The disclosure relates to a packaging device and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly to a packaging device and a manufacturing method thereof capable of improving yield.
The electronic device or the splicing electronic device are widely applied to different fields such as communication, display, automobile, or aviation. With the rapid development of the electronic device, the electronic device is being developed toward being lighter and thinner, so the reliability or quality requirements of the electronic device are higher.
The disclosure provides a packaging device and a manufacturing method thereof, which can improve yield.
According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a packaging device includes an electronic unit, a conductive block, and a packaging layer. The conductive block is electrically connected to the electronic unit and has a first side surface. The packaging layer surrounds the electronic unit and the conductive block. A roughness of the first side surface is greater than a roughness of the second side surface of the packaging layer.
According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a manufacturing method of a packaging device includes the following steps. A carrier is provided. A conductive block is disposed on the carrier. The conductive block has a first side surface. An electronic unit is disposed on the carrier. A packaging layer is formed on the carrier, so that the packaging layer surrounds the electronic unit and the conductive block. The carrier is removed.
The drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the disclosure, and the drawings are incorporated into the specification and constitute a part of the specification. The drawings illustrate embodiments of the disclosure and serve to explain principles of the disclosure together with the description.
The disclosure can be understood by referring to the following detailed description in conjunction with the drawings. It should be noted that in order to facilitate the understanding of the reader and the brevity of the drawings, multiple drawings in the disclosure only depict a part of an electronic device, and specific elements in the drawings are not drawn according to actual scale. In addition, the number and the size of each element in the drawings are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.
In the following specification and claims, terms such as “containing” and “including” are open-ended terms, so the terms should be interpreted as “containing but not limited to . . . ”.
It should be understood that when an element or a film layer is referred to as being “on” or “connected to” another element or film layer, the element or the film layer may be directly on the other element or film layer or directly connected to the other element or film layer, or there may be an element or a film layer inserted between the two (indirect case). In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” or “directly connected to” another element or film layer, there is no element or film layer inserted between the two.
Although the terms first, second, third . . . may be used to describe various constituent elements, the constituent elements are not limited by the terms. The terms are only used to distinguish a single constituent element from other constituent elements in the specification. The same terms may not be used in the claims, but replaced by first, second, third . . . according to the order in which the elements are declared in the claims. Therefore, in the following specification, a first constituent element may be a second constituent element in the claims.
As used herein, the terms “about”, “approximately”, “substantially”, and “roughly” generally indicate within 10%, within 5%, within 3%, within 2%, within 1%, or within 0.5% of a given value or range. The number given here is an approximate number, that is, in the case where “about”, “approximately”, “substantially”, or “roughly” is not specifically stated, the meaning of “about”, “approximately”, “substantially”, or “roughly” may still be implied.
In some embodiments of the disclosure, terms related to bonding and connection, such as “connection” and “interconnection”, unless otherwise defined, may refer to that two structures are directly in contact or may also refer to that two structures are not directly in contact, wherein there is another structure disposed between the two structures. Also, the terms related to bonding and connection may further include the case where the two structures are both movable or the two structures are both fixed. Furthermore, the term “coupling” includes any direct or indirect electrical connection means.
In some embodiments of the disclosure, an optical microscope (OM), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), an α-step film thickness profiler, an ellipsometer, or other suitable manners may be used to measure the area, width, thickness, or height of each element or the distance or spacing between the elements. In detail, according to some embodiments, a scanning electron microscope may be used to obtain a cross-sectional structural image including an element to be measured and measure the area, width, thickness, or height of each element or the distance or spacing between the elements.
In some embodiments of the disclosure, directional terms such as “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “back”, “left”, and “right” mentioned herein are only used for reference to the directions of the drawings. Therefore, the directional terms are used to illustrate, but not to limit, the disclosure.
In the disclosure, roughness judgment may be defined with SEM observation. On a concave-convex surface, it can be seen that there is a distance difference of 0.15 micrometers (μm) to 1 μm between peaks and valleys of surface undulations. The measurement of the roughness judgment may include observing the condition of the surface undulations at the same appropriate magnification using the SEM, a transmission electron microscope (TEM), etc., and comparing the undulation conditions through taking samples per unit length (for example, 10 μm), which is the roughness range. Here, “appropriate magnification” means that at least one surface has a roughness (Rz) or an average roughness (Ra) of at least 10 undulating peaks that can be seen under the field of view of such a magnification.
As used herein, the terms “film” and/or “layer” may refer to any continuous or discontinuous structure and material (such as a material deposited by a method disclosed herein). For example, the film and/or the layer may include a two-dimensional material, a three-dimensional material, nanoparticles, or even a partial or complete molecular layer, a partial or complete atomic layer, or atom and/or molecule clusters. The film or the layer may include a material or a layer having pinholes, which may be at least partially continuous.

In summary, in the packaging device and the manufacturing method thereof according to the embodiments of the disclosure, the conductive block is disposed to replace the via in the conventional packaging device, thereby reducing issues such as difficulty in drilling or poor electroplating effect due to the thickness of the packaging layer being too thick, thereby improving yield. Since the roughness of the first side surface of the conductive block may be greater than the roughness of the side surface of the packaging layer, the probability of being easily separated in subsequent processes due to the difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the conductive block and the insulation layer may be reduced or the bonding strength between the conductive block and the insulation layer may be improved.
Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate, but not to limit, the technical solutions of the disclosure. Although the disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, persons skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the above embodiments may still be modified or some or all of the technical features thereof may be equivalently replaced.
