More specifically, the through interposer vias which are not located at the fringe or corner of all the through interposer vias can be enclosed within at least two distinct polygonal-packing units (referring to FIG. 2 ).
- borders of a polygonal-packing unit may be formed by the outline enclosing a group of through interposer vias.

- With semiconductor packaging, the semiconductor product could be more compactly integrated, and provide a better performance with greater miniaturization. As a consequence, methods for fabricating semiconductor packages, such as wire bonding, flip chip, and wafer level packaging, are developed to fulfill different demands. Some of the methods for fabricating semiconductor packages may adopt interposer layers with a customized connection configuration to assemble the semiconductor packages. However, the customized connection configuration of the interposer layers would be re-designed in every semiconductor packages, and demands corresponding photomasks to fabricate. To some extent, every semiconductor packages needs a different photomask for fabricating the interposer layers. As a consequence, the photomasks may greatly increase the cost of fabricating different semiconductor packages. Therefore, the fabrication of the semiconductor packages and the available structure of semiconductor packages, as described above, apparently exist inconvenience and defect, which needs further improvement. To deal with the aforesaid problem, practitioners of ordinary skill in the art have striven to attain a solution, and the problem still lacks a suitable solution to be developed. Therefore, to deal with the aforesaid problem effectively is an important subject of research and development, and also a desired improvement in the art.

The interposer layer, having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, includes through interposer vias embedded inside.

- Reference is made to
FIG. 1 .FIG. 1 illustrates a flowchart of amethod 100 for fabricating semiconductor packages according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown inFIG. 1 , themethod 100 begins with step S101 in which an interposer layer is provided. The interposer layer, having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, includes through interposer vias (TIVs) embedded inside. Conductive material can be filled into the through interposer vias to form conductive paths for further electrically connection. The through interposer vias are extended from the first surface toward the second surface; and moreover, the through interposer vias are grouped and patterned to form polygonal-packing units. In some embodiments, the polygonal-packing units can be formed repetitively, and one of the polygonal-packing units can be partially overlapped with at least one another polygonal-packing unit. In some embodiments, the through interposer vias can be grouped and patterned to form hexagonal-packing units (referring toFIG. 2 ). In other embodiments, the through interposer vias can be grouped and patterned to form square-packing units (referring toFIGS. 10A-10D ). In other embodiments, the through interposer vias can be grouped and patterned to form closed-packing units, in which the through interposer vias can form densely to occupy most area of the interposer layer and adapt various arrangement. In some embodiments, part of the through interposer vias can be grouped within at least two distinct polygonal-packing units. More specifically, the through interposer vias which are not located at the fringe or corner of all the through interposer vias can be enclosed within at least two distinct polygonal-packing units (referring toFIG. 2 ). - It should be noted that, the polygonal-packing unit and the through interposer vias, drawn herein, is only an exemplary, and not intended to limit the present disclosure. In some embodiments, borders of a polygonal-packing unit may be formed by the outline enclosing a group of through interposer vias. In other embodiments, borders of a polygonal-packing unit may be formed by connecting the centers of through interposer vias within a group. In some embodiments, diameters of each of the through interposer vias within a group can be spreading instead of single-sized through interposer vias. For example, through interposer vias may have two or more different diameters, and a polygonal-packing unit can be formed repetitively with the spreading-sized through interposer vias. In some embodiments, length of each borders of a polygonal-packing unit can also be varied. It should be understood that the polygonal-packing unit and the through interposer vias, described herein, could be adjusted to actual demand by those skilled in the art, without departed from the scope or the spirits of the present disclosure. That is, the prerequisite of the through interposer vias is formed to provide adequate conductive routes for connecting between semiconductor devices and electrical bumps.
- Subsequently, the
method 100 continues with step S102 in which at least one first redistribution layer are formed on the first surface of the interposer layer. The first redistribution layer includes first conductive routes formed and embedded inside the substrate of the first redistribution layer. One end of some of the first conductive routes may be connected to one of the through interposer vias, and another end of the said first conductive routes may be exposed on a surface of the first redistribution layer away from the interposer layer to form first terminals. On the other hand, the first terminals are formed on the surface of the first redistribution layer away from the interposer layer, and the first terminals are selectively connected or routed to the through interposer vias respectively. The first terminals are configured to be electrically connected to the semiconductor device, for example, semiconductor chips, semiconductor package . . . etc. - Subsequently, the
method 100 continues with step S103 in which the interposer layer is thinned from the second surface, to expose ends of the through interposer vias proximal to the second surface. In other embodiments, the ends of the through interposer vias proximal to the second surface can be exposed while the interposer layer is provided. Subsequently, themethod 100 continues with step S104 in which at least one second redistribution layer is formed on the second surface. The second redistribution layer includes second conductive routes formed and embedded inside the substrate of the first redistribution layer. One end of some of the second conductive routes are connected to one of the through interposer vias connected with the first conductive routes, and another end of the second conductive routes are exposed on a surface of the second redistribution layer away from the interposer layer to form second terminals. On the other hand, the second terminals are formed on the surface of the second redistribution layer away from the interposer layer, and the second terminals are selectively routed to the first terminals through the through interposer vias respectively. - Subsequently, the
method 100 continues with step S105 in which at least one semiconductor device, for example, semiconductor chip, is disposed on the first redistribution layer. The semiconductor device may include active surfaces, and the active surfaces can be electrically connected to the first terminals respectively. Subsequently, themethod 100 continues with step S106 in which electrical bumps can be disposed on the second terminals for being electrically connected to the corresponding semiconductor device. - Owing to the interposer layer provided in
method 100 includes the through interposer vias designed to fit all connection configurations, any semiconductor packages can be fabricated by adopting the interposer layer. More specifically, while the interposer layer is adopted, conductive routes connected between the first terminals and the corresponding second terminals can be established through the through interposer vias of the interposer layer respectively; and moreover, the semiconductor devices can be electrically connected to the corresponding electrical bumps through the first terminals and the second terminals. In other words, the size of an opening formed on the first redistribution layer exposing the first terminals, or the contact pad formed on the opening, can be adjusted for actual demands, such that the through interposer vias can be adopted for electrically connected to various-sized pads in different semiconductor devices. Therefore, the through interposer vias of the interposer layer and collaborated redistribution layers may provide the method 100 a greater compatibility and feasibility for adapting various sizes of different semiconductor devices and bumps, and even, spreading locations of the disposed semiconductor devices and bumps can also be adapted. Furthermore, owing to the interposer layer only needs a single photomask to fabricate compared to using different customized photomasks in different cases, themethod 100 employed the one-fit-all interposer layer instead of customized interposer layers may save the cost of the fabrication. - In addition, owing to the material of the through interposer vias has a greater mechanical strength compared to the material of the substrate formed the interposer layer, the through interposer vias may enhance the interposer layer. As a consequence, the interposer layer embedded inside the semiconductor packages can assist the semiconductor packages to resist force-induced warpage. Furthermore, the through interposer vias patterned regularly to form repetitive polygonal-packing units can avoid or prevent inhomogeneous distribution of the through interposer vias from generating unbalance force to induce warpage.
- In some embodiments, the
method 100 may further include bonding the electrical bumps onto a packaging substrate, to form semiconductor packages. In some embodiments, themethod 100 may further include singulating the semiconductor packages. The semiconductor packages are singulated along predetermined scribe lines. In some embodiments, the scribe lines may cut across the through interposer vias. In some embodiments, the through interposer vias being cut may be the through interposer vias disconnected with the first terminals and second terminals. - Reference is then made to
FIGS. 2-8 .FIG. 2 illustrates a top view of aninterposer layer 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.FIG. 3 toFIG. 8 illustrate simplified fragmentary cross-sectional views of asemiconductor package 300 at various stages according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring toFIG. 2 , theinterposer layer 200 includes asubstrate 220 and throughinterposer vias 240 embedded inside thesubstrate 220. The throughinterposer vias 240 can be grouped and patterned to form polygonal-packingunits 260, for example, the polygonal- 260A, 260B, 260C . . . etc. In some embodiments, the polygonal-packingpacking unit units 260 can be formed repetitively. At least one of the polygonal-packingunits 260 is partially overlapped with at least one another polygonal-packing unit 260. For example, the polygonal-packing unit 260B is partially overlapped with the polygonal-packing unit 260C. On the other hand, in some embodiment, the throughinterposer vias 240 can be sorted as non-fringe throughinterposer vias 242 and fringe throughinterposer vias 244, and each of the non-fringe throughinterposer vias 242 can be grouped within at least two distinct polygonal-packingunits 260. For example, a non-fringe through interposer via 242 grouped within the polygonal-packing unit 260B can also be grouped within the polygonal-packing unit 260C. - Reference is then made to
FIG. 3 , which may correspond to step S101. As shown inFIG. 3 , theinterposer layer 200 has afirst surface 202 and asecond surface 204 opposite to thefirst surface 202. In some embodiments, the throughinterposer vias 240 are extended from thefirst surface 202 toward thesecond surface 204. Ends of the throughinterposer vias 240 proximal to thesecond surface 204 may be covered firstly, and then the ends can be exposed in subsequent processes. In other embodiments, the ends of the throughinterposer vias 240 proximal to thesecond surface 204 can be exposed while theinterposer layer 200 is provided. - Reference is then made to
FIG. 4 , which may correspond to step S102. As shown inFIG. 4 , at least onefirst redistribution layer 320 can be formed on thefirst surface 202. In some embodiments, firstconductive routes 322 can be formed in thefirst redistribution layer 320. More specifically, in some embodiments, thefirst redistribution layer 320 can be formed in the manner that forming the firstconductive routes 322 on at least one substrate layer having opening exposed underlying conductive feature, such as the throughinterposer vias 240, and another substrate can be formed with an opening to expose the firstconductive routes 322 on different location for further bonding. The substrate can be formed by passivation material or dielectric material. One end of the firstconductive route 322 may be connected to one of the throughinterposer vias 240, and another end of the firstconductive route 322 can formfirst terminals 324 on a surface of thefirst redistribution layer 320 away from theinterposer layer 200. Therefore, the first throughinterposer vias 240 can be sorted into selected throughinterposer vias 246 connected with thefirst terminals 324, and unselected throughinterposer vias 248 covered by thefirst redistribution layer 320. On the other hand, each of the throughinterposer vias 240 can be configured to be a selected through interposer via 246 or an unselected through interposer via 248 firstly, and then selectively routing the selected throughinterposer vias 246 tofirst terminals 324 through thefirst redistribution layer 320 respectively. - In some embodiments, the semiconductor packages 300 may include first redistribution layers 320. The selected through
interposer vias 246 routed to thefirst terminals 324 can be picked through different layer of the first redistribution layers 320. For example, a selected throughinterposer vias 246 can be routed through the firstconductive route 322A, routed in each of the first redistribution layers 320. For example, another selected throughinterposer vias 246 can be routed through the firstconductive route 322B, routed from another layer of the first redistribution layers 320. For example, an unselected throughinterposer vias 246 can be blocked while the firstconductive route 322C is ended up within the first redistribution layers 320. It should be noted that, the conductive routes formed between thefirst terminals 324 and the throughinterposer vias 240, described herein, is only an exemplary, and not intended to limit the present disclosure. - Reference is then made to
FIG. 5 andFIG. 6 , which may correspond to steps S103, S104 respectively. As shown inFIG. 5 , theinterposer layer 200 may be thinned from thesecond surface 204, to expose ends of the throughinterposer vias 240 on thesecond surface 204′. Subsequently, as shown inFIG. 6 , at least onesecond redistribution layer 340 can be formed beneath thesecond surface 204′. In some embodiments, secondconductive routes 342 can be formed inside thesecond redistribution layer 340. In some embodiments, one end of the secondconductive route 342 can be connected to one of the throughinterposer vias 240 connected with thefirst terminal 324, such as a selected throughinterposer vias 246. Another end of the secondconductive route 342 can formsecond terminals 344 on a surface of thesecond redistribution layer 340 away from theinterposer layer 200. On the other hand, each of thesecond terminals 344 can be routed to thefirst terminals 324 through the selected throughinterposer vias 246 respectively - Referring to
FIG. 7 andFIG. 8 , which may correspond to steps S105, S106.Electrical bumps 350 can be disposed on thesecond terminals 344. In some embodiments, at least onesemiconductor device 360 can be disposed on thefirst terminals 324. In some embodiments, thesemiconductor device 360 may be a semiconductor chip or a semiconductor package . . . etc. In some embodiments, thesemiconductor device 360 may haveactive surfaces 362. Theactive surfaces 362 of thesemiconductor device 360 can be electrically connected to thefirst terminal 324 through theconductive columns 364. As a consequence, thesemiconductor device 360 can be electrically connected to theelectrical bumps 350 through conductive routes formed between thefirst terminals 324 and thesecond terminals 344, such as the firstconductive routes 322, the throughinterposer vias 240, and the secondconductive routes 342 . . . etc. In some embodiments, apackaging substrate 370 can be bonded to theelectrical bumps 350, to form the semiconductor packages 300. - Reference is made to
FIG. 9 .FIG. 9 illustrates a simplified fragmentary top view of 300A, 300B according to various embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the dotted-line circles represent selected throughsemiconductor packages interposer vias 246 electrically connected to firstconductive routes 322, and the solid line circles represent unselected throughinterposer vias 248. As shown inFIG. 9 , asaw street 400 for singulating the semiconductor packages 300A, 300B, is located between thesemiconductor package 300A andsemiconductor package 300B. In some embodiment, thesaw street 400 may trespass and cut through the unselected throughinterposer vias 248 to split the unselected throughinterposer vias 248 into at least two parts, and avoid the firstconductive routes 322 and the selected throughinterposer vias 246 from being cut. Therefore, while the semiconductor packages 300A, 300B being separated along thesaw street 400, the firstconductive routes 322 and the selected throughinterposer vias 246 can remain intact and functioning. Referring toFIG. 7 , in some embodiment, the semiconductor package can also be singulated from an area without the firstconductive routes 322, the secondconductive routes 342 and the throughinterposer vias 240. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , in some embodiments, the throughinterposer vias 240 are substantially equal to each other, such as size, diameter, radius of curvature of the throughinterposer vias 240 are substantially equal. In some embodiments, a distance between the geometric center of a through interposer via 240 and an adjacent one of the surrounding throughinterposer vias 240 can be a substantially constant. That is, a distance between the geometry center of a through interposer via 240 to a geometry center among the surrounded and closest throughinterposer vias 240 is substantially equal to a distance between the geometry center of the through interposer via 240 to another geometry center among the surrounded and closest throughinterposer vias 240. For example, as shown in the hexagonal-packing unit 260D, each of distances d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, d6 may represent distance between the geometric center of the centered through interposer via 240 to a geometric center of one of the surrounded throughinterposer vias 240, such that distances d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, d6 can be substantially equal. Therefore, the throughinterposer vias 240 can form polygonal-packing units. For example, the throughinterposer vias 240 may form hexagonal-packing 260A, 260B, 260C and 260D.units - In addition, in some embodiment, the hexagonal-packing

In some embodiment, distances d7, d8 measured from the geometric center of a through interposer via 520 to the geometric centers of the surrounded and closest throughinterposer vias 520, formed on theinterposer layer 500, can be adjusted to fulfill various demands. For example, in some embodiments, the distance d7 can be differed from the distance d8. In other embodiments, the distances d7, d8 can be substantially equal. In other words, the closest distances between any two adjacent through interposer via 520 can be substantially equal. That is, the rectangle-packingunit 540 can be a square-packing unit in some cases. In some embodiment, the throughinterposer vias 520 of theinterposer layer 500 can be fabricated in the manner that duplicating the rectangle-packingunit 540, or otherwise, arepetitive element 560 of the rectangle-packingunits 540 repetitively and side by side. - Referring to

Each of the square-packing unit 640 may include corner throughinterposer vias 622 and a center through interposer via 624 formed at center of the square-packing unit 640. It should be noted that a center through interposer via 624 can also be a corner through interposer via 622 in another square-packing unit 640. In some embodiments, distance d9 between a center through interposer via 624 to the surrounded and closest corner throughinterposer vias 622 are substantially equal.
