Embodiment
Please with reference to Figure 1A, it illustrates the cutaway view according to the semiconductor structure of one embodiment of the invention.Semiconductor structure 10 comprises substrate 12, semiconductor chip 100 and primer (underfill) 14, and wherein primer 14 is formed between substrate 12 and the semiconductor chip 100.
Semiconductor chip 100 comprises base material 110 and at least one stepped conductive pole 120, and wherein stepped conductive pole 120 is formed on the base material 110.In the present embodiment, the spacing W of adjacent two-stepped conductive pole 120 makes semiconductor chip 100 belong to the semiconductor chip field of thin space (fine pitch) less than 100 microns.In the present embodiment, base material 110 for example is a Silicon Wafer, and right present embodiment is not limited to this.
Stepped conductive pole 120 is formed at base material 110 and comprises first conductive pole 121 and second conductive pole 122.Second conductive pole 122 is formed on first conductive pole 121; And the sectional area of second conductive pole 122 (like cross sectional area) is less than the sectional area of first conductive pole 121; Make stepped conductive pole 120 provide one more high surface area (equaling the sectional area of first conductive pole 121 compared to the sectional area of second conductive pole 122) contact with primer 14, and then make primer 14 more closely coat stepped conductive pole 120.In the present embodiment; Whole second conductive pole 122 is overlapped in first conductive pole 121; The right embodiment of the invention is not as limit, and second conductive pole 122 and first conductive pole 121 also can partly overlap, i.e. second conductive pole 122 and first conductive pole 121 distance that laterally staggers.
For the semiconductor chip of thin space,,, so possibly cause intactly coated with conductive post of primer so increased the resistance that primer flows between base material and substrate because the spacing of adjacent two conductive poles is quite little.Review present embodiment; Because the sectional area of second conductive pole 122 is less than the sectional area of first conductive pole 121; The accommodation space of primer 14 is increased, so can reduce the resistance that primer 14 flows between base material 110 and substrate 12, under this design; Even stepped conductive pole 120 is applied to the semiconductor chip of thin space, still can make primer 14 intactly coat whole stepped conductive pole 120.
The volume of first conductive pole 121 can less than, be equal to or greater than the volume of second conductive pole 122, for example, the volume of first conductive pole 121 can be between between 0.1 to 5 times of the volume of second conductive pole 122, so this multiple scope is not in order to the restriction embodiment of the invention.In addition, the material of stepped conductive pole 120 for example is a copper, and the material of right stepped conductive pole 120 also can be alloy or other metal not as limit.
Shown in Figure 1A, the height H 1 of first conductive pole 121 is between about 2 to 50 microns, and preferably between about 2 to 20 microns, and the height H 2 of second conductive pole 122 is greater than 15 microns.Among one embodiment, the height H 2 of second conductive pole 122 is between between 3 to 6 times of the height H 1 of first conductive pole 121, and is preferable but non-exclusively 4 times.Under above-mentioned size relationship, can keep the intensity of second conductive pole 122, semiconductor chip 100 is located in the process on the substrate 12, second conductive pole 122 is difficult for bursting apart (cracking) or can burst apart too seriously.In addition; When the ratio of the height H 1 of the height H 2 of second conductive pole 122 and first conductive pole 121 is too high (slenderness ratio is too big); Cause the electrical quality of stepped conductive pole 120 to descend easily; In the present embodiment, because the height H 2 of second conductive pole 122 is between between 3 to 6 times of the height H 1 of first conductive pole 121, so can keep the electrical quality of stepped conductive pole 120.
Shown in Figure 1A, stepped conductive pole 120 more comprises scolder (solder) 130, and it is formed on the end face of second conductive pole 122, can help stepped conductive pole 120 firmly to be formed on the substrate 12.Among one embodiment, the D outer diameter 1 of scolder 130 greater than or equal 10 microns in fact.When the D outer diameter 1 of scolder 130 is equal to or less than 10 microns, can make semiconductor chip 100 become the semiconductor chip of thin space.The position of stepped conductive pole 120 is corresponding to the connection pad 13 of substrate 12, can make the circuit of semiconductor chip 100 be electrically connected at the connection pad 13 of substrate 12 through stepped conductive pole 120.

As shown in Figure 3, form at least one recess R between first 3211 and the second portion 3212.Because the formation of recess R makes first conductive pole 321 provide extra surface area (sidewall area of recess R) to contact with primer 14 (Figure 1A), and then makes primer 14 more closely coat first conductive pole 321.Coupling part 3213 connects first 3211 and second portion 3212; And the sectional area of coupling part 3213 is less than the sectional area of first 3211 and second portion 3212, so can provide the surface area of more (compared to omitting coupling part 3213) to contact with primer 14.
Among another embodiment, first conductive pole 421 that first conductive pole 321 of stepped conductive pole 320 can similar Fig. 4 replaces.
