## Background
BACKGROUND
1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor package structure and a semiconductor manufacturing process, and more particularly to a semiconductor package structure and a semiconductor process thereof.
2. Description of the Related Art
Semiconductor devices have become progressively more complex, driven at least in part by the demand for smaller sizes and enhanced processing speeds. At the same time, there is a demand to further miniaturize many electronic products containing these semiconductor devices. Semiconductor devices are typically packaged, and then may be installed on a substrate that includes electrical circuitry, such as a circuit board. This results in space being occupied by both the semiconductor device package and the substrate, with a surface area on the substrate being occupied by the semiconductor device package. In addition, costs may be incurred by performing packaging, board manufacturing, and assembly as separate processes. It would be desirable to reduce the space occupied by the semiconductor device on the substrate, and to simplify and combine the packaging, board manufacturing, and assembly processes applicable to the semiconductor device and the substrate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
FIG. 1 illustrates a semiconductor package structure 1 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The semiconductor package structure 1 includes an insulating layer (e.g., a first dielectric layer 10), a die pad 12, an active component 13 (e.g., a die or an integrated circuit (IC)), a plurality of first metal bars 14a, a plurality of second metal bars 14b, a plurality of through vias 15 and a plurality of first metal contacts 16a (e.g., conductive pads).
The first dielectric layer 10 may include, but is not limited to, molding compounds or pre-impregnated composite fibers (e.g., pre-preg). Examples of molding compounds may include, but are not limited to, an epoxy resin having fillers dispersed therein. Examples of a pre-preg may include, but are not limited to, a multi-layer structure formed by stacking or laminating a number of pre-impregnated materials/sheets.
The die pad 12 is within the first dielectric layer 10. The active component 13 is within the first dielectric layer 10 and placed on the die pad 12. The active component 13 may be, for example, a power IC or a radio frequency IC (RFIC).
The first metal bars 14a are placed on the top surface of the first dielectric layer 10. In one embodiment, the first metal bars 14a are arranged in a first direction so that they are substantially parallel to each other along a side of the die pad 12. However, this orientation is not limiting. The material of the first metal bars 14a may include, but is not limited to, copper (Cu) or another metal or alloy.
The second metal bars 14b are placed on the bottom surface of the first dielectric layer 10. In one embodiment, the second metal bars 14b are arranged in a second direction so that they are substantially parallel to each other along a side of the die pad 12. However, this orientation is not limiting. The material of the second metal bars 14b may include, but is not limited to, copper (Cu) or another metal or alloy.
In embodiments in which the first metal bars 14a along a side of the die pad 12 are oriented substantially parallel to each other in a first direction, and the second metal bars 14b along the same side of the die pad 12 are oriented substantially parallel to each other in a second direction, as illustrated for the embodiment of FIG. 1, the second direction is different from the first direction. In any case, each second metal bar 14b is arranged at an angle (or at angles) relative to a corresponding one or ones of the first metal bars 14a along a side of the die pad 12.
The through vias 15 penetrate the first dielectric layer 10. Each through via 15 electrically connects one of the first metal bars 14a to a corresponding second metal bar 14b. In an embodiment in which the first metal bars 14a are oriented in one direction (i.e., in parallel with respect to each other along a side of the die pad 12), and the second metal bars 14b are oriented in another direction (i.e., in parallel with respect to each other along the same side of the die pad 12), the through vias 15 may connect the first metal bars 14a and the second metal bars 14b to form a three dimensional (3D) solenoid structure along the side of die pad 12. Such a 3D solenoid structure is illustrated by way of example in FIG. 1 as a 3D spiral inductor 14. At least one terminal of the spiral inductor 14 is electrically connected to the active component 13. A central axis of the spiral inductor 14 is substantially parallel to the top surface or the bottom surface of the first dielectric layer 10. In one embodiment, the spiral inductor 14 is arranged along one edge of the active component 13 so that the central axis of the spiral inductor 14 is substantially parallel to the edge of the active component 13. However, this orientation is not limiting.
The first metal contacts 16a electrically connect the active component 13 to one or more of the first metal bars 14a, the second metal bars 14b, other components within or on the semiconductor package structure, external circuits, or external interfaces including power supply or ground interfaces.
FIG. 2 illustrates a cross section view of a semiconductor package structure 2 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The semiconductor package structure 2 of FIG. 2 is similar to the semiconductor package structure 1 of FIG. 1, except that the semiconductor package structure 2 of FIG. 2 further comprises a second dielectric layer 11, a plurality of second metal contacts 18, a first protective layer 19a, a second protective layer 19b and passive elements 21.
The first dielectric layer 10 has a first surface (or top surface) 101 and a second surface (or bottom surface) 102 opposite to the first surface 101. The die pad 12 is embedded or buried within the first dielectric layer 10. The active component 13 is placed on the die pad 12 and embedded or buried within the first dielectric layer 10. The first metal contacts 16a are disposed on the first surface 101 of the first dielectric layer 10 and are electrically connected to the active component 13 through vias 16v. 
A plurality of leads 17 are embedded or buried within the first dielectric layer 10. The leads 17 are connected to the first metal contacts 16a through vias 17v. The leads 17 are connected to metal contacts 17b disposed on the second surface 102 of the first dielectric layer 10 through vias 17v′. In one embodiment, the leads 17 and the die pad 12 are combined to form a leadframe structure.
The die pad 12 is connected with a metal layer 16b by vias 16v′, so as to prevent the die pad 12 from being bent (such as warpage).
Through vias 15 extend between first metal bars 14a and second metal bars 14b. In one embodiment, each through via 15 comprises a downward-tapering upper portion 15a and an upward-tapering bottom portion 15b. In other words, the upper portion 15a and the bottom portion 15b both include funnel-shaped portions facing in opposing directions, as illustrated in FIG. 2. The depth D1 of the downward-tapering upper portion 15a is different from the depth D2 of the upward-tapering bottom portion 15b. In one embodiment, D1 is greater than D2. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, D2 is greater than D1. In other embodiments, D1 may be substantially equal to D2. The upper portion 15a of each through via 15 is buried in the first dielectric layer 10 and is electrically connected to a first metal bar 14a. The bottom portion 15b of each through via 15 is buried in the first dielectric layer 10 and is electrically connected to a second metal bar 14b. 
The second dielectric layer 11 has a first surface (or top surface) 111 and a second surface (or bottom surface) 112 opposite to the first surface 111. The second dielectric layer 11 is disposed on the first dielectric layer 10, and the second surface 112 of the second dielectric layer 11 is attached to the first surface 101 of the first dielectric layer 10. The second dielectric layer 11 covers the first metal contacts 16a and the plurality of first metal bars 14a. 
The second dielectric layer 11 may include, but is not limited to, molding compounds or pre-impregnated composite fibers (e.g., pre-preg). Examples of molding compounds may include, but are not limited to, an epoxy resin having fillers dispersed therein. Examples of a pre-preg may include, but are not limited to, a multi-layer structure formed by stacking or laminating a number of pre-impregnated materials/sheets.
The plurality of second metal contacts 18 are disposed on the first surface 111 of the second dielectric layer 11, and may be electrically connected to the first metal contacts 16a through a plurality of second vias 18v. 
The first protective layer (e.g., solder mask) 19a is disposed on the first surface 111 of the second dielectric layer 11. The first protective layer 19a covers the second metal contacts 18 and the first surface 111 of the second dielectric layer 11.
The second protective layer (e.g., solder mask) 19b is disposed on the second surface 102 of the first dielectric layer 10. The second protective layer 19b covers the second metal bars 14b, a portion of the metal layer 16b, and one or more, or portions of one or more, of the metal contacts 17b. 
In one embodiment, the passive elements 21 are placed on the first surface 111 of the second dielectric layer 11, and electrically connected to one or more, of the second metal contacts 18. The passive elements 21 may be, for example, capacitors or resistors.
As shown in FIG. 2, embedding the inductor 14 in the first dielectric layer 10 can reduce the thickness H of the semiconductor package structure 2. In comparison with other embodiments, in which the inductor is placed on the top surface of the dielectric layer, the thickness H of the semiconductor structure 2 can be reduced by approximately 0.4 mm-0.6 mm. Such a reduction in thickness H may represent approximately a 25% to 40% reduction. Thus, embedding the inductor in the dielectric layer may allow for reduction of the size of the semiconductor package structure 2, which may reduce the manufacturing cost.
Further, embedding the inductor 14 in the first dielectric layer 10 may reduce, or substantially eliminate, eddy current loss. Therefore, the inductor 14 embedded in the dielectric layer may have a higher Q factor in comparison with the inductor placed on the top surface of the dielectric layer. The Q factor of an embedded inductor implemented in accordance with the present disclosure is approximately in the range of 50 to 60.
In addition, if, as shown in FIG. 1, the central axis of the spiral inductor 14 is substantially parallel to an edge of the active component 13, the direction of the magnetic field within a core surrounded by the spiral inductor 14 would also be substantially parallel to the edge of the active component 13. In other words, most of the magnetic field would be directed away from the active component 13; thus, the influence of the active component 13 on the inductor 14 would be reduced, and the inductor 14 would have a higher Q factor. Additionally, circuits (e.g., RF circuits) within the active component 13 could have improved performance due to the higher Q factor of the inductor 14, as well as improved performance due to the magnetic field being directed away from the active component 13 (i.e., reduction of electromagnetic interference within active component 13.
FIG. 3 illustrates a semiconductor package structure 3 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The semiconductor package structure 3 of FIG. 3 is similar to the semiconductor package structure 1 of FIG. 1, except that in the semiconductor package structure 1 of FIG. 1, the four spiral inductors 14 around the periphery of active component 13 are illustrated as being interconnected, but in the semiconductor package structure 3 of FIG. 3, a plurality of spiral inductors 24a, 24b, 24c and 24d are not interconnected, and are illustrated as each being electrically connected to the active component 13.
The spiral inductors 24a, 24b, 24c and 24d are electrically isolated from each other. Each spiral inductor can magnetically couple with adjacent inductors to form a transformer. For example, the spiral inductor 24a may be magnetically coupled with the spiral inductors 24b and 24d to form a transformer. In one embodiment, the active component 13 of FIG. 3 is an RFIC.
FIG. 4 illustrates a semiconductor package structure 4 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The semiconductor package structure 4 of FIG. 4 is similar to the semiconductor package structure 1 of FIG. 1, except that the semiconductor package structure of FIG. 4 further comprises a magnetic material 20.
The magnetic material 20 is buried in the first dielectric layer 10 within the central space (the core) formed or surrounded by the spiral inductor 14. The magnetic material 20 is separated from the spiral inductor 14 by the first dielectric layer 10. The use of the magnetic material may increase the intensity of magnetization, permeability and magnetic flux density of the inductor 14. Therefore, in comparison with the inductor without the magnetic material, the active component 13 has less influence from the inductor 14 and the inductor 14 would have a higher Q factor.
FIGS. 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E and 5F illustrate a manufacturing method in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 5A, a leadframe comprising a die pad 12 and a plurality of leads 17 is provided. The leadframe is preferably made of copper or its alloy. In some embodiments, the leadframe may be made of one of, or a combination of, iron or an iron alloy, nickel or a nickel alloy, or other metal or metal alloy. In some embodiments, the leadframe is coated with a copper layer.
Referring to FIG. 5B, an active component 13 is placed on the die pad 12. The active component 13 is attached to the top surface of the die pad 12. At least one bonding wire (not shown) is bonded from the active component 13 to a lead 17.
Referring to FIG. 5C, a first dielectric layer 10 is formed to bury or encapsulate the die pad 12, the leads 17 and the active component 13. The first dielectric layer 10 has a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 opposite the first surface 101. The first dielectric layer 10 may be formed by, for example, laminating a dielectric adhesive material to the leadframe.
Referring to FIG. 5D, a plurality of vias 16v, 17v is formed to electrically connect to the active component 13 and the leads 17. In one embodiment, the vias 16v, 17v are formed by the following steps: (i) drilling a plurality of via holes on the first surface 101 of the first dielectric layer 10; and (ii) filling the via holes with conductive materials and epoxy.
In addition, a plurality of vias 16v′, 17v′ are formed to connect to the die pad 12 and the leads 17. The steps of forming the vias 16v′, 17v′ are similar to those of forming the vias 16v, 17v, except that the via holes of the vias 16v′, 17v′ are formed on the second surface 102 of the first dielectric layer 10.
Referring to FIG. 5D, a plurality of through vias 15 are formed to penetrate the first dielectric layer 10. In one embodiment, the through vias 15 are formed by the following steps: (i) drilling a plurality of downward-tapering first openings from the first surface 101 of the first dielectric layer 10 without penetrating through the first dielectric layer 10 to the bottom surface 102 of the first dielectric layer 10; (ii) plating a conductive material in the first openings to form an upper portion 15a of the through vias 15; (iii) forming a plurality of upward-tapering second openings from the second surface 102 of the first dielectric layer 10 to expose the upper portion 15a of the through vias 15; (iv) plating a conductive material in the second openings to form a bottom portion 15b of the through vias 15, the bottom portion 15b electrically connecting to the upper portion 15a in the first dielectric layer 10 to form the through vias 15. In other embodiments, the downward tapering first openings and the upward tapering second openings are both formed before the conductive material is plated, such that the upper portions 15a and the bottom portions 15b of the through vias 15 are formed at the same time.
Referring to FIG. 5D, a plurality of first metal bars 14a are formed on the first surface 101 of the first dielectric layer 10 to electrically connect to the upper portion 15a of the through vias 15 exposed from the first surface 101 of the first dielectric layer 10. A plurality of second metal bars 14b are formed on the second surface 102 of the first dielectric layer 10 to electrically connect to the bottom portion 15b of the through vias 15 exposed from the second surface 102 of the first dielectric layer 10. The through vias 15 electrically connect each of the first metal bars 14a to a corresponding second metal bar 14b, to form a 3D solenoid structure, for example, a 3D spiral inductor 14.
In one embodiment, a 3D solenoid structure is formed along a side of the die pad 12, and in the 3D solenoid structure, each of the first metal bars 14a is arranged in a first direction so that the first metal bars 14a are substantially parallel to each other, each of the second metal bars 14b is arranged in a second direction so that the second metal bars 14b are substantially parallel to each other, and the second direction is different from the first direction.
A plurality of first metal contacts 16a are formed on the first surface 101 of the first dielectric layer 10 to electrically connect to the vias 16v, 17v. A second metal layer 16b and a plurality of metal contacts 17b are formed on the second surface 102 of the first dielectric layer 10 to electrically connect to the vias 16v′, 17v′. 
Referring to FIG. 5E, a second dielectric layer 11 is formed on the first surface 101 of the first dielectric layer 10 to encapsulate the first metal contacts 16a and the plurality of first metal bars 14a. For example, the second dielectric layer 11 may be formed using a molding technology, which uses a molding compound with the help of a mold chase (not shown), to encapsulate the first metal contacts 16a and the plurality of first metal bars 14a. For another example, the second dielectric layer 11 may be formed by stacking or laminating a number of sheets (e.g., sheets made from pre-impregnated composite fibers) on the first dielectric layer 10, the first metal contacts 16a and the plurality of first metal bars 14a, forming the second dielectric layer 11.
A plurality of second vias 18v are formed within the second dielectric layer 11 to electrically connect to one or more of the first metal contacts 16a. The steps of forming the second vias 18v are similar to those of forming the vias 16v. A plurality of second metal contacts 18 are formed on a first surface 111 of the second dielectric layer 11 to electrically connect to the second vias 18v. 
Referring to FIG. 5F, a first protective layer (solder mask) 19a may be formed on the first surface 111 of the second dielectric layer 11. The first protective layer 19a covers one or more of the second metal contacts 18 and the first surface 111 of the second dielectric layer 11, and exposes one or more of the second metal contacts 18. The passive elements 21 are placed on the first surface 111 of the second dielectric layer 11, and are electrically connected to the one or more exposed second metal contacts 18.
The second protective layer 19b is formed on the second surface 102 of the first dielectric layer 10. The second protective layer 19b covers the second metal bars 14b, a portion of the metal layer 16b, and one or more of the metal contacts 17b. 
Then, a singulation process is performed to divide a semiconductor package structure strip into a plurality of semiconductor package structures. The singulation process is performed using an appropriate laser or other cutting tool.
FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E and 6F illustrate a manufacturing method in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure similar to the method as illustrated and described with reference to FIG. 5A, FIG. 5B, FIG. 5C, FIG. 5D, FIG. 5E and FIG. 5F, except that a magnetic material 20 is placed in the space between the die pad 12 and the leads 17 as shown in FIG. 6B.
As shown in FIG. 6D, the through vias 15 are arranged such that they are not electrically connected to the magnetic material. Therefore, the magnetic material 20 is buried in the first dielectric layer 10 and located within the central space (the core) of a 3D solenoid structure, such as the spiral inductor 14. The magnetic material 20 may comprise, for example, Co, Fe, CoFeB, NiFe or the like.
