[0021] FIG. 1A is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor package 100A according to example embodiments, and FIG. 1B is a partial enlarged view of region ‘A’of FIG. 1A.

[0022] Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, the semiconductor package 100A of the example embodiment may include a substrate 110, a chip structure 120, and a passive component 130. According to example embodiments, the semiconductor package 100A may further include an encapsulant 145 and/or a connecting bump 115. According to example embodiments, at least one passive component 130 may be surface-mounted on the substrate 110 to improve Signal Integrity (SI) and/or Power Integrity (PI) characteristics of the semiconductor package 100A. Additionally, a solder resist layer 140 may expose a non-connection edge 10a of lands 10 to which the passive component 130 is connected, so that joint strength of a solder member 135 may be secured, and simultaneously may cover an connection edge 10b of the lands 10 to which a conductive trace 112T extends, thereby preventing spreading and a volume change of the solder member 135 in the reflow process, as well as improving the connection reliability of the passive component 130.

[0023] The substrate 110 is a support substrate on which the chip structure 120 is mounted, and may be a package substrate for rewiring a connection pad 120P of the chip structure 120.

The insulating resin may include a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin, a thermoplastic resin such as a polyimide, or a resin in which an inorganic filler or/and glass fiber (Glass Fiber, Glass Cloth or Glass Fabric) is impregnated to these resins, for example, a photosensitive resin such as, prepreg, Ajinomoto Build up Film (ABF), Flame Retardant (FR-4), Bismaleimide Triazine (BT), or Photoimageable Dielectric (PID).

[0025] The insulating layer 111 may include a plurality of insulating layers 111 stacked in a vertical direction (Z-axis direction). An uppermost insulating layer 111, among the plurality of insulating layers 111, may provide an upper surface of the substrate 110, and a lowermost insulating layer 111 may provide a lower surface of the substrate 110. Depending on the process, a boundary between the plurality of insulating layers 111 may be unclear. According to example embodiments, a smaller or larger number of insulating layers 111 than those illustrated in the drawing may be formed. According to example embodiments, a core layer disposed in the middle of the plurality of insulating layers 111 may be thicker than the insulating layers 111 stacked on an upper portion and a lower portion thereof.

The interconnection 112 may include a conductive trace 112T and a via 112V.

[0027] The conductive trace 112T may be a metal pattern disposed on the insulating layer 111. The conductive traces 112T may be electrically connected to one another through the via 112V. The number of layers of the conductive trace 112T may be determined according to the number of layers of the insulating layer 111, and may include more or fewer layers than those illustrated in the drawing.

[0028] The via 112V may penetrate through the insulating layer 111 and may be electrically connected to the conductive trace 112T. The via 112V may have a filled via in which a metallic material is filled inside the via hole or a conformal via in which the metallic material is formed along an inner wall of the via hole.

The plurality of bump pads 30 may be disposed on the lower surface of the substrate 110. The plurality of lands 10 may be arranged at a pitch greater than a pitch of the plurality of bonding pads 20. The plurality of lands 10, the plurality of bonding pads 20 and the plurality of bump pads 30 may be formed with different sizes and pitches depending on the object to be mounted. The plurality of lands 10, the plurality of bonding pads 20 and the plurality of bump pads 30 may be formed integrally with the corresponding conductive trace 112T and may include the same metal as the conductive trace 112T.

[0030] The plurality of lands 10 may be pads for surface mounting of the passive component 130. The plurality of lands 10 may be electrically connected to an electrode 130P of the passive component 130. Each of the plurality of lands 10 may be connected to an uppermost conductive trace 112T on at least one side thereof. The plurality of bonding pads 20 may be pads for flip-chip bonding of the chip structure 120. According to example embodiments, the plurality of bonding pads 20 may be pads for wire bonding of the chip structure 120. The plurality of bump pads 30 may be pads for connection of the connecting bumps 115. The connecting bumps 115 may be solder balls formed of, for example, tin (Sn) or alloys including tin (Sn).

The solder resist layer 140 may include a plurality of openings OP exposing the plurality of lands 10, respectively, and a recessed region RC exposing the plurality of bonding pads 20. A plurality of openings OP overlap the plurality of lands 10, respectively. According to example embodiments, the solder resist layer 140 may open the plurality of bonding pads 20, respectively. The solder resist layer 140 may include an insulating material and may be formed using, for example, prepreg, ABF, FR-4, BT, or photo solder resist (PSR). A lower solder resist layer 140B may be disposed on the lower surface of the substrate 110 and include openings exposing the bump pads 30.

The plurality of openings OP of the solder resist layer 140 may be defined by a Non-Solder Mask Defined (NSMD) type inner wall and a Solder Mask Defined (SMD) type inner wall. The solder resist layer 140 may be provided in the NSMD type on the non-connection edge 10a of the plurality of lands 10, thereby improving the bonding strength of the solder member 135 and improving the connection reliability of the passive component 130. Additionally, the solder resist layer 140 may be provided in the SMD type on the connection edge 10b of the plurality of lands 10, thereby preventing the conductive trace 112T from being exposed to the opening OP and preventing the volume change of the solder member 135.

[0033] In example embodiments, each of the plurality of lands 10 may include a non-connection edge 10a disposed on an inner side of a corresponding opening OP among the plurality of openings OP, and at least one connection edge 10b disposed on an outer side of the corresponding opening OP. Each of the plurality of lands 10 may be connected to the interconnection 112 of the substrate 110, i.e., the uppermost conductive trace 112T, at the at least one connection edge 10b. The non-connection edge 10a may be understood as an edge that provides a perimeter of the plurality of lands 10 other than the connection edge 10b.

The connection edge 10b may be disposed on the outer side of the opening OP and may be in contact with the solder resist layer 140.

[0034] In example embodiments, vias 112V connected to the uppermost conductive trace 112T may be disposed between corresponding lands 10, thus minimizing a loop length of the passive component 130 and reducing inductance and further improving PI characteristics. For example, the plurality of lands 10 may include a first land 11 and a second land 12 respectively connected to the electrode 130P of the passive component 130, and the conductive trace 112T may include a first conductive trace 112T1 connected to the connection edge 10b of the first land 11 and a second conductive trace 112T2 connected to the connection edge 10b of the second land 12.

[0041] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B, the land 10 and the passive component 130 of the example embodiment will be described in more detail.

[0042] FIGS. 2A and 2B are plan views illustrating a coupling relationship between the land 10 and the passive component 130 of example embodiments.

[0043] Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, in example embodiments, at least one pair of lands 10 connected to one passive component 130 may be disposed so that connection edges 10b thereof face one another, and a conductive trace 112T and a via 112V may be disposed between the pair of lands 10.
