Title: Electronic component and manufacture method thereof

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
     This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-152817, filed on Jun. 26, 2009, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. 
     FIELD 
     The embodiments discussed herein relate to an electronic component and a manufacture method thereof. 
     BACKGROUND 
     A plurality of conductive pads is arranged on the undersurface of a large scale integration (LSI) device. The LSI device is mounted on a package substrate. In order to mount the LSI device on the package substrate, for example, gold bumps are individually attached on the conductive pads of the LSI device in advance. In such a case, the gold bumps are individually positioned on the conductive pads which are arranged on the surface of the package substrate. A gap between the undersurface of the LSI device and the surface of the package substrate is filled with an underfill material that is a thermosetting resin material. The underfill material is heated to a predetermined temperature while the LSI device is pressed against the package substrate. When the underfill material cures, the LSI device is fixed to the package substrate (see, for example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Applications 2003-243447, 2004-320043, and 2005-20004). 
     In such a case, the upper surface of the conductive pad is uneven with respect to a surface of the package substrate. Accordingly, when a conductive bump of the LSI device is not accurately mounted on the corresponding conductive pad of the package substrate, the conductive bump may slip from the conductive pad down to the surface of the package substrate. As a result, an electric connection between the conductive bump and the corresponding conductive pad of the package substrate may fail. Also, the conductive bump may be mounted on an adjacent conductive pad to establish an abnormal electrical connection. If the LSI device is fixed to the package substrate with the underfill material in this state, a defective product is expected. 
     SUMMARY 
     According to an embodiment of the invention, an electronic component includes a package substrate, a plurality of conductive pads, an insulating material and a semiconductor device. The plurality of conductive pads is disposed on the package substrate. The insulating material is disposed between the plurality of conductive pads. The insulating material includes a top surface located on an identical plane to an upper surface of the plurality of conductive pads. The semiconductor device includes a conductive bump aligned on a corresponding conductive pad of the plurality of conductive pads. 
     It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory, and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed.

     DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
     Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
       FIG. 1  schematically illustrates an external view of a server computer apparatus  11  that is an example of an electronic apparatus. The server computer apparatus  11  is provided with an enclosure  12  having an inner storage space. A motherboard is disposed in the inner storage space. The motherboard includes, for example, an electronic component and a main memory. The electronic component performs various pieces of computation processing on the basis of, for example, a software program or data temporarily stored in the main memory. The server computer apparatus  11  is mounted on, for example, a rack. 
       FIG. 2  schematically illustrates a configuration of an exemplary printed board unit that is a motherboard  13 . The motherboard  13  includes a printed writing board  14 . On the surface of the printed writing board  14 , an electronic component according to a first embodiment of the present invention, which is a large-scale integrated circuit (LSI) package  15 , is disposed. The LSI package  15  includes a package substrate  16 . The package substrate  16  is a resin board formed of, for example, a glass epoxy resin. In order to form the package substrate  16 , glass fiber is impregnated with an epoxy resin. The package substrate  16  has a polygonal outer contour such as a rectangular contour. 
     The LSI package  15  includes a plurality of conductive bumps  17 . The conductive bumps  17  are disposed on the surface of the printed writing board  14  so that the conductive bumps  17  are inside the contour of the package substrate  16 . The conductive bumps  17  are composed of balls included in a ball grid array (BGA). The conductive bumps  17  are formed of a solder material. For example, the solder material may be a lead-free solder. An example of such a lead-free solder is an Sn—Ag—Cu alloy. Each of the conductive bumps  17  connects one of conductive pads  18  arranged on the surface of the printed writing board  14  and a corresponding one of conductive pads  19  arranged on the undersurface of the package substrate  16  to each other. There is a one-to-one relationship between the conductive pads  18  and the conductive pads  19 . 
     The conductive bumps  1 . 7  are sealed on the printed writing board  14 . The space between the surface of the printed writing board  14  and the undersurface of the package substrate  16  in which the conductive bumps  17  are present is filled with an underfill material  21 , which is a solid sealant. The underfill material  21  is an insulating and thermosetting resin material, for example, an epoxy resin. The underfill material  21  fixes the LSI package  15  to the surface of the printed writing board  14 . As a result, the LSI package  15  and the printed writing board  14  are electrically connected to each other. 
     On the surface of the package substrate  16 , an electronic component, that is, an LSI device  22 , is disposed. The LSI device  22  has a polygonal outer contour such as a rectangular contour. The LSI device  22  is formed of, for example, silicon. On the surface of the package substrate  16 , a plurality of conductive pads  23  are arranged. The conductive pads  23  arranged along each side of the contour of the LSI device  22  form a pad group  24 . The pad groups  24  individually extend along sides of the contour of the LSI device  22  and sides of the contour of the package substrate  16 . In each of the pad groups  24 , the conductive pads  23  are arranged at regular intervals. 
     The cross sections of the conductive pads  23  specified in a vertical direction orthogonal to the surface of the package substrate  16  have a trapezoidal shape. Accordingly, when the height from the surface of the package substrate  16  is increased, the side surfaces of each of the conductive pads  23  get closer to each other. Each of the conductive pads  23  has a flat pad surface  25  at an upper end thereof. The pad surfaces  25  are disposed in a common imaginary plane  26 . The imaginary plane  26  is parallel to, for example, the surface of the package substrate  16 . The conductive pads  23  are formed of, for example, a conductive material such as copper. On a copper surface, a nickel plating film or a gold plating film is formed. 
     Conductive bumps  27  are individually positioned on the pad surfaces  25  of the conductive pads  23 . Conductive pads  28  arranged on the undersurface of the LSI device  22  are individually received on the conductive bumps  27 . There is a one-to-one relationship between the conductive pads  28  and the conductive pads  23 . The conductive bumps  27  are formed of a conductive material such as gold. The conductive bumps  27  are individually bonded to the conductive pads  28  by, for example, ultrasonic bonding. On the other hand, the conductive bumps  27  are individually received on the pad surfaces  25  of the conductive pads  23 . The conductive pads  28  are formed of, for example, a conductive material such as aluminum. 
     An insulating material, which is a solder resist  29  having a predetermined film thickness, is formed on the surface of the package substrate  16 . The solder resist  29  includes a thick film portion  29   a  that extends along the contour of the package substrate  16  on the surface of the package substrate  16  and a thin film portion  29   b  that is inside the thick film portion  29   a.  The film thickness of the thick film portion  29   a  is greater than that of the thin film portion  29   b.  The film thickness of the thin film portion  29   b  measured from the surface of the package substrate  16  is equal to the height of the conductive pads  23 . As a result, a top surface  31  connected to the pad surfaces  25  is formed on the thin film portion  29   b.  The top surface  31  is disposed in the imaginary plane  26 . The solder resist  29  is formed of an insulating resin material such as a photosensitive epoxy resin. 
     The conductive bumps  27  are sealed on the package substrate  16 . The space between the LSI device  22  and the package substrate  16  in which the conductive bumps  27  are present is filled with an underfill material  32 , which is a solid sealant. The underfill material  32  is, for example, a thermosetting resin material such as an epoxy resin. The resin material contains an inorganic filler such as silica. For example, the inorganic filler has a particle diameter of approximately  5  The underfill material  32  fixes the LSI device  22  to the surface of the package substrate  16 . As a result, the LSI device  22  and the package substrate  16  are electrically connected to each other. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 3 , the pad groups  24  are individually formed along four lines of the contour of the LSI device  22  between the LSI device  22  and the package substrate  16 . Two of the pad groups  24  are parallel to each other, and the other two of the pad groups  24  are parallel to each other. For example, a rectangular opening  33  is formed in the thin film portion  29   b  of the solder resist  29  so that the opening  33  is inside the pad groups  24 . In the opening  33 , the surface of the package substrate  16  is exposed. Referring to  FIG. 4 , a depression  34  having a predetermined depth from the surface of the package substrate  16  is formed in the package substrate  16  in the opening  33 . The depression  34  has, for example, a rectangular contour. The bottom surface of the depression  34  is parallel to the imaginary plane  26  (depicted in  FIG. 2 , for example). The depression  34  opens towards the undersurface of the LSI device  22 . 
     Wiring patterns  35  that are individually connected to the conductive pads  23  are formed on the surface of the package substrate  16 . The wiring pattern  35  externally extends from the outer end of the conductive pad  23  towards the outer contour of the package substrate  16 . The conductive pads  23  and the wiring patterns  35  are embedded in the thin film portion  29   b.  The height of the wiring patterns  35  measured from the surface of the package substrate  16  is equal to that of the conductive pads  23 . The height of the wiring patterns  35  measured from the surface of the package substrate  16  is equal to the film thickness of the thin film portion  29   b.  The wiring patterns  35  extend towards the thick film portion  29   a  of the solder resist  29 . The wiring pattern  35  is connected to the conductive pad  19  via, for example, a through hole. The wiring patterns  35  are formed of a conductive material such as copper. 
     Next, a method of manufacturing the LSI package  15  will be described. First, a large package substrate  36  is prepared as illustrated in  FIG. 5 . On the package substrate  36 , a plurality of mount regions  36   a  for the LSI device  22  are formed. As illustrated in  FIG. 6 , in each of the mount regions  36   a  on the surface of the package substrate  36 , for example, the conductive pads  23  and the wiring patterns  35  are formed by electroless plating processing and electroplating processing. Subsequently, as illustrated in  FIG. 7 , the liquid solder resist  29  is applied to the whole area of the surface of the package substrate  36 . The conductive pads  23  and the wiring patterns  35  are covered with the solder resist  29 . An exposure and development process is then performed upon the solder resist  29  on the surface of the package substrate  36 , and an unexposed portion of the solder resist  29  is removed. 
     On the other hand, as illustrated in  FIG. 8 , air gaps  37  corresponding to the openings  33  are formed in the solder resist  29  cured by exposure. In the air gaps  37 , the surface of the package substrate  36  is exposed. As illustrated in  FIG. 9 , for example, wet blasting processing is performed upon the solder resist  29  in a predetermined region along the contour of each of the air gaps  37 . As a result, as illustrated in  FIG. 10 , the solder resist  29  is removed from the predetermined region. Thus, the thin film portion  29   b  and the opening  33  are formed. As illustrated in  FIG. 11 , the top surface  31  is specified at the upper end of the thin film portion  29   b.  The solder resist  29  is disposed between the conductive pads  23 . The conductive pads  23  individually have the pad surfaces  25  at the upper ends thereof. The top surface  31  of the thin film portion  29   b  and the pad surfaces  25  of the conductive pads  23  are disposed in the common imaginary plane  26 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 12 , in each of the mount regions  36   a,  wet blasting processing is performed upon a predetermined region on the surface of the package substrate  36  exposed in the air gap  37 . The predetermined region of the package substrate  36  is removed by the wet blasting processing. As a result, the depression  34  is formed in the surface of the package substrate  36 . Instead of the wet blasting processing, for example, cutting processing may be performed with an end mill. Subsequently, in each of the mount regions  36   a , the liquid underfill material  32  is applied to the surface of the package substrate  36  inside the thick film portion  29   a.  The underfill material  32  contains an inorganic filler such as silica. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 13 , in each of the mount regions  36   a  (depicted in  FIG. 5 ) of the package substrate  36 , an LSI device  22  is disposed. On the undersurface of the LSI device  22 , the conductive pads  28  are formed. The conductive bumps  27  are individually bonded to the conductive pads  28  in advance by, for example, ultrasonic bonding. As is well known, when the conductive bumps  27  are individually bonded to the conductive pads  28 , tapered tips of the conductive bumps  27  are formed. The LSI devices  22  are individually disposed in the mount regions  36   a  of the package substrate  36 . Subsequently, when the LSI device  22  moves down, the conductive bumps  27  are individually received on the conductive pads  23  of the package substrate  36 . Thus, the underfill material  32  is sandwiched between the surface of the package substrate  36  and the undersurface of the LSI device  22 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 14 , the LSI device  22  is pressed against the surface of the package substrate  36  with a predetermined pressing force. The tapered tips of the conductive bumps  27  are crushed between the LSI device  22  and the conductive pads  23 . At that time, heat processing is performed upon the LSI device  22  and the package substrate  36 . The underfill material  32  is heated to a predetermined temperature equal to or higher than the curing temperature of the underfill material  32 . As a result, the underfill material  32  is cured. The LSI device  22  is fixed to the surface of the package substrate  36  by curing of the underfill material  32 . Subsequently, the package substrate  16 , that is a part of the LSI package  15 , is cut from the package substrate  36  for each of the LSI devices  22 . Thus, the LSI package  15  is manufactured. 
     In the LSI package  15 , the solder resist  29  is disposed between the conductive pads  23  on the package substrate  16 . The pad surfaces  25  of the conductive pads  23  and the top surface  31  of the solder resist  29  are disposed in the common imaginary plane  26 . Accordingly, as illustrated in  FIG. 15 , even if the position of the LSI device  22  with respect to the package substrate  16  is displaced from a predetermined position to a position parallel to the surface of the package substrate  16 , the tips of the conductive bumps  27  are received by, for example, both of the pad surfaces  25  of the conductive pads  23  and the top surface  31  of the solder resist  29 . Thus, it is possible to prevent the conductive bumps  27  from falling between the conductive pads  23  with certainty. As a result, irrespective of the displacement of the positions of the conductive bumps  27 , the conductive bumps  27  are individually bonded to the conductive pads  23  with certainty. 
     On the other hand, it is assumed that the solder resist  29 , more specifically the thin film portion  29   b,  is not formed on the surface of the package substrate  16 . As illustrated in  FIG. 16 , when the position of the LSI device  22  with respect to the package substrate  16  is displaced from a predetermined position to a position parallel to the surface of the package substrate  16 , the tips of the conductive bumps  27  individually slip along side surfaces of the conductive pads  23  that are bonding targets. Each of the conductive bumps  27  falls between the conductive pads  23 . As a result, as illustrated in  FIG. 17 , for example, the tips of the conductive bumps  27  are received on the surface of the package substrate  16  between conductive pads  23 . In such a case, a poor connection between the conductive bump  27  and the conductive pad  23  that is a bonding target occurs. When the amount of displacement is large, the conductive bump  27  is improperly connected to the conductive pad  23  that is not the bonding target. 
     The LSI device  22  on the motherboard  13  produces heat during operation. The heat production causes a thermal expansion of the package substrate  16  and the LSI device  22 . The thermal expansion coefficient of the package substrate  16  formed of a resin is approximately four times that of the LSI device  22  formed of silicon. Accordingly, as illustrated in  FIG. 18 , warpage of the package substrate  16  occurs. The distance between the undersurface of the LSI device  22  and the surface of the package substrate  16  is reduced between the pad groups  24 . Since the depression  34  facing the undersurface of the LSI device  22  is formed in the package substrate  16 , an inorganic filler contained in the underfill material  32  is prevented from contacting the LSI device  22  between the package substrate  16  and the LSI device  22 . Thus, it is possible to prevent the damage to the undersurface of the LSI device  22 . 
     As compared with a case in which the depression  34  is formed in the surface of the package substrate  16 , when the depression  34  is not formed in the surface of the package substrate  16 , the distance between the package substrate  16  and the LSI device  22  is reduced by the depth of the depression  34 . As illustrated in  FIG. 19 , it can be assumed that warpage of the package substrate  16  occurs and the surface of the package substrate  16  contacts the undersurface of the LSI device  22 . As a result, an inorganic filler contained in the underfill material  32  is sandwiched between the package substrate  16  and the LSI device  22 . In addition, the inorganic filler collides against the undersurface of the LSI device  22 , so that the undersurface of the LSI device  22  is damaged. The LSI device  22  may break as a result. With the current reduction in the thickness of the LSI package  15 , the distance between the LSI device  22  and the package substrate  16  tends to decrease. Accordingly, the operational effect of the present invention becomes more pronounced. 
       FIG. 20  is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of an LSI package  15   a  according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the LSI package  15   a,  each of the conductive pads  23  includes a pad body  41  disposed on the surface of the package substrate  16  and a protrusion portion  42  disposed on the pad body  41 . The pad body  41  corresponds to the conductive pad  23  according to the first embodiment of the present invention. At the upper end of the protrusion portion  42 , the pad surface  25  is formed. The protrusion portion  42  is formed of a conductive material such as copper. The solder resist  29  is disposed between the protrusion portions  42 . The top surface  31  of the solder resist  29  is disposed in the imaginary plane  26 . Referring to  FIG. 21 , the height from the surface of the package substrate  16  to the pad surface  25  of the protrusion portion  42  is greater than that of the pad body  41  and the wiring pattern  35 . The depression  34  is not formed in the surface of the package substrate  16 . 
     In the LSI package  15   a,  the protrusion portions  42  increase the distance between the undersurface of the LSI device  22  and the surface of the package substrate  16 . As a result, even if the difference between the heat expansion coefficient of the LSI device  22  and the heat expansion coefficient of the package substrate  16  causes the warpage of the package substrate  16 , it is possible to prevent an inorganic filler contained in the underfill material  32  from contacting the LSI device  22  between the package substrate  16  and the LSI device  22 . As a result, the damage to the undersurface of the LSI device  22  can be prevented. Furthermore, in the LSI package  15   a,  an operational effect similar to the above-described operational effect can be achieved. In the LSI packages  15  and  15   a,  like or corresponding parts are denoted by like or corresponding reference numerals. 
     Next, a method of manufacturing the LSI package  15   a  will be described. Like in the first embodiment, the conductive pads  23  and the wiring patterns  35  are formed on the package substrate  36 . As illustrated in  FIG. 22 , a thin film  45  made of copper is formed on the surface of the package substrate  36  by electroless plating processing. The thin film  45  covers the surface of the package substrate  36 . A dry film resist  46  is formed on the surface of the thin film  45  by predetermined patterning. In the dry film resist  46 , air gaps  47  forming the contours of the pad body  41  and the wiring pattern  35  are formed. As illustrated in  FIG. 23 , on the surface of the package substrate  36 , the pad body  41  and the wiring pattern  35  are formed in the air gap  47  by electroplating processing with copper. Subsequently, the dry film resist  46  is removed. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 24 , a dry film resist  48  is formed on the surface of the package substrate  36  by predetermined patterning. In the dry film resist  48 , air gaps  49  forming the contours of the protrusion portions  42  are formed. As illustrated in  FIG. 25 , on the surface of the package substrate  36 , the protrusion portions  42  are individually formed in the air gaps  49  by electroplating processing with copper. Subsequently, the dry film resist  48  is removed. After the dry film resist  48  has been removed, as illustrated in  FIG. 26 , the thin film  45  is removed from the surface of the package substrate  36  outside the contours of the conductive pads  23  and the wiring patterns  35  by etching processing. Thus, the conductive pads  23  and the wiring patterns  35  are formed. In the etching processing, a resist (not illustrated) may be formed on the conductive pads  23  and the wiring patterns  35 . Subsequently, like in the first embodiment of the present invention, the process from the formation of the solder resist  29  to the cutting of the package substrate  16  is performed. 
       FIG. 27  is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of an LSI package  15   b  according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The LSI package  15   b  is obtained by forming the depression  34  in the surface of the package substrate  16  in the LSI package  15   a.  The depression  34  further increases the distance between the LSI device  22  and the package substrate  16  as compared with the LSI package  15   a.  As a result, even if the warpage of the package substrate  16  occurs, it is possible to prevent an inorganic filler contained in the underfill material  32  from contacting the LSI device  22  between the package substrate  16  and the LSI device  22 . The damage to the undersurface of the LSI device  22  can be therefore prevented. In the LSI package  15   b,  an operational effect similar to those obtained in the first and second embodiments of the present invention can be achieved. In the LSI packages  15 ,  15   a,  and  15   b,  like or corresponding parts are denoted by like or corresponding reference numerals. 
       FIG. 28  is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of an LSI package  15   c  according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The LSI package  15   c  is obtained by mounting electronic components  51  on the bottom surface of the depression  34  in the LSI package  15   b.  It is desirable that the height of the electronic components  51  measured from the bottom surface of the depression  34  be less than the depth of the depression  34 . The electronic component  51  includes, for example, an element capacitor and an element resistor. On the bottom surface of the depression  34 , the electronic components  51  may be bonded to conductive pads (not illustrated) formed on the package substrate  16  with, for example, a solder material. In the LSI packages  15  to  15   c,  like or corresponding parts are denoted by like or corresponding reference numerals. 
     In the LSI package  15   c,  the electronic components  51 , which are mounted on the surface of the package substrate  16  outside the contour of the LSI device  22  in the related art, are mounted on the surface of the package substrate  16  inside the contour of the LSI device  22 . As a result, it is possible to reduce the area of the surface of the package substrate  16  outside the contour of the LSI device  22 . This contributes to the miniaturization of the LSI package  15   c.  When the height of the electronic components  51  is less than the depth of the depression  34 , it is possible to prevent the electronic components  51  from contacting the LSI device  22  irrespective of the warpage of the package substrate  16 . The damage to the undersurface of the LSI device  22  can be therefore prevented. In the LSI package  15   c,  an operational effect similar to those obtained in the first to third embodiments of the present invention can be achieved.
