- Advances in semiconductor processing technologies are dramatically reducing the feature sizes of integrated circuit (IC) devices such that more semiconductor elements are formed within a smaller chip. In addition to improving chip performance, the wafer area is further saved to reduce manufacturing cost. However, due to the ever-decreasing size of chips and the ever-increasing density of devices formed therein, the amount and the density of the input/output connections are increasing accordingly, such that formation of connection paths to the chip is getting difficult. In addition, when devices with high density operate in a smaller chip, a lot of heat may be generated and performance of the chip may be negatively affected.

- According to another illustrative embodiment, a method of forming a chip package is provided. The method includes providing a temporary substrate, forming an insulating layer overlying the temporary substrate, forming a soft insulating layer overlying the insulating layer, bonding at least one chip overlying the soft insulating layer, forming a metal layer overlying the temporary substrate, wherein the metal layer conformally covers the soft insulating layer and the chip, forming a dielectric layer overlying the metal layer, removing the temporary substrate, removing the soft insulating layer, and forming a protective layer overlying the chip.

FIGS. 1A-1G are cross-sectional views showing the steps in forming a chip package according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 1A , atemporary substrate 100 is provided. Thetemporary substrate 100 includes a semiconductor material, insulating material, metal material, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, thetemporary substrate 100 may be, for example, a silicon wafer or silicon substrate. - Then, a soft
insulating layer 102 is formed overlying thetemporary substrate 100. In the following process, thesoft insulating layer 102 is used to fix a chip disposed thereon. Thus, it is preferable that thesoft insulating layer 102 is capable of allowing the chip to penetrate therein, and thus fix the chip. Thesoft insulating layer 102 may include, for example, a wax, polymer material, or combinations thereof. The softinsulating layer 102 is formed by, for example, a screen printing, lamination printing, or spin coating. - As shown in
FIG. 1B , achip 104 is bonded overlying thesoft insulating layer 102. In addition, in another embodiment, more than onechip 104 may be bonded overlying thesoft insulating layer 102. These chips may be different kinds of chips and each has its specific function. For example, in one embodiment, thechip 104 may include a logic chip, micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) chip, micro fluidic system chip, physical sensor chip for detecting physical changes such as detecting heat, light, or pressure, RF device chip, accelerator chip, gyroscope chip, micro actuator chip, surface acoustic wave device chip, pressure sensor chip, ink printer head chip, light emitting device chip, or solar cell chip. In addition, sizes or shapes of different chips may be different from each other. In addition, although a sidewall of thechip 104 shown inFIG. 1B is substantially perpendicular to an upper surface of thetemporary substrate 100, a chip having a sidewall inclining to the upper surface of thetemporary substrate 100 may also be adopted or formed, which may make a conformal deposition of a subsequently formed material layer, such as a metal layer more easy. - In one embodiment, the bonding of the
chip 104 includes pressing thechip 104 into thesoft insulating layer 102. As shown inFIG. 1B , thechip 104 is pressed such that a portion of thechip 104 penetrates into thesoft insulating layer 102 and thechip 104 is fixed. - As shown in
FIG. 1C , thesoft insulating layer 102 is then hardened to form aninsulating layer 102 a. The hardenedinsulating layer 102 a further fixes thechip 104 and makes thetemporary substrate 100 easier to remove in the following process. In one embodiment, the hardening of the soft insulating layer includes irradiating the soft insulatinglayer 102 with a UV light or heating the soft insulatinglayer 102, such that the soft insulatinglayer 102 may be hardened to serve as the insulatinglayer 102 a. The heating temperature may vary according to the material of the soft insulatinglayer 102, which may range between about 120° C. and about 350° C. - Then, as shown in
FIG. 1C , ametal layer 106 is formed overlying thetemporary substrate 100. Themetal layer 106 conformally covers the insulatinglayer 102 a and thechip 104. In this embodiment, themetal layer 106 directly contacts with thechip 104. In another embodiment, another material layer such as a dielectric layer or another conducting layer may be formed between thechip 104 and themetal layer 106 depending on the situation. Themetal layer 106 may be formed by, for example, a physical vapor deposition, sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, electroplating, or electroless plating. In one embodiment, themetal layer 106 is conformally formed overlying the entire surface of thechip 104. In another embodiment, themetal layer 106 may be patterned according to the requirement. For example, the patternedmetal layer 106 may serve as a portion of a passive device under thechip 104. In addition, themetal layer 106 facilitates heat dissipation of thechip 104 or may be used to ground the chip. - As shown in
FIG. 1D , adielectric layer 108 is formed overlying themetal layer 106. The material of thedielectric layer 108 may be, for example, an epoxy resin, solder mask material, or other suitable insulating material, such as inorganic materials including silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, metal oxide, or combinations thereof, or organic polymer materials including polyimide, butylcyclobutene (BCB, Dow Chemical Co.), parylene, polynaphthalenes, fluorocarbons, or acrylates and so on. Thedielectric layer 108 may be formed by a coating method, such as a spin coating, spray coating, or curtain coating method, or other suitable deposition methods, such as a liquid phase deposition, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, low pressure chemical vapor deposition, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition, or atmospheric pressure vapor deposition. In the following process, thedielectric layer 108 is going to be used as a substrate supporting thechip 104. Thus, it is preferable that thedielectric layer 108 has a substantially planar upper surface. - As shown in
FIG. 1E , thetemporary substrate 100 is removed from the surface of the hardened insulatinglayer 102 a. Then, as shown inFIG. 1F , the insulatinglayer 102 a is removed. In one embodiment, the material of the hardened insulatinglayer 102 a is a wax which can be removed easily. The removing of the insulatinglayer 102 a includes heating the wax to a melting point of the wax, such as 100° C., and then removing the wax using an external force. In this embodiment, the upper surface of thechip 104 is higher than the upper surface of themetal layer 106 beside thechip 104. In another embodiment, thechip 104 is merely bonded overlying the soft insulatinglayer 102 without sinking into the soft insulatinglayer 102. Theentire chip 104 is located in thedielectric layer 108. Thus, the upper surface of the chip is as high as the upper surface of themetal layer 106 beside thechip 104. The upper surfaces of the chip and the metal layers are coplanar. - As shown in
FIG. 1G , thedielectric layer 108 is now used as a substrate, and aprotective layer 110 is formed overlying thechip 104. The material and forming method of theprotective layer 110 may be similar to those of thedielectric layer 108. Theprotective layer 110 may protect thechip 104 from impact by an external force or contamination from outside. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1G , conductingstructures 112 are further formed overlying theprotective layer 110. The conductingstructure 112 is electrically connected to thechip 104 through, for example, a conducting via (not shown). In one embodiment, each of the conductingstructures 112 is electrically connected to onechip 104 individually. In another embodiment, one of the conductingstructures 112 may be electrically connected to two (or more)chips 104 to form a signal transmission bridge between the two different chips. It should be noted that thesame chip 104 may be connected with a plurality of conductingstructures 112. However, it does not mean that these conductingstructures 112 are electrically connected to each other. These conductingstructures 112 may be electrically connected to different pads or different device regions of thechip 104 and electrically insulated from each other. In yet another embodiment, the conductingstructure 112 may be electrically connected to themetal layer 106. In this case, the conductingstructure 112 may be used as a ground electrode. - In one embodiment, the conducting
structure 112 may be a solder ball. With the ever-decreasing size of chips and the ever-increasing density of devices formed therein, the amount and the density of input/output connections are increased accordingly. In this case, it is difficult to form conducting structures such as solder balls in a limited chip area. In an embodiment of the invention, aprotective layer 110 is formed and thus the conductingstructures 112 such as solder balls may be distributed on theprotective layer 110 which has a larger area, and thus reduces the problem caused by the high density of the solder balls. In embodiments of the invention, it is preferable to integrate a plurality of chips. Thus, solder balls corresponding to each of the chips are together distributed on theprotective layer 110. Not only is distribution density of the conducting structures relaxed, but also the area of theprotective layer 110 is effectively utilized which allows the size of the chip package to become smaller. -

Materials or formation methods of similar or same material layers are not described repeatedly. - As shown in
FIG. 2A , atemporary substrate 100 is provided. Then, an insulatinglayer 101 a is formed overlying thetemporary substrate 100. The insulatinglayer 101 a may include a wax, polymer material, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, a soft insulating layer may be formed overlying thetemporary substrate 100 and then hardened to form an insulatinglayer 101 a. For example, the soft insulating layer may be hardened to form the insulatinglayer 101 a by heating the layer or by means of light irradiation, such as using a UV light. Then, a softinsulating layer 102 is formed overlying the insulatinglayer 101 a. - As shown in
FIG. 2B , at least onechip 104 is bonded overlying the soft insulatinglayer 102. In one embodiment, the bonding of thechip 104 includes pressing thechip 104 into the soft insulatinglayer 102. As shown inFIG. 2B , in this embodiment, thechip 104 is pressed such that a portion of thechip 104 penetrates into the soft insulatinglayer 102 and is fixed. Thechip 104 directly contacts with the insulatinglayer 101 a. - Then, as shown in
FIG. 2C , ametal layer 106 is formed overlying thetemporary substrate 100. Themetal layer 106 conformally covers and overlays the soft insulatinglayer 102 and thechip 104. In this embodiment, themetal layer 106 directly contacts with thechip 104. In another embodiment, another material layer, such as a dielectric layer or another conducting layer, may be formed between thechip 104 and themetal layer 106 depending on the situation. Themetal layer 106 may be formed by a physical vapor deposition, sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, electroplating, or electroless plating. Wherein, when a sputtering is chosen to form themetal layer 106, the soft insulatinglayer 102 is formed on the insulatinglayer 101 a and may protect the insulatinglayer 101 a thereunder from being bombarded by ion beams and becoming deteriorated, which benefits to a following removing step. - Then, as shown in
FIG. 2D , adielectric layer 108 is formed overlying themetal layer 106. In the following process, thedielectric layer 108 will be used as a substrate supporting thechip 104. Thus, it is preferable that thedielectric layer 108 has a substantially planar upper surface. - As shown in
FIG. 2E , thetemporary substrate 100 is removed from the surface of the insulatinglayer 101 a. Then, as shown inFIG. 2F , the insulatinglayer 101 a is removed. In one embodiment, the material of the insulatinglayer 101 a is a wax and is protected by the soft insulatinglayer 102 from being deteriorated. Thus, the insulatinglayer 101 a may be removed easily. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 2F , the soft insulatinglayer 102 still remains. The upper surface of the soft insulatinglayer 102 is coplanar with the upper surface of thechip 104. In another embodiment, the soft insulatinglayer 102 may be completely or partially removed. In yet another embodiment, the soft insulatinglayer 102 may be hardened. - As shown in
FIG. 2G , thedielectric layer 108 is now used as a substrate, and aprotective layer 110 is formed overlying thechip 104. Theprotective layer 110 may protect thechip 104 from impact of an external force or contaminations from the environment. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 2G , a plurality of conductingstructures 112 are further formed overlying theprotective layer 110. The conductingstructure 112 is electrically connected to thechip 104 through, for example, a conducting via (not shown). - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 2G , the insulating layer (the soft insulatinglayer 102 or hardened insulating layer) is located between themetal layer 106 and theprotective layer 110 and has an upper surface no higher than the upper surface of thechip 104. For example, in the embodiment shown inFIG. 2F , the upper surface of the insulating layer is as high as and substantially coplanar with the upper surface of the upper surface of thechip 104. Alternatively, in another embodiment, a portion of the insulating layer may be removed such that the upper surface of the insulatinglayer 102 is lower than the upper surface of thechip 104. - According to embodiments of the invention, the bonding of the
chip 104 is not limited to the methods mentioned above. For example,FIGS. 4A-4C are cross-sectional views showing the steps in the chip bonding process in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 4A , a softinsulating layer 201 and a softinsulating layer 202 are formed overlying thetemporary substrate 100 in turn. Then, as shown inFIG. 4B , at least onechip 104 is bonded overlying the soft insulatinglayer 202. In this embodiment, the bonding of thechip 104 includes pressing thechip 104 into the soft insulatinglayer 202. As shown inFIG. 4B , a portion of thechip 104 is pressed into the soft insulatinglayer 202 and is fixed. Thechip 104 further directly contacts with the soft insulatinglayer 201. In another embodiment, thechip 104 merely sinks into the soft insulatinglayer 202 without directly contacting with the soft insulatinglayer 201. In yet another embodiment, thechip 104 penetrates through an interface between the soft insulatinglayer 201 and the soft insulatinglayer 202 and partially sinks into the soft insulatinglayer 201. Depth of thechip 104 sinking into the soft insulatinglayer 202 and/or the soft insulatinglayer 201 may be adjusted depending on the situation and requirement. - Then, as shown in
FIG. 4C , the soft insulatinglayer 201 is hardened to form an insulatinglayer 201 a, which facilitates a following process of removing thetemporary substrate 100. In this embodiment, when the soft insulatinglayer 201 is hardened, the soft insulatinglayer 202 is also hardened to be an insulatinglayer 202 a. For example, the soft insulatinglayers - Alternatively, in another embodiment, a hardened insulating
layer 201 a is first formed overlying thetemporary substrate 100. The softinsulating layer 202 is then formed overlying the insulatinglayer 201 a. Thereafter, the bonding of thechip 104 and the forming of the insulatinglayer 202 a by hardening the soft insulatinglayer 202 are performed. The bonding of thechip 104 may include, for example, pressing thechip 104 such that a portion of thechip 104 penetrates into the soft insulatinglayer 202 and directly contacts with the insulatinglayer 201 a. Then, ametal layer 106 is formed overlying thechip 104 and the insulatinglayer 202 a, and other following packaging processes similar to those shown inFIG. 1G or 2G may be performed. -
FIGS. 3A-3F are illustrative views showing chip packages according to embodiments of the present invention.FIG. 3A shows a cross-sectional view of a chip package according to an embodiment of the present invention. The chip package includes a substrate (thedielectric layer 108 used as the substrate), afirst cavity 302 a extending downward from theupper surface 108 a of the substrate (dielectric layer 108), ametal layer 106 located overlying the substrate and conformally covering a sidewall and a bottom portion of thefirst cavity 302 a, afirst chip 104 a having a firstupper surface 105 a and disposed overlying themetal layer 106 in thefirst cavity 302 a, and aprotective layer 110 covering thefirst chip 104 a. In this embodiment of the invention, a firstupper surface 105 a of thefirst chip 104 a is no lower than theupper surface 107 of themetal layer 106 outside of thefirst cavity 302 a. For example, the firstupper surface 105 a of thefirst chip 104 a may be higher than theupper surface 107 of themetal layer 106 outside of thefirst cavity 302 a. Alternatively, the firstupper surface 105 a of thefirst chip 104 a may be substantially coplanar with theupper surface 107 of themetal layer 106 outside of thefirst cavity 302 a. In this embodiment, themetal layer 106 directly contacts with thefirst chip 104 a. When themetal layer 106 is conformally formed overlying the chip, thefirst chip 104 a directly contacts with themetal layer 106 in thefirst cavity 302 a. In addition, the chip package, according to an embodiment of the invention, may further include a conductingstructure 112 disposed overlying the protective layer, wherein the conductingstructure 112 is electrically connected to thefirst chip 104 a. In addition, a sidewall of thefirst chip 104 a is substantially parallel to the sidewall of thefirst cavity 302 a. -
FIG. 3C shows a cross-sectional view of a chip package according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is similar to that shown inFIG. 3A . The main difference is that the sidewall of thefirst cavity 302 a inclines to theupper surface 108 a of the substrate (dielectric layer 108). The sidewall of thefirst chip 104 a also inclines to the substrate and is substantially parallel to the sidewall of thefirst cavity 302 a. - Referring to
FIG. 3B , a chip package according to an embodiment of the invention may include asecond chip 104 b (and/or more other chips) disposed overlying themetal layer 106 in thesecond cavity 302 b. Thesecond cavity 302 b extends downward from theupper surface 108 a of the substrate (dielectric layer 108). Similar to thefirst chip 104 a, a secondupper surface 105 b of thesecond chip 104 b is no lower than theupper surface 107 of themetal layer 106 outside of thesecond cavity 302 b. Thefirst cavity 302 a may have a size or a shape which is different from that of thesecond cavity 302 b. In this embodiment, themetal layer 106 directly contacts with thesecond chip 104 b. When themetal layer 106 is conformally formed overlying the entire exposed surface of the chip, thesecond chip 104 b directly contacts with themetal layer 106 in thesecond cavity 302 b. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 3B , thefirst chip 104 a has a size and a shape different from those of thesecond chip 104 b. Thefirst chip 104 a and thesecond chip 104 b have different functions. The chip package of the embodiment also includes a protective layer and afirst conducting structure 112 a and asecond conducting structure 112 b disposed thereon, which are electrically connected to thefirst chip 104 a and thesecond chip 104 b, respectively. One of these conducting structures may be electrically connected tofirst chip 104 a and thesecond chip 104 b at the same time, serving as a signal transmission bridge between the two chips. Alternatively, depending on the situation, thefirst conducting structure 112 a and/or thesecond conducting structure 112 b may be electrically connected to themetal layer 106 through, for example, a conducting agent via penetration of theprotective layer 110. - In addition, in one embodiment, the
metal layer 106 may further be patterned in the following manner. The patterned metal layer and the substrate (dielectric layer 108) may together form a passive device, such as a capacitor, inductor, or resistor. For example, as shown inFIGS. 3D and 3E , the patternedconducting layer 106 may include afirst metal pattern 106 a and asecond metal pattern 106 b (as shown inFIG. 3E ). The metal patterns and the substrate may together form a capacitor. The passive device such as a capacitor formed under the bottom portion of the chip may be electrically connected to a specific device in thechip 104 through, for example, theconducting layer 106 and the conductingstructure 112. Alternatively, the passive device formed under the bottom portion of the chip may be electrically connected to a specific device in the chip through a conducting path formed in the chip. - In a chip package of an embodiment of the invention, because a metal layer is formed under the chip, heat generated by the chip during operation will be effectively dissipated. The metal layer under the chip has additional functions. For example, the metal layer may be used as a passive device or it can function to ground the chip. Conducting structures such as solder balls are distributed overlying a protective layer with a larger area. Not only is the distribution density of the conducting structures relaxed but also, the area of the
protective layer 110 is employed adequately, leading to size shrinkage of the entire system on chip package. The height of the chip can also be controlled easily because the soft layer which is used for bonding can be molded according to different height specifications. In addition, the soft insulating layer, after being hardened, may be removed easily, facilitating packaging of the chip. - While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of the preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements (as would be apparent to those skilled in the art). Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements.
