  • Patent number: 8723313
    Abstract: A semiconductor package structure and a method for manufacturing the same are provided, in which a semiconductor die is disposed in a spacer structure for packaging, and a connection pad, a first metallic layer, an insulating layer, a wiring layer, a pin base, a conductive via and a metallic bump are formed on the semiconductor die, wherein the wiring layer can be formed as a single layer or multiple layers, and the connection pad is electrically connected with an outer pin. Moreover, the positioning structures are also formed to overcome the conventional misalignment problems caused by the thermal expansion and the cooling contraction. The alignment of the conductive via with the connection pad can be more accurately achieved, which ensures that the connection pad is reliably connected with the outer pin.

  • Patent number: 7968446
    Abstract: The metallic bump is directly formed on a semiconductor wafer's I/O pad without UBM. First, a zinc layer is formed on the I/O pad or an anti-oxidation layer of the I/O pad is selectively etched off. Then, an isolative layer and a copper foil are arranged sequentially in this order above the I/O pad. The isolative layer is originally in a liquid state or in a temporarily solid state and later permanently solidified. Then, a via above the I/O pad is formed by removing part of the isolative layer and the cooper foil. Subsequently, A thin metallic layer connecting the copper foil and the I/O pad is formed in the via and a plating resist on the copper foil is formed. Then, a metallic bump is formed from the via whose height is controlled by the plating resist. Finally, the plating resist and the copper foil are removed.

  • Patent number: 7733627
    Abstract: The embedded capacitor of the present invention contains a power plate, a ground plate, and a dielectric layer vertically sandwiched between the power and ground plates. Both the power and ground plates are divided laterally into a number of smaller plates with appropriate gaps therebetween; and, as such, cracks in the dielectric layers are limited to happen between gaps only. The smaller plates are then electrically connected by connectors in the gaps. The connectors for the power plate and the connectors for the ground plate are not vertically overlapped so that they do not appear simultaneously at the two ends of the cracks simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 7713861
    Abstract: The method mainly contains the following steps. First, an UBM is formed on a top side of a semiconductor's I/O pad. An isolative layer and a metallic foil are sequentially arranged in this order on the UBM. Then, a via is formed to expose the top surface of the UBM. Subsequently, a thin metallic layer is formed in the via and a resist is formed on the metallic foil. Then, by using the metallic foil and the thin metallic layer as an electrode to conduct electrical current, a metallic bump is formed using electroplating in the via on the top side of the UBM. Finally, the resist and the metallic foil are removed and the formation of the metallic bump is completed. Optionally coating on bump may be needed for certain chosen bump materials.
