Description

PRIORITY STATEMENT

This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0134292 filed on Oct. 6, 2014, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor package according to the inventive concept will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 through 9.

Referring first to FIG. 1, integrated circuits (ICs) 120-1 and 120-2 and first contacts 110 are bonded or attached to a top surface of a printed circuit board (PCB) 100. The first contacts 110 may be solder balls, solder bumps, or copper pads. The ICs 120-1 and 120-2 may be dies or chips. For purposes of description, the ICs 120-1 and 120-2 will be referred to hereinafter as chips. Each of the chips 120-1 and 120-2 may include at least one of a microprocessor, a graphics processor, a signal processor, a network processor, a chip set, an audio codec, an application processor (AP), and a system on chip (SoC).

The first chip 120-1 is bonded or attached to the top surface of the PCB 100 through bumps 121-1 using a flip-chip technique. The second chip 120-2 is also bonded or attached to the top surface of the PCB 100 through bumps 121-2 using a flip-chip technique. When the chips 120-1 and 120-2 are bonded to the top surface of the PCB 100 by the bumps 121-1 and 121-2, respectively, in a flip-chip manner, the active surfaces of the chips 120-1 and 120-2 to which the bumps 121-1 or 121-2 are bonded face the top surface of the PCB 100, and backside surfaces 123 of the chips are opposite the active surfaces.

The PCB 100 may include a plurality of metal layers isolated from each other by one or more dielectric layers. The metal layers may be connected to each other by conductive vias.

Referring to FIG. 2, a mold layer (referred to hereinafter as a “mold”) 130 is formed on the PCB 100. The mold 130 may be an epoxy molding compound (EMC) to protect the chips 120-1 and 120-2 from external forces and conditions.

The mold 130 may have an exposed molded underfill (eMUF) structure. The eMUF structure of the mold 130 is that portion which wraps around the chips 120-1 and 120-2 completely so as to cover all of the sides of the chips 120-1 and 120-2, and exposes the backside surfaces 123 of the chips 120-1 and 120-2 only.

The distance from the PCB 100 to a top surface of the mold 130 may be substantially the same as the distance from the PCB 100 to the backside surfaces 123 of the chip 120-1 and 120-2.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3A, via openings are formed in the mold 130 to expose the first contacts 110. The via openings may be formed using a laser, i.e., by a laser drilling process. The laser may be a CO₂ laser or a green laser but other known types of lasers may be used to conduct the laser drilling process.

Referring to FIG. 3B, at least one first marking ABCDEFG and/or HIJKLMN is inscribed on a marking region MR of the top surface of the mold 130. The at least one first marking ABCDEFG and/or HIJKLMN may be inscribe in the marking region MR using a laser. As shown in FIG. 3B, the marking region MR may include the region of the mold 130 surrounding the chip 120-1. For example, the marking region MR may include respective marking regions MR1 and MR2 on opposite sides the chip 120-1. The first marking ABCDEFG and HIJKLMN may also be inscribed in the marking region MR beside the second chip 120-2.

The via openings in the mold 130 and the at least one first marking ABCDEFG and/or HIJKLMN may be formed at the same time. That is, the via openings in the mold 130 and the at least one first marking ABCDEFG and/or HIJKLMN may be formed during the same stage of the manufacturing process which is a laser etching stage. During this stage, the via openings are formed by drilling into the mold 130 using a laser, i.e., the via openings are laser-drilled openings. Also, during this stage, the at least one first marking ABCDEFG and/or HIJKLMN is inscribed in the marking region MR1 and/or MR2 of the top surface of the mold 130, i.e., is/are laser-etched in the mold 130. The same laser used to form the via openings may be used to form the at least one first marking ABCDEFG and/or HIJKLMN.

In any case, the marking region MR1 and/or MR2 is located between the backside surface 123 of each chip 120-1 or 120-2 and the via openings that expose the first contacts 110 in the mold 130. As described above, the marking(s) may be inscribed simultaneously or in parallel with the laser drilling process. When the mold 130 has the eMUF structure, the marking region MR, e.g., regions MR1 and MR2, may be constituted by a surface of the eMUF structure. For example, the first marking ABCDEFG may be inscribed in the marking region MR1 of the eMUF structure on one side of the chip 120-1 or 120-2 and the first marking HIJKLMN may be inscribed in the marking region MR2 of the eMUF structure on the opposite side of the chip 120-1 or 120-2. Each of the first markings ABCDEFG and HIJKLMN may include information about a manufacturer of the chip 120-1 or 120-2 and product information (identifying the model and/or a characteristic) of the chip 120-1 or 120-2.

Recognition marks MK1 and MK2 may be inscribed in the marking region MR of each of the chips 120-1 and 120-2 to lie along a diagonal of the backside surface 123 in the case in which the backside surface 123 is a quadrilateral. At least one recognition mark MK3 and/or MK4 may also be inscribed in the marking region along the other diagonal of the backside surface 123 and may be located on an opposite end of the marking region MR1 or MR2 from the recognition mark MK1 and/or MK2. The recognition marks MK1 and MK2 (and MK3, MK4 as the case may be) are for used by a pattern recognition system (PRS). They may be used for aligning the chip during a subsequent manufacturing process. The recognition marks may be formed using ink. The first markings and the recognition marks maybe formed simultaneously or sequentially.

In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, first markings ABCDEFG, HIJKLMN, xxxx, and yyyy are inscribed on the marking region MR next to the four sides, respectively, of the backside surface 123. Also, in this example, at least two recognition marks MK1, MK2 (and MK3, MK4) may be formed on the marking region MR. At least two of the recognition marks, e.g., the two recognition marks MK1 and MK2 or the two recognition marks MK3 and MK4 are formed along a diagonal of the backside surface 123.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the first markings ABCDEFG and HIJKLMN are formed on the marking region MR next to two intersecting ones of the four sides of the backside surface 123.

In the examples described above in which the backside surface 123 of each of the chips 120-1 and 120-2 is a polygon and in particular, a quadrilateral, it can be appreciated that a respective first marking may be formed in a marking region MR of the upper surface of the mold near each of at least one of the sides of the backside surface 123. FIGS. 3B and 5 show examples in which first markings are formed in the marking region adjacent only two of the sides of the backside surface 123, respectively, and FIG. 5 shows an example in which four first markings are formed in the marking region adjacent all (four) sides of the backside surface 123, respectively. However, in another example, a first marking is formed in the marking region adjacent one only of the four sides of the backside surface 124, and in still another example a respective first marking is formed in the marking region adjacent each of only three of the sides of the backside surface 123. In the examples in which more than one first marking is formed, the first markings will generally convey different product information from one another.

When two first markings are inscribed in the marking region near two opposite sides of the backside surface, respectively, the markings may spell out words or other information that read in the same direction or in opposite directions. Also, a second marking may be written on or inscribed in the backside surface 123 of each the chips 120-1 and 120-2. The function of the second marking may be similar to that of the first marking.

Referring now to FIG. 6, second contacts 140 are bonded to a bottom surface of the PCB 100. The second contacts 140 may be solder balls or bumps. Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the PCB 100 is sawed or cut to produce semiconductor bottom packages BP, one of which is shown in FIG. 7. Each semiconductor bottom package BP may have an eMUF structure. The chip 120-1 of the bottom package BP is tested in a test process.

Referring to FIG. 8, contacts 155 of a semiconductor package 153, e.g., solder balls, are disposed in contact with the first contacts 110 of the semiconductor bottom package BP exposed through the via openings. For example, the semiconductor package 153 is stacked on the bottom package BP with the contacts 155 inserted into the via openings, respectively. The semiconductor package 153 also comprises a die, i.e., an IC and substrate 150, and passive elements connected to (the IC of) the die. The passive elements may include a resistor, an inductor, and/or a capacitor. Furthermore, the semiconductor package 153 may be a random access memory (RAM), dynamic RAM (DRAM), NAND flash memory including a controller, NOR flash memory, static RAM (SRAM), ferroelectric RAM (FRAM), phase-change RAM (PRAM), magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM), spin-transfer torque RAM (STT-RAM), or resistive RAM (RRAM).

Referring to FIG. 9, the first contacts 110 of the semiconductor bottom package BP are physically and electrically connected to the contacts 155, respectively, of semiconductor package 153 using an infrared (IR) reflow process or other reflow or bonding process. In any case, contacts 161, e.g., vias that electrically connect the bottom package BP to the package 153 are formed in the mold 130.

That is, as a result, a PoP package 200 according to the inventive concept is formed.

FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of a computing system 300 including a semiconductor package according to the inventive concept, and some of its applications. The computing system 300 includes PoP 200 attached to a motherboard or a system board 350 and a display 310. The computing system 300 may also include a camera 320.

The computing system 300 may be that of a cellular phone such as a smart phone 300A, a tablet (personal computer), a mobile internet device (MID), a wearable device, e.g., a smart watch 300B or pair of smart glasses 300C, a laptop computer, or an internet of things (IoT) device or an internet of everything (IoE) device 300D. The computing system 300 may also be that of a desktop computer, a workstation computer, or a server.

A display controller (not shown) of the chip 120-1 of the PoP 200 may transmit display data to the display 310 using a display serial interface (DSI) 301. The camera 320 may transmit image data to a camera interface (not shown) in the chip 120-1 of the PoP 200 using a camera serial interface (CSI) 303. The camera 320 may include a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method of manufacturing a semiconductor package according to the inventive concept. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 11, the chip 120-1 is bonded to the top surface of the PCB 100 in operation S110. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 11, the mold 130 is molded to the chip 120-1 and PCB 100 so as to cover the sides of the chip 120-1 but expose the backside surface 123 of the chip 120-1, in operation 5112.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 11, the via openings are formed in the mold 130 to expose the first contacts 110 and a marking process is performed, in operation S114. The marking process includes inscribing at least one first marking in the marking region MR of the top surface of the mold 130. The marking process may additionally include inscribing at least one pair of recognition marks MK1 and MK2 and/or MK3 and MK4 in the marking region MR.

The at least one pair of recognition marks MK1 and MK2 or MK3 and MK4 can be used to align the semiconductor bottom package BP and the semiconductor package 153, e.g., the top package. In particular, a PRS is able to stack the semiconductor package 153 on the unit semiconductor package BP in exact alignment using the at recognition marks MK1 and MK2 and/or MK3 and MK4.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 11, the contacts (e.g., solder balls) 140 are bonded to (or formed on) the bottom surface of the PCB 110 in operation S116 and the PCB 110 is cut to produce the semiconductor bottom package BP in operation S118. The chip 120-1 of the semiconductor bottom package BP is tested in operation S120. Referring to FIGS. 8, 9, and 11, the semiconductor package 153 is stacked on the semiconductor bottom package BP, and the contacts (e.g., stack vias 161) are formed, to complete the PoP 200 in operation S122.

As described above, according to embodiments of the inventive concept, marking providing product information is inscribed in a surface of a mold (e.g., in an eMUF surface between the backside surface of the chip and stack vias) in a PoP such that the marking is highly visible.
