Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to redistribution layer structures useful in semiconductor substrate packages, semiconductor package structures, and chip structures. In an embodiment, a redistribution layer structure includes a dielectric layer, an anti-plating layer, and a conductive material. The dielectric layer defines one or more trenches. The conductive material is disposed in the trench(es), and the anti-plating layer is disposed on a surface of the dielectric layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A redistribution layer structure, comprising: a dielectric layer comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, the lower portion of the dielectric layer defining at least one trench, and the upper portion of the dielectric layer comprising an anti-plating layer disposed on a surface of the lower portion of the dielectric layer and defining an opening; and a conductive material plated in the trench within the opening, wherein the anti-plating layer does not extend over the trench, the anti-plating layer includes a hydrophobic material, and the lower portion of the dielectric layer defining the trench is hydrophilic. 2. The redistribution layer structure of claim 1 , wherein the anti-plating layer is disposed on the surface of the lower portion of the dielectric layer and not in the trench. 3. The redistribution layer structure of claim 1 , wherein the dielectric layer includes one of polyimide or epoxy. 4. The redistribution layer structure of claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the trench is in V-shape. 5. The redistribution layer structure of claim 1 , wherein the anti-plating layer includes a material selected from a group consisting of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, parylene-N, parylene-C, parylene-D, parylene-AF4, and a mixture thereof. 6. The redistribution layer structure of claim 1 , wherein the anti-plating layer includes a first layer and a second layer, the first layer is selected from a group consisting of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, and a combination thereof, and the second layer is selected from a group consisting of parylene-N, parylene-C, parylene-D, parylene-AF4, and a combination thereof. 7. The redistribution layer structure of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the conductive material is disposed on at least a portion of the anti-plating layer. 8. The redistribution layer structure of claim 1 , wherein the trench extends through the lower portion of the dielectric layer. 9. The redistribution layer structure of claim 8 , wherein the trench includes an upper portion and a lower portion, and the lower portion of the trench is filled with an interconnection metal. 10. The redistribution layer structure of claim 9 , wherein the conductive material covers and contacts the interconnection metal. 11. The redistribution layer structure of claim 1 , further comprising a protection layer disposed on the anti-plating layer, wherein the protection layer defines an opening to expose the conductive material. 12. A redistribution layer structure, comprising: a dielectric layer comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, the lower portion of the dielectric layer defining at least one trench, and the upper portion of the dielectric layer comprising an anti-plating layer disposed on a surface of the lower portion of the dielectric layer and defining an opening; and a conductive material plated in the trench within the opening, wherein a portion of the anti-plating layer is disposed on a side surface of the trench. 13. The redistribution layer structure of claim 12 , wherein the conductive material includes a material selected from a group consisting of palladium, copper and nickel.
