According to the fabrication method for the semiconductor structure and the semiconductor structure provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the formed conductive film layer covers the surface of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip and the portions of the pads exposed from the openings, and the thickness of the portion of the conductive film layer located on the side of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip is less than the thickness of the portion of the conductive film layer covering the pads, when the conductive film layer is etched, the portion of the conductive film layer covering the pads will not be completely etched, and the obtained conductive structures located in the openings are definitely in contact with the pads; compared with a solution in which a patterned photoresist layer is formed on the side of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip at first (the photoresist layer is provided with hollow regions), and then the conductive structure and the conductive traces on the conductive structure are simultaneously formed in the hollow regions of the photoresist layer, opening misalignment between the hollow regions and the first insulating layer caused by process errors can be avoided, which might have further led to non-exposure of the pads from the hollow regions which may further cause invalid electrical connection between the conductive structures formed in the hollow regions and the pads, so that the electrical connection effect between the conductive structures and the pads can be ensured; and compared with a solution to broaden a size of the hollow regions of the photoresist layer to ensure that the hollow regions can fully expose the pads considering the process errors, short circuit between adjacent wirings in the redistribution structure caused by insufficient distance between adjacent hollow regions after the photoresist layer is removed can be avoided, according to the present application, openings in the first insulating layer do not need to be broadened while the electrical connection between the conductive structures and the pads can still be guaranteed, which can reduce a distance between adjacent wirings in the redistribution layer, hence when there is a small distance between adjacent pads of the chip, embodiments of the present application can still avoid the short circuit between adjacent wirings in the redistribution layer, which can improve yield rate of the semiconductor structure, reduce process accuracy requirements.


The steps of the fabrication method for the semiconductor structure provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.


In step 110, providing a to-be-wired structure, where the to-be-wired structure includes at least one chip, the chip includes a front surface, and the front surface of the chip is provided with pads.


In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 1, the to-be-wired structure includes a plurality of chips. The step 110 of providing the to-be-wired structure includes: providing a wafer including a plurality of connected chips. By this step, the to-be-wired structure as shown in FIG. 2 can be obtained. The to-be-wired structure 10 shown in FIG. 2 is the wafer. Referring to FIG. 2, the wafer 11 includes a plurality of chips 12 connected together. The chips 12 being connected together refers to that at least part of layers of the chips 12 are an integral structure.



FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A are schematic partial structural diagrams of the to-be-wired structure 10, and are also schematic structural diagrams of one chip in the to-be-wired structure 10. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A, the chip 12 includes a base layer 123, a plurality of pads 121 on the base layer 123, and an insulating film layer 122. A circuit is disposed in the base layer 123, and the pads 121 are electrically connected to the circuit in the base layer 123 to lead out the circuit in the base layer 123. The insulating film layer 122 covers edges of the pads 121, and a portion of each pad 121 is not covered by the insulating film layer 122. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4A, adjacent pads 121 in the same chip 12 are connected. In other embodiments, adjacent pads 121 in the same chip 12 may be spaced apart.


In another embodiment, the step 110 of providing the to-be-wired structure includes following processes.


First, providing a silicon substrate and a chip, where the silicon substrate is provided with a groove, and a front surface of the chip faces away from a bottom of the groove.


Then, placing the chip in the groove.


Then, filling a glue material between the chip and a sidewall of the groove, and curing the glue material to form a dielectric layer.


By this step, the to-be-wired structure as shown in FIG. 4B can be obtained. As shown in FIG. 4B, the chip 12 is located in the groove of the silicon substrate 33, the dielectric layer 34 is filled between the chip 12 and the sidewall of the groove, and a back surface of the chip 12 is bonded to the bottom of the groove through a bonding layer 35.


In another embodiment, the step 110 of providing the to-be-wired structure includes following processes.


Providing a third carrier and a plurality of chips, and mounting the chips on the third carrier, where front surfaces of the chips face away from the third carrier.


In this embodiment, the chips may be obtained by cutting a wafer.


By this step, the to-be-wired structure as shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 can be obtained. As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 7, the chips 12 are arranged on the third carrier 211 at intervals. A distance between adjacent chips 12 may be greater than that in the wafer. The third carrier 211 may be circular as shown in FIG. 5, or rectangular as shown in FIG. 6, or other shapes. The third carrier 211 may be a silicon substrate, a stainless steel substrate, a polymer substrate, or the like.


In an embodiment, the third carrier 211 is provided with a plurality of positioning portions 13. The positioning portions are used for positioning the chips 12 during mounting, which helps to improve precision of chip mounting.


In some embodiments, a back surface of each chip 12 is mounted on the third carrier 211 through a bonding layer 212. When the third carrier 211 is a silicon substrate, the bonding layer 212 may be a die attach film (DAF). When the third carrier 212 is a stainless steel substrate or a polymer substrate, the bonding layer 212 may be a double-sided adhesive. The bonding layer 212 may be made of a material that is easy to be stripped, so that subsequently the third carrier 211 can be stripped, for example, the bonding layer 212 may be made of a heat-separatable material that will lose adhesiveness by heating.


Steps 120 to 150 will be described in detail below by taking the to-be-wired structure shown in FIG. 2 as an example.


In step 120, forming a first insulating layer on the front surface of the chip, where the first insulating layer is provided with openings, and each of the openings exposes at least part of one of the pads.


In an embodiment, the first intermediate structure shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 may be obtained by step 120. Referring to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, a plurality of openings 31 are disposed on the first insulating layer 30, the openings 31 may be in one-to-one correspondence with the pads 121, and each opening 31 exposes a portion of the corresponding pad 121. A material of the first insulating layer 30 may be resin or other insulating materials.


In this embodiment, a complete insulating material layer may be formed on the to-be-wired structure 10 at first, and then the complete insulating material layer is patterned to form the openings 31 to obtain the first insulating layer 30. For example, the openings 31 may be formed by etching the complete first insulating layer.


In step 130, forming a conductive film layer on a side of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip, where the conductive film layer covers a surface of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip, side surfaces of the openings and portions of the pads exposed by the openings, and a thickness of a portion of the conductive film layer located on the side of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip is less than a thickness of a portion of the conductive film layer covering the pads.


In an embodiment, the step 130 of forming the conductive film layer on the side of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip includes:


At first, a first seed layer is formed on the front surface of the chip, and the first seed layer covers the surface of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip, the side surfaces of the openings, and the portion of the pads exposed by the openings.


By this step, the second intermediate structure shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 can be obtained. As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the first seed layer 41 is a complete layer, and the first seed layer 41 covers an entire area of a surface of the first intermediate structure on the side of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip.


Then, the conductive film layer is formed based on the first seed layer.


By this step, a third intermediate structure shown in FIG. 12 can be obtained. Referring to FIG. 12, the conductive film layer 40 includes the first seed layer 41 and a conductive layer 42 on a side of the first seed layer 41 facing away from the chip 12. The conductive layer 42 covers an entire area of the first seed layer 41.


For a surface of the conductive film layer facing away from the chip, a height of a partial surface of the conductive film layer 40 facing away from the chip 12 and in line with the openings 31 is slightly lower than a height of a partial surface of the conductive film layer 40 facing away from the chip and above the first insulating layer 30, and a difference between a distance from a partial surface of the conductive film layer 40 facing away from the chip and above the first insulating layer 30 to the chip 12, and a distance from a partial surface of the conductive film layer 40 facing away from the chip 12 and in line with the openings 31 to the chip is relatively small, for example, a ratio thereof ranges between 0.8-0.9. Since the difference between the distance from the partial surface of the conductive film layer 40 facing away from the chip and above the first insulating layer 30 to the chip 12, and the distance from the partial surface of the conductive film layer 40 facing away from the chip 12 and in line with the openings 31 to the chip is relatively small, in a subsequent process of etching the conductive film layer to remove a portion of the conductive film layer exceeding the first insulating layer, etching levels at different positions of the conductive film layer are of little difference, so that after the portion of the conductive film layer exceeding the first insulating layer is removed, the portion of the conductive film layer in the openings 31 will not be completely removed, and there is definitely a portion of the conductive film layer remained in the openings 31 and in direct contact with the pads, thereby ensuring the electrical connection between the subsequently formed conductive structures and the pads.


In an embodiment, the step of forming the conductive film layer based on the first seed layer may include: connecting the first seed layer 41 to a power, and performing electroplating to form a conductive layer 42 on a side of the first seed layer 41 facing away from the chip 12, to obtain the conductive film layer including the first seed layer 41 and the conductive layer 42.


A material of the conductive layer 42 includes a conductive material. When the conductive layer is formed by electroplating, a conductive material is deposited in the openings 31 at first, and after the openings 31 are substantially filled up with the conductive material, the conductive material starts to be deposited on the surface of the first insulating layer 30 facing away from the chip and above the opening 31, so that the difference between the distance from the partial surface of the conductive film layer 40 facing away from the chip and above the first insulating layer 30 to the chip 12, and the distance from the partial surface of the conductive film layer 40 facing away from the chip 12 and in line with the openings 31 to the chip is relatively small.


In step 140, removing a portion of the conductive film layer exceeding the first insulating layer to obtain conductive structures located in the openings and in direct contact with the pads.


The portion of the conductive film layer exceeding the first insulating layer refers to a portion of the conductive film layer beneath the surface of the conductive film layer facing away from the chip, and within a depth from a highest level of the surface of the conductive film layer facing away from the chip to a highest level of the surface of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip.


In an embodiment, the step 140 of removing the portion of the conductive film layer exceeding the first insulating layer to obtain the conductive structures located in the openings and in direct contact with the pads includes:

    • etching the conductive film layer to remove the portion of the conductive film layer exceeding the first insulating layer to obtain the conductive structures located in the openings and in direct contact with the pads.


Further, the conductive film layer may be etched by a wet etching process to remove the portion of the conductive film layer exceeding the first insulating layer. Specifically, respective positions of the conductive film layer are etched simultaneously by using the wet etching process. Etched thickness in the respective positions of the conductive film layer is substantially same. After the conductive film layer is etched by using the wet etching process, a fourth intermediate structure shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 may be obtained. Referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the portion of the conductive film layer 40 exceeding the first insulating layer 30 is removed, and the portion of the conductive film layer 40 within the openings 31 is retained.


As shown in FIG. 13, after the conductive film layer is etched by using the wet etching process, a height of a partial surface of the conductive film layer facing away from the chip 12 and located in the openings is lower than a height of a surface of the first insulating layer 30 facing away from the chip 12.


In another embodiment, removing the portion of the conductive film layer exceeding the first insulating layer includes: thinning the conductive film layer to remove the portion of the conductive film layer exceeding the first insulating layer. In some embodiments, the conductive film layer may be thinned by a grinding process.


In an embodiment, after removing the portion of the conductive film layer exceeding the first insulating layer, the fabrication method for the semiconductor structure further includes: thinning a portion of the conductive film layer in the openings and the first insulating layer, so that the surface of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip aligns with surfaces of the obtained conductive structures facing away from the chip.


By this step, a fifth intermediate structure shown in FIG. 15 can be obtained. As shown in FIG. 15, each conductive structure 43 includes a portion of the first seed layer 41 in each opening 31 and a portion of the conductive layer 42 in each opening 31.


The conductive film layer is etched, and after the portion of the conductive film layer exceeding the first insulating layer is removed, poor planeness is presented for the surface of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip and the surface of the conductive film layer facing away from the chip and within the openings, and by performing thinning, the planeness becomes better for a surface of the fifth intermediate structure facing away from the chip.


In step 150, forming a redistribution structure on the side of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip, where the redistribution structure is electrically connected to the conductive structures.


In an embodiment, the redistribution structure includes a redistribution layer on a side of the conductive structure facing away from the chip. The step 150 of forming the redistribution structure on the side of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip includes:


At first, forming a second seed layer on the side of the conductive structures facing away from the chip.


By this step, a sixth intermediate structure shown in FIG. 16 can be obtained. Referring to FIG. 16, the second seed layer 51 covers the surface of the conductive structures 43 facing away from the chip 12 and the surface of the first insulating layer 30 facing away from the chip 12. The second seed layer 51 is a complete layer covering the surface of the fifth intermediate structure on a side of the conductive structures 43 facing away from the chip.


Then, forming the redistribution layer based on the second seed layer.


In an embodiment, the step of forming the redistribution layer based on the second seed layer includes:

    • at first, disposing a patterned insulating material layer on a side of the second seed layer facing away from the chip, the insulating material layer is provided with a plurality of hollow portions, and each hollow portion exposes at least a portion of one conductive structure.


By this step, a seventh intermediate structure shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 can be obtained. FIG. 18 only shows portions the conductive structures 43, and the pads 121 not covered by the insulating film layer 122, and the insulating material layer 60. Referring to FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the insulating material layer 60 is provided with a plurality of hollow portions 61, the hollow portions 61 may be strip-shaped, and an orthographic projection of each hollow portion 61 on the second seed layer 51 overlaps an orthographic projection of one conductive structure 43 on the second seed layer 51. The hollow portions 61 may be in one-to-one correspondence with the conductive structures 43, and an orthographic projection of each hollow portion 61 on the second seed layer 51 overlaps with an orthographic projection of the corresponding conductive structure 43 on the second seed layer 51.


Then, connecting the second seed layer to a power for electroplating to form trace structures in the hollow portions.


By this step, an eighth intermediate structure shown in FIGS. 19 and 20 can be obtained. As shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, in each hollow portion, a trace structure 52 is formed. The eighth intermediate structure shown in FIG. 20 only illustrates portions of the conductive structures 43 and the pads 121 not covered by the insulating film layer 122, the insulating material layer 60 and the trace structures 52.


Then, removing the insulating material layer and a portion of the second seed layer not covered by the trace structures, where the redistribution layer includes the trace structures and the remaining second seed layer.


By this step, a ninth intermediate structure shown in FIG. 21 can be obtained. Referring to FIG. 21, the redistribution layer 53 includes a plurality of wirings 501, and each wiring 501 includes a remaining seed layer 51 and a trace structure 52.


In an embodiment, after the step of removing the insulating material layer and the portion of the second seed layer not covered by the redistribution structure, the step 150 of forming the redistribution structure on the side of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip further includes:

    • forming conductive pillars on a side of the redistribution layer facing away from the chip to obtain the redistribution structure including the redistribution layer and the conductive pillars.


The fabrication method for the semiconductor structure further includes: forming a second insulating layer; where the second insulating layer covers the redistribution layer and the conductive pillars, and surfaces of the conductive pillars facing away from the chip are exposed from the second insulating layer.


After forming the conductive pillars and the second insulating layer, the semiconductor structure shown in FIG. 22 to FIG. 24 can be obtained. FIG. 22 only shows the portions of the conductive structures 43 and the pads 121 not covered by the insulating film layer 122, the wirings 501, the conductive pillars 54 and the second insulating layer 70. Referring to FIGS. 22-24, the redistribution structure 50 includes the redistribution layer 53 and the conductive pillars 54. The second insulating layer 70 covers side portions of the redistribution layer 53 and the conductive pillars 54, and a surface of each conductive pillar 54 facing away from the chip is exposed from the second insulating layer 70.


In an embodiment, the step of forming the second insulating layer is performed before the step of forming the conductive pillars on the side of the redistribution layer facing away from the chip. The second insulating layer 70 is provided with through holes exposing a portion of the redistribution layer 53. Specifically, a plurality of through holes are formed in the second insulating layer 70, and each through hole exposes a portion of one wiring 501. Forming the conductive pillars on the side of the redistribution layer facing away from the chip includes: forming the conductive pillars on the side of the redistribution layer facing away from the chip in the through holes.

Referring back to FIG. 22, for the semiconductor structure obtained by the fabrication method for the semiconductor structure provided by the present disclosure, a distance between centers of two adjacent pads is w, a minimum distance between a wiring 501 and an adjacent opening 31 is x1, a radius of each opening 31 is x2, a half width of each wiring 501 is x3, and a process error is y, and a minimum value wmin of w, x1, x2, x3, and y satisfy the following formula:

Taking that the minimum distance x1 between the wiring 501 and the adjacent opening 31 being 15 μm, the radius x2 of each opening 31 being 25 μm, the width of each wiring 501 being 30 μm (i.e., half width x3=15 μm), and the process error y being 15 μm as an example, the minimum distance between centers of two adjacent pads is calculated by the above calculation formula (1) as wmin=70 μm. Taking that the minimum distance x1 between the wiring 501 and the adjacent opening 31 being 10 μm, the radius x2 of each opening 31 being 25 μm, the width of each wiring 501 being 30 μm (i.e., half width x3=15 μm), and the process error y being 15 μm as an example, the minimum distance between centers of two adjacent pads is calculated by the above calculation formula (1) as wmin=65 μm.


In a solution, in the semiconductor structure, the conductive structures in the openings and the wirings are formed in the same process step, specifically, firstly, a patterned photoresist layer (provided with a plurality of hollow regions) is formed on the side of the first insulating layer facing away from the chip, and then the conductive structures and the conductive traces located on the conductive structures are simultaneously formed in the hollow regions of the photoresist layer. In order to prevent misalignment between the hollow regions and the openings of the first insulating layer due to process errors, which might have caused that the hollow regions cannot expose the pads, and that the conductive structures formed in the hollow regions cannot be effectively electrically connected with the pads, a size of the hollow regions of the photoresist layer is broadened to ensure that the hollow regions can expose the pads. That is, the size of the hollow regions is large, and the wiring is formed in the hollow regions, and the size of the portion of the wiring aligning with the pad is large. As shown in FIG. 33, a width of the portion of the wiring 501′ in direct contact with the conductive structure 43′ is greater than a width of a surface of the conductive structure 43′ in contact with the wiring 501′, and the width of the portion of the wiring 501′ in direct contact with the conductive structure 43′ may be greater than a width of each opening 31′ and greater than a width of each pad 121′.


In this solution, a minimum distance between centers of two adjacent pads 121′ is w′, a minimum distance between adjacent wirings 501′ is x4′, a radius of each opening 31′ of the first insulating layer is x2′, and a process error is y′, and a minimum value w′min of w′, x4′, x2′, and y′ satisfy the following formula:

In this solution, taking that a diameter of each opening 31′ of the first insulating layer being 50 μm (i.e., x2′=25 μm), the minimum distance x4′ between two adjacent wirings 501′ being 15 μm, and the process error y′ being 15 μm as an example, w′min=95 μm is calculated according to the above formula (2). That is, comparing this solution and the embodiment shown in FIG. 22, when the diameter of each opening of the first insulating layer and the process error remain unchanged, the minimum distance w′min between centers of two adjacent pads in this solution is greater than the minimum distance wmin between centers of two adjacent pads in the embodiment shown in FIG. 22. When the minimum distance w′min between the centers of two adjacent pads in this solution is made same as the minimum distance wmin between the centers of two adjacent pads in the present disclosure, for example, the minimum distance between the centers of two adjacent pads is 65 μm, then the process error y′ in this solution is calculated to be 0 based on the above formula (2), which cannot be realized by existing processes.


By comparing this solution with the fabrication method for the semiconductor structure provided by the present disclosure, it can be seen that the distance between centers of two adjacent pads of the semiconductor structure obtained by the fabrication method for the semiconductor structure provided by the present disclosure is reduced, and the requirement on the fabrication accuracy of wirings is reduced.
