Description of Related Art

In the prior art, when producing a chip-last (or referred to as an RDL first), a circuit layer of a redistribution circuit layer is first produced on a temporary substrate. Next, the redistribution circuit layer needs to be transferred from the original temporary substrate and electrically connected to a second substrate, and debonded with the original temporary substrate. After the board transfer and board removal operations, a composite substrate composed of the redistribution circuit layer and the second substrate can become a product and commodity and undergo electrical testing.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS


FIG. 1A to FIG. 1D are schematic cross-sectional views of a manufacturing method of a package carrier according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Regarding the manufacturing method of the package carrier of the embodiment, first, referring to FIG. 1A, a substrate 10 is provided. The substrate 10 includes a base material 12, a stainless steel layer 14, and a metal layer 16. The base material 12 includes a first part 11 and a second part 13 disposed on the first part 11 and exposing part of the first part 11. Here, the base material 12 is, for example, a glass substrate, and the first part 11 and the second part 13 of the base material 12 are fixed together through an adhesive 15 to form a convex shape. In another embodiment, the first part 11 and the second part 13 may be fixed together by plasma surface modification without using the adhesive 15. The stainless steel layer 14 is located on the base material 12 and conformally covers the base material 12. The stainless steel layer 14 directly contacts and covers the surrounding surface of the base material 12. The material of the stainless steel layer 14 is, for example, SUS 304 or other suitable models, and the thickness of the stainless steel layer 14 is, for example, between 0.05 microns and 1.5 microns. In other words, the stainless steel layer 14 can be regarded as a stainless steel film. The metal layer 16 is formed on the stainless steel layer 14 and conformally covers stainless steel layer 14. The metal layer 16 directly contacts and covers all surfaces of stainless steel layer 14. Here, the metal layer 16 is formed on the stainless steel layer 14 by, for example, electroplating, and the material of the metal layer 16 is, for example, copper, but is not limited thereto.


Next, referring to FIG. 1A again, a plurality of first conductive pillars 110 are formed on the substrate 10. The first conductive pillars 110 correspond to the second part 13 of the base material 12. That is to say, the orthographic projections of the first conductive pillars 110 and the first part 11 will overlap with the orthographic projection of the second part 13 on the first part 11. Here, the first conductive pillars 110 are formed on the metal layer 16 by, for example, electroplating. The materials of the first conductive pillars 110 are, for example, copper, but are not limited thereto.


Next, referring to FIG. 1B again, a package mold plate 120 is formed on the substrate 10. The package mold plate 120 covers the metal layer 16 and exposes an upper surface 111 of each of the first conductive pillars 110. Here, the package mold plate 120 is formed, for example, by compression molding, and the material of the package mold plate 120 is, for example, epoxy molding compound (EMC). The upper surfaces 111 of the first conductive pillars 110 can be flush with a surface 121 of the package mold plate 120 through polishing or laser perforation. In an embodiment, the periphery of the package mold plate 120 may be aligned with the periphery of the substrate 10, but is not limited thereto.


Next, referring to FIG. 1C again, a redistribution circuit layer 130 is provided on the substrate 10. The redistribution circuit layer 130 has a first surface 131 and a second surface 133 opposite to each other, and includes a plurality of redistribution circuits 132, a plurality of conductive vias 134, a plurality of dielectric layers 136, and a plurality of output pads 138. The redistribution circuits 132 and the dielectric layers 136 are alternately stacked, and the conductive vias 134 are electrically connected to two adjacent redistribution circuits 132. The conductive vias 134 are flush with the first surface 131, and part of the conductive vias 134 are electrically connected to each of the first conductive pillars 110 respectively. The output pads 138 protrude from the second surface 133. Here, the line width of each of the redistribution circuits 132 is, for example, greater than or equal to 0.5 microns and less than or equal to 30 microns. A thickness T2 of the redistribution circuit layer 130 is less than a thickness T1 of the package mold plate 120. In particular, the thickness of the edge region of the package mold plate 120 can provide mechanical stability, so that the redistribution circuit layer 130 attached to it on all four sides will not be deformed, thereby effectively supporting the redistribution circuit layer 130. In an embodiment, the thickness T1 of the package mold plate 120 is, for example, greater than or equal to 100 microns and less than or equal to 600 microns.


Next, referring to FIG. 1C again, a solder mask 140 is formed on the second surface 133 of the redistribution circuit layer 130. The solder mask 140 exposes part of the output pads 138.


Next, referring to FIG. 1C and FIG. 1D at the same time, the substrate 10 is removed by separating the board and etching off the copper, so that the middle region of the package mold plate 120 has a recess 125. The recess 125 exposes the first conductive pillars 110. Here, the first conductive pillars 110 pass through part of the package mold plate 120 located in the middle region, and the depth of the recess 125 is approximately equal to the thickness of the second part 13 of the base material 12. At this point, the production of a package carrier 100a has been completed.


Structurally, referring to FIG. 1D again, the package carrier 100a of the embodiment includes the redistribution circuit layer 130, the first conductive pillars 110, and the package mold plate 120. The redistribution circuit layer 130 has the first surface 131 and the second surface 133 opposite to each other and includes the redistribution circuits 132, the conductive vias 134, the dielectric layers 136, and the output pads 138. The redistribution circuits 132 and the dielectric layers 136 are alternately stacked, and the conductive vias 134 are electrically connected to two adjacent redistribution circuits 132. The line width of each of the redistribution circuits 132 is, for example, greater than or equal to 0.5 microns and less than or equal to 30 microns. The conductive vias 134 are flush with the first surface 131, and the output pads 138 protrude from the second surface 133. The first conductive pillars 110 are flush with the first surface 131 of the redistribution circuit layer 130 and electrically connected to part of the conductive vias 134. The package mold plate 120 is disposed on the first surface 131 of the redistribution circuit layer 130 and has the recess 125 in the middle region of the package mold plate 120. The recess 125 exposes the first conductive pillars 110. The first conductive pillars 110 pass through part of the package mold plate 120 located in the middle region, and the thickness T1 of the edge region of the package mold plate 120 can provide mechanical stability, so that the redistribution circuit layer 130 attached to it on all four sides will not be deformed. The thickness T1 of the package mold plate 120 is, for example, greater than or equal to 100 microns and less than or equal to 600 microns. In addition, the package carrier 100a further includes the solder mask 140, which is disposed on the second surface 133 of the redistribution circuit layer 130 and exposes part of the output pads 138.


In short, the thickness T1 of the edge region of the package mold plate 120 can provide mechanical stability, so that the redistribution circuit layer 130 attached to it on all four sides will not be deformed, and the recess 125 in the middle region of the package mold plate 120 can expose the first conductive pillars 110 that are electrically connected to the redistribution circuit layer 130. In this way, by disposing the package mold plate 120, not only the structural strength of the overall package carrier 100a can be increased, but also the first conductive pillars 110 exposed by the recess 125 and the output pads 138 can be electrically tested at the same time, thus improving the electrical defects detections of the package carrier 100a and reducing the logistics and inventory costs of electrical test yield losses after chip placement production. In addition, in the manufacturing method of the package carrier 100a of the embodiment, the removed base material 12 can be reusable, which can significantly reduce the manufacturing cost.



FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a chip package structure according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 2, a chip package structure 200a of the embodiment includes a circuit board 210, the package carrier 100a of FIG. 1D, and a chip 220. The package carrier 100a is disposed on the circuit board 210 and electrically connected to the circuit board 210. The chip 220 is disposed in the recess 125 of the package mold plate 120 and electrically connected to the first conductive pillars 110.


Specifically, in the embodiment, the chip package structure 200a also includes a plurality of solder balls 230 and an underfill 235. The solder balls 230 are disposed between the circuit board 210 and the package carrier 100a. The output pads 138 of the redistribution circuit layer 130 are electrically connected to the circuit board 210 through the solder balls 230. The underfill 235 is filled between the circuit board 210 and the package carrier 100a and covers the solder balls 230. Furthermore, the chip package structure 200a further includes an underfill 225, which is filled between the recess 125 of the package mold plate 120 and the chip 220 and covers the first conductive pillars 110. The chip 220 is fixed in the recess 125 through the underfill 225. In addition, the chip package structure 200a may further include a plurality of solder balls 240, which are disposed on a side of the circuit board 210 relatively away from the package carrier 100a for electrical connection with external circuits.


Since the chip 220 of the embodiment is disposed in the recess 125 of the package mold plate 120 and electrically connected to the first conductive pillars 110, it is not necessary to add external mold to seal the chip 220, and the package thickness of the overall chip package structure 200a can also be reduced. In addition, since the package carrier 100a can be electrically tested before packaging, the chip package structure 200a can have a better package yield after the chip 220 is packaged.

Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 3A at the same time, the manufacturing method of the package carrier of the embodiment is similar to the manufacturing method of the package carrier mentioned above.

The second conductive pillars 115 may correspond to the first part 11 exposed by the second part 13 of the base material 12. That is to say, the second conductive pillars 115 are formed on the first part 11, and the orthographic projections of the second conductive pillars 115 on the first part 11 do not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second part 13 on the first part 11. Afterwards, after continuing the manufacturing steps of FIG. 1B to FIG. 1D, a package carrier 100b in FIG. 3B can be obtained.



FIG. 3B is a schematic cross-sectional view of a chip package structure according to another embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3B at the same time, a chip package structure 200b of the embodiment is similar to the above-mentioned chip package structure 200a. The difference between the two lies in that: in the embodiment, the package carrier 100b further includes the plurality of second conductive pillars 115 that penetrate the package mold plate 120 and are electrically connected to the conductive vias 134 of the redistribution circuit layer 130. Furthermore, the chip package structure 200b of the embodiment also includes a POP component 250, a plurality of solder balls 260, and an underfill 255. The POP component 250 is disposed on the package carrier 100b and electrically connected to the second conductive pillars 115. The chip 220 is located between the POP component 250 and the circuit board 210. The solder balls 260 are disposed between the POP component 250 and the second conductive pillars 115, and the POP component 250 is electrically connected to the second conductive pillars 115 through the solder balls 260.

FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B are schematic cross-sectional views showing some steps of a manufacturing method of a package carrier according to another embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 4A at the same time, the manufacturing method of the package carrier of the embodiment is similar to the manufacturing method of the package carrier mentioned above. The difference between the two lies in that: in the embodiment, a substrate 20 includes a base material 22, a stainless steel layer 24, and a metal layer 26. The base material 22 includes a first part 21 and two second parts 23 and 25 disposed on two opposite sides of the first part 21 and respectively exposing part of the first part 21. The stainless steel layer 24 is located on the base material 22 and conformally covers the base material 22.

Next, the steps of FIG. 1B to FIG. 1C are sequentially performed on the two opposite sides of the substrate 20. Referring to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B at the same time, after completing the step of FIG. 1C, that is, after providing the redistribution circuit layer 130 and forming the solder mask 140, the metal layer 26 and the stainless steel layer 24 are separated by dismantling the board. Afterwards, the metal layer 26 on the package mold plate 120 can be removed by stripping copper to remove the substrate 20, thus forming two package carriers 100b shown in FIG. 3B, which can effectively increase the production capacity. In addition, the removed base material 22 can be reusable, which can effectively reduce the material cost.


To sum up, in the design of the package carrier of the disclosure, the thickness of the edge region of the package mold plate can provide mechanical stability, so that the redistribution circuit layer attached to it on all four sides will not be deformed, and the recess in the middle region of the package mold plate can expose the first conductive pillars electrically connected to the redistribution circuit layer. In this way, by disposing the package mold plate, not only the structural strength of the overall package carrier can be increased, but also the first conductive pillars exposed by the recess and the output pads can be electrically tested at the same time, thus improving the electrical reliability of the package carrier. Furthermore, when the chip is subsequently assembled on the package carrier, since the chip is located in the recess and electrically connected to the first conductive pillars, the package thickness of the overall chip package structure can be reduced and a better package yield can be achieved. In addition, in the manufacturing method of the package carrier of the embodiment, the removed base material can be reusable, which can significantly reduce the manufacturing cost.
