Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • This invention relates to an inner-layer heat-dissipating board, a multi-chip stack package structure having the inner-layer heat-dissipating board and a fabrication method thereof, and, more particularly, to a multi-chip stack package structure that provides a heat-dissipating path and increases the overall structural rigidity in an stacked structure and a fabrication method thereof.
  • 2. Description of Related Art
  • With the rapid development of technology, a variety of novel products constantly come to the market. These products are designed to be increasingly low-profiled and compact sized, so as to meet the consumers' demands for ease of use and protability.
  • In addition to the characteristics of being low-profile and compact in size, modern electronic products are preferred to have high efficiency, low power consumption and high functionality as well. Accordingly, manufactures have developed a technique to dispose a plurality of semiconductor chips on a circuit board or a packing substrate, in order to increase the electrical functionality. However, only a limited number of semiconductor chips can be disposed on a single packaging substrate, in that the packaging substrate does not have a large enough area. Moreover, the planer disposition of the semiconductor chips on the packaging substrate is contradictory to the requirements of having a low-profile and compact size. To address this problem, a package structure has been designed to have a plurality of semiconductor chips stacked on one another. Such a package structure having the semiconductor chips stacked has a short transmission path, and characteristics of high efficiency, low power consumption and high functionality. Compared to the conventional package structure in which a plurality of semiconductor chips are disposed on a packaging substrate one by one, the package structure in which the semiconductor chips are stacked on one another may dramatically reduce the area of the packaging substrate.
  • Referring to FIG. 1, a multi-chip stack package structure is shown according to the prior art. A first semiconductor chip 11 is electrically connected through solder balls 110 to a packaging substrate 10. A second semiconductor chip 12 is stacked on the first semiconductor chip 11. A third semiconductor chip 13 is stacked on the second semiconductor chip 12. The second semiconductor chip 12, and the third semiconductor chip 13 are electrically connected to the packaging substrate 10 by solder wires 14 in a wire bonding manner.
  • However, the second semiconductor chip 12 has to be smaller than the first semiconductor chip 11 and the third semiconductor chip 13 also has to be smaller than the second semiconductor chip 12, such that the first and second semiconductor chips 11 and 12 may provide an area on top for the solder wires 14 to be bonded thereon. As a result, a limited number of semiconductor chips may be installed on the packaging substrate. On the other hand, the solder wires 14 are in the shape of an arc, which also limits the reduction of the volume of the package structure.
  • In order to solve the problems, enhance the electrical functionality and transmission efficiency, and meet the trends toward functional integration, semiconductor manufacturers have developed a technique that vertically stack on a packaging substrate a plurality of semiconductor chips each of which has through-silicon vias (TSVs) in which a conductive material is filled, to constitute a semiconductor package structure. The semiconductor package structure not only has good electrical functionality and enhanced electrical transmission efficiency, but can also meet the demands of high-end electronic products.
  • Referring to FIG. 2A, a multi-chip stack package structure with TSVs is shown. A plurality of TSV chips 21 are stacked on and electrically connected to a packaging substrate 20 by solder balls 201. A semiconductor chip 22 is disposed on the very top one of the TSV chips 21.
  • However, heat generated by the TSV chips 21, particularly those disposed in the middle of the stack, is difficult to dissipate to a region outside of the stack, since the gaps between any two adjacent ones of the TSV chips 21 are very small. If the temperature goes too high, it may severely impact the operation of the TSV chips 21, or even damage the TSV chips 21.
  • To address the above problem, a metal heat-dissipating sheet 23 is further adhered to a surface of the semiconductor chip 22 that is exposed to air, as shown in FIG. 2B. As a result, heat generated by the TSV chips 21 disposed in the middle of the stack may be dissipated through a conductive material such as the solder balls 201 and the TSVs to the metal heat-dissipating sheet 23.
  • However, heat generated by the TSV chips 21 in the middle of the stack needs to travel a long path to arrive at the metal heat-dissipating sheet 23, which reduces the heat-dissipating efficiency. Moreover, the metal heat-dissipating sheet 23 that is disposed on the semiconductor chip 22 should not have an area much greater than that of the semiconductor chip 22, or adherence and stress problems may occur, and the semiconductor chip 22 may be easily broken.
  • Therefore, finding a way to provide an inner layer heat-dissipating board, a multi-chip stack package structure having the inner layer heat-dissipating board and fabrication method thereof is becoming one of the most popular issues in the art.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

  • The conductive through holes may be made by: forming on a surface of the metal board body a resist layer having a plurality of openings, allowing the openings to expose a portion of the metal board body; oxidizing the exposed portion of the metal board body to form oxidative blocks; patterning and etching the oxidative blocks to form the nano apertures in the oxidative blocks; forming the nano wires in the nano apertures; and exposing the oxidative blocks and the nano wires from the metal board body, so as to form the conductive through holes.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • The following illustrative embodiments are provided to illustrate the present invention and its advantages, these and other advantages and effects being readily understood by those in the art after reading the disclosure of this specification. The present invention can also be performed or applied by different embodiments. The details of the specification are on the basis of specific applications, and numerous modifications and variations can be devised without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
  • To obtain a multi-chip stack package structure according to the present invention, an embodiment of a method of fabricating an inner-layer heat-dissipating board is shown in FIGS. 3A to 3G according to the present invention.
  • As shown in FIG. 3A, a metal board body 30 made of aluminum, for example, is provided.
  • As shown in FIG. 3B, a resist layer 31 is formed on a surface of the metal board body 30, and is patterned to form a plurality of openings 310 that expose a portion of the metal board body 30.
  • As shown in FIG. 3C, the portion of the metal board body 30 exposed in the openings 310 is oxidized to form a plurality of oxidative blocks 301 that may or may not penetrate into the metal board body 30, as shown in the embodiment. In an embodiment of the present invention, the oxidative blocks 301 are made of aluminum.
  • As shown in FIGS. 3D and 3D-1, the oxidative blocks 301 are etched in a dry or wet etching process, so as to form a plurality of nano apertures 301 a in each of the oxidative blocks 301.
  • As shown in FIGS. 3E and 3E-1, nano wires 301 b are deposited in the nano apertures 301 a in an electroplated or chemical deposition process. In physics, the nano wires 301 b are defined having a traverse length less than 100 nano meters (without limitation in longitudinal length). In an embodiment of the present invention, each of the nano wires 301 b has a width less than or equal to 100 nano meters, or has an aspect ratio greater than 1000. The nano wires 301 b are made of metal, such as copper, nickel, platinum or gold.
  • As shown in FIGS. 3F and 3F-1, end surfaces of the oxidative blocks 301 and the nano wires 301 b are exposed from the metal board body 30, so as to form conductive through holes 32. In practice, the conductive through holes 32 are made by polishing or etching a surface of the metal board body 30 that opposes the surface of the metal board body 30 on which the resist layer 31 is formed, i.e., removing a surface of the metal board body 30 on which the resist layer 31 is not formed, so as to expose the oxidative block 301 and the nano wires 301 b and form the conductive through holes 32. Another embodiment of the method according to the present invention further comprises, before exposing the oxidative blocks 301 and the nano wires 301 b, removing the resist layer 31. For example, as shown in FIG. 3E (with reference to FIG. 3B), the resist layer 31 is removed before the end surfaces of the oxidative block 301 and the nano wires 301 b are exposed from the metal board body 30, or after the metal board body 30 is polished or etched.
  • As shown in FIG. 3G, a plurality of first bumps 33 a such as bumps made of solder, are formed on end surfaces of the conductive through holes 32, such that the first bumps 33 a are formed on both end surfaces of the conductive through holes 32. Copper pillars may be formed on the end surfaces of the conductive through holes 32 before the formation of the conductive through holes 32.
  • According to the embodiments of the above method, the present invention provides an inner-layer heat-dissipating board, comprising: a metal board body 30 made of aluminum, for example; a plurality of conductive through holes 32 penetrating the top and bottom surfaces of the metal board body 30, each of the conductive through holes 32 including a plurality of nano wires 301 b and an oxidative block 301 having a plurality of nano apertures 301 a filled with the nano wires 301 b.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the inner-layer heat-dissipating board may further comprise a plurality of first bumps 33 a disposed on end surfaces of the conductive through holes 32.
  • Referring to FIGS. 3H to 3I, a method of fabricating a multi-chip stack package structure is shown having the inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3.
  • As shown in FIG. 3H, a first chip 34 a and an electronic component such as a second chip 34 b are disposed on a first surface 3 a and a second surface 3 b of the inner-layer heat-dissipating board, respectively. The electronic component is not limited to be the second chip, and may be a circuit board. The first and second chips 34 a and 34 b may have a TSV design, or comprise circuits disposed on top and bottom surfaces thereof that are electrically connected to the conductive through holes 32. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first chip 34 a and the second chip 34 b may be electrically connected to the first bumps 33 a disposed on the end surfaces of the conductive through holes 32 of the inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3 through conductive elements such as solder balls. The conductive elements may comprise metal pillars and metal bumps formed on the metal pillar that are made of solder balls, such as metal pillars 33 d formed on electrode pads 331 on a bottom surface of the second chip 34 b and third bumps 33 c formed on the metal pillar 33 d. Of course, the conductive elements have a structure that may be applied to other chips or inner-layer heat-dissipating boards. In general, corresponding electrode pads 331 are formed on surfaces of two chips disposed on the first and second surfaces 3 a and 3 b of the inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3, respectively. For instance, the electrode pads 331 are disposed on a bottom surface of the first chip 34 a and electrically connected to the conductive through holes 32 of the inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3; the electrode pads 331 are disposed on a top surface of the second chip 34 b and electrically connected to the conductive through holes 32 of the inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3; and the electronic pads 331 disposed on the bottom surface of the second chip 34 b may be disposed with and electrically connected to other inner-layer heat-dissipating board or electronic components, such as circuit boards or chips. The inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3 may provide a fast heat-dissipating path in the multi-chip stack structure, to overcome the drawback that heat-dissipating efficiency is reduced due to the disposition of the chips in the middle of the stack. Moreover, the present invention takes a metal board body having oxidative blocks as an inner-layer heat-dissipating board, such that the multi-chip stack package structure has an increased overall structural rigidity, reducing the risk of the multi-chip stack package structure from being damaged.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the circuit board 35 may be a motherboard or a packaging substrate.
  • An underfill material 36 may be further formed between the circuit board 35 and the second chip 34 b, or between the circuit board 35 and the third chip 34 b′; or between the inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3′ and the third chip 34 b′ and the second chip 34 b, and may be made of a material the same as or different from the underfill material 36 formed between the inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3 and the first chip 34 a and between the inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3 and the second chip 34 b.
  • According to the embodiments of the above method, the present invention also provides a multi-chip stack package structure having an inner-layer heat-dissipating board, comprising: an inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3 including a metal board body 30 and a plurality of conductive through holes 32 penetrating the metal board body 30, each of the conductive through holes 32 including a plurality of nano wires 301 b and an oxidative block 301 having a plurality of nano apertures 301 a filled with the nano wires 301 b; a first chip 34 a disposed on a first surface 3 a of the inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3; and an electronic component such as a second chip 34 b disposed on a second surface 3 b of the inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3, and electrically connecting the first chip 34 a and the second chip 34 b to the conductive through holes, the first surface 3 a opposing the second surface 3 b.

Moreover, if the top surface of the electronic component of the second chip 34 b is disposed on the inner-layer heat-dissipating board 3, the multi-chip stack package structure may further comprise a circuit board 35 disposed on a bottom surface of the second chip 34 b.
