Description
- This application is a Divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/974,936 filed Oct. 28, 2004. Priority is claimed based on U.S. application Ser. No. 10/974,936 filed Oct. 28, 2004, which claims the priority date of Taiwan Patent Application Serial Number 092129954, filed Oct. 28, 2003, the full disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention generally relates to a ball grid array package, and more particularly to a ball grid array package having a plurality of partitioning walls for keeping solder balls in proper position.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Miniaturization of semiconductor device size has been an important topic in the art, when the device requires more I/O pins along with the increase of device density. Relatively, the ball grid array (BGA) package is an efficient packaging technology since it can provide more I/O pins.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , it shows a conventional ball grid array (BGA)package 10 using wire bonding technique and being disposed on amain board 30. The BGApackage 10 includes asubstrate 20, achip 11, and a plurality ofsolder balls 40. Thesubstrate 20 has anupper surface 22, alower surface 24 opposite to theupper surface 22, and a plurality of metal wirings (not shown). Thechip 11 is disposed on theupper surface 22 of thesubstrate 20 and electrically connected to the metal wirings of thesubstrate 20 by a plurality ofbonding wires 12. Thesolder balls 40 are disposed on thelower surface 24 of thesubstrate 20 and electrically connected to thechip 11 through the metal wrings and thebonding wires 12. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , in manufacturing processes of the BGApackage 10, asolder mask 26 is provided on thelower surface 24 of thesubstrate 20 and a plurality ofpads 50 are exposed therefrom. A plurality offlux units 60 are applied to thepads 50. Then, thesolder balls 40 are disposed on theflux units 60 and adhered to the pads 50 (as shown inFIG. 3 ) by a reflow process. - After the
solder balls 40 pass through the reflow process, a solder bridge formed between twopads 50 as shown inFIG. 3 might be occurred due to the spread of theflux units 60. Further, in manufacturing and/or transporting processes, thesolder balls 40 may also be shifted due to the occurrence of a shake, a vibration and so on such that the implantation yield of thesolder balls 40 is reduced. - For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,636,104 discloses a BGA package using wire bonding technique, which is incorporated herein by reference. The substrate of such a BGA package comprises a plurality of groove mounting pads for carrying a plurality of solder balls, thereby improving the strength and the positioning capability of the solder balls on the substrate. However, the plurality of groove mounting pads will increase the manufacturing processes and cost.
- Accordingly, there exists a need to provide a BGA package which can improve the positioning capability and increase the implantation yield of the solder balls.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a ball grid array (BGA) package, which can avoid the shift problem of the solder balls and thus improve the positioning accuracy of the solder balls on the substrate.
- In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a BGA package including a substrate, a chip, a plurality of pads, a solder mask, a plurality of partitioning walls, and a plurality of solder balls. The substrate has an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface. The chip is disposed on the upper surface of the substrate. The pads are disposed on the lower surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the chip. The solder mask is disposed on the lower surface of the substrate. The partitioning walls are disposed on the solder mask and each between the adjacent pads. The solder balls are respectively disposed on the pads.
- According to the BGA package of the present invention, the plurality of partitioning walls can prevent the flux from spreading and therefore avoid the solder bridge being formed between two solder balls. Furthermore, the plurality of partitioning walls can also prevent the solder balls from being shifted and therefore increase the implantation yield of the solder balls.
- Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional BGA package using wire bonding technique and being disposed on a main substrate. -
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the area A shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 illustrates that the solder balls ofFIG. 2 are adhered to the pads through a reflow process. -
FIG. 4 is a bottom view of a BGA package according to one embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the BGA package taken along line 5-5 ofFIG. 4 . -
FIGS. 4 and 5 show a ball grid array (BGA)package 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The BGApackage 100 includes asubstrate 120 and achip 111. Thesubstrate 120 has anupper surface 122, alower surface 124 opposite to the upper surface, and a plurality of wirings (not shown). Thechip 111 is disposed on theupper surface 122 of thesubstrate 120 and electrically connected to the wirings of the substrate through bonding wires, that is, thechip 111 is electrically connected to the substrate by wire bonding technique. A package body is formed over thechip 111 and a portion of theupper surface 122 of thesubstrate 120. It should be understood by a skilled person in art that thechip 111 can be replaced by a flip chip. - A plurality of
pads 150 are disposed on thelower surface 124 of thesubstrate 120 and electrically connected to thechip 111 through the wirings. A plurality ofsolder balls 140 are respectively disposed on the plurality ofpads 150. Asolder mask 126 is applied over thelower surface 124 of thesubstrate 120 while the plurality ofpads 150 are exposed therefrom. Thesubstrate 120 further has a plurality of partitioningwalls 128, which are disposed on and extend from thesolder mask 126, for partitioning the plurality ofpads 150 and accurately positioning thesolder balls 140 in place. - The plurality of partitioning
walls 128 can be made in many different patterns. For example, the plurality of partitioningwalls 128 can be made in a continuous pattern, e.g. a lattice pattern as shown inFIG. 4 . Alternatively, the plurality of partitioningwalls 128 can be made in a plurality of discontinuous or independent patterns, such as a plurality of ring-shaped, C-shaped or line-shaped patterns (not shown), for respectively partitioning theadjacent pads 150. - It should be understood by a skilled person in art that a plurality of preflux or
flux units 160, such as solder paste, can be respectively disposed on the plurality ofpads 150 for facilitating the adherence of thesolder balls 140 to thesubstrate 120. - The height of the
partitioning wall 128 of theBGA package 100 is determined by the heights of thepad 150, theflux unit 160 and thesolder ball 140. The width of the partitioningwall 128 is determined by the dispositions of thepad 150, theflux unit 160 and thesolder ball 140. In one specific embodiment of the present invention, eachpartitioning wall 128 is substantially about 0.025 mm to 0.08 mm in height and encloses eachpad 150 so as to form a lattice arrangement. - The material of the partitioning
wall 128 is generally the same with that of thesolder mask 126, such as epoxy resin, such that thepartitioning wall 128 is similar to thesubstrate 120 in chemical and physical characteristics thereby avoiding incompatibility between both of them. - In the manufacturing process of the
BGA package 100, asubstrate 120 having anupper surface 122 and alower surface 124 is first provided. Then, achip 111 is disposed on theupper surface 122 of thesubstrate 120 and electrically connected to thesubstrate 120 by wire bonding technique. Then, a package body is molded for encapsulating thechip 111 and a portion of theupper surface 122 of thesubstrate 120. It should be understood by a skilled person in art that thechip 111 can also be electrically connected to thesubstrate 120 by flip chip technique. Asolder mask 126 is applied to thelower surface 124 of thesubstrate 120 and a plurality ofpads 150 are defined. Then, a plurality of partitioningwalls 128 are formed on thesolder mask 126 by printed process or photolithography and etching processes and used for respectively partitioning the plurality ofpads 150. A plurality offlux units 160 can be further applied to the plurality ofpads 150. Next, a plurality ofsolder balls 140 are respectively disposed on theflux units 160 and finally soldered to thepads 150 through a reflow process so as to form theBGA package 100. - Accordingly, the
BGA package 100 according to the present invention has the plurality of partitioningwalls 128 for preventing theflux units 160 from spreading and therefore further preventing the solder bridge formed between thepads 150. In addition, the plurality of partitioningwalls 128 can also prevent the plurality ofsolder balls 140 from being shifted and therefore increase the implantation yield of thesolder balls 140. - Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is not used to limit the invention. It is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
