Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same
Provided is a semiconductor device having a semiconductor chip mounted over a substrate, in which an interconnect is formed, by using an adhesive layer to permit contact conduction between a stud bump of the semiconductor chip and an interconnect of a tape substrate, wherein an adhesive layer formed integral as a film is adhered to each block made of substrates corresponding to a plurality of semiconductor devices and contact bonding under heat is conducted. The adhesive layer corresponding to the plurality of semiconductor devices is thus formed continuously and with this adhesive layer, the interconnect formation surface at the end portion of the substrate is covered. Moreover, with a thermosetting resin used as the adhesive layer, the semiconductor chip and substrate are adhered by contact bonding under heat while placing the substrate on a rigid heat insulating plate. According to the present invention, heat diffusion and deformation of the substrate upon contact bonding under heat can be prevented by the rigid heat insulating plate. Upon dicing, the peeling of the interconnect from the substrate can be prevented by holding the interconnect with the adhesive layer at the end portion of the substrate.
The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof, particularly to a technique effective when applied to a semiconductor device having a semiconductor chip and a substrate connected via a stud bump.
In semiconductor devices, as miniaturization of semiconductor chips proceeds, the number of circuits to be mounted on one semiconductor chip is increasing. For such highly integrated circuits, semiconductor devices need a larger number of connecting terminals. For example, with advance in miniaturization, semiconductor memory devices have a higher capacity and has a bus width enlarged enough to process a large capacity of data at high speed, which require more connecting terminals.
To cope with such an increase in the number of connecting terminals, BGA (Ball Grid Array) type semiconductor devices adopt C4 connection (controlled Collapse Chip Connection) in which ball- or column-shaped bump electrodes using a solder and disposed horizontally on a surface on which a semiconductor device is to be mounted are connected simultaneously by vitrification of the bump electrodes 5 to a mounting substrate having connecting terminals formed thereover to correspond to the terminal disposal on the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device is connected to the mounting substrate by reflow soldering, that is, by heating the substrate by hot air blowing or infrared ray irradiation to melt the solder of the bump electrode and connect the bump electrode of the semiconductor device to the terminal of the mounting substrate, and then solidifying the solder by lowering the temperature.
Moreover, to meet a tendency to size and thickness reduction of an electronic device to be mounted, semiconductor devices are requested to have a smaller and thinner product size. Various types of semiconductor devices are considered as a CSP (Chip Size Package) semiconductor device in which the outside dimension of the product is made substantially equal to that of a semiconductor chip to be mounted.
A semiconductor device using a tape substrate is one of CSP. In this semiconductor device, a semiconductor chip is mounted on one side of a tape substrate having interconnects made of a metal film such as copper formed over a base made of an insulating resin such as polyimide; a bump electrode which will serve as an external terminal of the semiconductor device and is used for the connection with a mounting substrate is formed on the other side; and the semiconductor chip is connected with one end of the interconnect formed over the tape substrate and the bump electrode is connected to the other end.
Such a connection between the semiconductor chip and interconnect by using the bump electrode enables a reduction in inductance and in turn, speedup of signal processing, compared with the conventionally and popularly used connection by wire bonding. This also actualizes size and thickness reduction of the semiconductor device as a product.
Formation of bump electrodes using a solder is accompanied by an increase in the number of steps and a cost rise, because a solder paste is printed and adhered to a pad 12 through a mask, the solder thus adhered is melted by reflow and then, the residue such as flux is removed by washing. In addition, when a semiconductor chip and a substrate are connected via a solder, the melting point of the solder used for connecting the semiconductor chip with the substrate is set higher than that of another solder used for connecting a tape substrate and a mounting substrate, which inevitably limits materials used for these solders.
To overcome the above-described problem, a stud bump is considered as a measure for facilitating the formation of bump electrodes by making use of a wire bonding technique. In the formation of a stud bump, a gold wire having a diameter as fine as from about 20 μm to 30 μm and exposed from a wire bonder capillary is melted by using a discharge torch or the like. The molten gold becomes a sphere having a diameter of about 50 μm to 80 μm by surface tension. While the resulting gold ball is bonded onto the pad 12 of the semiconductor chip 4, the capillary is detached without reeling out a wire. The gold ball portion is separated from the capillary and a protruding electrode is formed on the pad 12.
In this stud bump, the spherical portion fixed onto the pad 12 has a diameter of from about 60 μm to 90 μm and a height of about 70 μm. Since the gold wire is drawn and the diameter of the wire decreased gradually upon separation, a conical protrusion is formed on the sphere.
In the connection between this stud bump and the tape substrate, the semiconductor chip is fixed by adhesion to the substrate with an adhesive layer such as NCF (Non Conductive Film) which is a film adhesive while pressing the semiconductor chip towards the substrate. The contact conduction is thereafter maintained between the stud bump and the connection terminal on the substrate.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONA technique on CSP having a semiconductor chip mounted on a tape substrate is described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-231770.
During the manufacture of the semiconductor device disclosed herein, a plurality of tape substrates of the semiconductor device are integrally formed as a strip-shaped sheet or a film wound on a reel. After the semiconductor chip is mounted on each tape substrate, the tape substrate is cut and separated into pieces. According to the above-described patent document, a tape base material 10 is disposed between an interconnect 11 of a tape substrate 3 and a semiconductor chip 2, whereby a gold wire bump electrode 20 and an interconnect 22 are connected inside of an opening groove 14 formed in the tape base material 10.
With high integration and function increase of semiconductor chips in recent days, the integration density of pads which will serve as external terminals of a chip increases, leading to downsizing of the pads. The planar layout size of a protruding electrode which can be formed on the pad becomes smaller with a size reduction in the pad. Since a height/width ratio of the protruding electrode is limited by the manufacturing method of the protruding electrode, the height of it gradually decreases with a size reduction of the planar layout of the protruding electrode.
When a protruding electrode having a height lowered with a trend of a semiconductor chip toward high integration is applied to a semiconductor device as described above in which an electrode and an interconnect are connected inside of an opening groove formed in a tape base material, the height of the protruding electrode is not sufficient relative to the depth of the opening groove formed in the tape base material and sometimes causes connection failure between the protruding electrode and interconnect. The present inventors have independently carried out an investigation on this problem.
An object of the present is to provide a technique capable of overcoming the above-described problems and preventing connection failure between a semiconductor chip and an interconnect of a substrate.
The above-described and the other objects and novel features of the present invention will be apparent by the description herein and accompanying drawings.
The typical inventions, among the inventions disclosed by the present application, will next be descried briefly.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The embodiments of the present invention will next be described.
In all the drawings for describing the embodiments, like members of a function will be identified by like reference numerals and overlapping descriptions will be omitted.
In the semiconductor device of this embodiment, a semiconductor chip 4 is mounted on one side of a tape substrate 3 having an interconnect 2 made of a metal film such as copper formed over a base 1 which is a flexible film made of an insulating resin such as epoxy resin, aramid resin or polyimide resin; and a bump electrode 5 such as solder, which will serve as an external terminal of the semiconductor device and is used for connecting with a mounting substrate, is formed over the other side. The semiconductor chip 4 is connected to one end of the interconnect 2 formed over the tape substrate 3, while the bump electrode 5 is connected to the other end. In order to prevent short-circuit failure of this interconnect 2, a solder resist 6 is applied as an insulating coating to only a portion of the interconnect 2 necessary for connection.
For the connection between the semiconductor chip 4 and interconnect 2, a stud bump 7 is employed. This stud bump 7 is formed of a spherical portion 7a to be fusion bonded to a pad 12 of the semiconductor chip 4, and a conical protruding portion 7b associated with the spherical portion 7a. The semiconductor chip 4 and the tape substrate 3 are fixed by adhesion with an adhesive layer 8 such as NCF (Non Conductive Film) which is an insulating film adhesive while the semiconductor chip 4 is pressed against the tape substrate 3 to bring the protruding portion 7b of the stud bump 7 into contact with the interconnect 2 of the tape substrate 3. The contact conduction is thus attained between stud bump 7 of the semiconductor chip 4 and the interconnect 2 of the tape substrate 3.
In the tape substrate 3 of this embodiment, the interconnect 2 is formed only on the semiconductor-chip-mounting side of the base 1. In addition, the bump electrode 5 attached to the other side of the base 1 is connected to the interconnect 2 via a hole made in the base 1. This structure does not need a via-hole interconnect penetrating through the base 1 so that the cost of the tape substrate 3 can be reduced.
When the diameter of the bump decreases with the narrowing of the pitch and sufficient bump height or bump height necessary for the thickness of the solder resist cannot be maintained, the main surface of the chip happens to be brought into contact with the solder resist and conduction between the bump and interconnect is sometimes disturbed. To overcome this problem, the stud bump 7 must be made higher. An increase in the height of the stud bump 7 requires an increase in the diameter of the stud bump 7. This increase in the diameter of the stud bump 7 inevitably widens the arrangement pitch of the stud bump 7. As illustrated in
Usually in the connection using the stud bump 7, the semiconductor chip 4 and the tape substrate 3 are fixed by an adhesive force of the adhesive layer 8 while a pressure is applied to the semiconductor chip 4. By a repulsive force of the interconnect 2 against the pushing power of the stud pad 7, the contact conduction is maintained between the semiconductor chip 4 and interconnect 2. When the semiconductor chip 4 is mounted on the flexible tape substrate 3, however, it is sometimes difficult to maintain contact conduction between the semiconductor chip 4 and the interconnect 2 of the tape substrate 3, because flexibility disturbs the interconnect 2 from exhibiting the repulsive force.
The stud bump 7 and interconnect 2 are fixed by the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 8, whereby the contact conduction can be kept. When deformation of the stud bump 7 and adhesive layer 8 occurs owing to, for example, thermal expansion and a relative positional relationship between them undergoes a change, the stud bump 7 is not always brought into contact with the interconnect 2. In order to avoid such a situation, the thickness of the adhesive layer 8 and the height of the stud bump 7 are desirably reduced.
When thermal expansion occurs, their shapes change in proportion to temperature. Their changing amounts are proportionate to the thickness of the adhesive layer 8 and height of the stud bump 7, respectively. In order to lessen the deformation amount, a reduction in each of the thickness of the adhesive layer 8 and the height of the stud bump 7 is desired.
In a semiconductor device illustrated in the fragmentary longitudinal cross-sectional view of
The adhesion between the semiconductor chip 4 and the tape substrate 3 was evaluated by the present inventors by placing the tape substrate 3 on a table made of a metal such as stainless and using a heat block 14 to heat and pressurize the chip and substrate to adhere them. In this case, owing to high heat conductivity of the table, the heat of the heat block 14 diffuses from the table and heating efficiency lowers. The present inventors therefore, as illustrated in a fragmentary longitudinal cross-sectional view of
For the formation of the interconnect 2 on the base substrate, electroplating is often employed because of its high film forming rate, good film quality and high freedom of selection of a plating solution. In the case of a base substrate having the interconnect 2 formed thereon by electroplating, each interconnect 2 is electrically connected and integrally formed with a lead interconnect 2a, whereby a potential is fed to each interconnect 2 upon plating. Since upon segmenting of the semiconductor device, the lead interconnect 2a of each semiconductor device is separated by dicing so that this lead interconnect 2a extends to the end portion of the base substrate.
In the above-described trial, deformation of the heat insulating plate 10 occurs upon contact bonding under heat. The tape substrate 3 is then forced into the insulating plate 10 at the stud bump 7 on which a force is applied, and as illustrated in
In this embodiment, for the purpose of overcoming the above-described problem, contact bonding under heat is carried out while having the tape substrate 3 placed on a rigid heat insulating plate 10 made of glass or ceramic as illustrated in the fragmentary longitudinal cross-sectional view of
By heating in the step of contact bonding under heat, an adhesive material constituting the adhesive layer 8 is hardened. To attain efficient heating, use of an insulating material having a low thermal conductivity for the heat insulating plate 10 is preferred. For example, materials such as glass and ceramic are preferred.
With regards to the tape substrate 3, a plurality of tape substrates 3 which will be a plurality of semiconductor devices are integrally formed as a strip-shaped sheet or a film wound on a reel. A block having a plurality of semiconductor devices is subjected to contact bonding under heat simultaneously. When the tap substrates 3 are formed as a strip-shaped sheet, one sheet can be subjected to contact bonding under heat as one block.
When a plurality of semiconductor devices are treated simultaneously, the number of the semiconductor devices which can be subjected to simultaneous treatment is limited because of misalignment or height error of the semiconductor chip 4. When a long film having a number of tape substrates 3 integrated therein is wound on a reel and then subjected to contact bonding under heat, the whole film cannot be treated as a single block.
The appropriate number of the tape substrate 3 of the long film is treated as a single block. Upon contact bonding under heat of a single block, when an uncured adhesive layer 8 is disposed in an untreated block adjacent to a treated block, heat generated upon the contact bonding under heat transfers to the adhesive layer 8 of the adjacent untreated block and this adhesive layer 8 is cured before treatment of this block. The adhesive layer in the untreated block is inevitably cured not under pressure, which makes it impossible to achieve contact conduction between the stud bump 7 and interconnect 2. In order to overcome the above-described problem, it is possible to have a sufficient space between two adjacent single blocks on a long film and thermally separate them each other. In this method, however, wasteful use of the film leads to a rise in the cost of products.
To avoid such a situation, the film is cut into sheet by block subjected to simultaneous treatment and two adjacent blocks are separated each other. This makes it possible to prevent the transfer of the heat to another block upon contact bonding under heat and at the same time, to reduce the cost owing to the efficient use of the film.
The tape substrate 3 has a larger planar shape than the semiconductor chip 4 because it needs a margin for dicing. The tape substrate 3 therefore overhangs, at the end portion thereof, by about 200 μm or less from the end portion of the semiconductor chip 4. When the adhesive layer 8 segmented to correspond to each semiconductor chip is used, the adhesive layer 8 is not sometimes laid over the end of the tape substrate 3 which has protruded from the end portion of the semiconductor chip 4. The present inventors have investigated a problem which possibly occurs by such a structure in a dicing step and as a result, found that the end of the interconnect turns outward from the tape substrate.
In this Embodiment, the interconnect on the main surface of the tape substrate 3 is not covered with an insulating film such as solder resist film so that the interconnect 2 is exposed at the end portion of the tape substrate 3. When, after mounting of the semiconductor chip 4 on the substrate, a sheet having a plurality of tape substrates 3 formed integral therein is cut and separated into each piece by dicing, the interconnect 2 peels and turns outward, at the end portion thereof, from the base 1 of the base substrate as illustrated in the fragmentary longitudinal cross-sectional view of
In the semiconductor device according to this Embodiment, occurrence of such a defect is prevented by forming the adhesive layer 8 all over the surface of the tape substrate 3, and covering the lead interconnect 2a at the end portion of the tape substrate 3 with the adhesive layer 8 as illustrated in
As described above, when the interconnect 2 of the tape substrate 3 is formed by electroplating, the lead interconnect 2a crossing over a dicing region of the tape substrate 3 becomes necessary for connecting between two adjacent interconnects 2 of the tape substrate 3. When the interconnect 2 is formed by electroless plating, on the other hand, the lead interconnect 2a is not required and the interconnect 2 can be formed independently for each tape substrate 3.
The lead interconnect 2a crossing over the dicing region becomes unnecessary so that by not disposing the interconnect 2 at the end portion of the tape substrate 3, it is possible to prevent the peeling of the interconnect 2 at the end portion of the tape substrate 3 which will otherwise occur associated with the rotation of the blade upon dicing. Moreover, the formation of the interconnect 2 by electroless plating offers the following advantage.
In semiconductor devices, size reduction of the semiconductor chip 4 and also high integration for increasing the number of circuits mounted thereon per area with an advance of miniaturization have been carried out. Semiconductor devices are therefore required to have many connection terminals for the increased number of circuits mounted under such a trend of increasing integration level. The number of bump electrodes 5 serving as external terminals of the semiconductor device is however limited, depending on the mounting conditions and it is sometimes difficult to dispose the bump electrodes 5 as much as pads 12 of the semiconductor chip 4.
In such a case, as illustrated in the chip mounting surface of the tape substrate 3 in
Such a common interconnect 2b can be used in the form divided into two parts as illustrated in
When the interconnect 2 is formed by electroplating, the lead interconnect 2a crossing over the peripheral portion of the tape substrate 3 becomes necessary in order to connect between the tape substrates 3 so that the common interconnect 2b along the periphery of the tape substrate 3 cannot be disposed. When the interconnect 2 is formed by electroless plating, on the other hand, the lead interconnect 2a is not necessary and therefore the common interconnect 2b can be disposed.
The other end of the interconnect 2 of the tape substrate 3 on which the bump electrode 5 is to be formed is exposed from the mounting surface of the semiconductor device, that is, the other surface of the semiconductor device via a hole formed in the base 1 of the base substrate. As illustrated in the fragmentary longitudinal cross-sectional view of
When this bump electrode 5 and a mounting substrate are connected and they are thus in the packaged state, a thermal stress appears between the bump electrode 5 connected with the mounting substrate and the interconnect 2 of the tape substrate 3 owing to a difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the semiconductor chip 4 and the mounting substrate to which the semiconductor chip 4 has been fixed, and this thermal stress causes peeling of the bump electrode 5 from the plated film 11, or the bump electrode 5 is sometimes cut by this thermal stress.

A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device using the tape substrate 3 illustrated in
This semiconductor chip 4 is manufactured by forming various elements on a semiconductor substrate made of, for example, single crystal silicon, and connecting these elements with an interconnect 2 formed over the semiconductor substrate and made of a metal film such as aluminum. In the forming steps of various elements and the interconnect 2, a series of treatments are added to a wafer having a matrix of a plurality of semiconductor chips 4 formed integrally thereon and in the dicing step after completion of the series of treatments, the wafer is cut vertically and horizontally into each semiconductor chip 4 by a dicing blade.
At the end portion of the uppermost level interconnect 2, a plurality of pads 12 are each exposed from an opening made in a protective insulating film 13. These pads 12 are each a square of about 60 μm to 90 μm and are disposed at a pitch of from about 70 μm to 100 μm. The pads 12 are formed in a line along the circumference of the semiconductor chip 4 and function as connection terminals between the semiconductor chip 4 and tape substrate 3. On each of these pads 12, a stud bump 7 is formed.
The stud bump 7 is formed of a spherical portion 7a which is fusion bonded to the pad 12 of the semiconductor chip 4 and a conical protruding portion 7b associated with this spherical portion 7a. With this protruding portion 7b in contact with the interconnect 2 of the tape substrate 3, the semiconductor chip 4 is fixed to the substrate by adhesion with an adhesive layer 8 (Non Conductive Film) which is a film adhesive, whereby contact conduction between the stud bump 7 and the interconnect 2 of the tape substrate 3 is achieved.
With regards to this stud bump 7, a gold wire having a diameter as fine as from about 20 μm to 30 μm and exposed from a wire bonder capillary is melted by using a discharge torch or the like. The molten gold becomes a sphere having a diameter of about 50 μm to 80 μm by surface tension. The spherical portion 7a is formed while the resulting gold ball is bonded onto the pad 12 of the semiconductor chip 4. When the capillary is detached without reeling out a wire, the spherical portion 7a is separated from the capillary and the protruding portion 7b is formed on the pad 12.
In this stud bump 7, the spherical portion 7a fusion bonded onto the pad 12 has a diameter of from about 60 μm to 90 μm and a height of about 70 μm. The conical protruding portion 7b is formed as the gold wire is drawn continuously from the spherical portion 7a upon detachment and the diameter of the wire therefore decreases gradually.

This rigid heat insulating plate 10 can prevent heat diffusion and at the same time, the deformation of the tape substrate 3. The heat block 14 has a surface covered with a protective sheet 15 to prevent it from adhering to the adhesive layer 8.
