Description

SEMICONDUCTOR DIE HAVING A REDISTRIBUTION LAYER
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a redistribution layer for a semiconductor device and methods of forming same.
Description of the Related Art
[0002] The strong growth in demand for portable consumer electronics is driving the need for high-capacity storage devices. Non-volatile semiconductor memory devices, such as flash memory storage cards, are becoming widely used to meet the ever-growing demands on digital information storage and exchange. Their portability, versatility and rugged design, along with their high reliability and large capacity, have made such memory devices ideal for use in a wide variety of electronic devices, including for example digital cameras, digital music players, video game consoles, PDAs and cellular telephones.
[0003] While a wide variety of packaging configurations are known, flash memory storage cards may in general be fabricated as system-in-a-package (SiP) or multichip modules (MCM), where a plurality of die are mounted and interconnected on a small footprint substrate. The substrate may in general include a rigid, dielectric base having a conductive layer etched on one or both sides. Electrical connections are formed between the die and the conductive layer(s), and the conductive layer(s) provide an electric lead structure for connection of the die to a host device. Once electrical connections between the die and substrate are made, the assembly is then typically encased in a molding compound to provide a protective package.
[0004] A top view of a conventional semiconductor package 20 (without molding compound) is shown in Fig. 1. Typical packages include a plurality of semiconductor die, such as die 22 and 24, affixed to a substrate 26. A plurality of die bond pads 28 may be formed on the semiconductor die 22, 24 during the die fabrication process. Similarly, a plurality of contact pads 30 may be formed on the substrate 26. Die 22 may be affixed to the substrate 26, and then die 24 may be mounted on die 22. Both die are then electrically coupled to the substrate by affixing wire bonds 32 between respective die bond pad 28 and contact pad 30 pairs.
[0005] Space within the semiconductor package is at a premium. Semiconductor die are often formed with bond pads along two adjacent sides, such as shown on die 24 in Fig. 1. However, owing to the significant real estate limitations, there may only be room on the substrate for a wire bond connection along one edge of the die. Thus, in Fig. 1, there are no contact pads along edge 34 of substrate 26 for connecting with die bond pads 28a.
[0006] One known method of handling this situation is through the use of a redistribution layer formed on a semiconductor die. After a semiconductor die is fabricated and singulated from the wafer, the die may undergo a process where electrically conductive traces and bond pads (traces 38 and bond pads 40, Fig. 1) are formed on the top surface of the die. Once formed, the traces 38 and bond pads 28a may be covered with an insulator, leaving only the newly formed die bond pads 40 exposed. The traces 38 connect the existing die bond pads 28a with the newly formed die bond pads 40 to effectively relocate the die bond pads to an edge of the die having a pin-out connection to the substrate. Additional contact pads 30 may be formed on the substrate to allow electrical connection between the substrate and the bond pads 28a. The additional contact pads 30 may be formed in-line with the remaining contact pads 30 as shown in prior art Fig. 1. Alternatively, where there is available space, the additional contact pads 30 may be staggered with the remaining contact pads as shown in prior art Fig. 2. [0007] Current photolithography and other methods for forming a redistribution layer on semiconductor die are cumbersome, adding large numbers of process steps and expense to the fabrication process. There is therefore a need for a streamlined process for forming a redistribution layer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a semiconductor device having a redistribution layer and methods of forming same. In an embodiment, after fabrication of semiconductor die on a wafer, a tape assembly is applied onto a surface of the wafer, in contact with the surfaces of each semiconductor die on the wafer. The tape assembly includes a backgrind tape as a base layer, and a film assembly adhered to the backgrind tape. The film assembly in turn includes an adhesive film on which is deposited a thin layer of conductive material.
[0009] The tape assembly is applied to the surface of the wafer so that the adhesive layer of the film assembly lies in contact with the surface of the wafer. When applied to the wafer. The adhesive is a b-stage adhesive which adheres to the wafer, but which is pliable and can be removed.
[0010] After the tape assembly is applied to the surface of the semiconductor wafer, focused heat, such as for example from a laser, is applied to the interface between the tape assembly and the wafer. The laser is programmed to focus its energy at the interface between the adhesive layer and the surface of the semiconductor wafer. At locations along the interface where the laser is applied, the adhesive layer is heated and cured to the surface of the semiconductor wafer so as to be permanently affixed to the semiconductor wafer along the path traced by the laser where heat is applied. [0011] The path of the laser is computer-controlled so as to trace out, on each semiconductor die, the pattern of the redistribution layer to be defined on each semiconductor die. By selectively focusing heat at the interface between the tape assembly and the wafer, the adhesive layer of the tape assembly may be fused to the surface of each semiconductor die along a thin and sharply defined path. The adhesive layer on either side of the paths defined by the focused heat remains in the b-stage, or otherwise uncured, and may be peeled away from the surface of the wafer while those areas which have been fused remain on the wafer surface. Accordingly, as the tape assembly is pulled away from the wafer, the heated areas of the film assembly tear away from the areas of film assembly which are not heated, and the heated areas of film assembly are left behind on the surfaces of each semiconductor die to define a redistribution layer pattern on each semiconductor die.

[0024] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to Figs. 3 through 12, which relate to a multiple die redistribution layer for a semiconductor device and methods of forming same. It is understood that the present invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the invention to those skilled in the art. Indeed, the invention is intended to cover alternatives, modifications and equivalents of these embodiments, which are included within the scope and spirit of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Furthermore, in the following detailed description of the present invention, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be clear to those of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention may be practiced without such specific details.
[0025] Referring now to Fig. 3, there is shown a top view of a semiconductor wafer 100 including a plurality of semiconductor die 102 (only some of which are numbered in Fig. 3). Each semiconductor die 102 on wafer 100 has been processed to include an integrated circuit as is known in the art capable of performing a specified electronic function. All of semiconductor die 102 on wafer 100 may have the same integrated circuit, though it is contemplated that different die may have different integrated circuits in alternative embodiments. As is known in the art, the respective integrated circuits may be tested during wafer fabrication to identify defective or bad die.
[0026] Upon completion of wafer fabrication testing, normally each of the die 102 would be singulated into individual die and thereafter assembled into a semiconductor package. However, according to an embodiment of the present invention, each semiconductor die may have a redistribution layer formed thereon as explained below. Fig. 3 further shows a roll 104 including a tape assembly 106 for forming the redistribution layer on the respective die 102 of wafer 100. The tape assembly 106 may have a width sufficient to be applied over the entire surface of wafer 100 as shown in Fig. 3. It is alternatively contemplated that tape assembly 106 has a width sufficient to cover only a single row of semiconductor die 102 on wafer 100 or two or more rows of semiconductor die 102.
[0027] Referring to the side view of Fig. 4, tape assembly 106 includes a polyimide tape 108, referred to as a backgrind tape as is known in the art, to which is affixed a film assembly 110. As shown in Fig. 5, film assembly 110 includes an adhesive layer 116 on which is deposited a conductive material 114. Adhesive material 116 may be any of a variety of known electrically insulating adhesive films, such as for example those available from Nitto Denko Corp. of Japan, Abel Stick Co., California or Henkel Corporation, California. Adhesive material 116 may for example be a curable b-stage adhesive which is sticky and pliable prior to being applied to wafer 100 and prior to being cured.
[0028] Conductive material 114 may be a variety of electrical conductors, such as for example aluminum, titanium, or alloys thereof. Conductive material 114 may be applied to the surface of adhesive layer 116 by a variety of known methods including for example sputtering, plating, screen printing, photolithographic processes, or a variety of other deposition processes. Such processes allow conductive material 114 to be applied with a very small thickness, such as for example between 1 and 5 microns, and more particularly between 1 and 3 microns. It is understood that the thickness of the conductive material 114 on adhesive layer 116 may be less than 1 micron and greater than 5 microns in alternative embodiments of the present invention.
[0029] Once film assembly 110 is formed, the film assembly is applied to backgrind tape 108 to form tape assembly 106. Tape 108 may also have an adhesive surface for adhering the conductive material 114 of the film assembly 110 to the backgrind tape 108. As seen in Figs. 3, 4 and 6, tape assembly 106 is applied onto semiconductor wafer 100 so that the adhesive layer 116 of tape assembly 106 is applied to the surfaces of the semiconductor die 102 on wafer 100. In the state which adhesive layer 116 is applied to the semiconductor wafer 100, the adhesive layer 116 is sticky and adheres to the surface of wafer 100. However, the adhesive layer 116 is not yet cured and, in this stage, the adhesive layer 116 may be pulled away from the surface of wafer 100.
[0030] In embodiments, after the tape assembly 106 is applied to the wafer, the backgrind tape 108 may be thinned in a backgrind process to thin the tape assembly 106. The backgrind process may be omitted in alternative embodiments.
[0031] Referring now to the side view of Fig. 6, after the tape assembly 106 is applied to the surface of semiconductor wafer 100, focused heat is applied to the interface between tape assembly 106 and the wafer 100 (and in particular, the interface between adhesive layer 116 and the surface of wafer 100). In embodiments, this focused heat may be applied by one of a variety of lasers 120, including for example CO2 lasers, UV lasers, YBO4 lasers, argon lasers, etc. Such lasers are manufactured for example by Rofin-Sinar Technologies of Hamburg, Germany. The laser is programmed to focus its energy at the interface between adhesive layer 116 and the surface of the semiconductor wafer 100. At locations along the interface where the laser is applied, the adhesive layer 116 is heated and cured to the surface of the semiconductor wafer so as to be permanently affixed to the semiconductor wafer along the path traced by the laser where heat is applied.
[0032] The path of the laser is computer-controlled so as to trace out, on each semiconductor die 102, the pattern of the redistribution layer to be defined on each semiconductor die 102. For example, as shown in Fig. 7, it may be desirable to redistribute a first pair of die bond pads 124 along the top edge of semiconductor die 102 to a pair of die bond pads 126 along an adjacent edge of semiconductor die 102. Accordingly, laser 120 will trace out the redistribution layer pattern including paths 130 and 132 on tape assembly 106 as shown in dash lines in Fig. 7. It is understood that paths 130 and 132 are by way of example only, and a wide variety of redistribution layer patterns may be traced out by laser 120 to redistribute die bond pads from a first location on each of the semiconductor die 102 to a second location on each of the semiconductor die 102. While a single laser 120 is shown in Fig. 6, it is understood that a plurality of lasers 120 may be used to simultaneously trace out the redistribution layer pattern on a plurality of semiconductor die.
[0033] By selectively focusing heat at the interface between the tape assembly 106 and wafer 100, as for example by laser 120, the adhesive layer 116 of tape assembly 106 may be fused to the surface of each semiconductor die 102 along a thin and sharply defined path. Significantly, the adhesive layer 116 on either side of the paths defined by the focused heat remains in the b-stage, or otherwise uncured, and may be peeled away from the surface of the wafer 100 as shown in Fig. 8, while those areas which have been fused remain on the wafer surface.
[0034] In those areas of tape assembly 106 not heated by the laser 120, the attractive force between film assembly 110 and the backgrind tape 108 of tape assembly 106 exceeds the attractive force between the film assembly 110 and the surface of the semiconductor wafer 100. Thus, upon peeling away the backgrind tape 108, the unheated areas of film assembly 110 are pulled away with the tape assembly 106. Conversely, for those areas heated by the laser, the attractive force between film assembly 110 and tape 108 is exceeded by the attractive force between the film assembly 110 and the surface of the semiconductor wafer 100. Accordingly, as shown in Fig. 8, as tape assembly 106 is pulled away from wafer 100, the heated areas of film assembly 110 tear away from the areas of film assembly which are not heated, and the heated areas of film assembly are left behind on the surfaces of each semiconductor die 102 to define a redistribution layer pattern 136 on each semiconductor die 102.
[0035] Referring now to Figs. 9 and 10, after the uncured portions of tape assembly 106 are removed from the semiconductor wafer 100, the wafer 100 is singulated into individual semiconductor die 102, each of which includes the redistribution layer pattern 136 as defined by the heat source. Fig. 10 is a top view of a singulated semiconductor die 102 including a redistribution layer pattern 136 for redistributing die bond pads 124 at the top of the die to die bond pads 126 along the adjacent edge of the die. In embodiments, the adhesive layer 116 on the surface of the semiconductor die is an electrical insulator. Thus, the further step of electrically coupling the conductive material 114 to the die bond pads 124 and 126 is next performed. A variety of processes are known for electrically coupling the conductive material of redistribution layer pattern 136 to die bond pads 124 and 126. After the pattern is electrically coupled to die bond pads 124 and 126, a passivation layer may be formed on the surface of semiconductor die 102 as is known to cover the exposed redistribution layer pattern 136 and, optionally, die bond pads 124. Die bond pads 126 remain exposed.
[0036] Fig. 11 illustrates an alternative method for forming a redistribution layer on die 102. Tape assembly 106 is applied to wafer 100, and a heat source such as a laser traces out the redistribution layer pattern 136 on each of the semiconductor die 102, as described above. However, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 11, at some point either before or after the tape assembly 106 is applied, the semiconductor wafer 100 is flipped over and is supported by the tape assembly 106 on a wafer chuck or the like. According to the embodiment of Fig. 11, the die 102 are singulated while still in contact with tape assembly 106. Thereafter, a robotic device 140, such as a pick and place robot, grips the back side of each semiconductor die 102 and pulls the respective die 102 away from tape assembly 106. As described above, those areas of the film assembly 110 which have been heated and fused to the surface of the respective semiconductor die 102 tear away from the backgrind tape 108 and remain with the semiconductor die 102 when robotic device 140 pulls the singulated die 102 away from tape assembly 106. The unheated portions of the film assembly 110 remain on tape assembly 106, on the wafer chuck.
[0037] It is understood that using the above-described redistribution layer process steps, one or more die bond pads may be redistributed from any first location to any second location on a semiconductor die 102 by a redistribution layer across the die formed at the wafer level. Referring now to Fig. 12, at the completion of the above-described steps, the die 102 may be mounted on a substrate 160. The die 102 may be the only die mounted on a substrate 160, or the die 102 may be mounted on substrate 160 along with one or more additional die 162 and passive components 164 as shown in Fig. 12. Thereafter, the die bond pads on die 102, and any other die, may be wire bonded to contact pads on substrate 160 using wire bonds 166 in a known wire bond process. In embodiments, the die and substrate together may function as a flash memory device 170, where die 102 may be a controller such as an ASIC or a flash memory die. The die 102 may be other than a controller or flash memory die in alternative embodiments, and the die and substrate together may be other than a flash memory device in alternative embodiments. In embodiments where the flash memory device 170 is a portable memory device, contact fingers 168 may further be provided on substrate 160 for exchanging signals between the device 170 and a host device within which the device 170 is inserted.
[0038] As explained in the Background of the Invention, in some package configurations, there is room for pin-out locations only along a single edge of a semiconductor die. The redistribution layer applied to semiconductor die 102 effectively redistributes the bond pads on the surface of the die 102 to where they can be easily bonded to substrate 160. The relative lengths and relative widths of the semiconductor die 102, semiconductor die 162 and substrate 160 shown in Fig. 12 is by way of example only and may vary widely in alternative embodiments of the present invention.
[0039] As shown in Fig. 12, after forming the stacked die configuration according to the above described embodiments, the individual semiconductor packages may be encased within the molding compound 168 to form a finished semiconductor die package 170. Molding compound 168 may be a known epoxy such as for example available from Sumitomo Corp. and Nitto Denko Corp., both having headquarters in Japan. The package 170 shown in Fig. 12 may be a finished portable memory card. Alternatively, the package 170 may be enclosed within a lid to form the completed portable memory card.
