The adhesion layer 910 may function to be combined with the upper pad 715 of the rewiring metal layer 710 .

[0076] The present invention provides a packaging method for a chip packaging structure, and the process steps are as follows:

[0077] Step 1, such as Figure 3A As shown, an integrated circuit wafer 100 is taken, and a chip electrode 113 and a passivation layer I 210 are provided on its upper surface. The chip electrode 113 realizes electrical communication within the integrated circuit wafer 100 and partially exposes the opening 213 of the passivation layer I to form 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 311, and a scribe line 313 are provided on the passivation layer I 210 by photolithography. The insulating layer I opening 311 exposes the input / output end of the chip electrode 113. 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.

[0079] Step three, such as Figure 3C As shown, an adhesion barrier layer 410 is disposed in the opening 311 of the insulating layer I by sputtering; the adhesion barrier layer 410 is made of Cr, Ti, TiW, V, NiV, etc., and may be a composite layer composed of one or two layers of material, and the thickness of the adhesion barrier layer 410 is 0.1 to 3 microns.

[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 first plastic-sealed with a plastic packaging material I510 to form a first plastic packaging body, which realizes the front protection of the wafer 100; the material of the plastic packaging 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 plastic packaging 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 to form the input / output end 431 of the metal column.

[0083] Step 6: Figure 3F As shown, through the metal rewiring process, a rewiring metal layer 710 is arranged above the first plastic package body, and the rewiring metal layer 710 includes several metal layers and an insulating filling layer.

The lower pad 713 and the upper pad 715 are both exposed from the insulating layer, wherein the lower pad 713 is connected to the upper surface of the metal connector Ⅰ of the first plastic package body.

[0084] Step 7: Figure 3GAs shown, the back side of the wafer 100 that has completed the above packaging is thinned and cut into a plurality of chip monomers I with protected front sides. The thickness of the chip unit body 10 formed after thinning is usually 25 to 150 microns. The thinning method can be mechanical thinning or chemical mechanical thinning.

[0085] Step 8: Figure 3H As shown, the chip monomers I are placed upside down in a certain order on a carrier L1 with a temporary bonding film L2. Preferably, the material of the temporary bonding film L2 is a thermoplastic liquid material, or a film material sensitive to UV light. The bonding method is usually to apply or press the temporary bonding film L2 on the surface of the carrier L1, and then bond it to the front side of the chip monomer I under the action of pressure, temperature, and vacuum.

[0086] Step nine, such as Fig. 3I As shown, the chip monomer I is plastic-sealed for the second time on the carrier L1 using plastic packaging material II 610 to form a second plastic packaging body; the material of the plastic packaging material II 610 is a thermosetting polymer such as epoxy resin, phenolic resin, silica gel, amino, and unsaturated resin; in order to improve the heat dissipation capacity, the plastic packaging material II 610 can be a composite material containing powders or fibers such as metal, ceramic, silicon oxide, and graphene.

The process of reconstructing the wafer overcomes the problems of large warping and large thickness fluctuation of the chip packaging structure completed by the prior art, which reduces the process difficulty and is conducive to improving the product yield; the debonding method can be thermal debonding, chemical debonding, laser debonding or UV debonding, etc.

[0090] Then, metal connector II 900 is sequentially arranged on the adhesion layer 910 by sputtering, photolithography, electroplating, degumming and etching methods. The metal connector II 900 includes metal seed layer II, metal pillar 920 and solder ball 950 from bottom to top.

Usually, the metal seed layer II and the metal pillar 920 are an integrated structure, and the height of the metal pillar 920 is usually 2-100 micrometers. The adhesion layer 910 can play a role in combining with the upper pad 715 of the rewiring metal layer 710.

[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 surface of the wafer 100 is coated, the alignment mark needs to be protected. Through a dispensing process or a printing process, an alignment mark protection block 150 can be set at the original alignment mark 120 on the front surface of the wafer 100. The material of the alignment mark protection block 150 can be 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 3Q As 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, the difficulty of the alignment process when setting the rewiring metal layer 710 in the subsequent step six is ​​reduced, and the alignment accuracy is improved.
