Abstract
The present invention relates to a Fine Pitch flip chip substrate. A black oxide dam is made on the metal circuit between bump pads to replace the conventional solder resist so that the bump pads will not be buried in the solder resist. A small vias is dilled by laser drilling and plated filled with copper to be used as the connection between the circuits. By this way, the density and the flexibility of routing could be improved. A mesh pattern can be made in the limited space to increase the stiffness of the substrate.
Claims14
A method for making a fine pitch flip chip substrate, comprising the steps of:
- providing a substrate, with a first metal layer, the said substrate having a plurality of through holes, a first metal plated layer on the first metal layer and the through holes;
- forming an inner circuit on said substrate;
- forming a black oxide inner circuit by oxidizing said inner circuit;
- forming a dielectric layer and a second metal layer on said substrate;
- forming vias in the dielectric layer by drilling to form a plurality of dielectric layer vias, and a second metal plated layer formed in said vias, which are plated and filled to form the surface of the second metal plated layer;
- forming a circuit layer on said second metal layer;
- forming a plurality of solder resist opening areas on said second metal layer excluding IC bump pad area;
- forming a plurality of black oxide dams on said second metal layer by oxidization;
- packaging flip chip by underfilling said IC bumping area, connecting the through holes of the flip chip substrate and said vias of the dielectric layer.
The method as claimed in claim r, wherein in the step of forming a circuit layer, a mesh pattern is designed in the circuit layer to reinforce the stiffness of the substrate and reduce the heat deformation that could cause substrate warpage or twist.
