Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to semiconductor device package manufacturing methods and apparatuses for semiconductor device package manufacturing.
- the packaging of semiconductor devices includes various steps in which a photopatternable material is deposited as layer onto a topographically uneven surface.
- a photopatternable dielectric material such as a polyimide material
- RDL redistribution layer
- BGA ball grid array
- photolithographic patterning processes are sensitive to topographic effects, such as differences in patterning layer heights or thickness, due to limitations on the achievable depth of focus (DOF) during exposure processes. Planarization processes that involve only spin-on of materials are considered inadequate for the expected patterning and packaging requirements of future devices due to an inability to sufficiently planarize the topographic features present in some devices.
- a method of electronic device package fabrication includes dispensing a planarizing liquid into a region between adjacent features that protrude from a substrate and processing the planarizing liquid to harden the planarizing liquid to form a substantially solid material in the region between the adjacent features.
- a method of electronic device package fabrication includes positioning a dry patterned film into a region between adjacent features that protrude from a substrate, pressing a planar element onto the dry patterned film on the substrate and heating the dry patterned film to form and planarize a flowable material, and processing the flowable material to harden the flowable material to form a substantially solid material in the region between the adjacent features.
- a planarization apparatus includes a substrate support onto which a substrate can be placed, a liquid dispensing system configured to dispense a planarizing liquid into a region between adjacent features protruding from the substrate, and a hardening system for hardening the planarizing liquid to form a substantially solid material in the region between adjacent features.
- Figure 1 schematically depicts a planarization issue present in electronic device package fabrication processes.
- Figure 2 depicts a trench fill method of planarization according to a first example.
- Figure 3 depicts a multi-layer method for building up a planar redistribution dielectric layer above a patterned surface according to a second example.
- Figure 4 depicts a trench fill method of planarization according to a third example.
- Figure 5 depicts a planarization method according to a fourth example.
- Figure 6 schematically illustrates a planarization process in a redistribution dielectric layer fabrication process above a patterned surface of high-aspect-ratio Cu pillars.
- Figure 7 schematically illustrates a redistribution layer fabrication process including via-on-via stacking.
- Figure 8 depicts a trench fill method of planarization according to a fifth example.
- Figure 9 depicts a planarization apparatus according to an embodiment.
- Figure 10 depicts a planarization apparatus according to another embodiment.
- Fig. 1 schematically depicts a planarization problem encountered in various aspects of a semiconductor device package fabrication.
- a feature 10 and a feature 20 are disposed adjacent to one another on an underlying surface 30 at a distance d1.
- Features 10 and 20 can be semiconductor dies, interconnect elements, or any structure causing uneven terrain locally or globally.
- the underlying surface 30 can be a substrate, a semiconductor die, an interconnect element exposed on a redistribution layer, or any substratum.
- the height of feature 10 from the underlying surface 30 is the height hi
- the height of feature 20 from the underlying surface 30 is the height h2.
- the heights hi and h2 are arbitrary values.
- the height hi and height h2 are substantially equal to one another, but such is not required.
- the heights hi and h2 are each on the order of a micron (pm) or more, for example, 1-10 microns each.
- the distance d1 is arbitrary, but in some instances may be on the order of a millimeter (mm) or more, for example, approximately 5-15 mm. In other instances, the distance d1 may be a micron in size to tens of microns in size, for example 1 micron to 50 microns.
- another device layer (or semiconductor chip) will be formed on, stacked on, or otherwise disposed above the features 10 and 20.
- a deposition process attempting to achieve planar topography may be used, such as a spin-on technique involving a polymeric-type material 40.
- spin-on only techniques provide incomplete or otherwise unsatisfactory planarization results depending on the actual dimensions of distance d1 , height hi , and height h2, along with other parameters, such as viscosity of the polymeric-type material 40 and rotational speed and angular acceleration during the spin-on technique.
- the unsatisfactory planarization is indicated by a step height h3 in Fig. 1.
- the step height h3 is the height from one of the feature 10 and feature 20 to a surface 50 of the polymeric-type material 40.
- step height h3 tend to complicate subsequent fabrication steps. Such may be especially the case when several layers are to be formed one on the other as in a multi-level RDL fabrication process. When multiple layers are being stacked one on the other, planarity differences may accumulate such that subsequent layers in the stack become difficult or impossible to form and pattern appropriately.
- a method of electronic device package fabrication includes dispensing a planarizing liquid into a region between adjacent features that protrude from a substrate, pressing a planar element onto the substrate to reshape the planarizing liquid to fill just in between the adjacent features, processing the planarizing liquid while the planar element is on to harden the planarizing liquid to form a substantially solid material in the region between the adjacent features, and removing the planar element after hardening of the planarizing liquid.
- Fig. 2 depicts a planarization method according to a first example.
- the carrier substrate 200 may be a frame element.
- an adhesion layer (not specifically depicted in drawing) would be required to attach the die 100 to the carrier substrate 200.

- a liquid dispenser 230 is configured to dispense droplets of a polymeric material 240 at various locations in the trench region 220. The droplets may be dispensed at the various locations by movement of the liquid dispenser 230 relative to the carrier substrate 200, movement of the carrier substrate 200 relative to liquid dispenser 230, or a combination of movements by the liquid dispenser 230 and the carrier substrate 200.
- the droplets of polymeric material 240 are dispensed into a region between adjacent die 100. Furthermore, in this first example, no droplets of polymeric material 240 are dispensed directly on an upper surface of any of the die 100.
- the droplets of the polymeric material 240 dispensed into a region between adjacent die 100 may include a matrix of droplets 260.
- a cover element 250 is applied to the surface of the substrate 200 on the die 100 side to planarize the polymeric material 240. Pressure, heating, and/or UV radiation is applied to cure/harden the polymeric material 240 while the cover element 250 is positioned on the substrate.
- the cover element 250 can be removed to leave a planarized polymeric material 240 in the trench region 220.
- the dispensed amount, size, and/or location of the droplets of polymeric material 240 the upper surfaces of the die 100 can remain clear of polymeric material 240.
- the dispensed volume of the polymeric material 240 can be greater than the volume of the region between die 100 so as long as the resulting step height at the die edge is reduced.
- the cover element 250 can be any material that is substantially planar in the relevant contacting region.
- Cover element 250 can be a hard opaque material, a hard transparent material, a soft opaque material, or a soft transparent material.
- the cover element 250 may be metallic, glass, polymeric, or combinations of these materials.
- the distance d1 is about 10 mm
- the liquid dispenser 230 is an inkjet head type dispenser
- the polymeric material 240 is a polyimide material
- the cover element 250 is pressed into contact with the substrate at about 5 bars
- the carrier substrate 200 is heated to around 150 °C before the cover element 250 is removed.
- the contact pressure may be from about 1 bar to about 15 bars and the temperature may be from about 75 °C to about 175 °C.
- a transparent or at least partially transparent material is used for the cover element 250, and light can pass therethrough to cure and harden the polymeric material 240.
- the light can be ultraviolet light, such as that provided by a mercury arc-lamp or an excimer laser source.
- a step height, the height from one of the die 100 to a top surface of the polymeric material 240, is about 0.1 micron to 1 micron, such as 0.3 micron.
- Fig. 3 depicts a planarization method according to a second example.
- This second example can be used in the formation of a first RDL dielectric layer, more particularly in the formation of a substantially planar first RDL layer.
- several die 100 are disposed on the carrier substrate 300 at the distance d1.
- a liquid dispenser 330 is configured to dispense a polymeric material 340 at various locations inside the trench region 220 that is between adjacent die 100.
- no polymeric material 340 is dispensed directly on an upper surface of any of the die 100 from the liquid dispenser 330.
- some amount of the polymeric material 340 can be dispensed directly on one or more die 100, though in these other examples, the amount of polymeric material 340 dispensed directly onto the upper surface of the die 100 will be a lesser amount than an amount of polymeric material 340 that is dispensed into trench region 220.
- the droplets may be dispensed at the various locations by movement of the liquid dispenser 330 relative to the carrier substrate 300, movement of the carrier substrate 300 relative to liquid dispenser 330, or a combination of movements by the liquid dispenser 330 and the carrier substrate 300.
- the substrate 300 is subjected to a spinning process, such as in a spin coating process at several hundred to a few thousand RPM (revolutions per minute).
- a spinning process such as in a spin coating process at several hundred to a few thousand RPM (revolutions per minute).
- the dispensing of polymeric material 340 preferential to the trench region 220 prior to the spinning process has been found to result in a substantial step height reduction that is not provided by a conventional spin coating process in which a polymeric material might simply form a layer with similar topography to that of the underlying surface.
- Fig. 3 depicts the liquid dispenser 330 applying additional polymeric material 345 (also referred to as an overcoat spray) to the substrate 300 while substrate 300 is spinning.
- additional polymeric material 345 also referred to as an overcoat spray
- the additional application of polymeric material 345 during the spinning process may be optional, or unnecessary, depending on relative volumes of the trench region 220 and the amount of polymeric material 340 dispensed prior to the spinning process.
- a step height the height from one of the die 100 to a top surface of the the polymeric material 340, is about 0.1 micron to 1 micron, such as 0.3 micron.
- No pressing or molding by a cover element 250 is depicted in Fig. 3, but in other examples, this second example process may be combined with the first example process, in whole or in part.
- the polymeric material 345 may be a photopatternable material (e.g., a photoresist) and may retain the ability to be photopatterned in a photolithographic process after the planarization processing has been completed.
- the distance d1 is about 10 mm
- the liquid dispenser 330 is spay type nozzle
- the polymeric material 340 and/or the polymeric material 345 is a polyimide material that has been diluted with a solvent, such as N- methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or the like, so as to reduce viscosity so the resulting solution can be passed through a spray type nozzle and/or to promote the spin coat processing.
- NMP N- methylpyrrolidone
- the liquid dispenser 330 may comprise different nozzles or liquid output ports for the initial dispensing of polymeric material 340 to the trench region 220 and the subsequent dispensing of polymeric material 345 for the spin coating process. In other examples, the liquid dispenser 330 may use the same nozzle(s) or liquid output port(s) for dispensing of polymeric material 340 into the trench region and for the subsequent spin coating process.
- the polymeric material 345 may be planarized by a technique other than spin coating, such as by screen printing, doctor blading, or the like.
- the polymeric material 345 may be baked after planarization processing to a temperature that is less than a temperature at which the polymeric material 345 would substantially lose the ability to be photopatterned.
- Fig. 4 depicts a planarization method according to a third example.
- several die 100 are disposed on a carrier substrate 400 at the distance d1.
- An inkjet nozzle 430 is used to dispense planarization material 440 into the trench region 220.
- the planarization material 440 is a low viscosity, low surface tension, curable material that spreads within the trench region 220 to provide a substantially planar upper surface.
- planarization material 440 and/or the exposed surfaces of the trench region 220 can be modified or selected such that planarization material 440 has a low contact angle with the exposed surfaces of the trench region 220.
- the planarization material 440 thus flows within the trench region 220, as depicted in Fig. 4.
- planarization material 440 After the planarization material 440 flows within the trench region 220, the planarization material can be subjected to a curing/hardening process, such as exposure to heat or ultraviolet light.
- the amount of planarization material 440 dispensed within trench region 220 and the dispensing locations within the trench region 220 can be selected such that the trench region 220 is substantial filled by the planarization material 440. In some examples, it may be sufficient to only partially fill the trench region 220 with planarization material 440 so as to reduce the step height between the edges of the die 100 and the bottom of the trench region (upper surface of the planarization material).
- planarization material 440 is cured/hardened, additional planarization processes may be performed to achieve better or more complete planarization if necessary.
- the process of the third example can be combined with one or both of the process of the first example or the process of the second example.
- a step height, the height from one of the die 100 to a top surface of the planarization material 440, is about 0.1 micron to 1 micron, such as 0.3 micron.
- the planarization material 440 can be any material capable of planarizing flow within the trench region 220 at compatible process conditions (e.g., temperature and pressure conditions) for manufacturing.
- the planarization material 440 can be a UV curable, urethane-based acrylate, a UV curable, polyester-epoxy, or a UV curable, epoxy-based acrylate.
- the planarization material 440 in some examples may preferably have a viscosity of about 13 to about 15 centipoise (cP) at 21 °C.
- the planarization material 440 may also be selected to provide relatively little volume shrinkage upon curing.
- the distance d1 is about 10 mm
- the inkjet nozzle 430 is one of multiple nozzles in an inkjet head type device
- the planarization material 440 is a urethane-based acrylate material that is UV curable with a viscosity of about 14.5 cP at 21 °C.
- Fig. 5 depicts a fourth example of a planarization process.
- the fourth example can be used in the formation of RDL dielectric layers, more particularly in the formation of substantially planar RDL layers.
- a plurality of wires 510 is disposed on a substrate 500.
- the placement and spacing between adjacent wires 510 on the substrate 500 is in general set according to the requirements of circuit design, device packaging parameters, and manufacturability.
- the individual widths of wires 510 are set according to the requirements of circuit design, device packaging parameters, and manufacturability.
- the RDL wiring patterns are not limited to simple line/space patterns, but may include other pattern elements, such as fan-out arrays, serpentine structures, comb-like structures, contact pads, layer-to-layer interconnects, metal pillars, circuit elements, or the like .
- the number of RDL layers in a final device is typically between 2 and 4.
- the spacing d2 between adjacent wires 510 can be about a micron to tens of microns, for example, about 1 micron to about 50 microns.
- the cross-sectional width of each wire 510 may be of similar size.
- the step height between an upper surface of a metal layer and an upper surface of the dielectric layer may be about 5 to about 10 microns or so. Because multiple RDL layers are to be stacked one on the other, non-planarity in a lower RDL can adversely affect an upper level.
- the ability to perform the patterning associated with fabrication of the RDL layers can be adversely affected by non-planar layers because the photolithographic tool used for patterning has a finite depth of focus (DOF).
- DOE finite depth of focus
- a liquid dispenser 530 dispenses a polymeric material 540 onto the substrate 500.
- the polymeric material 540 is dispensed to cover the wires 510 and to fill the spaces 515 between the wires 510.
- the polymeric material 540 does not initially have a planar upper surface, but rather provides a conformal-type coating in which the upper surface of polymeric material 540 corresponds to the underlying topography of the substrate 500, that is the topographic pattern formed by wires 510 and the spaces 515, collectively.
- the as- dispensed polymeric material 540 may optionally be subjected to a spin coating process to distribute the polymeric material on the substrate 500.
- the polymeric material may have a viscosity of about 1000 centipoise (cP) or more at 25 °C.
- a planar element 550 is placed in contact with the polymeric material 540.
- the planar element 550 can be pressed into the polymeric material 540 with sufficient force to cause the polymeric material 540 to conform to planar element 550.
- the planar element 550 might be heated and/or the substrate 500 might be heated to promote molding of the polymeric material 540.
- the pressing and/or heating may be conducted under low pressure or vacuum conditions to limit void formation and/or promote removal of voids in the polymeric material 540 that might be caused by trapping or entrainment of gases within the polymeric material 540. After the pressing with planar element 550, it is removed to leave a planarized upper surface of the polymeric material 540.
- UV exposure would not be used for curing/hardening of the polymeric material 540 in this example because the planarized polymeric material 540 is to be used as a photopatternable dielectric material for the formation of subsequent RDL layers.
- the planarized polymeric material 540 will be subjected to a photolithographic process using UV light to selectively harden portions of the polymeric material 540 according to a photomask pattern corresponding to the desired wiring pattern of the subsequent RDL layer.
- the unexposed/hardened portions of the polymeric material 540 would then be removed by wet development in a solvent or the like.
- the heating during the pressing of planar element 550 must be limited with respect to applied temperature and time to prevent the entirety of the polymeric material 540 from curing/hardening before UV patterning can be conducted.
- the polymeric material 540 is a photosensitive polyimide material. Heating during the planarization process is to a maximum temperature of about 120 °C to about 160 °C, pressing time is about 3 to about 12 minutes, and applied pressure is between about 5 bars to about 10 bars.
- the planar element 550 can be a flexible silicone polymeric material, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a hard polymeric material, such as fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) or ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), a glass plate, a metal plate, or combinations thereof.
- PDMS polydimethylsiloxane
- FEP fluorinated ethylene propylene
- ETFE ethylene tetrafluoroethylene
- the liquid dispenser 530 can be a spray type nozzle, an inkjet type nozzle, a plurality of such elements, or a combination of such elements.
- Fig. 6 depicts a planarization process according to an example use in the fabrication of a multi-layer RDL structure. Metal features 610 are formed on the chip substrate 600. A photopatternable dielectric material 630 is applied on the substrate 600. A planar mold 650 is pressed into the photopatternable dielectric material 630 while the substrate 600 is under vacuum. The vacuum or low pressure conditions promote void elimination from the photopatternable dielectric material 630, as depicted.
- a portion of photopatternable dielectric material 630 is removed in a photolithographic process.
- the planarization process with mechanical planarization enables high-aspect ratio metal pillar patterning.
- the non-planar surface of the photopatternable dielectric material 630 above the metal features 610 such as in the device state depicted in Fig. 6 prior to mechanical pressing, complicates the photolithographic processing, due to, for example, depth of focus limits of the photolithographic tool.
- Fig. 7 depicts a planarization process according to an example for the formation of via-on-via stacked structures in a multi-layer RDL structure.
- the planarization process previously described in conjunction with Fig. 6 is repeated to form additional RDL layers. Due to the improved planarity of the photopatternable dielectric material 630, the photolithographic process for the higher RDL layers can be performed with greater layer-to-layer alignment accuracy, permitting the formation of stacked via structures 710.
