FIG. 1 is a plan view illustrating a semiconductor package 100 according to example embodiments. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II′ of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view illustrating a base substrate illustrated in FIG. 2.


Referring to FIGS. 1 through 3, in example embodiments, the semiconductor package 100 may include a base substrate 20 on which first semiconductor chips 31 through 38 and a second semiconductor chip 60 are mounted. The base substrate 20 may include a substrate part 1 having a first surface 1a and a second surface 1b opposite to the first surface 1a, and a support part 9 disposed on the first surface 1a of the substrate part 1. The support part 9 has an area smaller than that of the substrate part 1. As shown in the plan view of FIG. 1, the support part 9 may have a rectangular closed shape. Although example embodiments depict the support part 9 as being rectangular shaped, example embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, the support part 9 may be circular or curved shaped. The support part 9 may be considered as a protrusion extending from the first surface 1a. In the alternative, when viewed from the top surface of the support part 9, the first surface 1a of the substrate part 1 close to the lateral sides of the support part 9 may be considered as a recess. Edge inner terminals 3a and 3b (examples of first connection terminals), and second chip inner terminals 5 may be disposed on the first surface 1a of the substrate part 1. The edge inner terminals 3a and 3b may include first edge inner terminals 3a and second edge inner terminals 3b that are disposed on mutually facing edges, respectively. External terminals 7 (examples of second connection terminals) may be disposed on the second surface 1b of the substrate part 1. The edge inner terminals 3a and 3b, the second chip inner terminals 5, and the external terminals 7 may be disposed on the first and second surfaces 1a and 1b of the substrate part 1 or may be electrically connected to circuit patterns (not shown) disposed in the substrate part 1. In the case where the circuit patterns (not shown) are disposed on the first surface 1a, the circuit patterns may be located between the substrate part 1 and the support part 9.


The substrate part 1 and the support part 9 may be formed of a bismaleimide triazine resin, an alumina-containing ceramic material, or a glass-containing ceramic material. The support part 9 may be fixed to the substrate part 1 by fusing.


The front side and lateral sides of the support part 9 and the first surface 1a of the substrate part 1 may be covered with a first insulating film 11. The first insulating film 11 may also cover circuit patterns disposed on the first surface 1a. The first insulating film 11 may cover the edge inner terminals 3a and 3b and the second chip inner terminals 5 in a manner such that the front sides of the edge inner terminals 3a and 3b and the second chip inner terminals 5 are partially exposed. The second surface 1b of the substrate part 1 may be covered with a second insulating film 13. The second insulating film 13 may cover the external terminals 7 in a manner such that the front sides of the external terminals 7 are partially exposed. The first and second insulating films 11 and 13 may be photoresist films. As described above, the base substrate 20 of example embodiments may have an integrally formed protrusion. That is, the topside of the base substrate 20 may have a height difference. The base substrate 20 may be fabricated by a low-temperature co-firing ceramic process or a high-temperature co-firing ceramic process. Also, the base substrate 20 may be formed using a process of fabricating a resin printed circuit board.


Referring again to FIGS. 1 through 3, the support part 9 may have a rectangular shape with a central void. The first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may be stacked on the support part 9. A first adhesive film 40 may be disposed on the backside of each of the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38. The first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may be connected to the edge inner terminals 3a and 3b of the base substrate 20 by wire bonding. To prevent or reduce wire sweeping, the first semiconductor chips 31 to 34 from the lowermost layer to the upper fourth layer may be stacked in a manner such that the first semiconductor chips 31 to 34 protrude decreasingly to the left direction for exposing pad parts 31a to 34a and disposing the pad parts 31a to 34a close to the first edge inner terminals 3a. If the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 are stacked in a manner such that the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 protrude toward one direction, the stacked first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may be relatively unstable and may fall. Therefore, the first semiconductor chips 35 to 38 from the fifth layer to the eighth layer may be stacked in a manner such that the first semiconductor chips 35 to 38 protrude decreasingly to the right direction for exposing pad parts 35a to 38a and disposing the pad parts 35a to 38a close to the second edge inner terminals 3b. In this way, ends of the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may be arranged in a step shape. The pad parts 31a to 34a of the first semiconductor chips 31 to 34 from the lowermost layer to the fourth layer may be connected to the first edge inner terminals 3a through first wires 51, and the pad parts 35a to 38a of the first semiconductor chips 31 to 34 from the fifth layer to the eighth layer may be connected to the second edge inner terminals 3b through second wires 53. The second semiconductor chip 60 may be mounted in a center region of the substrate part 1 surrounded by the support part 9. The second semiconductor chip 60 may be mounted by wire bonding. That is, pad parts 60a of the second semiconductor chip 60 may be connected to the second chip inner terminals 5 disposed on the first surface 1a through third wires 75. An adhesive film 70 may be disposed between the second semiconductor chip 60 and the substrate part 1. The thickness of the support part 9 may be greater than the thickness of the second semiconductor chip 60. The height of the support part 9 may be adjusted to a desired level by stacking a plurality of layers.


In example embodiments, the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may be memory chips, however, example embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may be active devices. In example embodiments, the second semiconductor chip 60 may be a logic chip or controller, however, example embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, the second semiconductor chip 60 may be a passive device.


After the semiconductor chips 31 to 38 and 60 are mounted, the base substrate 20 may be covered with a molding film 90. The molding film 90 may be formed of an epoxy-containing resin. A space formed on a center area of the first surface 1a of the substrate part 1 by the second semiconductor chip 60, the support part 9, and the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may be filled or not filled with the molding film 90. In addition, bumps 80, for example solder balls, may be attached to the external terminals 7.


In example embodiments, the base substrate 20 may include the support part 9, and the support part 9 may support the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 and may provide a space in which the second semiconductor chip 60 may be mounted. Therefore, different semiconductor chips can be efficiently mounted on the same base substrate without a horizontal area increase. In addition, since the support part 9 supporting the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may be formed as part of the base substrate 20, distortion of the semiconductor package 100 may be reduced, and wire routability can be increased.


In example embodiments, semiconductor chips may be mounted, by a flip chip bonding method, on a semiconductor package whose plan view is similar to FIG. 1, and this will be described with reference to FIG. 4.


Referring to FIG. 4, a semiconductor package 101 may include a base substrate 20 with a support part 9, and the support part 9 of the base substrate 20 may have sloped sidewalls 9a and 9b. First semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may be mounted on the base substrate 20 by a flip chip bonding method. That is, the first semiconductor chip 31 which is the lowermost layer of the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may make contact with the topside of the support part 9 and may be connected to first and second edge inner terminals 3a and 3b of a substrate part 1 through first inner solder balls 55. The first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may include through vias 31b to 38b, respectively. Unlike the semiconductor package 100 illustrated in FIG. 1, the edges of the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 of FIG. 4 may be vertically aligned instead of being stepped. The first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may be bonded and connected to each other by second inner solder balls 57 disposed between the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38. Since the first semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may include the through vias 31b to 38b and may be stacked and bonded to each other by a flip chip bonding method, wires for electric signal transmission may be shortened, and electric resistance may be reduced for increasing operational speed. A second semiconductor chip 60 may be bonded and connected to second chip inner terminals 5 through third inner solder balls 74. The second semiconductor chip 60 may include through vias 60b. The other structures of the semiconductor package 101 may be substantially equal or similar to the structure of the semiconductor package 100, thus a detailed description thereof is omitted for the sake of brevity.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, in the semiconductor package 105 of example embodiments, second chip inner terminals 5 may be disposed close to first edge inner terminals 3a. A second semiconductor chip 60 may be mounted on a substrate part 1 at a position close to the first edge inner terminals 3a by a wire boding method. A support part 9 may be disposed between the second chip inner terminals 5 and second edge inner terminals 3b. First semiconductor chips 31 to 38 may be stacked on the support part 9 in a step shape. The other structures of FIG. 6 may be substantially equal to or similar to the structure shown in FIG. 1.


As shown in FIG. 6, the first semiconductor chip 31 includes one edge aligned with the support part 9 and another edge overhanging the support part 9. In example embodiments, the second semiconductor chip 60 may be arranged under the overhanging part of the first semiconductor chip 31.

The support part 9 may be provided as a protrusion, however the support part 9 illustrated in FIG. 9 is not limited to the shapes described in the earlier figures. That is, the support parts 9 may have various shapes. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the support part 9 may have a C-shape and the second semiconductor chip 60 may be partially enclosed by the C-shaped support 9 such that three sides of the second semiconductor chip 60 face the C-shaped support 9.


The above-described semiconductor package technology may be applied to various semiconductor devices and package modules including semiconductor devices.

The memory 1330 may store data and/or commands executed by the controller 1310. The memory 1330 may include a volatile memory and/or a nonvolatile memory. Otherwise, the memory 330 may be formed by a flash memory. For example, a flash memory to which example embodiments are applied may be installed in an information processing system, for example, a mobile device or a desktop computer. The flash memory may be constituted by a solid state device (SSD). In example embodiments, the electronic system 1300 may stably store a large amount of data in the flash memory. The electronic system 1300 may further include an interface 1340 for transmitting/receiving data to/from, for example, a communication network. The interface 1340 may have a wired and/or wireless connection. For example, the interface 1340 may include an antenna or a wired/wireless transceiver.
