Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a circuit device having a structure, in which a semiconductor chip and an interposer substrate are integrally coupled by a flip chip connection, and a fabrication process of the circuit device.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Currently, circuit devices, such as IC (Integrated Circuit) and so forth, have been fabricated as independent chip parts, and are used in various electronic equipments. Such circuit device has a structure, in which a large number of lead terminals are arranged on a circumference of a semiconductor chip of a semiconductor circuit having large number of connection pads, the lead terminals are individually connected with the connection pads of the semiconductor chip by bonding wire, and inside portions of the semiconductor chip and the lead terminals are sealingly embedded in resin member.
- In the circuit device of the construction set forth above, since a large number of lead terminals are projected outside of an outer periphery portion of the resin member, data communication can be established between the printed circuit on a printed circuit board (PCB) and a semiconductor circuit of the circuit device by mounting the circuit device on an upper surface of the PCB and connecting the lead terminals with the printed circuit.
- However, in the recent years, downsizing and increasing of integration degree of the circuit device is in progress to cause increasing of number and density of the lead terminals. This causes difficulty in accurately connecting the lead terminals of the circuit device to the printed circuit on the PCB at user level. Furthermore, fine lead terminals lack strength to easily cause breakage of the lead terminals in handling at user level to spoil the circuit device.
- In order to solve the foregoing problem, a semiconductor package as the circuit device of BGA (Ball Grid Array) structure has been developed. In the semiconductor package of the BGA structure, connection terminals are formed as spherical solder bump, which are, arranged entire area of a lower surface of the device as two-dimensional array. Therefore, arrangement density of the lead terminals can be lowered and breakage of the lead terminals is hardly caused.
- One example of the conventional circuit device of BGA structure will be discussed hereinafter with reference to FIG. 15. It should be noted that FIG. 15 is a diagrammatically illustrated section showing an internal structure of the semiconductor package as the circuit device. On the other hand, for simplification of disclosure, up and down direction on the drawing is expressed as up and down direction of the device, simply.
- As shown in FIG. 15, the semiconductor package1 exemplifying the circuit device has a
semiconductor chip 2 consisted of a semiconductor circuit integrated at high density. Thesemiconductor chip 2 is mounted on the upper surface of theinterposer substrate 3. Thesemiconductor chip 2 is formed with a large number of connection pads (not shown) on the lower surface. On the other hand, theinterposer substrate 3 is formed with a large number of connection pads (not shown) on both of the upper surface and the lower surface. - In greater detail, the
interposer substrate 3 is formed with a large number of connection pads at the center portion of the upper surface at positions corresponding to the connection pads of thesemiconductor chip 2 at high density, and large number of connection pads is formed over substantially entire area at low density. Then, theinterposer substrate 3 is formed into a multi-layer structure and large number of printed circuits and through holes is formed in the upper surface, the lower surface and inside. A large number of connection pads on the upper surface and the lower surface are appropriately connected through the printed circuits and the through holes. - On each of these connection pads, a
solder bump 4 is mounted. The connection pad on the lower surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 and the connection pad on the upper surface of theinterposer substrate 3 are mechanically connected by asolder bump 4 for electrical connection. It should be noted that within intervals between thesolder bumps 4, an under-fill resin 5 of epoxy resin is filled. By the under-fill resin 5, mechanical connection between the lower surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 and the upper surface of theinterposer substrate 3 is reinforced. - Furthermore, in the semiconductor package1 exemplified herein, sidewall form
metallic stiffener 6 is engaged on the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface of theinterposer substrate 3. On the upper surfaces of thestiffener 6 and thesemiconductor chip 2, a top plate formmetallic heat spreader 7 is bonded by ametal paste 8. - In the semiconductor package1 of the construction set forth above, the semiconductor circuit is integrated on the
semiconductor chip 2 at high density, and the connection pads are arranged on thesemiconductor chip 2 at high density. On large number of connection pads on the upper surface of theinterposer substrate 3 of the same arrangement,solder bumps 4 are connected individually. A large number of connection pads on the upper surface of theinterposer substrate 3 are appropriately connected to a large number of connection pads arranged on the lower surface thereof at low density. - The conventional fabrication process of the semiconductor package1 of the structure set forth above will be discussed briefly. At first, as various parts forming the semiconductor package 1, the
semiconductor chip 2, theinterposer 3, thestiffener 6, theheat spreader 7 and so forth are fabricated with respectively predetermined structures. - Next, the
stiffener 6 is bonded on the outer periphery portion on the upper surface of theinterposer substrate 3, and thesemiconductor chip 2 is bonded on the center portion by thesolder bump 4 by bonding connection. Then, theentire interposer substrate 2 with thestiffener 6 and thesemiconductor chip 2 is washed by flux washing and dried. Then, O2 plasma process is performed. Within gaps between theinterposer substrate 3 and thesemiconductor chip 2, epoxy resin to be under-fillresin 5 is filled and cured to form the under-fill resin 5. - Then, the
head spreader 7 is bonded on the upper surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 by themetal paste 8 and also bonded on thestiffener 6 by anbonding agent 9, such as epoxy resin or the like. Finally, for each of large number of connection pads on the lower surface of theinterposer substrate 3, thesolder bumps 4 are loaded to complete the semiconductor package 1. - Upon fabrication of the semiconductor package1 set forth above, the under-
fill resin 5 is filled in order to improve mechanical connection strength of thesemiconductor chip 2 and theinterposer substrate 3. As a method of implantation of the under-fill resin 5, a liquid state resin is supplied from peripheral edge of the semiconductor chip by means of a dispensing nozzle mounting a syringes stocking the liquid state resin for making the high viscosity epoxy resin to penetrate into fine gaps between thesemiconductor chip 2 and the interposer substrate by capillary phenomenon. However, long period is required for operation to make the liquid state resin to penetrate and a long required for curing the liquid state resin becomes longer than that of transfer molding using a tablet resin to degrade production efficiency. Furthermore, by penetration depending upon capillary phenomenon, internal void as a space not filled with the resin can be caused to make it difficult to enhance reliability of the package. - On the other hand, in the foregoing semiconductor package1 is separately fabricated the
interposer substrate 3 and thestiffener 6 and is then bonded. On thestiffener 6, theheat spreader 7 is bonded by epoxy resin. Therefore, number of process steps in fabrication and number of component parts are large to lower productivity. Also, since a plateform heat spreader 7 is bonded on the upper surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 and thestiffener 6, it becomes necessary to adjust respect upper surfaces of thesemiconductor chip 2 and thestiffener 6 in flush. This also servers for degrading productivity of the semiconductor package 1. - On the other hand, as a method for filling the under-fill resin, there has been disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Heisei 10-270477, a method, in which a through hole for filling resin is formed at a predetermined position of the circuit board and a resin is filled by applying a pressure on the resin with inserting the nozzle for supplying resin into the through hole. However, in order to bond the heat spreader on the upper surface of the semiconductor chip and the stiffener, large number of fabrication processes and component parts are required for lowering productivity.
- Also, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-349203there has been disclosed a fabrication process of a semiconductor device, in which the flip chip mounted semiconductor chip and the interposer are contacted with a cavity of a mold and a molten epoxy resin is filled from the side portion of the semiconductor chip under pressure. However, problems are encountered in that long period is required for filling the resin from the side portion of the semiconductor chip and in that sneaking of resin is caused since gap between the semiconductor chip and the interposer is narrow to cause internal void. Furthermore, due to breakage of the corner portion of the semiconductor chip by contact between the mold and the semiconductor chip or sneaking of resin to the back surface of the semiconductor chip by filling of the resin under pressure, degradation of external appearance can be caused.
- The present invention has been worked out in view of the problems and drawbacks in the prior art as set forth above. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a resin sealing method and a resin sealing device of a semiconductor device which can perform resin sealing of an under-fill region and peripheral portion on the side of a semiconductor chip in the same process step, with shortening periods required for filling and curing the under-fill resin and avoiding formation of an internal void, and can simplify fabrication process and component parts.

- In the preferred construction, the stepped down portion of the molded resin portion may have a tilted surface descending from an upper end surface of the semiconductor chip.
- By providing the titled surface in the stepped down portion, it becomes possible to prevent penetration of the resin to the back surface of the semiconductor chip upon injection of the resin. Thus, failure by external appearance inspection can be reduced to improve yield of production..
- Also, for achieving the foregoing object, it is preferred that the molded resin portion is formed with an over-hang portion overlapping with the upper end surface of the semiconductor device.

- The resin may be injected through one or more through holes provided in the wired substrate for electrical connection under pressure for forming the under-fill region and the molded resin portion.
- By using the through hole, it becomes unnecessary to form the through opening in the printed circuit board to contribute for down-sizing of the printed circuit board to contribute for reduction of weight and size of the semiconductor package.
- For accomplishing the above-mentioned object, according to the third aspect of the present invention, a resin seal process of a semiconductor device for sealing an molding object, in which a semiconductor chip is connected with a wired substrate by a flip chip connection, by way of a transfer sealing method, comprises steps of:
- setting the molding object within a mold;
- clamping the mold;

- First Embodiment
- At first, the first embodiment of the present invention will be discussed hereinafter with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic longitudinal section of an internal structure of the first embodiment of a semiconductor package according to the present invention.
- A semiconductor package1 with a BGA structure includes a
semiconductor chip 2, in which semiconductor circuits are integrated at high density. Thesemiconductor chip 2 is mounted on an upper surface of aninterposer substrate 3. Thesemiconductor chip 2 is formed with a plurality of connection pads (not shown) on the lower surface thereof. Theinterposer substrate 3 is formed with a plurality of connection pads (not shown) on the upper and lower surfaces thereof. On the other hand, at a position of theinterposer substrate 3 in opposition to thesemiconductor chip 2, a throughhole 10 extending through theinterposer substrate 3 is provided and opening to both of the upper and lower surfaces thereof is formed. - More particularly, the
interposer substrate 3 is formed with a large number of connection pads on the center portion of the upper surface at positions respectively corresponding to the connection pads of thesemiconductor chip 2 at high density. On the other hand, on the lower surface of the interposer substrate, a large number of connection pads are formed over substantially entire surface at low density. Theinterposer substrate 3 has a multi-layer structure. On an upper surface, a lower surface and inside, a large number of printed circuits and through holes are formed. Via these printed circuits and the through holes, large number of connection pads on the upper surface and the lower surface are appropriately connected. - On each connection pad, a
solder bump 4 is provided. The connection pad on the lower surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 and the connection pad on the upper surface of theinterposer substrate 3 are mechanically connected and electrically connected. It should be noted that an under-fill region as a gap between thesemiconductor chip 2 and theinterposer substrate 3, a molded resin portion as peripheral region of thesemiconductor chip 2, and the throughhole 10 are filled with a moldedresin 11 of biphenyl type resin formed by transfer seal. By the moldedresin 11, mechanical connection between the lower surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 and the upper surface of theinterposer substrate 3 can be reinforced. - Furthermore, on the upper surface of the
semiconductor chip 2, a top plate formmetallic heat spreader 7 is bonded by ametal paste 8 or the like. Also, on the upper surface of the moldedresin 11, theheat spreader 7 is bonded by a bonding agent of epoxy resin. - In the semiconductor package1 of the construction set forth above, semiconductor circuits are integrated on the
semiconductor chip 2 at high density. Also, connection pads are arranged at high density. It should be noted that a large number of connection pads of thesemiconductor chip 2 arranged at high density are respectively connected to a large number of connection pads on the upper surface of theinterposer 3 through the solder bumps 4. The large number of connection pads on the upper surface of theinterposer substrate 3 are connected to a large number of connection pads arranged on the lower surface thereof at low density. - FIG. 2 is a partial enlarged view of the semiconductor package1 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 2 diagrammatically shows a shape of the molded resin around a junction of the
semiconductor chip 2, theheat spreader 7 and the moldedresin 11. - A stepped down
portion 12 as a recessed portion having a tilted surface descending from the upper peripheral edge of thesemiconductor chip 2, is formed in the moldedresin 11. On the other hand, at a higher position than the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2, an upper surface portion of the moldedresin 11 is formed. Here, the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 3 means the surface located at the upper side in the drawing and is referred to the surface on which theheat spreader 7 is bonded bymetal paste 8. - By forming the stepped down
portion 12 in the molded resin portion, when extra mount of themetal paste 8 used for connecting thesemiconductor chip 2 and theheat spreader 7 or extra amount of the bonding agent to be used for connection between theheat spreader 7 and the moldedresin 11, runs off upon bonding theheat spreader 7, the running off metal paste or the bonding agent can be captured by the stepped downportion 12. By this, admixing of themetal paste 8 and the bonding agent on the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 or on the upper surface of the molded resin can be prevented to enhance reliability of mechanical connection of theheat spreader 7. - On the other hand, by forming the back surface of the
semiconductor chip 2 at higher position that the upper surface of the moldedresin 11, contacting between the top plate typemetallic heat spreader 7 and thesemiconductor chip 2 can be prevented for avoiding breakage of thesemiconductor chip 2 due to contact between thesemiconductor chip 2 and theheat spreader 7. On the other hand, since it becomes unnecessary to form the stiffener employed conventionally, simplification of parts construction and simplification of the fabrication process can be achieved to shorten fabrication period and reduction of fabrication cost. - Concerning the fabrication process of the first embodiment of the semiconductor package1, discussion will be given with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic flow of process step of the fabrication process of the semiconductor package 1.
- The through
hole 10 is formed, and theinterposer substrate 3, in which a plurality of printed circuits and through holes are formed on the upper and lower surfaces and within the multi-layer structure. On the other hand, thesemiconductor chip 2 formed with the solder bumps 4 are separately prepared to establish flip chip connection between thesemiconductor chip 2 and theinterposer substrate 3. Subsequently, washing and drying of flux used for flip chip connection is performed, and then O2 plasma washing is performed. - A sub-assembly of the
semiconductor chip 2 and theinterposer substrate 3 connected by flip chip connection is set in amold 13 which is prepared preliminarily. Then,biphenyl resin is injected from aplunger 14 through the throughhole 10 under pressure to fill to cure the biphenyl resin to form the molded resin 11 (transfer seal). - The
semiconductor chip 2, theinterposer substrate 3 as integrated by the moldedresin 11 is removed from themold 13 to apply the metal paste, such as silver paste or the like on the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 and to apply the bonding agent, such as epoxy resin on the upper surface of the moldedresin 11. Subsequently,theheat spreader 7 is contacted on thesemiconductor chip 2 and the moldedresin 11 for bonding. - Furthermore, by providing the solder bumps even on the
interposer substrate 3, the semiconductor package is completed. - Concerning the foregoing transfer seal, detailed discussion will be given with reference to FIGS.4 to 6. FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic illustration of one embodiment of the sealing mold in the case where the
mold 13 is formed with anupper die 13 a, anintermediate die 13 b and alower die 13 c. FIG. 5 is a sectional side elevation of the mold in a condition where the mold is clamped with setting the package. - As a condition for transfer seal, filling of the biphenyl resin is performed in the following setting range.
Mold Temperature 170 to 180° C. Injection Period 10 to 20 Sec. Injection Pressure 80 to 100 kgf/cm2 Mold Clamping Pressure 75 to 150 kgf/cm2 - The injection period was varied with the range set forth above depending upon resin characteristics and the injection pressure is also controlled in multiple stage speeds and multiple stage pressure with taking the resin characteristics and strength of the solder bumps into account. As an example, a mode, in which “up to a
resin injection conduit 17, a feeding speed is high, and during filling in the gap between thesemiconductor chip 2 and theinterposer substrate 3, the feeding speed is low, and thereafter, the feeding speed is again high” can considered. - On the other hand, as biphenyl resin to be filled, a resin satisfying the following condition was used.
Filler Content 80% or more Filler diameter 54 μm or less Minimum Molten Viscosity 25 × 102 Nm or less - Designing condition of the solder bumps provided in the gap between the
semiconductor chip 2 and theinterposer 3 was as follow.Bump Material eutectic solder bump, lead free solder bump, gold bump Bump Height 20 to 150 μm - In the upper die13 a, a
runner 15 as a flow passage of molten biphenyl resin is formed. Biphenyl resin injected by theplunger 14 under pressure is supplied to the surface contacting with theintermediate die 13 b. - In the
intermediate die 13 b, agate plate 16 is provided detachably. In thegate plate 16, aresin injection conduit 17 as a conduit for injecting biphenyl resin to thelower die 13 c is formed at a position corresponding to therunner 15. - In the
lower die 13 c, aplunger introducing opening 18 for injecting biphenyl resin into therunner 15 by inserting theplunger 14, and acavity portion 19 for forming the moldedresin 11 into objected shape are formed. - FIG. 6 is partial enlarged view of FIG. 5. In the
lower die 13 c, a plurality of suction holes 21 are provided. Along the inner periphery of thelower die 13 c, achip protection sheet 20 formed from a film of about 50 μm thick and having high elastic modulus is fitted. Then, deaeration is performed externally to tightly fit thechip protection sheet 20 on thecavity portion 19. On the other hand, thesemiconductor chip 2 and theinterposer substrate 3 integrated by flip chip connection are set directing the throughhole 10 toward theintermediate die 13 b. Subsequently, the upper die 13 a, theintermediate die 13 b and thelower die 13 c are combined to firmly fix respective parts by a not shown clamping means. At this time, the position of the throughhole 10 corresponds to the position corresponding to theresin injection conduit 17. In FIG. 4, the interposer substrate is illustrated as being transparent for making the solder bumps 4 of thesemiconductor chip 2 visible. Thus, a relationship in position between the throughhole 10 and thesemiconductor chip 2 is clearly shown. - When the
plunger 14 is inserted into theplunger insertion opening 18 to feed biphenyl resin from theplunger 14 under pressure. Then, biphenyl resin is filled into thecavity portion 19 via theresin injection conduit 17 and the throughhole 10 to fill the throughhole 10, the under-fill region and mold resin portion. Subsequently, by curing biphenyl resin by holding themold 13 in a given period, thesemiconductor chip 2, theinterposer substrate 3 and the moldedresin 11 are integrally molded. - As shown in FIG. 6, a height difference between the back surface of the
semiconductor chip 2 and the upper surface of the moldedresin 11 was set within a range from 10 to 20 μm, a height difference between the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 and the bottom surface portion of the stepped downportion 12 was set within a range from 10 to 30 μm, a distance from the side surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 and the ends portion of the bottom surface of the stepped downportion 12 is less than or equal to 60 μm, and the width of the bottom surface of the stepped downportion 12 is greater than or equal to 1 mm. - Since a structure for forming the stepped down
portion 12 is provided in thecavity portion 19, tightness of fitting of thechip protection sheet 20 and thesemiconductor chip 2 at the corner portion on the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 is increased to prevent penetration of the resin into the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 upon injecting the molten resin under pressure for forming the moldedresin 11. When a distance between the stepped downportion 12 and the side surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 is small, since the flow passage is narrower than other portion in the package, flow amount of the molten resin for forming the moldedresin 11 toward the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 is decreased to further enhance penetration prevention effect to the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2. - An example of the semiconductor package after formation of the molded
resin 11 is shown in FIG. 14. On the side periphery portion of thesemiconductor chip 2, the molded resin portion is formed by the moldedresin 11. Depending on the shape of themold 13, there is a case to form the molded resin portion only in the periphery of thesemiconductor chip 2 and a case to form over the entire region of theinterposer substrate 3. On the other hand, in some desired characteristics of the semiconductor package, the moldedresin 11 may be formed with covering the upper surface portion of thesemiconductor chip 2. - By forming the molded
resin 11 over substantially entire region of theinterposer substrate 3, strength of the overall semiconductor package can be enhanced to reduce bowing of the semiconductor package upon heating process. Therefore, reliability in mounting of the semiconductor package can be improved. - Second Embodiment
- As the second embodiment of the present invention, concerning the semiconductor package of the shape not providing the stepped down
portion 12, only portions different from the first embodiment will be discussed. - FIG. 7 is a sectional side elevation of the mold in a condition where the semiconductor package is set and the mold is clamped. In FIG. 7, a shape of the molded
resin 11 in the vicinity of the junction of thesemiconductor chip 2, theheat spreader 7 and the moldedresin 11 is illustrated diagrammatically. - In portion around the upper surface of the
semiconductor chip 2, anover-hang portion 22, in which the moldedresin 11 overlaps over thesemiconductor chip 2, is formed. On the other hand, the upper surface portion of the moldedresin 11 is formed at a position higher than the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2. At this time, a difference in the height direction between the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 and the upper surface of the moldedresin 11 is less than or equal to 0.1 mm. The over-hanging amount as overlapping amount over thesemiconductor chip 2 in theover-hanging portion 22 is set to be less than or equal to 50 μm. - By forming the
over-hang portion 22 on the peripheral portion of the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2, the corner portion of thesemiconductor chip 2 is protected by the moldedresin 11 to reduce damage of thesemiconductor chip 2. - By forming the upper surface of the molded
resin 11 at higher position than the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2, contact of the top plate formmetallic heat spreader 7 and thesemiconductor chip 2 is prevented to prevent damage of thesemiconductor chip 2 by contacting between thesemiconductor chip 2 and theheat spreader 7. On the other hand, since it is unnecessary to form the stiffener as required in the prior art, simplification of parts construction and simplification of the fabrication process can be achieved to shorten fabrication period and reduction of fabrication cost. - By providing the structure for forming the
over-hang portion 22 in thecavity portion 19, damaging of the corner portion of the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 by contact between the corner portion of the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2 and thecavity portion 19, can be successfully prevented. Also, tightness of fitting thechip protection sheet 20 on thesemiconductor chip 2 is enhanced to successfully prevent the molten resin from penetrating to the back surface of thesemiconductor chip 2. - Third Embodiment
- As the third embodiment of the present invention, another embodiment of the upper die13 a, the
gate plate 16 and the throughopening 10 will be discussed only for the portions different from those in the first embodiment with reference to the drawings. - FIG. 8A briefly shows a combination of the upper die13 a, the
gate plate 16 and thelower die 13 c. In order to make a relationship in position of therunner 15, aresin injection conduit 17, the throughopening 10 and thesemiconductor chip 2 clear, theinterposer substrate 3 is illustrate as being transparent. - FIG. 8B is an embodiment where a plurality of through
holes 10 are formed. The throughopenings 10 are formed even positions outside of the region corresponding to thesemiconductor chip 2 of theinterposer 3. As thegate plate 16 in which theresin injection hole 17 is provided at the position corresponding to the throughhole 10. On the other hand, as the upper die 13 a, therunner 15 is formed so that themolten resin 11 can be supplied to the position corresponding to theresin injection conduit 17. - FIG. 9 shows an example showing a position of the through
openings 10 in theinterposer substrate 3 and illustrates the condition where thesemiconductor chip 2 and theinterposer substrate 3 are connected by flip chip connection, as viewed from the interposer substrate side. In order to make a relationship in position between the throughhole 10 and semiconductor chip clear, theinterposer substrate 2 is illustrated as being transparent. As shown in FIG. 8B, thegate plate 16 in which theresin injection hole 17 is provided at the position corresponding to the throughhole 10. On the other hand, as the upper die 13 a, therunner 15 is formed so that themolten resin 11 can be supplied to the position corresponding to theresin injection conduit 17. - Since the molten resin for forming the molded
resin 11 can be injected through a plurality of throughholes 10, a period required for filing the molten resin can be shortened to increase production amount per unit period to lower production cost. On the other hand, by adjusting positions and number of the through openings provided at portions corresponding to thesemiconductor chip 2, transfer seal can be performed depending upon the shape of thecavity portion 19. - Fourth Embodiment
- As the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the case where the molten resin for forming the molded
resin 11 is filled through a plurality of through openings, will be discussed with reference to the drawings. - FIG. 10 is a diagrammatic illustration showing the embodiment of the sealing mold in the case where the
mold 13 is consisted of the upper die 13 a, theintermediate die 13 b and thelower die 13 c. - In the upper die13 a, a plurality of
runners 15 as flow passage to flow the molten biphenyl resin are formed for supplying the molten biphenyl resin injected by theplunger 14 under pressure to the surface contacting with theintermediate die 13 b. Some of therunners 15 are formed with timedifference adjusting portions 23 as space wider than other portion. - In the
intermediate die 13 b, thegate plate 16 is provided detachably. In thegate plate 16, at positions corresponding to therunners 15, theresin injection conduits 17 are formed for injecting the molten biphenyl resin to thelower die 13 c. - In the
lower die 13 c, theplunger introducing opening 18 for inserting theplunger 14 for injecting the molten biphenyl resin into therunners 15 of the upper die 13 a, and thecavity portion 19 for forming the moldedresin 11 into a desired shape, are formed. - When the
plunger 14 is inserted into theplunger introducing opening 18 and biphenyl resin is injected from theplunger 14, biphenyl resin is filled in thecavity portion 19 via therunners 15, theresin injection conduits 17 and the throughopenings 10. At this time, in therunners 15 formed with the timedifference adjusting portions 23, biphenyl resin flows into theresin injection conduits 17 after filling the time different adjusting portion to provide a time difference in filling through the throughopenings 10 in comparison with the filling timing of biphenyl resin flowing into theresin injection conduit 17 from therunner 15 not formed in the timedifference adjusting portion 23. - Subsequently, by curing biphenyl resin by cooling the entire mold, the
semiconductor chip 2, theinterposer substrate 3 and the moldedresin 11 are formed integrally. - In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, among three
runners 15, therunner 15 located at center is not provided with the timedifference adjusting portion 23, whereas other tworunners 15 are provided with the timedifference adjusting portions 23, biphenyl resin is filled on the side surface of the semiconductor chip after filling biphenyl resin into the gap between thesemiconductor chip 2 and theinterposer substrate 3. Thus, by preferentially filling biphenyl to the under-fill region as the gap between thesemiconductor chip 2 and theinterposer substrate 3, formation of the internal void can be restricted to improve yield in fabrication. - On the other hand, while not illustrated in FIG. 10, by varying width of the resin flow passage of the
runner 15, time difference can be provided in filling biphenyl resin similar to the timedifference adjusting portion 23. In this case, since amounts of biphenyl resin to be filled from the through openings per unit period are different, speed of filling of the resin can be set to be different per respective through openings. By filling the resin depending upon the shape of the semiconductor package, occurrence of the internal void can be restricted to improve yield in fabrication. - Fifth Embodiment
- As the fifth embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment for transfer sealing a plurality of semiconductor packages will be discussed with reference to the drawings.
- FIG. 11A is an illustration showing a condition where the upper die13 a, the
intermediate die 13 b and thelower die 13 c are combined in transparent manner. In the upper die 13 a, a plurality ofrunners 15 are formed and a plurality ofresin injection conduits 17 are formed in thegate plate 16. In thelower die 13 c, a plurality ofsemiconductor chip 2 and theinterposer substrate 3 are set. - FIG. 11B is a sectional side elevation of FIG. 11A, in which a plurality of
semiconductor chips 2 are transfer sealed by onemold 13. - On the other hand, discussion will be given for the case where a
substrate protection sheet 24 is used in place of theintermediate die 13 b and thegate plate 16 in transfer seal, with reference to FIG. 12. By inserting thesubstrate protection sheet 24 provided with theresin injection conduit 17 between the upper die 13 a and theinterposer substrate 3, damage of theinterposer substrate 3 by contact between the upper die 13 a and theinterposer substrate 3 can be prevented. - Since a plurality of semiconductor packages can be transfer sealed simultaneously by one set of mold, it becomes possible to easily increase production amount per unit period and to reduce production cost.
- Sixth Embodiment
- As the sixth embodiment, discussion will be given for injection of biphenyl in the case where the through
opening 10 only for filling the resin in theinterposer substrate 3 is not provided, with reference to the drawing. - FIG. 13 is a sectional side elevation of the mold and package in the condition where the package is set and the mold is clamped upon injecting biphenyl resin using a through
hole 25. - Normally, the
interposer substrate 3 is formed with throughhole 25 for electrically connecting both surfaces of theinterposer substrate 3. In case that theinterposer substrate 3 has multi-layer structure, the through hole establishes electrical connection of the surface and back surface with complicate diffraction. However, here, it is assumed that the throughhole 25 is formed to extend both surfaces of theinterposer substrate 3 in straight. In this case, both surfaces of theinterposer substrate 3 are electrically connected and, in conjunction therewith, biphenyl resin can be injected through the throughhole 25. - As shown in FIG. 13, the
gate plate 16 formed with theresin injection conduits 17 at positions corresponding to the throughholes 25 is prepared and injecting the biphenyl resin through the throughholes 25, transfer seal can be performed without forming the throughopenings 10 in theinterposer substrate 3. Since the throughopenings 10 are not required to be formed in theinterposer substrate 3, area of theinterposer substrate 3 can be made small to contribute for down-sizing of the semiconductor package. - Since the surface of the semiconductor chip is formed at lower position than the resin surface of the molded resin, it can successfully present contact between the heat spreader and the semiconductor chip which otherwise damage the semiconductor chip in the subsequent process. Also, since it becomes unnecessary to form stiffener, fabrication process and component parts can be simplified as compared with the prior art to permit lowering of production cost.
- By forming the stepped down portion in the molded resin portion, extra amount of metal paste and/or bonding agent to be used for securing the heat spreader on the semiconductor chip and/or the molded resin portion, can be captured to prevent occurrence of bonding failure.
- By forming the over-hang portion, the corner portions of the semiconductor chip can be protected by the resin to successfully prevent breakage of the semiconductor chip.
- By forming the molded resin over substantially entire area, bowing of the semiconductor package in heat treatment in the subsequent process to improve reliability in mounting of the semiconductor package.
- By using the through hole, it becomes unnecessary to form the through opening in the printed circuit board to contribute for down-sizing of the printed circuit board to contribute for reduction of weight and size of the semiconductor package.
- By making the resin flow passage provided in the mold corresponding to the semiconductor package, it becomes possible to fabricate variety of semiconductor packages with only exchanging the mold to simplify fabrication process. ON the other hand, in order to fill the resin from the through opening, it is possible to set the process for preferentially filling the resin of the under-fill region.
- By varying the injection amount of the resin according to elapsed time, filing of the resin into particular portion of the semiconductor package can be assured. Resin sealing corresponding various kind of semiconductor packages can be performed.
- By filing the resin from a plurality of positions, a period required for filing can be shortened by reducing production cost.
- Since resin filling speed to the under-fill region can be higher than that of the mold resin portion, filing of resin into the under-fill region can be done at early timing in comparison with filling in the mold resin portion for ensuring filing of the resin within the under-fill area to suppress formation of the internal void to improve reliability of the semiconductor package.
- Also, by filling the resin in a lump, number of semiconductor package to be fabricated within the unit period can be increased to contribute for lowering of production cost.
- Since volumes of respective resin passages are different, filling start timing and filling speed can be varied at respective route of the resin passages to permit resin seal or encapsulation depending upon the shape of the semiconductor passage and thus to adapt for increased variety of the products.
- In case of the mold exchangeable of the resin injection conduit and the runner, it is facilitated to exchange the resin flow passage to permit resin seal or encapsulation depending upon the shape of the semiconductor passage and thus to adapt for increased variety of the products.
- Furthermore, by providing the stepped down portion, penetration of the resin to the back surface of the semiconductor chip can be prevented to contribute for improvement of yield in production.
- Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with respect to exemplary embodiment thereof, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and various other changes, omission and additions may be made therein and thereto, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention should not be understood as limited to the specific embodiment set out above but to include all possible embodiments, which can be embodied within a scope encompassed and equivalent thereof with respect to the feature set out in the appended claims.
