The chip electrode 113 realizes electrical communication in the integrated circuit wafer 100 and partially exposes the opening 213 of the passivation layer I, forming the input / output terminal of the chip electrode 113;

[0078] Step 2, such as Figure 3B As shown, an insulating layer I 310, an insulating layer I opening I 311, and a scribe line 313 are provided on the passivation layer I 210 by photolithography, the insulating layer I opening I 311 exposes the input / output end of the chip electrode 113, and the scribe line 313 is vertically interlaced in the horizontal and vertical directions, and the integrated circuit wafer 100 is pre-divided into a plurality of chip unit bodies 10 arranged in an array;

[0080] Then, a metal seed layer I and a metal bump 430 are sequentially arranged on the adhesion barrier layer 410 by sputtering, photolithography, electroplating, degumming and etching. The metal material of the metal bump 430 includes but is not limited to Ti, Cu, Ni, Sn, and Au elements. The metal bump 430 can also be formed by chemical plating. Its cross-sectional shape is designed according to actual needs, including but not limited to rectangular, circular or elliptical. The material of the metal seed layer I is Cu, Ni, etc., and the thickness of the metal seed layer I is 0.01 to 1 micron. Usually, the metal seed layer I and the metal bump 430 are an integrated structure; in addition to combining with the chip electrode 113, the adhesion barrier layer 410 also plays a role in preventing the metal atoms or other metal particles of the metal seed layer I and the metal bump 430 from diffusing into the wafer 100.

[0081] Step 4: Figure 3D As shown, above the insulating layer I310, the adhesion barrier layer 410, the metal seed layer I and the metal bump 430 are firstly encapsulated with the encapsulation material I510 to form a first encapsulation body, and the first encapsulation body realizes the front protection of the wafer 100; the material of the encapsulation material I510 is a thermosetting polymer such as epoxy resin, phenolic resin, silica gel, amino, unsaturated resin; in order to improve the heat dissipation capacity, the encapsulation material I510 can be a composite material containing metal, ceramic, silicon oxide, graphene and other powders or fibers;

[0082] Step 5: Figure 3E As shown, the excess plastic encapsulation material I 510 on the surface of the wafer 100 is removed by grinding, exposing the upper surface of the metal bump 430, and forming the input / output end 431 of the metal column;

[0092] Step 13: Figure 3M As shown, the plastic package is cut into a plurality of chip package units by scribing. The scribing can be performed using a blade containing diamond or ceramic particles, or laser cutting can be used.

[0093] The present invention provides a packaging method for a chip packaging structure, wherein steps 4 to 6 further include the following process: in step 4, since the plastic encapsulation material I 510 covers the front surface of the wafer 100, it will also cover the original alignment mark 120 originally set on the front surface of the wafer 100, such as Figure 3N Therefore, before the front side of the wafer 100 is coated, the alignment mark needs to be protected. Through a dispensing process or a printing process, the chip monomer I with an alignment mark in the wafer 100 can be provided with an alignment mark protection block 150 at the original alignment mark 120 on the front side of the chip monomer I. The alignment mark protection block 150 can be made of a transparent resin or metal, and its shape is not limited, but it can be clearly distinguished visually, such as Fig.3O and Figure 3P As shown, the alignment mark protection block 150, the adhesion barrier layer 410, the metal seed layer I and the metal bump 430 are firstly encapsulated with the encapsulation material I 510 to form a first encapsulation body, as shown in FIG. Figure 3QAs shown, the positioning mark protection block 150 can be set before the metal bump 430 is set, or it can be set after the metal bump 430 is set; in step five, when the grinding process is performed to remove the excess plastic packaging material I510 on the surface of the wafer 100, the positioning mark protection block 150 is exposed while the upper surface of the metal bump 430 is gradually exposed, as shown in FIG. Figure 3R As shown; in step ten, for the chip monomer I with the alignment mark protection block 150, when setting the rewiring metal layer 710, the alignment mark protection block 150 above the original alignment mark 120 can be used for precise alignment, which reduces the difficulty of the alignment process when setting the rewiring metal layer 710 and improves the alignment accuracy of the reconstructed wafer lithography.
