[background technology]
Now; The semiconductor packages industry develops the packaging structure that various different types gradually in order to satisfy the demand of various high-density packages, and wherein common packaging structure with substrate (substrate) comprises ball grid array packaging structure (ball grid array; BGA), pin array packaging structure (pin grid array; PGA), the crosspoint array packaging structure (land grid array, chip encapsulation construction LGA) or on the substrate (board on chip, BOC) etc.In above-mentioned packaging structure, a upper surface of said substrate carries at least one chip, and several connection pads of chip is electrically connected to several weld pads of the upper surface of said substrate through routing (wire bonding) or projection (bumping) manufacture process.Simultaneously, a lower surface of said substrate also must provide a large amount of weld pads, to weld several outputs.Said substrate can be the printed circuit board (PCB) of single or multiple lift; It is except providing the surface circuit layer to form the required weld pad on upper and lower surface; Its inside also have at least one in circuit layer and several vias, with the annexation of the weld pad of rearranging upper and lower surface.Moreover, in order to satisfy the demand of various small-sized high density encapsulation, therefore how to make the thinner thin base plate for packaging of thickness, also be an important key technology of encapsulation industry.
Traditionally, thin base is meant that thickness of slab is not more than the substrate of 0.2mm, and wherein the thickness of slab of ultra-thin substrate then is not more than 0.1mm.Yet, because thickness of slab is too thin, the restriction of the levelling line when adding the board conveying substrate (horizontal) ability, thin base tends to run into that bow warping (warpage), sheet material are broken, sheet material snaps in the medium problem of board roller.Therefore, if be to make thin base only, certainly will cause the massive losses and the warpage degree of the yields (yield) of thin base to surpass preassigned according to the manufacture method of traditional slab.Simultaneously, thin base is difficult to also guarantee that thin base is not because of rocking or external force collision damages in a dead lift process.According to statistics, the thin base yields loss that causes owing to above shortcoming can reach about 30%.Therefore, the manufacturing technology of exploitation thin base becomes relative reduction packaging cost, promotes the necessary problem of the market competitiveness.
