 (specifically, the chip electrode 12), and the other end is located above the surface of the chip 10. Although two separate conductor posts 20 are shown in the figures, it will be readily understood that the number of the resulting conductor posts 20 may be one, or three or more, depending on the number of chip electrodes 12 and, if desired. . Further, it is easily understood that although the conductor post 20 shown in Fig. 3(e) is a solid columnar shape, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the conductor post 20 may be hollow.
图4是示出使用图2所示方法制得的另一导体柱的剖面示意图。在该示例中,芯片电极12从芯片10的表面突出,成为突起状的结构。相应地,绝缘层26覆盖芯片电极12的周缘以及芯片10表面的未形成电极的部分,而导电籽晶层16则形成于芯片电极12的表面上和开设于绝缘层26的孔28的内壁上。4 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing another conductor post produced using the method shown in FIG. 2. In this example, the chip electrode 12 protrudes from the surface of the chip 10 and has a protruding structure. Accordingly, the insulating layer 26 covers the periphery of the chip electrode 12 and the portion of the surface of the chip 10 where the electrode is not formed, and the conductive seed layer 16 is formed on the surface of the chip electrode 12 and on the inner wall of the hole 28 of the insulating layer 26. .
<第二实施例><Second embodiment>
图6是表示根据本发明的第二实施例的制造导体柱的方法的流程图。该方法涉及在形成于芯片中的孔的孔壁上形成导体柱,包括以下步骤:对一块芯片或者层叠在一起的两块或多块芯片进行钻通孔,在通孔的周围覆盖绝缘层(步骤S11);对通孔的孔壁进行离子注入和/或等离子体沉积处理,以形成贯穿一块芯片或者层叠在一起的两块或多块芯片的导电籽晶层(步骤S12);用导电材料填充通孔(步骤S21);以及,去除绝缘层以形成导体柱(步骤S22)。其中,步骤S11和S12对应于图1所示的步骤S1,而步骤S21和S22则对应于图1所示的步骤S2。此外,图7(a)-(d)是示出在制造导体柱时与图6所示方法的各步骤相应的结构剖面示意图,将在以下详细描述。Figure 6 is a flow chart showing a method of manufacturing a conductor post according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The method relates to forming a conductor post on a wall of a hole formed in a hole in a chip, comprising the steps of: drilling a through hole in a chip or two or more chips stacked together, and covering an insulating layer around the through hole ( Step S11); performing ion implantation and/or plasma deposition treatment on the hole walls of the through holes to form a conductive seed layer of two or more chips that are passed through one chip or stacked together (step S12); using a conductive material The via hole is filled (step S21); and, the insulating layer is removed to form a conductor post (step S22). Among them, steps S11 and S12 correspond to step S1 shown in FIG. 1, and steps S21 and S22 correspond to step S2 shown in FIG. 1. Further, FIGS. 7(a)-(d) are schematic cross-sectional views showing the structure corresponding to the steps of the method shown in FIG. 6 in the manufacture of the conductor post, which will be described in detail below.
在步骤S11中,如图7(a)所示,首先对包括芯片电极12的一块芯片10或者层叠在一起的两块或多块芯片10进行钻通孔36,然后在通 孔36的周围覆盖绝缘层26。该通孔36可以贯穿各个芯片10上的芯片电极12,也可以仅贯穿其中一些芯片上的电极或者是某个特定芯片上的一些电极。例如,通孔36可以仅仅贯穿图7(a)所示的上层芯片10中的左侧电极,而不贯穿右侧电极。如第一实施例中所述,在此采用的绝缘层26也可包括聚酰亚胺(PI)、聚苯并噁唑(PBO)、苯并环丁烯(BCB)等材料。在采用层叠在一起的两块或多块芯片时,这两块或多块芯片可以直接堆叠在一起,也可以如图7(a)所示在各个芯片之间介入放置绝缘隔离层34。绝缘隔离层34典型地使用常见的半固化片,也可以使用PP、PI、PTO、PC、PSU、PES、PPS、PS、PE、PEI、PTFE、PEEK、PA、PET、PEN、LCP、PPA等有机高分子薄膜。此外,虽然通孔的实施方式在本领域中较为普遍,但是本发明并不受限于此。事实上,除了通孔之外,也可以对一块芯片或者层叠在一起的两块或多块芯片钻盲孔,只要该盲孔能够贯穿各个芯片上的相应芯片电极即可。在钻孔时,可以采用机械钻孔、冲孔、激光打孔、等离子体刻蚀和反应离子刻蚀等,其中激光打孔又可使用红外激光打孔、YAG激光打孔和紫外激光打孔,可在基材上形成孔径达到2-5微米的微孔。孔的剖面形状可以是圆形、矩形、梯台形等各种各样的形状,在激光钻孔时通常形成纵向剖面为倒置梯形的孔。在钻孔之后且在孔壁上形成导电籽晶层之前,可以采用等离子体清洗或化学腐蚀方法来进行胶渣去除处理,以去除在钻孔期间残留在孔壁上的树脂或者切割碎片等,避免层间互连和可靠性出现问题。In step S11, as shown in FIG. 7(a), first, a chip 10 including the chip electrodes 12 or two or more chips 10 stacked together are drilled through holes 36, and then passed through. The periphery of the hole 36 is covered with an insulating layer 26. The through holes 36 may extend through the chip electrodes 12 on the respective chips 10, or may only penetrate the electrodes on some of the chips or some of the electrodes on a particular chip. For example, the through hole 36 may only pass through the left side electrode in the upper layer chip 10 shown in FIG. 7(a) without penetrating the right side electrode. As described in the first embodiment, the insulating layer 26 employed herein may also include materials such as polyimide (PI), polybenzoxazole (PBO), benzocyclobutene (BCB), and the like. When two or more chips stacked together are used, the two or more chips may be directly stacked together, or the insulating isolation layer 34 may be interposed between the respective chips as shown in Fig. 7(a). The insulating isolation layer 34 typically uses a common prepreg, and can also use organic highs such as PP, PI, PTO, PC, PSU, PES, PPS, PS, PE, PEI, PTFE, PEEK, PA, PET, PEN, LCP, PPA, etc. Molecular film. Moreover, although embodiments of through holes are common in the art, the invention is not limited thereto. In fact, in addition to the through holes, it is also possible to drill a blind hole for one chip or two or more chips stacked together as long as the blind holes can penetrate the corresponding chip electrodes on the respective chips. When drilling, mechanical drilling, punching, laser drilling, plasma etching and reactive ion etching can be used. Laser drilling can also use infrared laser drilling, YAG laser drilling and UV laser drilling. Micropores having a pore diameter of 2 to 5 μm can be formed on the substrate. The cross-sectional shape of the hole may be various shapes such as a circular shape, a rectangular shape, a ladder shape, and the like, and a hole having an inverted vertical trapezoidal shape in a longitudinal section is usually formed in laser drilling. After the drilling and before the formation of the conductive seed layer on the wall of the hole, the plasma removal or chemical etching method may be used for the removal of the resin to remove the resin or the cutting debris remaining on the wall of the hole during the drilling. Avoid problems with interlayer interconnection and reliability.
在步骤S12中,对通孔的孔壁进行离子注入和/或等离子体沉积处理,以形成贯穿一块芯片或者层叠在一起的两块或多块芯片的导电籽晶层。此时,在通孔的孔壁上和绝缘层的表面上形成了包括离子注入层和/或等离子体沉积层的导电籽晶层。如前所述,该导电籽晶层的剖面结构可以是图5(a)至5(e)所示的任何一种,其中的基体22在该实施例中表示芯片电极材料或芯片基材、以及覆盖在通孔周围的绝缘层,而基体22的表面则表示形成于芯片中的通孔36的孔壁、以及绝缘层 的表面。例如,在步骤S12中形成的导电籽晶层可以仅仅包括注入到基体的表面下方的离子注入层、或者沉积到基体的表面上方的等离子体沉积层,或者包括位于基体表面上方的等离子体沉积层以及注入到等离子体沉积层内部的离子注入层。其中,每个离子注入层、等离子体沉积层又可分为两层或更多层。在图7(b)所示的示例中,导电籽晶层包括形成于通孔36的孔壁38和绝缘层26的表面下方的离子注入层161、以及沉积到该离子注入层161的上方的等离子体沉积层162。离子注入和等离子体沉积的实施方法如前文所述,可以产生在与基体材料之间具有很大结合力的导电籽晶层,该导电籽晶层具有良好的均匀度和致密性,不容易出现针孔或裂纹现象。In step S12, the hole walls of the via holes are subjected to ion implantation and/or plasma deposition processing to form a conductive seed layer of two or more chips that are passed through one chip or stacked together. At this time, a conductive seed layer including an ion implantation layer and/or a plasma deposition layer is formed on the pore walls of the via holes and on the surface of the insulating layer. As described above, the cross-sectional structure of the conductive seed layer may be any of those shown in FIGS. 5(a) to 5(e), wherein the substrate 22 in this embodiment represents a chip electrode material or a chip substrate, And an insulating layer covering the through hole, and the surface of the substrate 22 indicates the hole wall of the through hole 36 formed in the chip, and the insulating layer s surface. For example, the conductive seed layer formed in step S12 may include only an ion implantation layer implanted under the surface of the substrate, or a plasma deposition layer deposited over the surface of the substrate, or a plasma deposition layer located above the surface of the substrate. And an ion implantation layer implanted into the interior of the plasma deposition layer. Each of the ion implantation layer and the plasma deposition layer may be further divided into two or more layers. In the example shown in FIG. 7(b), the conductive seed layer includes an ion implantation layer 161 formed under the surface of the hole wall 38 of the via hole 36 and the insulating layer 26, and deposited over the ion implantation layer 161. Plasma deposited layer 162. The ion implantation and plasma deposition method can produce a conductive seed layer having a large bonding force with the base material as described above, and the conductive seed layer has good uniformity and compactness, and is not easy to appear. Pinhole or crack phenomenon.
在形成了导电籽晶层之后,接着在步骤S21中,用导电材料填充芯片中的通孔,以形成位于导电籽晶层上方的柱状导体加厚层。如前文所述,可以通过电镀、化学镀、真空蒸发镀、溅射等方法中的一种或多种处理方式来形成导体加厚层。在图7(c)所示的示例中,通过电镀方法在形成于芯片10的通孔36中填充了导体加厚层18。尽管图7(c)所示的导体加厚层18为实心的柱状,但是容易理解,该导体加厚层18也可以不完全填充通孔36,而是仅仅在通孔36的内壁上具有一定的厚度而成为中空的柱状。此外,虽然图7(c)所示的导体加厚层18仅形成于通孔36内并且与形成于绝缘层26表面上的导电籽晶层的外表面相齐平,但是本发明并不受限于此。例如,还可以在通孔36的外部且在绝缘层26的上方形成导体加厚层18。After the conductive seed layer is formed, then in step S21, the via holes in the chip are filled with a conductive material to form a columnar conductor thickened layer over the conductive seed layer. As described above, the conductor thickened layer can be formed by one or more of the methods of electroplating, electroless plating, vacuum evaporation plating, sputtering, and the like. In the example shown in FIG. 7(c), the conductor thickened layer 18 is filled in the through hole 36 formed in the chip 10 by an electroplating method. Although the conductor thickening layer 18 shown in FIG. 7(c) is a solid columnar shape, it is easily understood that the conductor thickening layer 18 may not completely fill the through hole 36, but only has a certain inner wall of the through hole 36. The thickness becomes a hollow column shape. Further, although the conductor thickening layer 18 shown in FIG. 7(c) is formed only in the through hole 36 and is flush with the outer surface of the conductive seed layer formed on the surface of the insulating layer 26, the present invention is not limited. herein. For example, a conductor thickened layer 18 may also be formed on the outside of the via 36 and over the insulating layer 26.
随后,在步骤S22中,去除绝缘层以形成导体柱。如图7(d)所示,绝缘层26及其上方的导电籽晶层均已被移除,得到了两个彼此电分离的导体柱20。每个导体柱20均包括设置在形成于芯片10中的孔的孔壁上的导电籽晶层16和在该导电籽晶层16的上方形成的柱状导体加厚层18。各导体柱20的两端均从芯片10的表面向外突出,以方便随后电连接至封装基板。当然,在形成盲孔的情况下,导体柱20便仅仅在其一端部从芯片10的表面向外突出。尽管在图中显示了两个 分开的导体柱20,但是容易理解,相应于芯片电极12的个数且根据需要,也可以制备仅仅一个、或者三个或三个以上的导体柱20。在去除绝缘层以形成导体柱时,可以使用有机溶剂或碱液等适当的剥离液来溶解绝缘层,同时去除其上方的导电籽晶层。此外,也可以如第一实施例那样,先在绝缘层26的上方覆盖光刻胶,通过光刻而暴露出不需要形成导体柱的导电籽晶层的部分(即,形成于绝缘层26上方的一部分导电籽晶层),然后通过快速蚀刻来去除这部分导电籽晶层;之后,可以剥离绝缘层26,也可以保留绝缘层26以对芯片10上的芯片电极12提供绝缘保护。Subsequently, in step S22, the insulating layer is removed to form a conductor post. As shown in Figure 7(d), both the insulating layer 26 and the conductive seed layer above it have been removed, resulting in two conductor posts 20 that are electrically separated from each other. Each of the conductor posts 20 includes a conductive seed layer 16 disposed on the walls of the holes formed in the holes in the chip 10 and a columnar conductor thickened layer 18 formed over the conductive seed layer 16. Both ends of each of the conductor posts 20 protrude outward from the surface of the chip 10 to facilitate subsequent electrical connection to the package substrate. Of course, in the case of forming a blind hole, the conductor post 20 protrudes outward from the surface of the chip 10 only at one end thereof. Although two are shown in the figure The conductor posts 20 are separated, but it will be readily understood that only one, or three or more conductor posts 20 may be prepared corresponding to the number of chip electrodes 12 and as desired. When the insulating layer is removed to form a conductor post, an appropriate stripping solution such as an organic solvent or an alkali solution may be used to dissolve the insulating layer while removing the conductive seed layer above it. In addition, as in the first embodiment, the photoresist may be overlaid over the insulating layer 26, and a portion of the conductive seed layer that does not need to form a conductor post is exposed by photolithography (ie, formed over the insulating layer 26). A portion of the conductive seed layer) is then removed by rapid etching to remove the portion of the conductive seed layer; thereafter, the insulating layer 26 may be stripped or the insulating layer 26 may remain to provide insulating protection to the chip electrodes 12 on the chip 10.

Among them, steps S21, S22, and S23 correspond to step S2 shown in FIG. 1. Further, FIGS. 9(a)-(d) are schematic cross-sectional views showing the structure corresponding to the steps of the method shown in FIG. 8 when manufacturing the conductor post. The package substrate used in this embodiment may be a single-layer printed wiring board, or may be a laminated multi-layer substrate with a multilayer wiring pattern or a buried-line coreless board. For ease of understanding, only a single-layer printed wiring board will be described below as an example. Further, the substrate on which the package substrate is prepared may include an organic resin such as BT (bismaleimide triazine) resin, epoxy resin, cyanate resin, polyphenylene ether resin, modified resins thereof, or various thereof. combination.
在步骤S1中,如图9(a)所示,相继地对封装基板40的表面42进行离子注入和等离子体沉积处理,以形成包括离子注入层161和等离子体沉积层162的导电籽晶层。其中,离子注入层161位于封装基板40的表面42下方,其外表面与封装基板40的表面42齐平。等离 子体沉积层162则附着于离子注入层161的上方并且位于封装基板40的表面42上方,其内表面与封装基板40的表面42齐平。尽管在图9(a)中示出了包括离子注入层161和等离子体沉积层162两者的导电籽晶层,但是容易理解,该导电籽晶层的剖面结构也可以如前文所述是图5(a)至5(e)所示的任何一种,其中的基体22在该实施例中表示封装基板材料和封装基板的线路材料(即,构成线路图案的材料)。例如,导电籽晶层可以仅仅包括注入到基体的表面下方的离子注入层、或者沉积到基体的表面上方的等离子体沉积层,或者包括位于基体表面上方的等离子体沉积层以及注入到等离子体沉积层内部的离子注入层。其中,每个离子注入层、等离子体沉积层又都可以分为两层或更多层。离子注入和等离子体沉积的实施方法如前文所述,可以产生在与基体材料之间具有很大结合力的导电籽晶层,该导电籽晶层具有良好的均匀度和致密性,不容易出现针孔或裂纹现象。In step S1, as shown in FIG. 9(a), the surface 42 of the package substrate 40 is successively subjected to ion implantation and plasma deposition processing to form a conductive seed layer including the ion implantation layer 161 and the plasma deposition layer 162. . The ion implantation layer 161 is located below the surface 42 of the package substrate 40, and its outer surface is flush with the surface 42 of the package substrate 40. Isolate The daughter deposited layer 162 is then attached over the ion implantation layer 161 and over the surface 42 of the package substrate 40, the inner surface of which is flush with the surface 42 of the package substrate 40. Although a conductive seed layer including both the ion implantation layer 161 and the plasma deposition layer 162 is shown in FIG. 9(a), it is easily understood that the cross-sectional structure of the conductive seed layer may also be as described above. Any one of 5(a) to 5(e), wherein the substrate 22 in this embodiment represents a wiring material for encapsulating the substrate material and the package substrate (i.e., a material constituting the wiring pattern). For example, the conductive seed layer may include only an ion implantation layer implanted below the surface of the substrate, or a plasma deposition layer deposited over the surface of the substrate, or a plasma deposition layer over the surface of the substrate and implantation into the plasma deposition layer. An ion implantation layer inside the layer. Each of the ion implantation layer and the plasma deposition layer may be further divided into two or more layers. The ion implantation and plasma deposition method can produce a conductive seed layer having a large bonding force with the base material as described above, and the conductive seed layer has good uniformity and compactness, and is not easy to appear. Pinhole or crack phenomenon.
容易理解,虽然在图9(a)所示的示例中,直接在封装基板的表面42上形成了导电籽晶层,但是也可以类似于图3(a)至3(b)那样,先在封装基板的线路表面44周围覆盖一层设有孔以暴露该线路表面的绝缘层,然后同时对该线路表面和绝缘层进行离子注入和/或等离子体沉积处理,以形成类似于图3(b)示出的导电籽晶层。在此情况下,可以如同第一实施例那样保留绝缘层,以对封装基板上的线路图案提供绝缘保护。此外,虽然在该实施例中使用的封装基板40是将线路图案埋入其中的基板,但也可以使用常见的线路图案从基板表面突出来的基板。在此情况下,优选地采用如图3(a)至3(b)所示利用绝缘层的方案来形成导电籽晶层。It is easy to understand that although in the example shown in FIG. 9(a), a conductive seed layer is formed directly on the surface 42 of the package substrate, it may be similar to that of FIGS. 3(a) to 3(b). The wiring surface 44 of the package substrate is covered with an insulating layer provided with a hole to expose the surface of the wiring, and then the wiring surface and the insulating layer are simultaneously ion-implanted and/or plasma-deposited to form a pattern similar to FIG. 3 (b). ) a conductive seed layer as shown. In this case, the insulating layer may be left as in the first embodiment to provide insulation protection for the wiring pattern on the package substrate. Further, although the package substrate 40 used in this embodiment is a substrate in which a wiring pattern is buried, a substrate in which a common wiring pattern protrudes from the surface of the substrate may be used. In this case, it is preferable to form a conductive seed layer using a scheme of using an insulating layer as shown in FIGS. 3(a) to 3(b).
此后,在导电籽晶层的上面覆盖光刻胶,通过常规的光刻等工艺在该光刻胶中形成开口(步骤S21),以便暴露封装基板的线路表面,更具体而言是暴露形成于该线路表面上方的导电籽晶层。如图9(b)中所示,在导电籽晶层的上方覆盖了光刻胶30,该光刻胶30在线路表面44的正上方形成了开口32。 Thereafter, a photoresist is coated on the conductive seed layer, and an opening is formed in the photoresist by a conventional photolithography process (step S21) to expose the wiring surface of the package substrate, more specifically, the exposure is formed on A conductive seed layer above the surface of the line. As shown in FIG. 9(b), a photoresist 30 is overlaid over the conductive seed layer, and the photoresist 30 forms an opening 32 directly above the line surface 44.
然后,在步骤S22中,用导电材料填充光刻胶中的开口,以形成位于导电籽晶层上方的柱状导体加厚层。如前文所述,可以通过电镀、化学镀、真空蒸发镀、溅射等方法中的一种或多种处理方式来形成导体加厚层。如图9(c)所示,通过电镀方法在开设于光刻胶30的开口32中填充了导体加厚层18。该导体加厚层18可以如图9(c)所示为实心的柱状,也可以仅仅在开口32的内壁上具有一定厚度而成为中空的柱状,例如在电镀时间较短时。此外,虽然图9(c)所示的导体加厚层18位于开口32内并且低于光刻胶30的外表面,但是容易理解,该导体加厚层18也可以与光刻胶30的外表面齐平或者从光刻胶30的外表面突出来。Then, in step S22, the opening in the photoresist is filled with a conductive material to form a columnar conductor thickened layer over the conductive seed layer. As described above, the conductor thickened layer can be formed by one or more of the methods of electroplating, electroless plating, vacuum evaporation plating, sputtering, and the like. As shown in FIG. 9(c), the conductor thickened layer 18 is filled in the opening 32 formed in the photoresist 30 by an electroplating method. The conductor thickening layer 18 may have a solid column shape as shown in FIG. 9(c), or may have a certain thickness on the inner wall of the opening 32 to have a hollow column shape, for example, when the plating time is short. In addition, although the conductor thickening layer 18 shown in FIG. 9(c) is located in the opening 32 and lower than the outer surface of the photoresist 30, it is easily understood that the conductor thickening layer 18 may also be external to the photoresist 30. The surface is flush or protrudes from the outer surface of the photoresist 30.
最后,在步骤S23中,去除光刻胶及其下方的导电籽晶层,从而形成导体柱。如图9(d)所示,导体加厚层18周围的光刻胶30已被移除,该光刻胶30下方的导电籽晶层也已经通过蚀刻等方式而被移除,得到了两个彼此电分离的导体柱20。由于在该实施例中直接在封装基板40的表面42上形成了导电籽晶层,因而封装基板40的材料及其线路表面的一部分材料也会被蚀刻掉,会导致封装基板40的整体厚度减小。两个导体柱20中的每一个均包括设置在封装基板的线路表面上的导电籽晶层16和在该导电籽晶层16的上方形成的柱状导体加厚层18。由于离子注入层161的存在,导体柱20的一端被埋入封装基板40(具体而言是封装基板的线路图案)的内部,另一端则位于封装基板40的表面上方。尽管在图中显示了两个分开的导体柱20,但是容易理解,相应于封装基板表面上的线路图案且根据需要,可以制备仅仅一个、或者三个甚至三个以上的导体柱20。另外,尽管导体柱20在图9(d)中示出为实心的柱状,但也可以是中空的柱状。Finally, in step S23, the photoresist and the conductive seed layer under it are removed to form a conductor post. As shown in FIG. 9(d), the photoresist 30 around the conductor thickening layer 18 has been removed, and the conductive seed layer under the photoresist 30 has also been removed by etching or the like to obtain two. A conductor post 20 that is electrically separated from each other. Since a conductive seed layer is formed directly on the surface 42 of the package substrate 40 in this embodiment, the material of the package substrate 40 and a portion of the material of the wiring surface thereof are also etched away, resulting in a reduction in the overall thickness of the package substrate 40. small. Each of the two conductor posts 20 includes a conductive seed layer 16 disposed on a wiring surface of the package substrate and a columnar conductor thick layer 18 formed over the conductive seed layer 16. Due to the presence of the ion implantation layer 161, one end of the conductor post 20 is buried inside the package substrate 40 (specifically, the wiring pattern of the package substrate), and the other end is located above the surface of the package substrate 40. Although two separate conductor posts 20 are shown in the figures, it will be readily appreciated that only one, or three or even three or more conductor posts 20 may be fabricated corresponding to the line patterns on the surface of the package substrate and as desired. Further, although the conductor post 20 is shown as a solid column shape in FIG. 9(d), it may be a hollow column shape.
