本实施例中,为了便于布线,功能区域206位于半导体芯片205的中间位置,所述焊盘207位于所述半导体芯片205的边缘位置,且所述焊盘207位于所述功能区域206的四侧,呈矩形分布,每一个侧边形成有若干个焊盘207,且焊盘207的数量取决于半导体芯片205的类型。将所述焊盘207与电路布线层203相连接,通过电路布线层203使所述半导体芯片205与外部电路连接。

所述导电凸块204的作用包括:一方面,实现电路布线层203与焊盘207之间的电连接;另一方面,由于焊盘207与电路布线层203之间设置有导电凸块204,使得功能区域206与电路布线层203在垂直于基底201表面方向上的距离较大,防止功能区域206触碰到电路布线层203,进而避免功能区域206受到损伤。本实施例中,所述导电凸块204的厚度大于功能区域206内感光元件的厚度。
所述封装结构还包括:位于所述基板上的焊接凸起211,所述焊接凸起211与所述电路布线层203电连接。本实施例中,所述焊接凸起211位于所述电路布线层203上,所述焊接凸起211使焊盘207与外部电路电连接,从而使半导体芯片205正常工作。所述焊接凸起211的材料为金、锡或锡合金。本实施例中,所述焊接凸起211顶部表面形状为弧形。

本实施例中,所述密封层210除位于半导体芯片205侧壁上外,所述密封层210还位于基板上以及电路布线层203上,且所述密封层210顶部低于半导体芯片205底部表面,或者密封层210顶部与半导体芯片205底部表面齐平,需要说明的是,所述底部表面指的是与半导体芯片205正面相对的面。
本实施例中,所述密封层210与所述焊接凸起211之间相互分离。在其他实施例中,所述焊接凸起还可以位于所述密封层内且贯穿所述密封层,换句话说,所述焊接凸起位于基板上且位于半导体芯片的外侧。具体的,参考图5,所述密封层210覆盖投影区域之外的基板上以及电路布线层203上,且还覆盖半导体芯片205侧壁表面以及底部表面;所述焊接凸起211位于所述密封层210内且贯穿所述密封层210。
本实施例中,所述阻挡结构208位于基板上以及电路布线层203上,且还环绕所述功能区域206。阻挡结构208、半导体芯片205、基板以及电路布线层203围成封闭区域,使得所述密封层210材料难以进入封闭区域内,从而有效的阻挡密封层210的材料进入功能区域206内,避免对功能区域206造成污染。
具体的,位于所述基板或电路布线层203上的导电凸块204围成指定区域,且所述阻挡结构208位于所述指定区域内;也可以认为,所述阻挡结构208位于前述的投影区域内,且还位于导电凸块204与所述功能区域206之间。其中,所述阻挡结构208顶部表面与所述半导体芯片205正面相接触,所述阻挡结构208底部表面与所述电路布线层203以及基板相接触。
本实施例中,由于所述基板包括基底201以及缓冲层202,相应的,所述阻挡结构208位于所述电路布线层203上、以及缓冲层202上;所述阻挡结构208顶部表面与所述半导体芯片205正面相接触,所述阻挡结构208底部表面与所述电路布线层203以及缓冲层202相接触。

本实施例中,在平行于所述基板表面方向上,所述阻挡结构208的顶部表面宽度尺寸等于底部表面宽度尺寸。在其他实施例中,为了减小阻挡结构占据半导体芯片正面的空间尺寸,所述阻挡结构的顶部表面宽度尺寸还可以小于底部表面宽度尺寸,使得阻挡结构与半导体芯片正面相接触的面积较小,从而节约半导体芯片的体积。
所述阻挡结构208的形状为封闭环形。在平行于所述基板表面方向上,所述阻挡结构208的剖面形状为方形环形、圆形环形、椭圆形环形或不规则形状环形。本实施例中,以所述阻挡结构208的剖面形状为方形环形作为示例。
此外,还需要说明的是,所述阻挡结构208的形状还可以与所述导电凸块204围成的指定区域的形状相匹配,例如,所述导电凸块204围成的区域的形状为方形,所述导电凸块208的剖面形状为方形环形;所述导电凸块204围成的区域的形状为圆形时,所述导电凸块208的剖面形状为圆形环形。为了避免所述阻挡结构208对封装结构电连接性能造成不良影响,本实施例中,所述阻挡结构208与所述电路布线层203之间相互电绝缘。
本实施例中,所述阻挡结构208为单层结构,且所述阻挡结构的材料为绝缘材料。在其他实施例中,所述阻挡结构还可以为叠层结构。该具有叠层结构的阻挡结构可以包括:与基板以及电路布线层相接触的底层阻挡层、以及与所述半导体芯片正面相接触的顶层阻挡层,其中,所述底层阻挡层的材料为绝缘材料,所述顶层阻挡层的材料为导电材料或绝缘材料。其中,所述导电材料包括铜、铝、钨或锡,所述绝缘材料为感光胶,所述感光胶包括环氧树脂、丙烯酸树脂、聚酰亚胺胶或苯并环丁烯胶。
此外,本实施例中,所述阻挡结构208与所述导电凸块204相互分离,所述阻挡结构208侧壁与所述导电凸块204侧壁之间具有一定的距离,使得所述阻挡结构208不会对导电凸块204的电连接性能造成干扰,所述阻挡结构208的材料可以为绝缘材料,所述阻挡结构208的材料还可以包括导电材料。在其他实施例中,所述阻挡结构侧壁与所述导电凸块侧壁相接触时,由于所述阻挡结构的形状为封闭环形,为了避免所述阻挡结构将相互分立的导电凸块相连而导致导电凸块发生不必要的电连接,所述阻挡结构的材料为绝缘材料。
本实施例提供的封装结构,所述阻挡结构208位于所述导电凸块204围成 的指定区域内,即,所述阻挡结构208位于所述导电凸块204与所述功能区域206之间,使得所述阻挡结构208对功能区域206提供保护作用,防止密封层210材料或者其他材料经由相邻导电凸块204之间的缝隙进入功能区域206内,避免功能区域206受到污染,从而提高封装结构的良率以及电性能。
此外,所述导电凸块204与所述半导体芯片205上的焊盘207位置相对应,由于所述阻挡结构208位于所述导电凸块204与所述功能区域206之间,相应的所述阻挡结构208位于所述焊盘207与所述功能区域206之间,因此无需为放置阻挡结构208而增加焊盘207到半导体芯片205侧壁之间的距离,使得半导体芯片205具有较小的体积,满足封装结构小型化微型化的发展趋势。

还需要说明的是,在其他实施例中,参考图8及图9,位于所述电路布线层303上的导电凸块304围成指定区域,所述阻挡结构308位于所述指定区域外侧;且所述阻挡结构308还位于所述半导体芯片305与所述电路布线层303之间时,所述阻挡结构包括:第一阻挡结构318以及位于第一阻挡结构318一侧且紧挨所述第一阻挡结构318的第二阻挡结构328,其中,所述半导体芯片305投影于基板的区域为投影区域,所述第一阻挡结构318位于所述投影区域外侧, 所述第二阻挡结构328位于所述投影区域内。
并且,所述第二阻挡结构328顶部表面与所述半导体芯片305正面相接触,所述第二阻挡结构328底部表面与所述电路布线层303以及基板相接触。具体的,所述第二阻挡结构328底部表面与所述电路布线层303以及缓冲层302相接触。
由于所述阻挡结构308、半导体芯片305、基板以及电路布线层303之间围成封闭区域,因此,位于所述基板上的第二阻挡结构328的厚度为第一厚度,且所述半导体芯片305正面与所述基板之间的距离等于所述第一厚度;位于所述电路布线层303上的第二阻挡结构328的厚度为第三厚度,且所述半导体芯片305正面与所述电路布线层303之间的距离等于所述第三厚度。具体到本实施例中,位于所述缓冲层302上的第二阻挡结构328的厚度为第一厚度,且所述半导体芯片305正面与所述缓冲层302之间的距离等于所述第一厚度。
相应的,所述密封层310除位于半导体芯片305侧壁上外,还位于所述第一阻挡结构318上。或者,所述密封层310不仅位于所述第一阻挡结构318顶部和侧壁上,且还位于电路布线层303上以及缓冲层302上。
与不具有所述第一阻挡结构的方案相比,所述第一阻挡结构318可以起到密封层的效果,因此所述第一阻挡结构318占据密封层部分空间位置,从而进一步的降低所述密封层310材料污染功能区域306的可能性,并且也相应的进一步防止密封层310材料对导电凸块304造成污染,进一步改善封装结构的性能。
在一实施例中,参考图8,位于所述基板上的第一阻挡结构318的厚度为第二厚度,位于所述基板上的第二阻挡结构328的厚度为第一厚度,且所述第二厚度等于所述第一厚度。也就是说,位于所述基板上的第一阻挡结构318顶部与所述第二阻挡结构328顶部齐平,相应的,位于所述电路布线层303上的第一阻挡结构318顶部与所述第二阻挡结构328顶部齐平。所述密封层319位于所述第一阻挡结构318顶部以及半导体芯片305侧边上。在其他实施例中,所述密封层除位于第一阻挡结构顶部以及半导体芯片侧壁上外,还可以位于电路布线层上以及基板上。
在另一实施例中,参考图9,位于所述基板上的第一阻挡结构318的厚度 为第二厚度,位于所述基板上的第二阻挡结构328的厚度为第一厚度,且所述第二厚度大于所述第一厚度。也就是说,位于所述基板上的第一阻挡结构318顶部高于第二阻挡结构328顶部,相应的,位于所述电路布线层303上的第一阻挡结构318顶部高于第二阻挡结构328顶部,使得所述第一阻挡结构318覆盖半导体芯片305部分侧壁。所述密封层310位于所述第一阻挡结构318顶部以及半导体芯片305侧壁上。在其他实施例中,所述密封层还可以位于电路布线层上以及基板上。由于所述第一阻挡结构318覆盖半导体芯片305部分侧壁,使得第一阻挡结构318阻挡密封层310材料溢入功能区域306的能力进一步得到提高。
本实施例中,通过将所述阻挡结构308设置在导电凸块304围成的指定区域外,在保护所述功能区域306不受到污染的同时,无需在导电凸块304与功能区域306之间为阻挡结构308预留空间位置,因此能够减小导电凸块304与功能区域306之间的距离。
同时,所述阻挡结构308与所述功能区域306之间的距离较远,从而避免所述阻挡结构308对所述功能区域306造成污染或损伤,进一步提高封装结构的性能。
此外,位于所述投影区域外侧的第一阻挡结构318占据密封层310的部分空间位置,进一步降低了密封层310材料溢入功能区域306的可能性;并且,所述第一阻挡结构318和第二阻挡结构328均可以起到阻挡密封层310材料溢入功能区域306的作用,因此本实施例提供的封装结构中功能区域306能够得到更好的保护。
本申请又一实施例还提供一种封装结构,图10及图11为本申请又一实施例提供的封装结构的结构示意图,所述封装结构包括:
基板;

倒装在所述基板上方的半导体芯片405,所述半导体芯片405朝向所述基板的第一表面上设置有功能区域406以及环绕所述功能区域406的焊盘407,且所述焊盘407与所述导电凸块404电连接;

以下将结附图对本实施例提供的封装结构进行详细说明。
所述基板包括基底401以及位于所述基底401上的缓冲层402,且所述缓冲层402具有贯穿所述缓冲层402的开口409。
与前述实施例不同的是,本实施例中,所述半导体芯片405投影于基板的区域为投影区域,所述阻挡结构408位于所述投影区域外侧,相应的,所述阻挡结构408位于所述半导体芯片405外侧且环绕所述半导体芯片405。
为保证所述阻挡结构408具有阻挡密封层410材料溢入功能区域306的能力,所述阻挡结构408顶部高于所述半导体芯片405的第一表面。并且,在垂直于所述基板表面方向上,所述阻挡结构408顶部表面与所述半导体芯片405的第一表面之间的距离不宜过小。若所述距离过小,则密封层410材料较易经由阻挡结构408与半导体芯片405之间的孔隙溢入功能区域406内,使得阻挡结构408阻挡密封层410材料溢入的能力较弱。
为此,本实施例中,在垂直于所述基板表面方向上,所述阻挡结构408顶部表面与所述半导体芯片405的第一表面之间的距离为2微米~10微米。
在平行于所述基板表面方向上,所述阻挡结构408与所述半导体芯片405侧壁之间具有间隙。若所述间隙的宽度尺寸过大,则密封层410的材料易经由所述间隙溢入功能区域406内。为此,在平行于所述基板表面方向上,所述间隙的宽度尺寸为等于2微米~10微米。
还需要说明的是,所述阻挡结构408还可以覆盖所述半导体芯片405侧壁,也就是说,所述间隙的宽度尺寸可以为0。
所述密封层410除位于半导体芯片405侧壁上外,还位于所述阻挡结构408顶部上。此外,所述密封层410还可以位于电路布线层403上以及缓冲层402上。
所述封装结构还包括:位于所述基板上的焊接凸起411,所述焊接凸块411与电路布线层403电连接。本实施例中,所述焊接凸起411位于所述电路布线层403上。
在一实施例中,参考图10,所述阻挡结构408覆盖所述电路布线层403以 及缓冲层402,所述焊接凸起411位于所述阻挡结构408内且贯穿所述阻挡结构408,且所述密封层410位于阻挡结构408部分顶部。需要说明的是,在其他实施例中,所述密封层还可以覆盖阻挡结构的整个顶部,且所述焊接凸起还贯穿所述密封层。
在另一实施例中,参考图11,所述阻挡结构408位于部分电路布线层403上以及部分基板上,所述焊接凸起411与所述阻挡结构408之间相互分离,且所述密封层410位于所述阻挡结构408顶部上。在其他实施例中,所密封层还可以覆盖电路布线层以及基板上,所述焊接凸起位于所述密封层内且贯穿所述密封层。
所述阻挡结构408的形状为封闭形状,所述阻挡结构408的材料为绝缘材料或导电材料,有关所述阻挡结构408的材料和结构的描述可参考前述实施例的相应描述,在此不再赘述。
本申请提供的封装结构中,所述阻挡结构顶部高于所述半导体芯片的第一表面,使得所述阻挡结构可以阻挡密封层的材料溢入功能区域内,从而防止功能区域受到污染,使得封装结构具有较高的性能,所述封装结构的良率得到提高。
此外,由于阻挡结构408位于半导体芯片405投影于基板上的投影区域外侧,因此所述半导体芯片405中无需为阻挡结构408预留空间位置;并且,所述阻挡结构408对所述基板与所述半导体芯片405之间的倒装无影响,因此所述阻挡结构408不会对所述基板以及半导体芯片405之间的空间布局产生影响。
相应的,本申请还提供一种形成前述封装结构的封装方法,包括:提供若干单个的半导体芯片,所述半导体芯片的第一表面具有功能区域以及环绕所述功能区域的焊盘;提供基板,所述基板包括倒装区以及位于相邻倒装区之间的切割道区域;在所述基板的倒装区上设置有若干分立的电路布线层;将所述半导体芯片倒装在所述基板倒装区上方,且所述焊盘与所述电路布线层通过导电凸块实现电连接;在所述基板上形成密封层,且所述密封层包围所述半导体芯片;在形成所述密封层之后,沿所述切割道区域切割所述基板,形成若干单颗封装结构;其中,在形成所述密封层之前,还包括:在所述基 板上形成阻挡结构,所述阻挡结构环绕功能区域,以阻挡所述密封层的材料溢入功能区域。
本申请中,由于在形成密封层之前,在所述基板上形成有阻挡结构,所述阻挡结构环绕所述功能区域且适于阻挡密封层的材料溢入功能区域;因此,在形成密封层的工艺过程中,所述阻挡结构对功能区域起到保护作用,防止密封层材料溢入功能区域内,使得形成的封装结构的性能和良率得到改善。

在其他实施例中,参考图19,所述阻挡结构308包括第一阻挡结构318以 及紧挨所述第一阻挡结构318的第二阻挡结构328。其中,所述第二阻挡结构328顶部表面与所述半导体芯片305正面相接触,且第一阻挡结构318顶部与半导体芯片305正面齐平;或者,第一阻挡结构318顶部高于半导体芯片305正面,且第一阻挡结构318还覆盖半导体芯片305侧壁。相应的,形成的所述密封层310位于所述第一阻挡结构318顶部上,所述密封层310还可以位于电路布线层上。所述第一阻挡结构318可以起到密封层310的作用,使得第一阻挡结构318占据原本应形成密封层310的空间位置,从而进一步的降低了密封层310材料溢入功能区域306的风险。

本实施例中,在将所述半导体芯片405倒装在所述基板倒装区I上方之后,所述半导体芯片405投影于基板的区域为投影区域,所述阻挡结构408位于所述投影区域外侧,且所述阻挡结构408顶部高于所述半导体芯片405正面。
本实施例中,所述阻挡结构408与所述半导体芯片405侧壁之间具有间隙;由于后续会在所述阻挡结构408上形成覆盖半导体芯片405侧壁的密封层,若 所述间隙的宽度尺寸过大,则所述密封层的材料易经由所述间隙溢入功能区域406内。为此,本实施例中,在平行于所述基板表面方向上,所述间隙的宽度尺寸为2微米~10微米。
本实施例中,所述阻挡结构408顶部高于所述半导体芯片405正面。为保证阻挡结构408具有较强的阻挡密封层材料溢入的能力,所述阻挡结构408顶部与所述半导体芯片405正面之间的距离不宜过小。为此,本实施例中,在垂直于所述基板表面方向上,所述阻挡结构406顶部表面与所述半导体芯片405正面之间的距离为2微米~10微米。
还需要说明的是,在其他实施例中,所述阻挡结构与所述半导体芯片侧壁之间的间隙宽度尺寸还可以为0,也就是说,所述阻挡结构覆盖所述半导体芯片侧壁。
此外,本实施例中,以在将所述半导体芯片405倒装在所述基板倒装区I上方之前,形成所述阻挡结构408为例,避免了阻挡结构408的工艺过程对半导体芯片405引入不必要的损伤。在其他实施例中,还可以在将所述半导体芯片倒装在所述基板倒装区上方之后,形成所述阻挡结构。
有关形成所述阻挡结构408的工艺步骤可参考前述实施例的描述,在此不再赘述。所述阻挡结构408覆盖电路布线层403的面积可以根据需求进行灵活调整。
参考图21,在所述基板上形成密封层410,所述密封层410包围所述半导体芯片405;在所述基板上形成焊接凸起411,所述焊接凸起411与所述电路布线层403电连接。
本实施例中,所述密封层410还位于阻挡结构408顶部上,且在形成所述密封层410的工艺过程中,所述阻挡结构408适于阻挡所述密封层410的材料溢入功能区域406内,避免功能区域406受到污染。
在其他实施例中,所述密封层还可以位于阻挡结构侧壁上,且还可以位于所述电路布线层上以及基板上。
还需要说明的是,本实施例中,所述阻挡结构408与所述焊接凸起411相互分立。在其他实施例中,所述焊接凸起还可以位于所述阻挡结构内且贯穿所述阻挡结构。
结合参考图21和11,后续的工艺步骤包括,沿切割道区域II切割所述基板,形成若干如图11所示的单颗封装结构。
本申请提供的封装方法,由于在形成密封层之前,先形成了对功能区域起到保护作用的阻挡结构,所述阻挡结构适于阻挡密封层的材料溢入功能区域内,从而防止功能区域受到污染,使得形成的封装结构的性能和良率得到提高。
虽然本申请披露如上,但本申请并非限定于此。任何本领域技术人员,在不脱离本申请的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与修改,因此本申请的保护范围应当以权利要求所限定的范围为准。
