    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of Invention
  • The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a fabricating method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a chip package structure and a fabricating method thereof.
  • 2. Description of Related Art
  • In the semiconductor industry, the fabrication of an integrated circuit (IC) is mainly divided into three stages: IC design, IC process and IC package.
  • During the fabrication of ICs, a chip is made by the steps of wafer fabricating, IC forming, wafer sawing and so on. The wafer has an active surface, which generally refers to a surface having active devices of the wafer. When the IC on the wafer is finished, a plurality of bonding pads is further disposed on the active surface of the wafer, such that the chip formed by wafer sawing is electrically connected to a carrier outward via the bonding pads. The carrier is, for example, a lead frame or a package substrate. The chip can be connected to the carrier by means of wire bonding or flip-chip bonding, such that the bonding pads of the chip are electrically connected to the contacts of the carrier, thus forming a chip package structure.
  • FIG. 1A is a schematic sectional side view of a conventional chip package structure. FIG. 1B is a schematic top view of a portion of the members of the chip package structure in FIG. 1A. Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, a conventional chip package structure 100 comprises a chip 110, a lead frame 120, a plurality of first bonding wires 130, a plurality of second bonding wires 140, a plurality of third bonding wires 150 and an encapsulant 160. The chip 110 has an active surface 112 and a plurality of first bonding pads 114 and second bonding pads 116 disposed on the active surface 112. The chip 110 is fixed below the lead frame 120, and the lead frame 120 includes a plurality of inner leads 122 and a bus bar 124. The inner leads 122 and the bus bar 124 are located above or below the active surface 112 of the chip 110, and the bus bar 124 is in an annular shape.
  • Referring to FIG. 1B, as the first bonding pads 114 of the chip 110 have the same electric potential, and the first bonding pads 114 are, for example, ground bonding pads or power supply bonding pads, thus the first bonding pads 114 of the same electric potential are respectively connected to the bus bar 124 via the first bonding wires 130, and the bus bar 124 is further connected to the corresponding portion of the inner leads. 122 via the second bonding wires 140. However, the second bonding pads 116 of the chip 110 for transmitting signals (for example, signal bonding pads with ever-changing electric potentials) must be connected to other corresponding inner leads 122 via the third bonding wires 150, and the third bonding wires 150 usually have to cross a portion of the first bonding wires 130, a portion of the second bonding wires 140 and the bus bar 124. Therefore, the third bonding wires 150 are quite long, which is likely to make the third bonding wires 150 collapsed, thereby causing electric shorts. Or, the third bonding wires 150 may be collapsed during molding or being pulled apart by the injected encapsulant, thus causing electric broken circuits.

  • FIG. 2A is a schematic sectional side view of a chip package structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2B is a schematic top view of the lead frame of the chip package structure in FIG. 2A. Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, a chip package structure 200 of the first embodiment comprises a chip 210, a lead frame 220, a plurality of first bonding wires 230 and a plurality of second bonding wires 240. The chip 210 has an active surface 212 and a plurality of chip bonding pads 214 disposed on the active surface 212. In addition, the chip bonding pads 214 may be ground bonding pads, power supply bonding pads or signal bonding pads.
  • The lead frame 220 fixed on the chip 210 comprises a plurality of inner leads 222, at least one bus bar 224, an insulating layer 226 and a plurality of transfer bonding pads 228. The bus bar 224 is located between the chip bonding pads 214 and the inner leads 222. The insulating layer 226 is disposed on the bus bar 224. The transfer bonding pads 228 are disposed on the insulating layer 226. The inner leads 222 and the bus bar 224 are located above the active surface 212 of the chip 210. The chip. 210 and the insulating layer 226 are respectively located on two opposite surfaces 224 a, 224 b of the bus bar 224.
  • The first bonding wires 230 are used to respectively connect the chip bonding pads 214 to the transfer bonding pads 228. The second bonding wires 240 are used to respectively connect the transfer bonding pads 228 to the inner leads 222. In the first embodiment, the chip package structure 200 further comprises an encapsulant 250, so as to cover the active surface 212, the inner leads 222, the bus bar 224, the first bonding wires 230 and the second bonding wires 240.

  • It should be stressed that, in the present embodiment, the transfer bonding pads 228 are formed on the bus bar 224 for facilitating wire jumping. More particularly, as the first bonding wires 230 and the second bonding wires 240 are very short, the possibility of electric shorts caused by the collapse of the first bonding wires 230 and the second bonding wires 240 is reduced. Or, the possibility of electric broken circuits caused by the collapse of the first bonding wires 230 and the second bonding wires 240 during the molding process or being pulled apart by the injected encapsulant 260 is reduced, thereby improving the product yield of the chip package structure 200 of the first embodiment.
