BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the electronics industry, high integration and multiple functions with high performance become essential for new products. And meanwhile, high integration may cause higher manufacturing cost, since the manufacturing cost is in proportional to its size.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS


FIG. 1A illustrates a diagram of a semiconductor device 100 according to an embodiment of the invention, and FIG. 1B illustrates a top view of the semiconductor device 100 of FIG. 1A.


The semiconductor device 100 includes a substrate 110, a body structure 120, at least one electronic component 130 and a plurality of conductive contacts 140.


The substrate 110 is, for example, a multi-layered careless substrate or a core-based substrate. The substrate 110 includes a plurality of upper pads 111 and a plurality of lower pads 112 electrically connected to the upper pads 111 through vias. The lower pads 112 are electrically connected to the conductive contacts 140, and the upper pads 111 are electrically connected to the body structure 120. The substrate 110 may be electrically connected to an exterior electronic device (not illustrated) through the conductive contacts 140. In addition, the substrate 110 may be formed of by semiconductor materials such as silicon, or organic materials such as bismaleimide triazine (BT), polyimide or Ajinomoto build-up film (ABF).


The body structure 120 is disposed above the substrate 110 and includes at least one semiconductor die 121, a molding compound 122, at least one conductive component 123, a lower redistribution layer (RDL) 124, a upper passivation layer 125 and at least one conductive contact 126.


The semiconductor die 121 may be formed by a silicon wafer, and thus the semiconductor die 121 is a silicon die. The semiconductor die 121 is a die not packaged, for example. In an embodiment, the semiconductor die 121 is, for example, a SOC (System on Chip) and has an active surface 121a facing the RDL 124.


The molding compound 122 may be made of different material from that of the substrate 110. The molding compound 122 encapsulates the semiconductor die 121 and has a lower surface 122b, an upper surface 122u opposite to the lower surface 122b and at least one through hole 122h extending to the upper surface 122u from the lower surface 122b. The conductive components 123 are formed by filling the through holes 122h with conductive material, such as metal.


The molding compound 122 may be formed of an epoxy, a resin, a moldable polymer, or the like. The molding compound 122 may be applied while substantially liquid, and then may be cured through a chemical reaction, such as in an epoxy or resin. In some other embodiments, the molding compound 122 may be an ultraviolet (UV) or thermally cured polymer applied as a gel or malleable solid capable of being disposed around the semiconductor die, and then may be cured through a UV or thermal curing process. The molding compound may be cured with a mold (not shown).


The lower RDL 124 is formed on the lower surface 122b of the molding compound 122, the active surface 121a of the semiconductor die 121 and the conductive components 123 exposed from the lower surface 122b.


The lower RDL 124 extends beyond a lateral surface 121s of the semiconductor die 121 to form a fan-out structure. The lower RDL 124 includes a lower dielectric layer 1241, a lower conductive layer 1242, a lower passivation layer 1243 and at least one conductive contact 1244. In another embodiment, the lower RDL 124 may include more layer structures, such as dielectric layer, conductive layer, etc.


The lower dielectric layer 1241 is formed on the lower surface 122b and has at least one lower opening 1241h exposing the conductive component 123. The lower conductive layer 1242 is formed on the lower dielectric layer 1241 and laterally extends beyond the lateral surface 121s of the semiconductor die 121 to be electrically connected to the conductive components 123 through the lower opening 1241h. The lower passivation layer 1243 covers the lower conductive layer 1242 and has at least one lower opening 1243h exposing the lower conductive layer 1242, and each conductive contact 1244 is formed within the corresponding lower opening 1243h for electrically connected to the lower conductive layer 1242 through the corresponding lower opening 1243h. In addition, the conductive contact 1244 may be solder ball, conductive pillar, conductive bump, etc. Due to the design of the RDL, the conductive contact 1244 may be micro pillar or micro pad, and accordingly I/O contacts of the body structure 120 may be increased, and the size of the semiconductor device 100 can be more compact.


The upper passivation layer 125 covers the upper surface 122u of the molding compound 122 and has at least one upper opening 125h exposing the corresponding conductive component 123. Each conductive contact 126 is formed within the corresponding upper opening 125h to be electrically connected to the corresponding conductive component 123.


Each electronic component 130 has at least one conductive contact 131, and the electronic component 130 is disposed on the upper conductive pad 126 by the conductive contact 131 through a solder 132. The conductive contact 131 is, for example, solder ball, conductive pillar, conductive bump, etc. Since the upper conductive pad 126 projects from an upper surface 125u of the upper passivation layer 125 and provides a large area, it can increase the reliability of the connecting between the upper conductive pad 126 and the conductive contact 131.


The electronic components 130 are disposed above the upper surface 122u of the molding compound 122 and electrically connected to the substrate 110 through the conductive components 123 and the lower RDL 124. In one embodiment, the electronic component 130 is, for example, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) or other suitable memory components. In another embodiment, the electronic component 130 may have the structure similar or the same as that of the semiconductor die 121.


As illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the electronic components 130 do not overlap the semiconductor die 121 in a stack direction of the electronic component 130 and the semiconductor die 121 (that is, up and down). The number of the electronic components 130 may be plural or one. As long as the electronic components 130 can be electrically connected to the conductive components 123, the electronic components 130 may be disposed on any positions of the upper surface 122u of the molding compound 122.

The upper RDL 227 is formed on the upper surface 122u of the molding compound 122 and the conductive components 123 exposed from the upper surface 122u. Due to the upper RDL 227 being formed over the semiconductor die 121, the electronic component 130 can be connected to the upper RDL 227 right above the semiconductor die 121 by way of the electronic component 130 overlapping the semiconductor die 121 up and down.


As illustrated in FIG. 3B, the electronic components 130 overlap the semiconductor die 121 up and down. In another embodiment, one or some of the electronic components 130 may not overlap the semiconductor die 121 while another or the others of the electronic components 130 may overlap the semiconductor die 121 up and down.


The upper RDL 227 can provide fine pitch between the adjacent two upper conductive pads 126, and accordingly a pitch between adjacent two conductive contacts 131 also can be designed as fine pitch. As a result, it provides more input/output contacts in the electronic component 130.


The upper RDL 227 includes an upper dielectric layer 2271, an upper conductive layer 2272, an upper passivation layer 125 and at least one upper conductive pad 126. The upper dielectric layer 2271 is formed on the upper surface 122u and has at least one upper opening 2271h exposing the corresponding conductive component 123. The upper conductive layer 2272 is formed on the upper dielectric layer 2271 to be electrically connected to the conductive component 123 through the corresponding upper opening 2271h. The upper passivation layer 125 covers the upper conductive layer 2272 and has at least one upper opening 125h exposing the upper conductive layer 2272. Each conductive contact 126 is formed within the corresponding upper opening 125h to be electrically connected to the upper conductive layer 2272.

In comparison with the semiconductor device 400, the silicon substrate 421 of the semiconductor device 500 has a shorter length L1 than the length L1 of the silicon substrate 421 of the semiconductor device 400, and accordingly it can reduce the cost of the silicon substrate 421 of semiconductor device 500. In detail, the surrounding component 550 may be made of molding compound material as described above. The molding compound material is cheaper than the silicon wafer, and accordingly it can reduce the cost of the silicon substrate 421 of semiconductor device 500.
