具体实施方式
为便于理解,首先对一些概念和背景进行简单介绍。
印制电路板(Printed Circuit Board,PCB),是重要的电子部件,是电子元器件的支撑体,是电子元器件电气连接的载体。由于它是采用电子印刷术制作的,故被称为“印刷”电路板。通过板级表面组装技术(surface mount technology,SMT)实现芯片的I/O端与PCB的电气连接。
晶圆(wafer),指硅半导体集成电路制作所用的硅晶圆,由于其形状为圆形,故称为晶圆。在硅晶圆上可加工制作成各种电路元件结构,而成为有特定电性功能的IC产品
晶片(die),指晶圆切割下来的一个小块,为一个芯片。在晶圆未封装前,晶圆上的芯片或晶圆切割得到的芯片称为裸芯片。
无源元件,也称被动元件(passive components),指在电路中不需要加电源即可在有信号时工作的元件,主要是电阻类、电感类和电容类的元件。
集成无源元件(Integrated Passive Devices,IPD)将分立的无源元件集成在衬底的内部,提高器件系统集成度,以减小整个产品的尺寸和重量。
半包裹,本申请中指塑封材料包裹芯片的部分表面,裸露芯片中非导体柱的部件,该导体柱为芯片上用于耦合外电路的连接端,也就是说芯片的至少一个表面未被塑封材料覆盖。通常芯片包括上表面、下表面以及四个侧面,例如,现有技术中,塑封材料通常包裹芯片中硅衬底上表面的部件(如,芯片的内部电路、重布线层等),而硅衬底的下表面通常无塑封材料保护。
全包裹,本申请中指包裹芯片的各个表面,但芯片上用于耦合外电路的导体柱背对芯片的端面除外。在本申请实施例中,塑封材料全包裹芯片即为塑封材料包裹芯片上除导体柱背对芯片的端面之外的各个部分。
通常WLCSP封装芯片包括硅层(裸芯片)、重布线层以及用于芯片电连接外电路的焊球。该WLCSP的封装方式可能带来如下问题:
(1)在芯片切割过程中可能会出现硅层部分开裂、崩边的质量问题。
(2)芯片封装后芯片的背面是裸露的硅层,由于硅材料的脆性,不能承受后续电测试施加的压力,使得WLCSP封装芯片不能做测试而直接在板级使用,导致使用了该WLCSP封装芯片的产品次品率上升。

可见,该芯片封装结构通过塑封材料12全包裹芯片11,在对芯片11各个面保护的同时还可以平衡各个方向上芯片11与塑封材料12之间的应力,进而避免芯片11在某一方向上应力过大导致的芯片11的开裂、崩边等问题,提高封装芯片结构的长期可靠性。

对于设置了无源器件的裸芯片511上时,由于无源器件本身存在较大的厚度,第一绝缘层52需要完全覆盖无源器件,使得第一绝缘层52的厚度必须大于任意一个无源器件的厚度。此时,可以将第一材料(如PI)形成的干薄(dry film)平铺在晶圆上,通过加热,使得干膜熔融并在晶圆上流动以使形成的聚合物薄膜趋于平坦化以及挥发干膜内溶剂,固化形成第一绝缘层。该第一绝缘层的制备方式可以克服旋涂法不能制备较厚的第一绝缘层的缺点,是实现对包括IPD和被动元件的芯片封装中的重要一道工序。
可选地,当晶圆1上包括无源器件时,第一绝缘层52的厚度大于该任意一个无源器件的厚度,可选地,第一绝缘层52的厚度可以是20um-120um。
可以理解,第一绝缘层52还包括其他制备方式,本申请实施例不作限定。

若第一绝缘层52为无机绝缘材料时,可以通过光刻工艺在第一绝缘层52上形成第一过孔520。例如,在第一绝缘层52上涂布光刻胶,通过光罩部分曝光光刻胶,再通过显影液部分去除光刻胶,形成图案化的光刻胶,进而以图案化的光刻胶为掩膜刻蚀第一绝缘层52,在第一绝缘层52上光罩遮挡的位置形成贯穿第一绝缘层52的第一过孔520。
若第一绝缘层52为光刻胶时,可以通过光罩和显影工艺在第一绝缘层52上形成第一过孔520。例如,第一绝缘层52为负光刻胶,通过光罩遮挡第一绝缘层52上与裸芯片的输入端和/或输出端对应的位置,曝光第一绝缘层52上其他位置,进而通过显影液去除未被曝光的光刻胶,形在第一绝缘层52上光罩遮挡的位置形成贯穿第一绝缘层52的第一过孔520。

若第二绝缘层54为光刻胶时,可以通过光罩和显影工艺在第二绝缘层54上形成第二过孔540。具体的,若第二绝缘层54为负光刻胶,通过光罩遮挡第二绝缘层54上与部分重布线层53对应的位置,曝光第二绝缘层54上其他位置,进而通过显影液去除未被曝光的光刻胶,形在第二绝缘层54上光罩遮挡的位置形成贯穿第二绝缘层54的第二过孔540。
可以理解,第二过孔540还可以包括其他的形成方式,例如激光钻孔的方式等,本申请实施例不作限定。
步骤S17:形成填充第二过孔540的导体柱55,该导体柱55的第一端电连接至裸芯片511的内部电路,该导体柱55的第二端的端面高于第二绝缘层54上背对裸芯片511的表面。请一并参阅图5G。

导体柱还可以是其他制备方法,比如电镀法、印刷,焊接或其组合,本申请实施例不作限定。
步骤S18:切割晶圆,得到与多个裸芯片一一对应的芯片。切割可以采用机械切割、激光切割或其结合等方式。请一并参阅图5H和图5I。
步骤S2:将导体柱55的第二端粘结在承载基板56上,以在承载基板56上固定芯片,相邻的芯片之间具有间隙。请一并参阅图5J。
具体的,提供一承载基板56,在该承载基板56上涂布胶层57,将一芯片倒置,将导体柱55的端面通过胶层57粘结在承载基板56上。同理,将得到的多个芯片阵列排布,间隔粘结在承载基板56。请一并参阅图5K所示的一种芯片阵列结构的截面图。
其中,承载基板56用于承载塑封材料,以形成塑封材料。胶层57粘结导体柱55与承载基板56,以固定芯片。
步骤S3:形成全包裹芯片的塑封材料58。应理解,导体柱55与承载基板56之间存在空隙,塑封材料58可以填充导体柱55和承载基板56之间的空隙,导体柱贯穿塑封材料58,进而全包裹芯片。请一并参阅图5L。

具体的,将低粘度的塑封材料滴灌在承载基板56和芯片的第二表面,塑封材料填充芯片的第一表面与承载基板56之间的空隙,并包裹芯片,当塑封材料的厚度达到预设厚度之后,对塑封材料进行加热固化,形成塑封材料58。
应理解,芯片表面上塑封材料58的厚度越后,塑封材料58控制芯片的翘曲变形的力度越大。芯片的尺寸越大,其翘曲变形的程度越大。因而,可以通过控制芯片第一表面和第二表面上塑封材料58的厚度来控制对芯片封装结构中芯片的翘曲变形的控制力度;通过加厚芯片第一表面和第二表面上塑封材料58,实现对大尺寸芯片(例如8mm*8mm芯片)的封装。
由于导体柱通常采用镀膜的方法制备,其高度可以精确控制。通过控制对导体柱高度,可以精确控制芯片的第一表面上塑封材料的厚度,以得到特定厚度的塑封材料封装的芯片。
步骤S4:基于芯片之前的间隙切割塑封材料58并去除承载基板56,以得到多个芯片封装结构。请一并参阅图5M-5O所示的芯片封装结构。
可选地,步骤S3、S4或除承载基板56之后,该方法还包括:步骤S31,在导体柱55的第二端上形成焊球59,即植球,以便芯片通过焊球59电连接外电路。通过该方法得到的焊球59位于塑封材料58外,不会限制焊球59在高温焊接时焊料合金的自由熔融和凝固过程,提高芯片与外电路的焊接的牢固性。
可选地,S4之后,还可以在在导体柱111上进行有机保焊膜(Organic Solderability Preservatives,OSP)、化学镍金(Electroless Nickel/Immersion Gold,ENIG)、化学镀锡等表面处理工艺。
可以先去除承载基板56再切割,也可以先切割在去除承载基板56,本申请实施例以先去除承载基板56、植球再切割为例来说明。
当去除胶层57和承载基板56后,得到如图5M所示的芯片封装结构;当导体柱55的端面形成焊球59后,得到如图5N所示的芯片封装结构;当基于芯片之间的间隙切割塑封材料58后得到如图5O所示的芯片封装结构。
可见,本申请实施例提供的芯片封装方法,通过提供多个芯片,该芯片第一表面上设有导体柱,导体柱的第一端被耦合至芯片的内部电路,导体柱的第二端用于芯片耦合外电路,导体柱的第二端的端面高于第一表面,将芯片通过导体柱的第二端粘结在承载基板上,导体柱与承载基板之间存在空隙,塑封材料可以填充导体柱和承载基板之间的空隙,进而全包裹芯片,全包裹芯片的塑封材料在对芯片各个表面保护的同时还可以平衡各个方向上芯片与塑封材料之间的应力,进而避免芯片在某一方向上应力过大导致的芯片的开裂、崩边等问题,提高封装芯片结构的长期可靠性。
而且,全包裹芯片的塑封材料一次成型,可避免出现现有技术中多次形成的塑封材料之间的分界面,进而防止外界水蒸气通过分界面进入到芯片引起芯片的失效,提高该塑封材料形成塑封结构的密封性,以及提高芯片的长期可靠性。
进一步地,由于塑封材料固化后形成的塑封材料具有较强的机械强度,可以承受测试 的压力。
进一步地,现有技术中芯片封装结构大量采用过程胶,得到的芯片封装结构中部分过程胶永久性存在。由于半导体材料、塑封材料、胶材料热膨胀系数的不同,芯片在温度变化的环境中,胶材料会引起芯片产生应力,进而引起芯片的变形,该芯片封装方法得到的芯片封装结构内部不包含过程胶,可避免过程胶对芯片的影响,进一步提高封装芯片结构的长期可靠性。
