This application relates to the field of semiconductor technologies, and in particular, to a chip package and a chip package preparation method in the field of semiconductor technologies.
In a semiconductor packaging technology, a flip chip technology is a common packaging technology. The flip chip technology is a technology in which a tin-lead ball is deposited on an input/output (I/O) pad of a die, then the die is turned over and heated, and a fused tin-lead ball is combined with a packaging substrate.
To further improve a heat dissipation capability of the die, the die soldered on the packaging substrate may be exposed. U.S. Patent Application No. US 2002/0060084A1 describes protecting a flip chip package for stress control, and discloses a flip chip package 1 shown in
However, because the bottom filling agent is liquid, and the die 2 is a solid, at a contact position between the die 2 and the bottom filling agent, there is an included angle (that is, a wetting angle) between a tangent m of a solid-state surface and a tangent n of a liquid-state surface. Therefore, the bottom filler 6 formed by solidifying the bottom filling agent also has such an included angle. In this case, an edge and a corner of the die 2 are exposed outside the bottom filler 6, that is, the edge and the corner of the die 2 are not protected.
Therefore, for the flip chip package shown in
Embodiments of this application provide a chip package and a chip package preparation method, to protect a die and further improve performance of the die.
According to a first aspect, an embodiment of this application provides a chip package, including a substrate, a die, a first protection structure, and a blocking structure. The die, the first protection structure, and the blocking structure are all disposed on a first surface of the substrate. The first protection structure wraps a side surface of the die, the blocking structure wraps a surface that is of the first protection structure and that is away from the die, and a first surface of the die, a first surface of the first protection structure, and a first surface of the blocking structure are flush. The first surface of the die is a surface that is of the die and that is away from the substrate, the first surface of the first protection structure is a surface that is of the first protection structure and that is away from the substrate, and the first surface of the blocking structure is a surface that is of the blocking structure and that is away from the substrate.
In the chip package provided in this embodiment of this application, the first protection structure wraps the side surface of the die, so that the die can be protected. The first surface of the die is flush with the first surface of the first protection structure, so that both an edge and a corner of the die are wrapped by the first protection structure, and more complete protection can be achieved. In addition, in a scenario in which a heat sink is provided for the die or a scenario in which an entire package vibrates or falls, the chip package provided in this embodiment of this application can avoid a case that the die cracks due to uneven stress caused by collision of the package or another device (for example, a heat sink disposed above the first surface of the die) on the die. Therefore, reliability and safety of the die can be improved by using the chip package 100 provided in this embodiment of this application.
In addition, the first surface of the die is flush with the first surface of the first protection structure, so that it can be ensured that the surface of the die is not covered by the surface of the first protection structure. In addition, because a material of the first protection structure is a high-thermally-conductive material, the surface may be equivalent to a surface extension, so that a heat dissipation area of the die can be increased, thereby improving a heat dissipation capability of the die.
In conclusion, the chip package provided in this embodiment of this application can improve performance of the die.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment of this application, that the first protection structure wraps the side surface of the die may be understood as that a surface that is of the first protection structure and that is close to the die touches a surface that is of the die and that is close to the first protection structure.
In a possible implementation, a second protection structure is disposed between the substrate and the die.
In the chip package provided in this embodiment of this application, the second protection structure is disposed between the substrate and the die, so that a case in which the die cracks due to uneven stress caused by a material difference between the substrate and the die can be avoided. In addition, a pad of the substrate and the die and a solder ball used for an electrical connection to the pad can be prevented from being polluted by moisture or other impurities, thereby improving reliability and safety of the chip package.
In a possible implementation, a material of the first protection structure is different from a material of the second protection structure.
In a possible implementation, viscosity of the material of the first protection structure is greater than viscosity of the material of the second protection structure.
It should be noted that the first protection structure is mainly used to fasten and protect the die, and the second protection structure is mainly used to fill a gap between the substrate and the die and reduce impact on the die caused due to stress brought by a material difference between the die and the substrate. Therefore, the material of the first protection structure may have higher viscosity, and the material of the second protection structure may have lower viscosity. In other words, the viscosity of the material of the first protection structure may be greater than the viscosity of the material of the second protection structure.
In a possible implementation, there are a plurality of dies, and orthographic projections of the plurality of dies on the first surface of the substrate do not overlap with each other.
In the chip package provided in this embodiment of this application, one first protection structure and one blocking structure may protect a plurality of dies, so that manufacturing process complexity and manufacturing costs can be reduced.
In a possible implementation, there are a plurality of first protection structures, each of the plurality of first protection structures wraps at least one of the plurality of dies, and different first protection structures wrap different dies.
In a possible implementation, there are a plurality of blocking structures, a quantity of the plurality of blocking structures is equal to a quantity of the plurality of first protection structures, and the plurality of blocking structures separately wrap the plurality of first protection structures.
It should be noted that, when first surfaces of some or all of the plurality of dies are not flush, an independent first protection structure and an independent blocking structure are disposed for at least one die with a flush first surface in the plurality of dies, to ensure that each die and an edge of a first protection structure that wraps the die are completely covered, thereby ensuring heat dissipation performance and stability of each die, and improving reliability of the chip package.
According to a second aspect, an embodiment of this application further provides an integrated circuit, including a printed circuit board (PCB) and the chip package according to the first aspect or any possible implementation of the first aspect that is disposed on the PCB.
According to a third aspect, an embodiment of this application further provides a chip package preparation method, including: disposing a die on a first surface of a substrate; disposing a first blocking structure around a side surface of the die on the first surface of the substrate, where there is a gap between the first blocking structure and the die, a distance between a first surface of the first blocking structure and the first surface of the substrate is greater than a distance between a first surface of the die and the first surface of the substrate, the first surface of the first blocking structure is a surface that is of the first blocking structure and that is away from the substrate, and the first surface of the die is a surface that is of the die and that is away from the substrate; filling the gap between the first blocking structure and the die with a first filling material, until a first surface of the first filling material is flush with the first surface of the first blocking structure, where the first surface of the first filling material is a surface that is of the first filling material and that is away from the substrate; heating and solidifying the first filling material to form a third protection structure; and grinding a first surface of the third protection structure and the first surface of the first blocking structure, until the first surface of the die is exposed.
In a possible implementation, before the filling the gap between the first blocking structure and the die with a first filling material, the preparation method further includes: adding a second filling material between the die and the substrate; and heating and solidifying the second filling material to form a second protection structure.
In a possible implementation, a material of the third protection structure is different from a material of the second protection structure.
In a possible implementation, viscosity of the material of the third protection structure is greater than viscosity of the material of the second protection structure.
In a possible implementation, there are a plurality of dies, and the disposing a die on a first surface of a substrate includes: disposing the plurality of dies on the first surface of the substrate, where orthographic projections of the plurality of dies on the first surface of the substrate do not overlap with each other.
In a possible implementation, there are a plurality of first blocking structures, and the disposing a first blocking structure around a side surface of the die on the first surface of the substrate includes: disposing the plurality of first blocking structures on the first surface of the substrate, where each of the plurality of first blocking structures surrounds a side surface of at least one of the plurality of dies, and a different first blocking structure surrounds different dies.
In a possible implementation, the filling the gap between the first blocking structure and the die with a first filling material includes: filling, with the first filling material, a gap between each first blocking structure and the at least one die surrounded by each first blocking structure.
The following describes technical solutions of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The surface 120a of the die 120 is flush with the surface 130a of the first protection structure 130, so that both an edge and a corner of the die 120 are wrapped by the first protection structure 130, and more complete protection can be achieved. In addition, in a scenario in which a heat sink is provided for the die or a scenario in which an entire package vibrates or falls, the chip package 100 can avoid a case that the die 120 cracks due to uneven stress caused by collision of the package or another device (for example, a heat sink disposed above the surface 120a of the die 120) on the die 120.

In addition, because the material of the first protection structure 130 is the high-thermally-conductive material, the surface 130a may be equivalent to an extension of the surface 120a, so that a heat dissipation area of the die 120 can be increased, thereby improving a heat dissipation capability of the die 120.

In a possible implementation, a material of the first protection structure 230 is different from a material of the second protection structure 250.
For example, viscosity of the material of the first protection structure 230 is different from viscosity of the material of the second protection structure 250.
Further, the viscosity of the material of the first protection structure 230 may be greater than the viscosity of the material of the second protection structure 250.
It should be noted that the first protection structure 230 is mainly used to fasten and protect the die 220, and the second protection structure 250 is mainly used to fill the gap between the substrate 210 and the die 220 and reduce impact on the die caused due to stress brought by a material difference between the die and the substrate. Therefore, the material of the first protection structure 230 may have higher viscosity, and the material of the second protection structure 250 may have lower viscosity. In other words, the viscosity of the material of the first protection structure 230 may be greater than the viscosity of the material of the second protection structure 250.
