In recent years, the semiconductor industry has experienced rapid growth due to continuous improvement in integration density of various electronic components, e.g., transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors, etc. For the most part, this improvement in integration density has come from successive reductions in minimum feature size, which allows more components to be integrated into a given area.
These smaller electronic components also require smaller packages that occupy less area than previous packages. Examples of types of packages for semiconductors include quad flat packages (QFP), pin grid array (PGA) packages, ball grid array (BGA) packages, flip chips (FC), three-dimensional integrated circuits (3DICs), wafer level packages (WLPs), and package on package (PoP) devices, etc. A multi-chip wafer level package has emerged to further reduce the physical size of a package. However, there are many challenges related to such multi-chip wafer level package.
The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the provided subject matter. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below for the purposes of conveying the present disclosure in a simplified manner. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, the formation of a second feature over or on a first feature in the description that follows may include embodiments in which the second and first features are formed in direct contact, and may also include embodiments in which additional features may be formed between the second and first features, such that the second and first features may not be in direct contact. In addition, the same reference numerals and/or letters may be used to refer to the same or similar parts in the various examples the present disclosure. The repeated use of the reference numerals is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed.
Further, spatially relative terms, such as “beneath”, “below”, “lower”, “on”, “over”, “overlying”, “above”, “upper” and the like, may be used herein to facilitate the description of one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. The apparatus may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein may likewise be interpreted accordingly.
Other features and processes may also be included. For example, testing structures may be included to aid in the verification testing of the 3D packaging or 3DIC devices. The testing structures may include, for example, test pads formed in a redistribution layer or on a substrate that allows the testing of the 3D packaging or 3DIC, the use of probes and/or probe cards, and the like. The verification testing may be performed on intermediate structures as well as the final structure. Additionally, the structures and methods disclosed herein may be used in conjunction with testing methodologies that incorporate intermediate verification of known good dies to increase the yield and decrease costs.

Thereafter, the lowermost polymer layer 102 is patterned such that openings are formed to expose the connecting pads or the lowermost redistribution layer 104 of the first redistribution layer structure RDL1. In some embodiments, the openings are formed by a laser drilling process, a dry etching process or a suitable patterning process. Thereafter, bumps 112 are placed over the second side of the first redistribution layer structure RDL1 and bonded to the connecting pads of the first redistribution layer structure RDL1. In some embodiments, the bumps 112 may be solder bumps, and/or may include metal pillars (e.g., copper pillars), solder caps formed on metal pillars, and/or the like. The bumps 112 may be formed by a suitable process such as evaporation, electroplating, ball drop, or screen printing. A multi-chip wafer level package 1 is thus completed.

In some embodiments, the first and second semiconductor chips 100 and 200 are decoupling capacitors configured to keep the level voltages of the third and fourth semiconductor chips 300 and 400 relatively stable. Specifically, during the operation of circuits, the power supply lines supply transient currents with a relatively high intensity, which can result in voltage fluctuations on the power supply lines. Such issue is not observed in the disclosure. In some embodiments, the decoupling capacitors (e.g., the first and second semiconductor chips 100 and 200) are disposed close to (e.g., correspondingly below) the active devices (e.g., the third and fourth semiconductor chips 300 and 400), and act as charge reservoirs that additionally supply currents to the active devices to prevent momentary drops in supply voltage. In some embodiments, due to the disposition of the decoupling capacitors (e.g., the first and second semiconductor chips 100 and 200), the TIV number can be reduced and therefore the TIV pitch can be increased. The pattern pitch of the first redistribution layer structure RDL1 can be accordingly increased. Therefore, the process window can be broadened and the production cost can be saved.
