Background technology
Along with the development of portable electronic equipment, various light, thin, short and small packaging bodies constantly are developed, and the upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body is exactly an example wherein.In the upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body, chip (die) no longer is that joint sheet (bonding pad) is connected on the base plate for packaging via beating gold thread (wire bonding), but invertedly be connected on the base plate for packaging by solder projection (solder bump) or conducting polymer projection (conductivepolymer bump), so the upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body can improve current densities and reduce the ghost effect (parasitic effect) of circuit.However, for more speed and more highdensity package requirements, present upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body is still felt to feel inadequate, and therefore is necessary to develop the higher upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body of packaging density.
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the generalized section of existing flip-chip welded ball array packaging body 10.Shown in Figure 1, it is existing two-layer (two-layer) plate upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body 10, and it mainly includes a base plate for packaging (substrate) 12 and an IC chip (die) 14 is fixed on the surface of base plate for packaging 12.Base plate for packaging 12 includes two copper conductor layers (Cu trace layer) 16,18, is located at the both sides up and down of base plate for packaging 12 respectively, and a plurality of circuit pathways (via) 20 is used for connecting copper conductor layer 16 and copper conductor layer 18.
Upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body 10 includes convex pads (solder bump pad) 22 in addition, a plurality of tin ball pad (solder ball pad) 24 is located at the surface of copper conductor layer 16,18 respectively, and two green enamelled coatings (solder mask) 26,28 cover copper conductor layer 16,18 surfaces outside convex pads 22, the tin ball pad 24 respectively.Convex pads 22, tin ball pad 24 all are to be produced on the surface of copper conductor layer 16,18, and utilize green enamelled coating 26,28 as insulating barrier.
IC chip 14 surfaces are provided with a plurality of joint sheets (bonding pad) 30, and the position of joint sheet 30 is then corresponding to the position of the convex pads 22 of base plate for packaging 12.Upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body 10 is provided with a plurality of solder projections (solderbump) 32 between the convex pads 22 of the joint sheet 30 of IC chip 14 and base plate for packaging 12, be used for fixing and be electrically connected IC chip 14.Space between base plate for packaging 12 and the IC chip 14 can optionally be injected a bottom sealant (epoxy underfill layer) 34 and be filled up, and exempts to be influenced by the adverse circumstances with protection packaging body 10, eliminates the stress of solder projection 32 junctions simultaneously.
After upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body 10 is finished, utilize a plurality of soldering balls 36 that upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body 10 is fixed on a printed circuit board (PCB) (print circuit board again, PCB) on 38, upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body 10 and printed circuit board (PCB) 38 are electrically connected.
As shown in Figure 1, the electric current that IC chip 14 is exported is sent on the convex pads 22 of base plate for packaging 12 via solder projection 32, route via copper conductor layer 16-circuit pathways 20-copper conductor layer 18 is sent on the tin ball pad 24 again, and the electric current that last IC chip 14 is exported is sent on the printed circuit board (PCB) 38 via soldering ball 36.Same, printed circuit board (PCB) 38 also can be imported electric current within the IC chip 14 with opposite direction via same route.
Present employed upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body 10 can not repeatedly stacking above other packaging bodies, make the upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body 10 that individual layer can only be set on the printed circuit board (PCB) 38.When printed circuit board (PCB) 38 was provided with the upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body 10 of many difference in functionalitys, each upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body 10 all needed to take the area of printed circuit board (PCB) 38, made the packaging density of distributing board level (board level) further to improve.And in high speed circuit (high-speed circuitry), if multiple upside-down mounting chip BGA encapsulation body 10 is dispersed on the printed circuit board (PCB) 38, the synchronism of high-frequency signal (synchronization) can be subjected to the influence that electron circuit layout (layout) distributes, and can't obtain the signal of sequential unanimity.
But patent is invented and obtained to the encapsulating structure of at present existing some repeatedly stackings.For example: propose a kind of miniature stackable BGA packaging body (micro-BGAstacking scheme) in United States Patent (USP) case number 5,598,033 a case, but its structure is to adopt the mode of beating gold thread (wire bonding) to fix the IC chip.And another kind of stackable bga structure is then proposed in United States Patent (USP) case number 5,594,275 a cases, the same technology of beating gold thread that adopts fixes the IC chip, and is applied among SOJ (small out-line-J-lead) encapsulation field.
