1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to semiconductor manufacturing technology, and particularly relates to an effective technology in the application to the improvement in a mountability of a semiconductor device.
2. Description of the Background Art
A printed circuit board has a circuit pattern and an insulating substrate which has a land connected with the circuit pattern and for joining a solder ball and a solder resist layer in which a hole for junction for solder ball junction for exposing a part of this land was formed. In a certain diametral direction of the land, the both ends of the land have formed an interval part between them and the surface of a wall of the hole for junction (for example, refer to Patent Reference 1).
The connection structure of a semiconductor integrated circuit element and a wiring substrate is the structure of a pad which has a lead-out pattern which was covered by the resist and surrounded by non-conductive space in the outer edge on the surface of a printed-circuit board, and increases the junction area between it and the printed-circuit board (for example, refer to Patent Reference 2).

For example, the semiconductor device built into memory cards, such as SD (Secure Digital) (there is a standard standardized at the SD card association) and a memory stick card, requires the thin shape. There are some into which the semiconductor device which has a controller chip, and the semiconductor device which has a memory chip are built in memory cards. Since the memory needs to increase the capacity in the case, a memory chip may be laminated in many stages, but the package thickness also becomes thick by that part.
Therefore, as a form of the semiconductor device built into a memory card, the LGA (Land Grid Array) whose thickness is thinner than BGA (Ball Grid Array) and CSP (Chip Size Package) which includes equivalent size mostly with chip size is more effective. BGA and CSP are mounted on a mother board by using as an external terminal the ball electrode formed on the land. The height from the front surface of a land to the peak in the solder coat formed by the ball supplying method is larger than 100□m, and the JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council standards) standard of a BGA type package or a CSP type package is satisfied. On the other hand, since LGA is mounted on a mother board using a land as an external terminal, it is possible to make thin the thickness of the semiconductor device by the part which does not use a ball electrode. However, since the external terminal is a land, the mounting strength of LGA is low. There is a semiconductor device which ships by making the coat of the solder to each land beforehand as measures which improve the mounting strength of LGA.
The technology called NSMD (Non Solder Mask Defined) is known as a technology of the land structure which improves the bond strength of the land of a substrate, and solder. In NSMD, since the front surface and the side face of a land are exposed to opening of the resist, therefore solder turns also to the side face of the land, the bond strength of a land and solder can be raised.
As a result, in LGA, in order to improve the mountability, the solder coat to a land and adopting NSMD as a land structure are preferred.
It is more desirable to adopt not the ball supplying method but the printing method in LGA included in a memory card in performing a solder coat to the land. In the case-of a small solder ball (for example, the small solder ball less than diameter 100□m), as this reason, it is easy to be influenced by static electricity since it is light, and it is difficult to treat since it is hard to separate from a jig, adhering to a jig.
However, the printing method has little amount of supply of solder as compared with the ball supplying method. When there is much amount of supply of solder, even if the variation in the height of some solder will occur, also in the land on which the height of solder was formed low, the coat of the amount of solder of the grade which can secure mounting strength with a mother board is made. On the other hand, when there was too little amount of supply of solder and the variation in the height of solder occurs, in the land on which the height of solder was formed low, the coat of the amount of solder of the grade which can secure mounting strength with a mother board is not made. In other words, since it is preferred to make the coat only of the amount of a grade which can secure mounting strength as to the amount of supply of the solder used in order to improve mounting strength since it is wanted to make thickness of a semiconductor device as thin as possible in the case of the semiconductor device built into a memory card, even if slight height variations occur, it becomes lowering of mounting reliability.
In LGA which adopted NSMD structure, although the wiring for taking out is connected to each land, when a number which is different like 1 or 2 is intermingled for every land in the number of these wirings for taking out, the areas of solder which wet and spread will differ for every land, and, as a result, the problem that variation occurs in the height of solder will arise.
The problem that solder is pulled to the wiring-for-taking-out side on a land, and the location of the peak of a solder coat shifts from near the center of the land arises. When the location of the peak of solder shifts according to the direction of taking out of a wiring, it is a problem at the time of testing in the screening step of a semiconductor device (LGA) to cause a contact failure with the terminal of a socket.
In the Patent Reference 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 9-232736) and Patent Reference 2 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-31630), the description which was conscious of the thin shape of the semiconductor device, and the description about LGA are not found.

The structure of LGA 7 is explained. Package substrate (wiring substrate) 3 which has main surface 3a, back surface 3b opposite to main surface 3a, a plurality of lands 3d formed on back surface 3b, and a plurality of wirings connected to each of the lands 3d, semiconductor chip 1 mounted on main surface 3a of package substrate 3, a plurality of wires (conductive member) 4 which electrically connect package substrate 3 and semiconductor chip 1, and sealing body 6 which makes the resin seal of the semiconductor chip 1 are included.
Since LGA 7 is incorporated as a memory device in memory card 8, semiconductor chip 1 built in LGA 7 is laminated to many stages according to the capacity needed while being the memory chip provided with the memory circuit. LGA 7 shown in

That is, as shown in
As for the spatial relationship of a plurality of wirings connected to each land 3d, they are arranged so that the arrangement angle of the mutual wiring is 360°/the number of connection wirings. Since the number of wirings connected to each land 3d is two in the case of this Embodiment, it becomes 360°/2=180° and taking-out wiring 3i and dummy wiring 3j are arranged in all the lands 3d mutually in the location of 180° symmetry.
Taking-out wiring 3i is a wiring connected with the wiring of a signal system, GND, or a power source, for example. On the other hand, dummy wiring 3j is a non connection wiring, or a wiring connected with adjacent land 3d.
In LGA 7, the number of wirings connected to each of all the lands 3d which were formed on back surface 3b of package substrate 3 is the same number. That is, in all the lands 3d, the wirings connected have become two, taking-out wiring 3i and dummy wiring 3j, and unification of the number of taking out of a wiring of each land 3d is aimed at in package substrate 3.
In LGA 7 of this Embodiment, as shown in
Each land 3d of package substrate 3, and the wiring of taking-out wiring 3i, dummy wiring 3j, etc. which is connected to this include copper alloy, for example.
Semiconductor chip 1 is formed of silicon etc., for example, and an integrated circuit is formed in the main surface 1a. Wire 4 which electrically connects semiconductor chip 1, and electrodes 3h for bonding of package substrate 3 is a gold wire, for example.
Sealing body 6 which makes the resin seal of semiconductor chip 1 and a plurality of wires 4 is formed of thermosetting epoxy resin etc., for example.
Next, the semiconductor device shown in
Here,
As shown in
Next,
Next, the manufacturing method of LGA 7 of this Embodiment is explained.
First, package substrate 3 having a plurality of lands 3d to which taking-out wiring 3i and dummy wiring 3j arranged mutually in the location of 180° symmetry are connected, and which are NSMD structure at the back surface 3b is prepared.
Then, semiconductor chip 1 of the first stage is mounted via die bond material 2 on main surface 3a of package substrate 3. Then, semiconductor chip 1 of the second stage is mounted via die bond material 2 on semiconductor chip 1 of the first stage.
Then, semiconductor chip 1 of the first stage and electrodes 3h for bonding of package substrate 3 are electrically connected with wire 4, and semiconductor chip 1 of the second stage and electrodes 3h for bonding of package substrate 3 are electrically further connected with wire 4.
Then, a resin seal is performed and sealing body 6 is formed. That is, it is considered as the mold completion which makes the resin seal of semiconductor chip 1 and a plurality of wires 4, and is shown in
Then, solder printing of
Then, soldering paste 15 is applied on each land 3d by squeegee 14 on printing mask 13. That is, soldering paste 15 is applied on each land 3d, embedding soldering paste 15 in opening 13a of printing mask 13 by squeegee 14.
This becomes solder printing completion, as shown in
Then, the heat treatment shown in
According to the manufacturing method of LGA 7 of this Embodiment, after a LGA assembly, by printing solder with a printing method to each land 3d, using package substrate 3 which has a plurality of lands 3d of NSMD structure, and taking-out wiring 3i and dummy wiring 3j which are connected to each land 3d, and have been arranged mutually in the location of 180° symmetry, the area of the wetting breadth of the solder between lands can be made the same since the number of taking-out wiring from land 3d is unified to two.
Hereby, the variation in the height of solder coat 5 between lands can be reduced.
As a result, improvement in the mountability of LGA (semiconductor device) 7 can be aimed at.
That is, improvement in the mountability can be aimed at in LGA (semiconductor device) 7 for memory card 8 mounting which raised soldering connection strength by making each land 3d into NSMD structure while suppressing package height by making the height of solder coat 5 formed on a plurality of lands 3d into 100□m or less.
Since the solder on land 3d is pulled by opposite both directions almost uniformly corresponding to the directions of taking-out wiring 3i and dummy wiring 3j which have been arranged in the location of 180° symmetry by arranging taking-out wiring 3i and dummy wiring 3j which are connected to each land 3d mutually in a location of 180° symmetry, the location of the peak of solder can be arranged to the mostly central part of land 3d. Hereby, a location drift of solder coat 5 between lands can be reduced.
As a result, the generation of contact failure of solder coat 5 of LGA 7 and the terminal of a socket at the time of testing in a screening step can be prevented, and improvement in the mountability of LGA 7 can be aimed at.
By arranging taking-out wiring 3i and dummy wiring 3j which are connected to land 3d mutually in a location of 180° symmetry, the stress concerning the taking out portion of the wiring in land 3d after mounting LGA 7 on a mounting substrate can be dispersed and decreased.
As a result, the generation of disconnection in the taking out portion of a wiring in land 3d can be prevented, and improvement in the mountability of LGA 7 can be aimed at.
Next, the modification of this Embodiment shown in
The modification shown in
First, in the modification shown in
Among these, in LGA 17 of the modification shown in
In LGA 18 of the modification shown in
As described above, since semiconductor chip 1 and package substrate 3 are formed with different materials, respectively, a difference generates also in these coefficients of thermal expansion. However, by connecting taking-out wiring 3i and dummy wiring 3j to a plurality of lands 3d arranged in the location corresponding to the edge part of main surface 1a of semiconductor chip 1, when the stress in a chip end portion generated with the difference of the coefficient of thermal expansion of semiconductor chip 1, and the resin for sealing and a substrate is given to land 3d in a heat cycle test etc., the stress applied to land 3d can be dispersed and decreased.
As a result, the generation of disconnection in the taking out portion of a wiring in this land 3d can be prevented.
In the modification shown in
Among these, in LGA 19 of the modification shown in
In LGA 20 of the modification shown in
The stress generated when package substrate 3 deforms (warp) by thermal contraction etc. becomes higher, as it separates (distant location) from the center of package substrate 3. However, by connecting taking-out wiring 3i and dummy wiring 3j only to land 3d arranged near the corner part of the outermost periphery in land arrangement, the stress applied to land 3d near the corner part of the outermost periphery in the land arrangement of package substrate 3 can be dispersed and decreased.
As a result, the generation of disconnection in the taking out portion of a wiring in this land 3d can be prevented.
Next, the modification shown in
Namely, since the arrangement is performed so that the arrangement angle of the mutual wiring is 360°/the number of connection wirings as to the spatial relationship of a plurality of wirings connected to land 3d in the semiconductor device of this Embodiment, what is necessary is to form dummy wiring 3j at an angle of 120° in land 3d, it becoming 360°/3=120° when the number of wirings connected to land 3d is three.
Thus, even when dummy wiring 3j is formed at an angle of 120°, the same effect as the case of forming in a location of 180° symmetry can be acquired.
In the foregoing, the present invention accomplished by the present inventors is concretely explained based on above embodiments, but the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments, but variations and modifications may be made, of course, in various ways in the limit that does not deviate from the gist of the invention.
For example, in the Embodiment, in LGA (semiconductor device), although the case where the numbers of laminations of semiconductor chip 1 were two stages and four stages was taken up and explained to the example, semiconductor chip 1 may be one stage of mounting, or may be two or more stages of laminations except two stages and four stages.
The number of wirings connected to land 3d should just be plural of two or more, in the case, dummy wiring 3j does not necessarily need to be included, for example, all wirings connected to land 3d may be taking-out wiring 3i.
The present invention is suitable for the semiconductor device which performs solder coating, and its manufacturing technology.
