Abstract

A packaging substrate is provided. The packaging substrate includes a first area without a cavity and a second area with a cavity. The first area has first and second surfaces facing each other, and a cavity structure of the second area includes a cavity space; a contact surface; and a side wall. The contact surface is disposed opposite to the opening of the cavity structure. A value of a surface roughness of the contact surface is approximately three times or less of a value of a surface roughness of the first surface of the first area.

Claims (30)

1 . A packaging substrate, comprising:

a first area and a second area,

wherein:

the first area is an area where a cavity structure is not disposed,

the second area is an area where the cavity structure is disposed,

the first area is configured to have a first surface and a second surface that are disposed to face each other,

the cavity structure comprises a cavity space, a contact surface, and a side wall,

the cavity space is a space in a depression of the cavity structure, and the cavity space comprises an opening disposed in one of an upper portion and a lower portion of the cavity structure,

the contact surface is a surface disposed opposite to the opening of the cavity space,

the side wall is a wall that surrounds the contact surface, and

a value of a surface roughness of the contact surface is approximately three times a value of a surface roughness of the first surface of the first area, and wherein:

the side wall is configured to connect the first surface of the first area with the contact surface; and

the side wall is configured to have an angle of 75 degrees to 100 degrees based on a line parallel to the second surface of the first area.

2 . The packaging substrate of claim 1 , wherein the first area and the second area are arranged adjacent to each other.

3 . The packaging substrate of claim 1 , wherein the surface roughness of the contact surface is equal to or less than 20 nm.

4 . The packaging substrate of claim 1 , wherein:

a substrate in the first area comprises a glass substrate,

a substrate in the second area comprises a glass substrate, and

the glass substrate in the first area and the glass substrate in the second area are connected to each other.

5 . The packaging substrate of claim 1 , wherein:

the second area has a first surface and a second surface that are disposed to face each other, and

a first distance between the first surface of the second area and the second surface of the second area is 0.3 to 0.7 times a second distance between the first surface of the first area and the second surface of the first area.

6 . The packaging substrate of claim 5 , wherein the first distance is equal to or greater than 100 μm.

7 . The packaging substrate of claim 1 , wherein:

the second area includes a frame, and

the frame is configured to distinguish the cavity space into two or more areas.

8 . The packaging substrate of claim 1 , wherein the second area further comprises a cavity via that penetrates the packaging substrate.

9 . A semiconductor package, comprising:

a packaging substrate according to claim 1 ; an upper redistribution layer disposed on the first surface of the first area; and a connection device disposed under the second surface of the first area.

10 . The semiconductor package of claim 9 , wherein a passive element is disposed in the cavity space.
