CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)

This application claims the benefit under 35 USC 119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0040955 filed on Apr. 4, 2016 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purpose.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor package having improved electromagnetic characteristics in a double-sided mounting type semiconductor package.

2. Description of Related Art

In order to realize the miniaturization and lightening of recent electronic elements, a system-on-chip (SOC) technology of implementing a plurality of individual elements on a single chip, a system-in-package (SIP) technology of integrating a plurality of individual elements in a single package, or the like, as well as a technology of decreasing the sizes of individual mounting components is required.

Further, in order to manufacture a semiconductor package having high performance while having a small size, a structure in which electronic components are mounted on the first surface and the second surface of a substrate has been developed.

In a case of mounting electronic components on the first surface and the second surface of the substrate, a double-sided mounting type semiconductor package allowing an external connection terminal to be easily formed in a state in which the electronic components are mounted on the first surface and the second surface of the substrate has been required.

However, an problem with electromagnetic waves has been prominent as a core problem in next-generation electronic devices to which the semiconductor package is applied, and as the results of research have indicated electromagnetic interference causes malfunctioning of the electronic devices and electromagnetic waves have a negative influence on the human body, interest in electromagnetic waves, in addition to concerns regarding the effects of electromagnetic waves on human health have been increased.

Among semiconductor packages in an existing radio frequency (RF) module, or the like, a semiconductor package using a shield can formed of metal in order to protect an internal integrated circuit (IC), a device element, or the like, from electromagnetic waves and external impacts may be provided.

However, in the case of the using such a shield can, since a space for mounting the shield can should be secured in a surface of the semiconductor package, and the shield can should also be manufactured to have a height higher than those of the internal elements, there may be a limitation in miniaturizing and lightening the semiconductor package.

In order to overcome the disadvantage as described above, a molding technology using an epoxy, an encapsulant material, may be applied instead of the shield can, but in a case of using the mold, a method capable of ensuring protection of internal elements and ICs from electromagnetic waves penetrating thereinto or being radiated thereinto should also be provided.

A solution for solving the above-mentioned technical problems has not been disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2013-0056570.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the semiconductor package 10 according to the exemplary embodiment in the present disclosure may further include an insulating layer 600 disposed between the first and second substrates 100 and 300.

The first substrate 100 may be a double-sided substrate having first and second surfaces 101 and 102 opposing each other, and include a first ground conductor 130 disposed on at least a second surface 102. For example, the first surface 101 may be an upper surface of the first substrate 100, and the second surface 102 may be a lower surface of the first substrate 100.

Further, the first substrate 100 may include a first signal conductor 150 disposed on at least second 102.

The first substrate 100 according to the present exemplary embodiment may be a multi-layer substrate composed of a plurality of layers, and circuit patterns for forming electrical connections may be formed between each of the layers. In addition, the first substrate 100 according to the present exemplary embodiment may include circuit patterns formed in the first substrate 100 and a conductive via electrically connecting the circuit patterns to each other.

Further, a cavity (not illustrated) in which the electronic element 200 may be embedded may be formed in the first substrate 100 according to the present exemplary embodiment.

The plurality of electronic elements 200 may be mounted on the first surface and the second surface of the first substrate 100.

As an example, in a case in which the first substrate 100 includes the first signal conductor 100, the plurality of electronic elements 200 may be connected to the first signal conductor 150 (for example, a mounting pad).

The plurality of electronic elements 200 are not particularly limited, as long as they may be mounted on the substrate. For example, a component including a passive or active element, a circuit (for example, an integrated circuit (IC)), or a module may be mounted on each of the first and second surfaces 101 and 102 of the first substrate 100 as the electronic elements. As an example, the plurality of electronic elements 200 may include an integrated circuit (IC) such as a main IC, or the like, or a module such as a front end module (FEM), or the like.

The penetration part 310 may be used as a space in which the plurality of electronic elements 200 mounted on the second surface 102 of the first substrate 100 are accommodated. Therefore, the plurality of electronic elements 200 mounted on the second surface 102 of the first substrate 100 may be mounted at a position of the second surface 102 of the first substrate 100 facing the penetrating part 310 of the second substrate 300.

The molded portion 400 may be formed to encapsulate the plurality of electronic elements 200 mounted on the first surface 101 of the first substrate 100.

As an example, the molded portion 400 may be filled between the plurality of electronic elements 200 mounted on the first substrate 100, thereby preventing an electric short-circuit from occurring between the plurality of electronic elements 200. In addition, the molded portion 400 may fix the plurality of electronic elements 200 onto the first substrate 100 while enclosing outer portions of the plurality of electronic elements 200, thereby safely protecting the plurality of electronic elements from external impacts.

The molded portion 400 as described above may be formed of an insulating material including a resin material such as an epoxy, or the like. As an example, the molded portion 400 according to the exemplary embodiment in the present disclosure may be formed by seating the first substrate 100 of which the plurality of electronic elements 200 are mounted on the first surface 101 in a mold (not illustrated) and injecting a molding resin into the mold.

The shielding layer 500 may be formed on outer surfaces of the molded portion 400 and the first substrate 100 and at least a portion of a side surface of the second substrate 200, thereby shielding electromagnetic waves.

As an example, the shielding layer 500 may be connected to the second ground conductor 330 of the second substrate 300.

For example, the shielding layer 500 may be formed on the entire outer surface of the molded portion 400 and the entire side surface of the first substrate 200, and at least the portion of the side surface of the second substrate 300. As an example, the shielding layer 500 may be formed on the entire side surface of the second substrate 300 but is not limited thereto.

As an example, the shielding layer 500 may be electrically connected to a plurality of second ground conductors 330 formed in the second substrate 300, respectively.

The shielding layer 500 according to the exemplary embodiment in the present disclosure is not particularly limited to a specific material or raw material as long as it contains a material having conductivity.

In addition, although not illustrated, a wiring pattern for electrically connecting the mounting pads to each other, or the like, in addition to the mounting pad for mounting the plurality of electronic elements 200 may be formed on the first surface and the second surface of the first substrate 100.

Further, referring to FIG. 4, the second ground conductor 330 of the second substrate 300 may include a first connection conductor 331, an internal ground conductor 332, a second connection conductor 333, and a via conductor 334.

In this case, the first connection conductor 331 may be formed on the first surface 301 of the second substrate 300 to thereby be connected to the first ground conductor 130 of the first substrate 100, and the internal ground conductor 332 may be formed on an internal layer LY of the second substrate 300 to thereby be connected to the shielding layer 500. For example, the first surface 301 may be an upper surface of the second substrate 300, and the second surface 302 may be a lower surface of the second substrate 300.

The second connection conductor 333 may be formed on the second surface 302 of the second substrate 300 to thereby be connected to the outside. As an example, the second connection conductor 333 may electrically and physically connect the semiconductor package 10 and a main board (not illustrated) on which the semiconductor package 10 is mounted to each other.

The second signal conductor 350 of the second substrate 300 may include a first connection conductor 351, an internal conductor 352, a second connection conductor 353, and a via conductor 354.

In this case, the first connection conductor 351 may be formed on the first surface 301 of the second substrate 300 to thereby be connected to the first substrate 100 adhered to the first surface 301 of the second substrate 300.

The internal conductor 352 may be formed on the internal layer LY of the second substrate 300 to thereby be connected to the first connection conductor 351. The second connection conductor 353 may be formed on the second surface 302 of the second substrate 300 to thereby connect the semiconductor package 10 to an external electronic component or device. As an example, the second connection conductor 353 may electrically and physically connect the semiconductor package 10 and the main board (not illustrated) on which the semiconductor package 10 is mounted to each other.

In addition, the conductor via 354 may connect the first connection conductor 351, the internal conductor 352, and the second connection conductor 353 to one another.

Here, as the second substrate 300, various types of substrate (for example, a ceramic substrate, a printed circuit board, a flexible substrate, or the like) well known in the art may be used similarly to the first substrate 100. The second substrate 300 according to the present exemplary embodiment may be a multi-layer substrate composed of a plurality of layers, and circuit patterns (not illustrated) for forming electrical connections may be formed between each of the layers.

In addition, the second substrate 300 according to the present exemplary embodiment may be formed to a thickness thicker than a mounting height of the electronic element 200 mounted on the second surface 102 of the first substrate 100 in order to stably protect the electronic element 200 accommodated in the penetration part 310. However, the second substrate 300 is not limited thereto.

Therefore, a plurality of second connection conductors 333 of the second ground conductor 330 and a plurality of second connection conductors 353 of the second signal conductor 350 may be formed as illustrated in FIGS. 5A and 5B.

Further, the second connection conductor 333 of the second ground conductor 330 and the second connection conductor 353 of the second signal conductor 350, which are electrode pads formed on the second surface 302 of the second substrate 300, may be connected to the main board by a conductive adhesive member such as solder balls Sb1 and Sb2, a bump, or the like.

Further, the insulating layer 600 may improve adhesive force between the first and second substrates 100 and 300 while insulating the first and second substrates 100 and 300 from each other, thereby serving to improve reliability.

The insulating layer 600 as described above may be formed of an underfill resin. Therefore, a material of the insulating layer 600 may be an epoxy resin, or the like, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, although a case in which the insulating layer 600 is interposed between the first and second substrates 100 and 300 is described by way of example in the present exemplary embodiment, the insulating layer 600 is not limited thereto. That is, the insulating layer 600 may also be interposed in gaps between the first substrate 100 and the plurality of electronic elements 200 mounted on the second surface 102 of the first substrate 100. In this case, the insulating layer 600 may be entirely formed on the second surface 102 of the first substrate 100.
