The substrate 10 may be, for example, a printed circuit board (PCB), such as a paper-based copper foil laminate, a composite copper foil laminate, a polymer-impregnated glass-fiber-based copper foil laminate, or a combination of two or more thereof. The substrate 10 may include an interconnection structure 10r, such as a redistribution layer (RDL). The substrate 10 has a top surface 101 (also referred to as “first surface”) and a bottom surface 102 (also referred to as “second surface”) opposite to the top surface 101. One or more electrical contacts 10b are disposed on the bottom surface 102 of the substrate 10 and electrically connected to the top surface 101 of the substrate 10 through the interconnection structure 10r. In some embodiments, the electrical contacts 10b are Controlled Collapse Chip Connection (C4) bumps, solder balls, Land Grid Array (LGA), or a combination of two or more thereof.
The electrical component 11 is disposed on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10. The electrical component 11 has an active surface 111 facing toward the top surface 101 of the substrate 10, a back surface 112 (also referred to as backside) opposite to the active surface 111 and a lateral surface 113 extending between the active surface 111 and the back surface 112. The electrical component 11 may include a semiconductor substrate, one or more integrated circuit devices and one or more overlying interconnection structures therein. The integrated circuit devices may include active devices such as transistors and/or passive devices such resistors, capacitors, inductors, or a combination of two or more thereof.
The package body 12 is disposed on the top surface 101 of the substrate 10 and covers the top surface 101 of the substrate 10 and a portion of the electrical component 11. The back surface 112 of the electrical component 11 is exposed from the package body 12. In some embodiments, a portion of the lateral surface 113 of the electrical component 11 is exposed from the package body 12. Alternatively, the lateral surface 113 of the electrical component 11 may be completely covered by the package body 12. In some embodiments, the package body 12 includes an epoxy resin having fillers, a molding compound (e.g., an epoxy molding compound or other molding compound), a polyimide, a phenolic compound or material, a material with a silicone dispersed therein, or a combination of two or more thereof.
The back surface 112 of the electrical component 11 has a first portion 11A and a second portion 11B surrounding the first portion 11A. In some embodiments, the first portion 11A may be a central portion of the back surface 112 of the electrical component 11 and the second portion 11B may be the edges of the back surface 112 of the electrical component 11.
As shown in
In some embodiments, an interface between the electrical component 11 and the package body 12 is substantially coplanar with or lower than the second portion 11B of the back surface 112 of the electrical component 11 to avoid cracking at the edge of the top surface 112 of the electrical component 11. In some embodiments, the first portion 11A of the back surface 112 of the electrical component 11 is not coplanar with the second portion 11B of the back surface 112 of the electrical component 11. For example, the first portion 11A of the back surface 112 of the electrical component 11 can be higher than, substantially coplanar with or lower than an interface between the electrical component 11 and the package body 12 depending on various arrangements of different embodiments.
As shown in
By forming nanopillars 11p on the back surface 112 of the electrical component 11 that is exposed from the package body 12, the performance of the heat dispassion of the electrical component 11 can be improved. In addition, since no heat sink is included in the semiconductor package device 1, the manufacturing cost and the thickness of the semiconductor package device 1 can be reduced.

As used herein, a dimension of an object being in “nanoscale” or “nanoscopic scale” means the dimension of the object is from 1 nanometer (nm) to 100 nm, such as from 1 nm to 50 nm, or from 1 nm to 10 nm.
As used herein, the terms “approximately,” “substantially,” “substantial” and “about” are used to describe and account for small variations. When used in conjunction with an event or circumstance, the terms can refer to instances in which the event or circumstance occurs precisely as well as instances in which the event or circumstance occurs to a close approximation. For example, when used in conjunction with a numerical value, the terms can refer to a range of variation less than or equal to ±10% of that numerical value, such as less than or equal to ±5%, less than or equal to ±4%, less than or equal to ±3%, less than or equal to ±2%, less than or equal to ±1%, less than or equal to ±0.5%, less than or equal to ±0.1%, or less than or equal to ±0.05%. For example, two numerical values can be deemed to be “substantially” or “about” the same if a difference between the values is less than or equal to ±10% of an average of the values, such as less than or equal to ±5%, less than or equal to ±4%, less than or equal to ±3%, less than or equal to ±2%, less than or equal to ±1%, less than or equal to ±0.5%, less than or equal to ±0.1%, or less than or equal to ±0.05%. For example, “substantially” parallel can refer to a range of angular variation relative to 0° that is less than or equal to ±10°, such as less than or equal to ±5°, less than or equal to ±4°, less than or equal to ±3°, less than or equal to ±2°, less than or equal to ±1°, less than or equal to ±0.5°, less than or equal to ±0.1°, or less than or equal to ±0.05°. For example, “substantially” perpendicular can refer to a range of angular variation relative to 90° that is less than or equal to ±10°, such as less than or equal to ±5°, less than or equal to ±4°, less than or equal to ±3°, less than or equal to ±2°, less than or equal to ±1°, less than or equal to ±0.5°, less than or equal to ±0.1°, or less than or equal to ±0.05°.
Two surfaces can be deemed to be coplanar or substantially coplanar if a displacement between the two surfaces is no greater than 5 μm, no greater than 2 μm, no greater than 1 μm, or no greater than 0.5 μm.
As used herein, the terms “conductive,” “electrically conductive” and “electrical conductivity” refer to an ability to transport an electric current. Electrically conductive materials typically indicate those materials that exhibit little or no opposition to the flow of an electric current. One measure of electrical conductivity is Siemens per meter (S/m). Typically, an electrically conductive material is one having a conductivity greater than approximately 104 S/m, such as at least 105 S/m or at least 106 S/m. The electrical conductivity of a material can sometimes vary with temperature. Unless otherwise specified, the electrical conductivity of a material is measured at room temperature.
As used herein, the singular terms “a,” “an,” and “the” may include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In the description of some embodiments, a component provided “on” or “over” another component can encompass cases where the former component is directly on (e.g., in physical contact with) the latter component, as well as cases where one or more intervening components are located between the former component and the latter component.
While the present disclosure has been described and illustrated with reference to specific embodiments thereof, these descriptions and illustrations do not limit the present disclosure. It can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made, and equivalent components may be substituted within the embodiments without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims. The illustrations may not necessarily be drawn to scale. There may be distinctions between the artistic renditions in the present disclosure and the actual apparatus, due to variables in manufacturing processes and such. There may be other embodiments of the present disclosure which are not specifically illustrated. The specification and drawings are to be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive. Modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation, material, composition of matter, method, or process to the objective, spirit and scope of the present disclosure. All such modifications are intended to be within the scope of the claims appended hereto. While the methods disclosed herein have been described with reference to particular operations performed in a particular order, it can be understood that these operations may be combined, sub-divided, or re-ordered to form an equivalent method without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure. Therefore, unless specifically indicated herein, the order and grouping of the operations are not limitations of the present disclosure.
