Abstract:
A copper pillar bump semiconductor packaging method patterns an organic insulation layer formed under the copper pillar bumps to areas surrounding and in the vicinity of the copper pillar bumps only. The organic insulation layer, typically a thin film polymer layer, acts as a barrier layer for the copper pillar bumps to protect the semiconductor wafer during the copper pillar flip chip bonding process. The copper pillar bump semiconductor packaging method limits the areas where the organic insulation layer is applied to reduce the stress introduced to the semiconductor wafer by the organic insulation layer. In another embodiment, a copper pillar bump semiconductor packaging method patterns an organic insulation layer formed under the copper pillar bumps to areas surrounding the copper pillar bumps and along the path of a redistribution layer without using a large and continuous organic insulation layer.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die with an encapsulant deposited over the semiconductor die. A first insulating layer having high tensile strength and elongation is formed over the semiconductor die and encapsulant. A first portion of the first insulating layer is removed by a first laser direct ablation to form a plurality of openings in the first insulating layer. The openings extend partially through the first insulating layer or into the encapsulant. A second portion of the first insulating layer is removed by a second laser direct ablation to form a plurality of trenches in the first insulating layer. A conductive layer is formed in the openings and trenches of the first insulating layer. A second insulating layer is formed over the conductive layer. A portion of the second insulating layer is removed by a third laser direct ablation. Bumps are formed over the conductive layer.
Abstract:
Reliability of a semiconductor device is improved. A slope is provided on a side face of an interconnection trench in sectional view in an interconnection width direction of a redistribution layer. The maximum opening width of the interconnection trench in the interconnection width direction is larger than the maximum interconnection width of the redistribution layer in the interconnection width direction, and the interconnection trench is provided so as to encapsulate the redistribution layer in plan view.

Abstract:
Structures and methods of making a flip chip package that employ polyimide pads of varying heights at a radial distance from a center of an integrated circuit (IC) chip for a flip chip package. The polyimide pads may be formed under electrical connectors, which connect the IC chip to a chip carrier of the flip chip package, so that electrical connectors formed on polyimide pads of greater height are disposed at a greater radial distance from the center of the IC chip, while electrical connectors formed on polyimide pads of a lesser height are disposed more proximately to the center of the IC chip. Electrical connectors of a greater relative height to the IC chip's surface may compensate for a gap, produced by heat-induced warpage during the making of the flip chip package, that separates the electrical connectors on the IC chip from flip chip attaches on the chip carrier.
Abstract:
One embodiment provides a semiconductor package by forming a redistribution layer extending from a bonding pad of a semiconductor chip using a photoresist pattern plated with the seed layer. Fabrication of the semiconductor package is relatively simple thereby shortening a manufacturing time and reducing the manufacturing cost, and which can increase an adhered area of input/output terminals and can prevent delamination by connecting and welding the input/output terminals to a pair of redistribution layers.
