Definitions

  • the present invention relates to semiconductor packages and fabrication methods thereof, and more particularly, to a carrier-free semiconductor package and a fabrication method thereof.
  • a QFN (Quad Flat Non-leaded) semiconductor package is a lead frame based chip scale package, which is characterized by the fact that the leads thereof do not extend out from the package sides as in a conventional quad flat package (QFP), thereby reducing the overall package size.
  • QFP quad flat package
  • the QFN package thickness cannot be further reduced to meet the demands for lighter, thinner, shorter and smaller semiconductor product trends. Therefore, carrier-free semiconductor packages have been developed to reduce the thickness of the overall package size by dispensing with a lead frame.
  • FIGS. 1A to 1D are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating a fabrication method of a semiconductor package 1 according to the prior art.
  • the surface of a metal carrier 10 is partially removed by etching to form a plurality of wire bonding pads 101 and at least a die attach pad 102 .
  • solder mask layer 11 such as green paint is formed on the metal carrier 10 , and the wire bonding pads 101 and the die attach pad 102 covered by an anti-oxidation layer 15 are exposed from the solder mask layer 11 .
  • a semiconductor chip 17 is disposed on the die attach pad 102 through an adhesive 171 and electrically connected to the wire bonding pads 101 through a plurality of bonding wires 170 such as gold wires. Then, an encapsulant 18 is formed on the solder mask layer 11 to encapsulate the semiconductor chip 17 and the bonding wires 170 .
  • the metal carrier 10 is removed by etching to expose lower surfaces of the wire bonding pads 101 and the die attach pad 102 .
  • the wire bonding pads 101 located outside around the periphery of the semiconductor chip 17 are distant from the electrode pads 17 a of the semiconductor chip 17 , therefore longer bonding wires 170 are required, thereby increasing material cost and adversely affecting the miniaturization of the semiconductor package 1 .
  • FIGS. 2A to 2E Another fabrication method of a semiconductor package 2 has been developed, as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2E .
  • a conductive trace layer 24 is formed on a copper carrier 20 by electroplating.
  • the conductive trace layer 24 has a plurality of bonding pads 241 , a plurality of connection pads 242 , and at least a die attach pad 243 .
  • the conductive trace layer 24 is made of Pd/Ni/Pd/Au.
  • At least a semiconductor chip 27 is disposed on the die attach pad 243 through an adhesive 271 such as silver epoxy, and electrically connected to the bonding pads 241 through a plurality of bonding wires 270 .
  • an encapsulant 28 is formed on the copper carrier 20 to encapsulate the semiconductor chip 27 and the conductive trace layer 24 .
  • the copper carrier 20 is almost removed by etching.
  • an ultra-thin copper layer 25 is formed on the bonding pads 241 , the connection pads 242 , and the die attach pad 243 .
  • a solder mask layer 21 such as green paint is formed on the encapsulant 28 and a plurality of openings 210 are formed in the solder mask layer 21 for exposing portions of the ultra-thin copper layer 25 on the connection pads 242 and the die attach pad 243 .
  • an electroplating process is performed to form a plurality of solder balls 29 on the ultra-thin copper layer 25 at the openings 210 of the solder mask layer 21 .
  • the conductive trace layer 24 is formed first and then the solder mask layer 21 is formed to cover a portion of the conductive trace layer 24 .
  • the solder mask layer 21 has a poor bonding with the gold material of the conductive trace layer 24 (the ultra-thin copper layer 25 has negligible effect on the bonding between the solder mask layer 21 and the conductive trace layer 24 ). Therefore, after the solder balls 29 are formed, delamination can easily occur around the peripheries of the openings of the solder mask layer 21 , thus easily causing solder ball drop failure and consequently reducing package reliability.
  • the gold material used in the conductive trace layer 24 results in a high fabrication cost.
  • the present invention provides a semiconductor package, which comprises: a dielectric layer used for fabricating built-up layer structures having opposite first and second surfaces, and a plurality of openings penetrating the first and second surfaces; a conductive trace layer formed on the first surface of the dielectric layer, wherein the conductive trace layer has a plurality of traces, each of the traces electrically connects a bonding pad and a connection pad, and the connection pads are exposed through the openings of the dielectric layer; at least a semiconductor chip attached to the first surface of the dielectric layer having a plurality of electrode pads; and a plurality of bonding wires electrically connecting the electrode pads of the semiconductor chip to the bonding pads.
  • the conductive trace layer can further have a die attach pad on which the semiconductor chip is mounted, and the semiconductor chip is electrically connected to the die attach pad.

Since a strong bonding is formed between the dielectric layer and the conductive trace layer, the present invention can prevent delamination between the dielectric layer and the conductive trace layer from occurrence, thereby improving reliability and facilitating the package miniaturization by current fabrication methods.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to semiconductor packages and fabrication methods thereof, and more particularly, to a carrier-free semiconductor package and a fabrication method thereof.
  • 2. Description of Related Art
  • Conventionally, there are various kinds of semiconductor packages that utilize lead frames as chip carriers. For example, a QFN (Quad Flat Non-leaded) semiconductor package is a lead frame based chip scale package, which is characterized by the fact that the leads thereof do not extend out from the package sides as in a conventional quad flat package (QFP), thereby reducing the overall package size. However, limited by the encapsulant thickness of the QFN package, the QFN package thickness cannot be further reduced to meet the demands for lighter, thinner, shorter and smaller semiconductor product trends. Therefore, carrier-free semiconductor packages have been developed to reduce the thickness of the overall package size by dispensing with a lead frame.
  • FIGS. 1A to 1D are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating a fabrication method of a semiconductor package 1 according to the prior art.
  • Referring to FIG. 1A, the surface of a metal carrier 10 is partially removed by etching to form a plurality of wire bonding pads 101 and at least a die attach pad 102.
  • Referring to FIG. 1B, a solder mask layer 11 such as green paint is formed on the metal carrier 10, and the wire bonding pads 101 and the die attach pad 102 covered by an anti-oxidation layer 15 are exposed from the solder mask layer 11.
  • Referring to FIG. 1C, a semiconductor chip 17 is disposed on the die attach pad 102 through an adhesive 171 and electrically connected to the wire bonding pads 101 through a plurality of bonding wires 170 such as gold wires. Then, an encapsulant 18 is formed on the solder mask layer 11 to encapsulate the semiconductor chip 17 and the bonding wires 170.
  • Referring to FIG. 1D, the metal carrier 10 is removed by etching to expose lower surfaces of the wire bonding pads 101 and the die attach pad 102.
  • However, referring to FIG. 1D′, since the bonding wires 170 often cross over each other, they may easily come into contact with each other, thereby resulting in a short circuit.
  • Further, there are special limitations on loop height and length of the bonding wires 170 and hence the layout of the wire bonding pads 101 is limited by the wire bonding range of the bonding wires 170.
  • Furthermore, referring to FIG. 1D′, the wire bonding pads 101 located outside around the periphery of the semiconductor chip 17 are distant from the electrode pads 17 a of the semiconductor chip 17, therefore longer bonding wires 170 are required, thereby increasing material cost and adversely affecting the miniaturization of the semiconductor package 1.
  • Accordingly, another fabrication method of a semiconductor package 2 has been developed, as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2E.
  • Referring to FIG. 2A, a conductive trace layer 24 is formed on a copper carrier 20 by electroplating. The conductive trace layer 24 has a plurality of bonding pads 241, a plurality of connection pads 242, and at least a die attach pad 243. The conductive trace layer 24 is made of Pd/Ni/Pd/Au.
  • Referring to FIG. 2B, at least a semiconductor chip 27 is disposed on the die attach pad 243 through an adhesive 271 such as silver epoxy, and electrically connected to the bonding pads 241 through a plurality of bonding wires 270.
  • Then, an encapsulant 28 is formed on the copper carrier 20 to encapsulate the semiconductor chip 27 and the conductive trace layer 24.
  • Referring to FIG. 2C, by using the gold material at the bottom of the conductive trace layer 24 as an etching stop layer, the copper carrier 20 is almost removed by etching.
  • Referring to FIG. 2D, an ultra-thin copper layer 25 is formed on the bonding pads 241, the connection pads 242, and the die attach pad 243. Then, a solder mask layer 21 such as green paint is formed on the encapsulant 28 and a plurality of openings 210 are formed in the solder mask layer 21 for exposing portions of the ultra-thin copper layer 25 on the connection pads 242 and the die attach pad 243.
  • Referring to FIG. 2E, by using the ultra-thin copper layer as a current conductive path, an electroplating process is performed to form a plurality of solder balls 29 on the ultra-thin copper layer 25 at the openings 210 of the solder mask layer 21.
  • In the above-described method, the conductive trace layer 24 is formed first and then the solder mask layer 21 is formed to cover a portion of the conductive trace layer 24. The solder mask layer 21 has a poor bonding with the gold material of the conductive trace layer 24 (the ultra-thin copper layer 25 has negligible effect on the bonding between the solder mask layer 21 and the conductive trace layer 24). Therefore, after the solder balls 29 are formed, delamination can easily occur around the peripheries of the openings of the solder mask layer 21, thus easily causing solder ball drop failure and consequently reducing package reliability.
  • Further, the gold material used in the conductive trace layer 24 results in a high fabrication cost.
  • Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a semiconductor package and a fabrication method thereof to overcome the above-described disadvantages.

  • In another embodiment, the bonding pads 341 can be formed between the connection pads 342, 342′.
  • In another embodiment, the die attach pad 343 can be omitted and the semiconductor chip 37 can be directly disposed on the first surface 31 a of the dielectric layer 31.

  • Through the configuration of the traces 340, the layout of the bonding pads 341 becomes more flexible and that of the connection pads 342, 342′ is, therefore, not limited by the wire bonding range of the bonding wires 370.
  • Further, the present invention shortens the distance between the bonding pads 341 and the electrode pads 37 a (including I/O contact pads) of the semiconductor chip 37, thereby shortening the length of the bonding wires 370 and consequently reducing the cost and facilitating the miniaturization of the semiconductor package 3.

  • In another embodiment, the outermost connection pads 342′ are exposed from the openings 310.

  • In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 3F′, the support structure 36 can be omitted. That is, the carrier 30 is completely removed in the process of FIG. 3E.
  • According to the present invention, a soft dielectric layer 31 made of a material used for fabricating built-up layer structures is formed, and a conductive trace layer 34 made of copper or aluminum is formed on the dielectric layer 31.
