[0025] In the embodiments below, a Fan Out Panel Level Package (FOPLP) will be described as an example of an electronic device including a glass substrate on which a plurality of electronic components are mounted. The FOPLP is an electronic device that can be manufactured more efficiently than an FOWLP by using a rectangular glass substrate having a larger area than a semiconductor wafer as a package substrate.
[0026] In the present application, the expression member A is made of B may be used when describing a material constituting a specific member. This expression means that, among the materials constituting member A, the material contained in the largest amount on a weight basis is B. Therefore, member A may be constituted purely of B without impurities, or may contain materials other than B as impurities.
<Electronic Device>
[0027] First, a configuration example of an electronic device according to one aspect of the present embodiment will be described.
[0028] An electronic device 100 illustrated in
[0029] The variations of the plurality of electronic components 40 included in the electronic device 100, which is an FOPLP, are wide-ranging.
[0030] For example, the plurality of electronic components 40 may include sensor components. Examples of sensor components include, for example, a light sensor that detects light, a gas sensor that detects a specific gas, and a physical quantity sensor that measures physical quantities such as speed or acceleration. A physical quantity sensor is an electronic component 40 that incorporates, for example, a semiconductor chip manufactured using a technique such as Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS).
[0031] In addition, the plurality of electronic components 40 may include logic components including an arithmetic processing circuit configured to receive an electrical signal from an electronic component 40 such as a sensor component and to perform arithmetic processing on the received signal. For example, an electronic component 42 illustrated in
[0032] In addition, the plurality of electronic components 40 may include memory components that transmit and receive signals to and from the electronic component 42, which is a logic component, and store data. For example, an electronic component 43 illustrated in
[0033] In addition, the plurality of electronic components 40 may include a power supply component (battery component) capable of supplying power to the plurality of electronic components 40. Further, when the plurality of electronic components 40 includes a power supply component, it is preferable that the plurality of electronic components 40 includes a power supply control component that controls power supply from the power supply component to the plurality of electronic components 40. For example, an electronic component 44 illustrated in
[0034] In addition, the plurality of electronic components 40 may include a communication component for performing wireless communication with an external device. For example, electronic components 46 illustrated in
[0035] In the example illustrated in
[0036] The electronic device 100 can be connected to an external device via an external terminal (not illustrated). As the external terminal, for example, a connector (not illustrated) can be used. In this case, the electronic device 100 is electrically connected to the external device via a flexible wiring board (not illustrated) connected to the connector. As a modification example of the external terminal, a terminal such as a solder ball may also be used. In this case, the substrate SUB1 is provided with terminals for connecting the solder balls, and the electronic device 100 is mounted on a mounting substrate (not illustrated) via the solder balls.
[0037] The substrate SUB1 includes a glass substrate 10, an aluminum nitride film 20 that covers a surface 10t of the glass substrate 10, and an aluminum nitride film 25 that covers a surface 10b of the glass substrate 10. The substrate SUB1 further includes a wiring portion 30 disposed on the aluminum nitride film 20. The wiring portion 30 is a transmission path including one or more wiring layers. In the case of the present embodiment, as illustrated in
[0038] A plurality of terminals TM1 is disposed on the wiring portion 30. A plurality of terminals TM2 is disposed on the aluminum nitride film 25. Among the plurality of electronic components 40 illustrated in
[0039] In addition, the electronic device 100 includes a plurality of through-hole wirings THL embedded in through-holes penetrating the aluminum nitride film 20, the aluminum nitride film 25, and the glass substrate 10.
[0040] As illustrated in
[0041] In addition, characteristics possessed by the glass substrate 10 used in the present embodiment are, for example, as follows. The thickness Ti (a distance from the surface 10t to the surface 10b) is approximately 0.3 to 0.8 mm. The density is 2.50 to 2.60 [g/cm.sup.3]. The Young's modulus is 70 to 85 [GPa]. The thermal expansion coefficient is 3.5 to 3.810.sup.6 [1/K]. The strain point is 670 to 750 degrees Celsius. It should be noted that the above characteristics are merely examples, and various modification examples exist in the characteristics of the glass substrate 10.
[0042] When an FOPLP using the glass substrate 10 is employed as the package substrate, the substrate size during the manufacturing process can be increased, for example, as compared with an FOWLP using a semiconductor wafer such as a silicon substrate. In this case, since a large number of electronic devices 100 can be manufactured collectively, manufacturing efficiency is improved.
<Warp Deformation of Substrate>
[0043] When the substrate size is increased during manufacturing, a problem associated with the increased size arise. For example, as illustrated in
[0044] When warp deformation occurs in the glass substrate 10 during the manufacturing process of the electronic device 100, a problem arises in that the accuracy of pattern formation of the wiring portion 30 decreases because exposure becomes difficult depending on the degree of deformation.
[0045] In the electronic device 100 of the present embodiment, the glass substrate 10 is interposed between the aluminum nitride film 20 and the aluminum nitride film 25. That is, the electronic device 100 includes the aluminum nitride film 20 that covers the surface 10t of the glass substrate 10 and the aluminum nitride film 25 that covers the surface 10b of the glass substrate 10. In the example illustrated in
[0046] The Young's modulus of aluminum nitride is 300 [GPa] or more. Therefore, in the case of the substrate SUB1 of the present embodiment, even when stress occurs during the manufacturing process of the wiring portion 30 due to a difference in the linear expansion coefficients between the wiring portion 30 and the glass substrate 10 (and the aluminum nitride films 20 and 25), the degree of warp deformation can be suppressed.
[0047] When the substrate SUB1 of the present embodiment is compared with a so-called aluminum nitride substrate in which the entire substrate is formed of aluminum nitride, the following can be said. That is, the substrate SUB1 in which the aluminum nitride film 20 is formed on the surface 10t of the glass substrate 10 and the aluminum nitride film 25 is formed on the surface 10b is preferable in that the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the aluminum nitride substrate.
<Heat Dissipation Characteristics of Substrate>
[0048] In addition, in the case of an FOPLP that uses the glass substrate 10 as the package substrate, there is room for improvement in the following respects as compared with an FOWLP that uses a semiconductor wafer. For example, the thermal conductivity of the glass substrate 10 is approximately 1.6 [W/m.Math.K], which is 1% of the thermal conductivity of a silicon wafer, which is approximately 160 [W/m.Math.K].
[0049] In the FOPLP, a plurality of electronic components 40 is mounted on the substrate SUB1. From the viewpoint of allowing these electronic components 40 to operate normally, it is preferable that the substrate SUB1 have high heat dissipation characteristics. This is because heat generated by the electronic components 40 during use can be released efficiently to the outside, thereby stabilizing the operation of the electronic components 40.
[0050] In the case of the present embodiment, as described above, the glass substrate 10 is interposed between the aluminum nitride film 20 and the aluminum nitride film 25. That is, the electronic device 100 includes the aluminum nitride film 20 that covers the surface 10t of the glass substrate 10 and the aluminum nitride film 25 that covers the surface 10b of the glass substrate 10. The thermal conductivity of aluminum nitride is approximately 80 to 150 [W/m.Math.K]. This is approximately 50 to 100 times higher than the thermal conductivity of the glass substrate 10.
[0051] Therefore, in the case of the substrate SUB1 of the present embodiment, the aluminum nitride film 20 and the aluminum nitride film 25 function as heat dissipation members that release the heat transferred from the electronic components 40 to the outside. As a result, the heat dissipation characteristics, which are a concern of the glass substrate 10, can be improved.
<Countermeasures Against Power Supply Noise>
[0052] In an FOPLP such as the electronic device 100 in which a plurality of electronic components 40 is mounted, it is necessary to take measures against noise in the power supply potential supplied to the plurality of electronic components 40. For example, in a case where a logic component, such as the electronic component 42 having an arithmetic processing circuit, is included, the power demand may change instantaneously in accordance with the operating state of a high-frequency circuit such as the arithmetic processing circuit, and noise (induced voltage caused by a change in current) may occur in the power supply potential supply path.
[0053] As an electrical-circuit countermeasure against such power supply noise, there is a countermeasure of providing a capacitor so as to connect the power supply potential and the reference potential. This capacitor is called a decoupling capacitor. The decoupling capacitor has a function of absorbing a current change of a load (for example, an arithmetic processing circuit) by charging and discharging characteristics of the capacitor, thereby suppressing the occurrence of noise in a power supply potential supply path.
[0054] Further, the decoupling capacitor has a function of confining a high-frequency current generated in a power supply potential supply path of a load within a loop between the load and the decoupling capacitor, and suppressing the diffusion of the current to other power supply wirings.
[0055] In order for these functions of the decoupling capacitor to be exhibited effectively, it is preferable that the transmission distance between the decoupling capacitor and the load be short. For this reason, when a capacitor component is used as the decoupling capacitor, it is necessary to mount a large number of capacitor components near the electronic component 40.
[0056] When a large number of capacitor components are mounted in the vicinity of the electronic component 40, the effective mounting area of the electronic component 40 increases in consideration of the mounting space required for the capacitor components. From the viewpoint of downsizing the electronic device 100, it is preferable to reduce the mounting area of the electronic component 40.
[0057] Accordingly, the present inventors have examined a technique in which a conductor pattern constituting a reference potential supply path used as a decoupling capacitor in place of the above-described large number of capacitor components.
[0058] As illustrated in
[0059] The plurality of terminals TM1 include a reference potential terminal TMG1 that can supply a reference potential to the electronic component 42. The plurality of terminals TM1 also include a power supply potential terminal TMD1 that can supply a power supply potential to the electronic component 42. The plurality of terminals TM2 include a reference potential terminal TMG2 that can supply a reference potential to the electronic component 45. A power supply potential supply path VDP connected to the power supply potential terminal TMD1 and a reference potential supply path GNDP connected to the reference potential terminal TMG1 are disposed so as to be adjacent to each other in either the wiring layer WL1 or the wiring layer WL2. Each of the reference potential terminal TMG1 and the reference potential terminal TMG2 is electrically connected via the through-hole wiring THL1. The potential supplied to the reference potential supply path GNDP is, for example, a ground potential.
[0060] In the case of the present embodiment, the reference potential supply path GNDP disposed on the surface 10t and the reference potential supply path GNDP disposed on the surface 10b of the glass substrate 10 are electrically connected via the through-hole wiring THL1. In a portion where the power supply potential supply path VDP to the electronic component 42 and the reference potential supply path GNDP are adjacent to each other, a capacitor portion C1 (see
[0061] The potential at any location of the conductor pattern to which the reference potential is supplied can be stabilized. In the example illustrated in
[0062] As illustrated in
[0063] In the example illustrated in
[0064] More specifically, when the plurality of electronic components 40 mounted on the substrate SUB1 is electrically connected via the wiring portion 30, as illustrated in
[0065] In the case of the present embodiment, each of the plurality of conductor patterns constituting the wiring portion 30 is made of copper or a copper alloy. More specifically, each of the wiring layer WL1, the wiring layer WL2, and the plurality of terminals TM1 illustrated in
[0066] In the case of the present embodiment, each of the reference potential pattern CPG1 and the power supply potential pattern CPD1 of the wiring layer WL1 is covered with the organic insulating film 61. The relative dielectric constant of the organic insulating film 61 is lower than the relative dielectric constant of the aluminum nitride film 20. Accordingly, the capacitance component coupled to the wiring formed in the wiring layer WL1 can be reduced.
[0067] On the other hand, the wiring layer WL1 is in contact with the aluminum nitride film 20. The relative dielectric constant of the aluminum nitride film 20 is higher than the relative dielectric constant of the glass substrate 10 (for example, 5.5), and is, for example, 8.5. Therefore, in the wiring layer WL1 formed so as to be in contact with the aluminum nitride film 20, the capacitor portion C1 formed between the side surface S1 and the side surface S2 that face each other can obtain a required capacitance as a decoupling capacitor due to the influence of the aluminum nitride film 20 having a high relative dielectric constant.

[0068]
[0069] In an electronic device 101 illustrated in
[0070] In addition, as illustrated in
[0071] In the case of the electronic device 101 according to the present modification example, the capacitor portion C1 includes the aluminum nitride film 20 having a higher relative dielectric constant than the organic insulating film 61. Accordingly, as compared with the electronic device 100 illustrated in
[0072] In the example illustrated in
[0073] Although not illustrated, as a further modification example to the electronic device 101, the entirety of the side surface S1 and the side surface S2 illustrated in
[0074] However, when each of the conductor patterns constituting the wiring layer WL1 is embedded in one of the plurality of recesses 21, the parasitic capacitance between wirings in the wiring layer WL1 increases. As a result, there is a concern that wiring delay corresponding to a time constant (CR), which is the product of a capacitance component (C) and a resistance component (R) occurring in the wiring, increases.
[0075] Therefore, from the viewpoint of increasing the function of the capacitor portion C1 as a decoupling capacitor while suppressing wiring delay, it is preferable that the side surface S1 be covered with both the aluminum nitride film 20 and the organic insulating film 61, as in the electronic device 101 illustrated in

[0087] Accordingly, in the case of the modification example, as illustrated in
[0088] Since, in the electronic device 103, the thickness 25T of the aluminum nitride film 25 is greater than the thickness 20T of the aluminum nitride film 20, warp deformation can be suppressed as compared with the electronic device 100 illustrated in
[0089] As illustrated in
[0090] The power supply potential terminals TMD2 included in the plurality of terminals TM2 are terminals capable of supplying a power supply potential to the electronic component 45.

[0096] In the case of an electronic device 104 illustrated in
[0097] In addition, as illustrated in
[0098] In the case of the electronic device 104 according to the modification example, the capacitor portion C2 includes the aluminum nitride film 25 having a higher relative dielectric constant than the organic insulating film 61. Accordingly, as compared with the electronic device 100 illustrated in
[0099] In the example illustrated in
[0100] Similarly to the case of the electronic device 101 described with reference to
[0101] However, when each of the plurality of terminals TM2 is embedded in any of the plurality of recesses 26, the parasitic capacitance of the wiring path connected to the terminal TM2 increases. As a result, there is a concern that wiring delay corresponding to a time constant (CR), which is the product of a capacitance component (C) and a resistance component (R) occurring in the wiring, increases.
[0102] Therefore, from the viewpoint of increasing the function of the capacitor portion C2 as a decoupling capacitor while suppressing wiring delay, it is preferable that only a part of the side surface S3 be covered with the aluminum nitride film 25, as in the electronic device 104 illustrated in

[0109] In the case of the electronic device 105, the metal film 71 is connected to the reference potential supply path GNDP. In addition, as illustrated in
[0110] Since the capacitance of the capacitor portion C3 is proportional to the area of the region where the power supply potential pattern CPD1 and the metal film 71 face each other, the capacitance can be more easily increased as compared with the capacitor portion C1 illustrated in

[0117] In the case of the electronic device 106, the metal film 72 is connected to the reference potential supply path GNDP. In addition, as illustrated in
[0118] Since the capacitance of the capacitor portion C4 is proportional to the area of the region where the power supply potential terminal TMD2 and the metal film 72 face each other, the capacitance can be more easily increased as compared with the capacitor portion C2 illustrated in

Modification Example 7
[0122]
[0123] As described with reference to
[0124] In addition, each of the plurality of terminals TM2, the power supply potential pattern CPD2, and the reference potential pattern CPG2 formed on the surface 10b of the glass substrate 10 is made of copper or a copper alloy. Accordingly, the resistance component of a signal transmission path passing through any of the plurality of terminals TM2 can be reduced.
[0125] Meanwhile, considering adhesion to conductor patterns made of copper or a copper alloy, it is preferable that the underlying insulating layer of the wiring layer WL1 and the underlying insulating layer of the plurality of terminals TM2 be made of an insulating material having higher adhesion to copper or a copper alloy than aluminum nitride. The modification example is a modification example that can improve adhesion between the wiring material made of copper or a copper alloy and the underlying insulating layer.
[0126] In the case of an electronic device 107 illustrated in
[0127] Examples of materials constituting the inorganic insulating layer 52 include silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2), silicon oxynitride (SiON), aluminum oxide (AlO), and aluminum oxynitride (AlON). These inorganic materials (specifically, oxygen-containing inorganic insulators) have higher adhesion to copper or a copper alloy than the aluminum nitride film 20. Therefore, by disposing the inorganic insulating layer 52 as the underlying insulating layer, adhesion between the wiring layer WL1 and the underlying insulating layer can be improved. As a result, peeling of the wiring layer WL1 can be suppressed, and reliability can be improved.
[0128] In the case of an electronic device 108 illustrated in
[0129] As examples of materials constituting the inorganic insulating layer 53, silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2), silicon oxynitride (SiON), aluminum oxide (AlO), and aluminum oxynitride (AlON) can be exemplified, similarly to the inorganic insulating layer 52 illustrated in
