Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of packaging and communication equipment, and in particular relates to an antenna packaging structure and a packaging method. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of technology, various high-tech electronic products have been developed to facilitate people's lives, including various electronic devices such as notebook computers, mobile phones, tablet computers (PADs), etc.
[0003] With the popularization of these high-tech electronic products and the increase in people's needs, in addition to the significant increase in the functions and applications configured in these high-tech products, in particular, the wireless communication function has been added to meet people's needs for mobility. Therefore, people can use these high-tech electronic products at any place or at any time through these high-tech electronic devices with wireless communication functions. This greatly increases the flexibility and convenience of using these high-tech electronic products. Therefore, people no longer have to be confined to a fixed area, breaking the boundaries of the scope of use, making the application of these electronic products truly convenient for people's lives.
[0004] Antenna in Package (AiP) is a technology that integrates antenna and chip in the package based on packaging materials and processes to achieve system-level wireless functions. AiP technology provides good antenna and packaging solutions for system-level wireless chips because it conforms to the trend of increasing integration of silicon-based semiconductor processes. With the rapid development of communication information, AiP technology has become a must-have technology for 5G (5th Generation) communications and automotive radar chips, so AiP technology has received widespread attention. Wafer-level package antenna (WLP AiP) operates on the entire wafer and makes antennas on the plastic layer. Compared with traditional AiP modules, it has higher precision and is thinner and smaller in size, so it has been widely used. In the application of antennas, such as in mobile phone terminals, the antenna needs to transmit and receive signals through a combination of multiple functional chip modules. The known practice is to make the antenna directly on the surface of the circuit board (PCB). The disadvantage is that this practice will make the antenna occupy additional circuit board area, and because the transmission signal line is long, the performance is poor, the power consumption is large, and the package volume is large. In particular, the traditional PCB package has too much loss under 5G millimeter wave transmission, and it is difficult to achieve effective protection of the antenna circuit chip in the existing packaging process. The process flow is still relatively complicated, and the antenna's electrothermal performance and antenna performance efficiency need to be improved. In addition, the existing packaging structure is generally a single-layer plastic package (single-layer compound), which makes the packaging structure size that realizes the expected function larger, and the packaging stability of the chip and its metal bumps also needs to be improved.

[0106] Embodiment 1:

[0117] Based on the temporary bonding layer, the rewiring layer and the supporting substrate are peeled off to expose the first surface of the rewiring layer, a first opening is formed in the rewiring layer from the first surface, and at least one semiconductor chip electrically connected to the rewiring layer is formed on the first surface;
[0118] forming a metal bump in the first opening electrically connected to the rewiring layer;
[0119] The semiconductor chip and the metal bump are packaged with a third packaging layer, and a second opening is formed in the third packaging layer to expose the metal bump.
[0120] The packaging method of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0121] like Figure 1 S1 and Figure 2 As shown, a supporting substrate 101 is provided, and a temporary bonding layer 102 is formed on the supporting substrate.
[0122] As an example, the support substrate 101 includes one of a glass substrate, a metal substrate, a semiconductor substrate, a polymer substrate and a ceramic substrate. Specifically, in this embodiment, the support substrate 101 is selected as a glass substrate, which has a low cost, is easy to form a separation layer on its surface, and can reduce the difficulty of the subsequent stripping process.
[0123] As an example, the temporary bonding layer 102 includes a light-to-heat conversion layer, see Fig.17 As shown, in a subsequent step, laser is used to irradiate the light-to-heat conversion layer to separate the light-to-heat conversion layer from the rewiring layer and the supporting substrate 101 , thereby peeling off the rewiring layer and the supporting substrate 101 .
[0124] Specifically, the temporary bonding layer 102 includes a light-to-heat conversion layer (LTHC), which is formed on the support substrate 101 by a spin coating process and then solidified by a curing process. The light-to-heat conversion layer (LTHC) has stable performance and a smooth surface, which is conducive to the subsequent preparation of the rewiring layer, and in the subsequent stripping process, the stripping difficulty is relatively low. In addition, after the rewiring layer and the support substrate 101 are stripped, the support substrate 101 can be reused to save costs.
[0125] like Figure 1 S2 and Figure 3-6 As shown, a redistribution layer (RDL) is formed on the temporary bonding layer 102 , and the redistribution layer includes a first surface connected to the temporary bonding layer 102 and a second surface opposite to the first surface.
[0126] As an example, forming the rewiring layer comprises the steps of:
[0127] like Figure 3As shown, a first dielectric layer 201 is formed on the surface of the temporary bonding layer 102 by a chemical vapor deposition process or a physical vapor deposition process. The material of the first dielectric layer 201 includes one or a combination of two or more of epoxy resin, silica gel, PI, PBO, BCB, silicon oxide, phosphosilicate glass, and fluorine-containing glass; for example, the material of the first dielectric layer 201 is PI (polyimide) to further reduce the process difficulty and process cost.
[0128] Then, if Figure 4 As shown, a seed layer is formed on the surface of the first dielectric layer 201 by a sputtering process, a first metal layer is formed on the seed layer, and the first metal layer and the seed layer are etched to form a patterned first metal wiring layer 202; the material of the seed layer includes a stack of a titanium layer and a copper layer. The material of the first metal wiring layer 202 includes one or a combination of two or more of copper, aluminum, nickel, gold, silver, and titanium.
[0129] Then, if Figure 5 As shown, a second dielectric layer 203 is formed on the surface of the patterned first metal wiring layer 202 by a chemical vapor deposition process or a physical vapor deposition process, and the second dielectric layer 203 is etched to form a second dielectric layer 203 with a patterned through hole. The material of the second dielectric layer 203 includes one or a combination of two or more of epoxy resin, silica gel, PI, PBO, BCB, silicon oxide, phosphorus silicon glass, and fluorine-containing glass. For example, the material of the second dielectric layer 203 is selected as PI (polyimide) to further reduce the process difficulty and process cost.
[0130] Continue, as Figure 5 As shown, a conductive plug is filled in the patterned through hole, and then a second metal layer is formed on the surface of the second dielectric layer 203 by a sputtering process, and the metal layer is etched to form a patterned second metal wiring layer 204. The material of the second metal wiring layer includes one or a combination of two or more of copper, aluminum, nickel, gold, silver, and titanium.
[0131] In addition, if Figure 6 As shown, the steps of forming the second dielectric layer 203 and the second metal layer are repeated to form multiple metal layers and multiple dielectric layers, thereby forming a rewiring layer with a multi-layer stacking structure to achieve different wiring functions.
[0132] like Figure 1 S3 and Figure 7 As shown, a first antenna layer 301 electrically connected to the rewiring layer is formed on the second surface. The material of the first antenna layer 301 can be copper, etc., and the structure of the first antenna layer is set according to actual conditions.
[0133] As an example, see Fig.11 As shown, after forming the first antenna layer 301, the steps of: forming a first protective adhesion layer 306 covering the first antenna layer 301 on the rewiring layer, the first metal feeder post 303 is formed on the surface of the first antenna layer 301 via the first protective adhesion layer 306, and the first packaging layer 305 is formed on the first protective adhesion layer 306. In an optional example, the material of the first protective adhesion layer 306 includes polyimide. Since two adjacent antenna structures are separated by an antenna layer, it is easy to cause the adhesion strength between the two antenna structures to decrease and cause displacement or rupture. The present invention sets a first protective adhesion layer 306 between the two adjacent antenna structures. On the one hand, it can protect the antenna metal, and on the other hand, it can improve the adhesion performance between the two adjacent antenna structures and improve the mechanical structure strength of the antenna.
[0134] like Figure 1 S4 and Figure 8 As shown, a first metal feed post 303 electrically connected to the first antenna layer 301 is formed on the first antenna layer 301 .
[0135] As an example, before forming the first metal feeder post 303 (wire bond), the step of forming a first lower metal layer 302 on the surface of the first antenna layer, and the first metal feeder post 303 is formed on the surface of the first lower metal layer 302. In an optional example, the first metal feeder post 303 is formed by a wire bonding process, an electroplating process, or a chemical plating process.
[0136] Specifically, the first lower metal layer 302 includes a stack of Ni layers and Au layers. The material of the first metal feeder post 303 includes one of Au, Ag, Cu, and Al, but is not limited thereto. It can also be any metal material that can be used as a pillar. In this embodiment, a wire bonding process is used to form the first metal feeder post 303 on the first lower metal layer 302. The first lower metal layer 302 can effectively strengthen the bonding strength between the first metal feeder post 303 and the first antenna layer and reduce the contact resistance. In an optional example, when the first protective adhesion layer 306 is present, it also includes a step of forming an opening in the first protective adhesion layer 306 to form the first metal feeder post 303.
[0137] As an example, there are multiple first metal feeder posts 303, and the arrangement of the multiple first metal feeder posts 303 includes: forming an electromagnetic shielding structure based on the first metal feeder post 303 and at least one of the first antenna layer 301 and the second antenna layer 307 to achieve electromagnetic shielding of the packaging structure.
[0138] Specifically, in one example, an arrangement method of the first metal feed post 303 is provided, and the first metal feed post 303 is formed on the surface of the first antenna layer 301. Through the arrangement of the first metal feed post 303, the first metal feed post 303 and specific positions of some metal layers in the first antenna layer 301 and the second antenna layer 307 form an electromagnetic shielding protection structure together, thereby achieving electromagnetic shielding of the obtained packaging structure. For example, in an optional example, the first vertical metal feeder post 303 in the middle can form a shielding structure with the upper and lower antenna layers, wherein a portion of the first metal feeder post 303 is grounded and belongs to the grounding wire. This portion of the first metal feeder post 303 can be electrically connected to the first antenna layer 301, or it can be electrically connected to the second antenna layer 307. Of course, this portion of the first metal feeder post 303 can also be electrically connected to the first antenna layer 301 and the second antenna layer 307. The mutual electromagnetic influence formed in the transmission of chip electrical signals can be eliminated by the grounding wire, thereby achieving the effect of electromagnetic shielding. In an optional example, the grounded first metal feeder post 303 is arranged in a circular or even manner, and is electrically connected to the upper and lower corresponding first antenna layer 301 and second antenna layer 307, thereby forming an electromagnetic shielding structure to achieve electromagnetic shielding.
[0139] like Figure 1 S5 and Figure 9-11 As shown, the first metal feeder post 303 is encapsulated by a first encapsulation layer 305 , and the first encapsulation layer 305 exposes the top surface of the first metal feeder post 303 .
[0140] Specifically, in one example, the first metal feeder post 303 is encapsulated with a first encapsulation material layer 304, and the first encapsulation material layer 304 is thinned (grinding) so that the top surface of the first metal feeder post 303 is exposed, and the first encapsulation material layer 304 after thinning forms the first encapsulation layer 305. As an example, the method of encapsulating the first metal feeder post 303 with the first encapsulation material layer 304 includes one of compression molding, transfer molding, liquid sealing molding, vacuum lamination and spin coating, and the material of the first encapsulation layer 305 includes one of silicone and epoxy resin. Fig.11 As shown, when the first protective adhesive layer 306 is present, the first encapsulation layer 305 is formed on the first protective adhesive layer 306 .
[0141] like Figure 1 S6 and Fig.12 As shown, a second antenna layer 307 electrically connected to the first metal feed post 303 is formed on the first packaging layer 305 .
[0142] Specifically, the material of the second antenna layer 307 can be copper or the like, and the structure of the second antenna layer is set according to actual conditions. Fig.16 As shown, a dielectric layer is formed around the second antenna layer, and the material of the dielectric layer can be selected as PI (polyimide). Optionally, the upper surface of the dielectric layer is flush with the upper surface of the second antenna layer. The second packaging layer is formed on the dielectric layer and the upper surface of the second antenna layer. The second antenna layer 307 is electrically connected to the first antenna layer 301 through the first metal feeder column 303. The multi-layer antenna layer can enhance the receiving signal capability and expand the receiving signal bandwidth. The present invention can obtain a multi-layer antenna structure layer, which can effectively shorten the conduction path between components, have better electrical properties and antenna performance, and have lower power consumption. The semiconductor chip 401, the rewiring layer and the antenna metal are arranged in a vertical arrangement structure, which can effectively shorten the conduction path between components, have better electrical properties and high-efficiency antenna performance, and have lower power consumption and high process structure integration.
[0143] As an example, after forming the second antenna layer 307, the step of: forming a second protective adhesion layer covering the second antenna layer 307 on the first packaging layer, at this time, the second metal feeder post 309 is subsequently formed on the surface of the second antenna layer via the second protective adhesion layer, and the second packaging layer 311 is subsequently formed on the second protective adhesion layer. In an optional example, the material of the second protective adhesion layer includes polyimide. Since two adjacent antenna structures are separated by an antenna layer, it is easy to cause the adhesion strength between the two antenna structures to decrease and cause displacement or rupture. The present invention sets a second protective adhesion layer between the two adjacent antenna structures. On the one hand, it can protect the antenna metal, and on the other hand, it can improve the adhesion performance between the two adjacent antenna structures and improve the mechanical structure strength of the antenna. In addition, "and / or" in this article means that only one of the two schemes described may be performed, or both schemes described may be performed at the same time. For example, after forming the first antenna layer, the step of: forming a first protective adhesion layer covering the first antenna layer on the rewiring layer, the first metal feed post is formed on the surface of the first antenna layer via the first protective adhesion layer, and the first packaging layer is formed on the first protective adhesion layer; and / or, after forming the second antenna layer, the step of: forming a second protective adhesion layer covering the second antenna layer on the first packaging layer, the second metal feed post is formed on the surface of the second antenna layer via the second protective adhesion layer, and the second packaging layer is formed on the second protective adhesion layer means that the first protective adhesion layer may be formed only after forming the first antenna layer without forming the second protective adhesion layer, or the second protective adhesion layer may be formed only after forming the second antenna layer without forming the first protective adhesion layer, or both the first protective adhesion layer and the second protective adhesion layer may be formed.
[0144] like Figure 1 S7 and Fig.13 As shown, a second metal feed post 309 electrically connected to the second antenna layer 307 is formed on the second antenna layer 307. In an optional example, the second metal feed post 309 and the first metal feed post 303 are arranged correspondingly up and down.
[0145] As an example, before forming the second metal feeder post 309 (wire bond), the step of forming a second lower metal layer 308 on the surface of the second antenna layer, and the second metal feeder post 309 is formed on the surface of the second lower metal layer 308. In an optional example, the second metal feeder post 309 is formed by a wire bonding process, an electroplating process, or a chemical plating process.
[0146] Specifically, the second lower metal layer 308 includes a stack of Ni layers and Au layers. The material of the second metal feed post 309 includes one of Au, Ag, Cu, and Al, but is not limited thereto. It can also be any metal material that can be used as a pillar. In this embodiment, a wire bonding process is used to form the second metal feed post 309 on the second lower metal layer 308. The second lower metal layer 308 can effectively strengthen the bonding strength between the second metal feed post 309 and the second antenna layer and reduce the contact resistance. In an optional example, when the second protective adhesion layer is present, it also includes a step of forming an opening in the second protective adhesion layer to form the second metal feed post 309.
[0147] As an example, there are multiple second metal feeder posts 309, and the arrangement of the multiple second metal feeder posts 309 includes: forming a second electromagnetic shielding structure based on the second metal feeder post 309 and at least one of the second antenna layer 307 and the third antenna layer 312 to achieve electromagnetic shielding of the packaging structure.
[0148] Specifically, in one example, an arrangement method of the second metal feed post 309 is provided, and the second metal feed post 309 is formed on the surface of the second antenna layer 307. Through the arrangement of the second metal feed post 309, the second metal feed post 309 and specific positions of some metal layers in the second antenna layer 307 and the third antenna layer 312 form an electromagnetic shielding protection structure together, thereby achieving electromagnetic shielding of the resulting packaging structure. For example, in an optional example, the second metal feeder post 309 vertical in the middle can form a shielding structure with the upper and lower antenna layers, wherein a portion of the second metal feeder post 309 is grounded and belongs to the grounding wire. This portion of the second metal feeder post 309 can be electrically connected to the second antenna layer 307, or it can be electrically connected to the third antenna layer 312. Of course, this portion of the second metal feeder post 309 can also be electrically connected to both the second antenna layer 307 and the third antenna layer 312. The mutual electromagnetic influence formed in the transmission of chip electrical signals can be eliminated by the grounding wire, thereby achieving the effect of electromagnetic shielding. In an optional example, the grounded second metal feeder post 309 is arranged in a circular or even manner, and is electrically connected to the corresponding second antenna layer 307 and the third antenna layer 312 above and below, thereby forming an electromagnetic shielding structure to achieve electromagnetic shielding.
[0149] like Figure 1 S8 and Figure 14-15 As shown, the second metal feeder post 309 is encapsulated by a second encapsulation layer 311 , and the second encapsulation layer 311 exposes the top surface of the second metal feeder post 309 .
[0150] Specifically, in one example, the second metal feeder post 309 is encapsulated with the second encapsulation material layer 310, and the second encapsulation material layer 310 is thinned (grinding) so that the top surface of the second metal feeder post 309 is exposed, and the thinned second encapsulation material layer 310 forms the second encapsulation layer 311. As an example, the method of encapsulating the second metal feeder post 309 with the second encapsulation material layer 310 includes one of compression molding, transfer molding, liquid sealing molding, vacuum lamination and spin coating, and the material of the second encapsulation layer 311 includes one of silicone and epoxy resin. When the second protective adhesion layer is present, the second encapsulation layer is formed on the second protective adhesion layer.
[0151] like Figure 1 S9 and Fig.16 As shown, a third antenna layer 312 electrically connected to the second metal feed post 309 is formed on the second packaging layer 311 .
[0152] Specifically, the material of the third antenna layer 312 can be copper or the like, and the structure of the third antenna layer is set according to actual conditions. The third antenna layer 312 is electrically connected to the second antenna layer 307 through the second metal feeder column 309. The multi-layer antenna layer can enhance the receiving signal capability and expand the receiving signal bandwidth. The present invention can obtain a multi-layer antenna structure layer, which can effectively shorten the conduction path between components, have better electrical properties and antenna performance, and have lower power consumption. The semiconductor chip, the rewiring layer, and the antenna metal structure are arranged in a vertical arrangement structure, which can effectively shorten the conduction path between components, have better electrical properties and high-efficiency antenna performance, and have lower power consumption. The process structure has high integration. The present invention uses multi-layer packaging layers, that is, a multi-layer compound antenna structure, to reduce the package size and package size.
[0153] like Figure 1 S10 and Figure 17-18 As shown, based on the temporary bonding layer 102, the rewiring layer and the supporting substrate 101 are peeled off to expose the first surface of the rewiring layer, a first opening 501 is formed in the rewiring layer from the first surface, and at least one semiconductor chip 401 (die bonder) electrically connected to the rewiring layer is formed on the first surface. For example, the semiconductor chip can be formed by a bonding method well known in the art. After the die bonder, the chip is initially fixed to the wafer through reflow soldering.
[0154] Specifically, in one example, in a subsequent step, the light-to-heat conversion layer is irradiated with a laser to separate the light-to-heat conversion layer from the rewiring layer and the supporting substrate 101. In addition, after separation, a first opening 501 may be formed by drilling a hole on the first surface of the rewiring layer, and the drilling may be performed by laser drilling technology. The first opening 501 exposes the metal wire in the rewiring layer, and the first opening defines the position where the subsequent metal bump is formed. In one example, the first opening may be formed first, and then the semiconductor chip 401 is formed on the first surface of the rewiring layer to facilitate the protection of the antenna circuit chip. There is a spacing between the first opening 501 and the semiconductor chip 401 to facilitate the subsequent packaging process, and the specific size is set according to actual needs.
[0155] As an example, the number of the semiconductor chips 401 is multiple, for example, two, and the semiconductor chip 401 includes one of an active component and a passive component, wherein the active component includes one of a power management circuit, a transmitting circuit and a receiving circuit, and the passive component includes one of a resistor, a capacitor and an inductor, and the types of different semiconductor chips are set according to actual conditions. The present invention can integrate all active components or passive components in a packaging structure through the arrangement of different rewiring layers, and simultaneously mount active and passive components on the same wafer, which can effectively reduce the package size.
[0156] like Figure 1 S11 and Figure 19-20 As shown, a metal bump 502 electrically connected to the re-distribution layer is formed in the first opening 501 .
[0157] As an example, after forming the semiconductor chip 401 and before forming the metal bump 502 , the method further includes performing bottom filling on each semiconductor chip 401 to form a bottom filling layer 402 .
[0158] Specifically, the metal bump 502 is initially fixed in the first opening of the rewiring layer, wherein the metal bump 502 can be one of tin solder, silver solder and gold-tin alloy solder. In the present invention, the solder ball is initially fixed to the wafer through reflow soldering after ball mount. In addition, in one example, the semiconductor chip 401 is bottom-filled before forming the metal bump 502. The filling material for the bottom filling can be epoxy resin, that is, this example places the underfill process before ball mount (forming the metal bump) to prevent the metal bump (such as solder ball) from affecting the siphoning of the bottom filling glue. The bottom filling process is that the filling material flows to the bottom of the chip through capillary siphoning to fill the gaps between the bumps, and plays a role in fixing the chip after solidification. The solder ball at the edge of the chip is similar to the bump at the bottom of the chip. When the filling glue overflows, it may also attract a part of the filling glue due to capillary action. The design of the above process sequence in this example can effectively prevent the metal bump from affecting the bottom filling layer.
[0159] As an example, see Fig. 22 As shown, after forming the bottom filling layer 402, the step also includes: performing dam dispensing on each of the semiconductor chips 401 to form a dam dispensing protection layer 403, wherein the dam dispensing protection layer 403 is formed at least on the bottom and around the semiconductor chip 401, and the dam dispensing protection layer 403 and the bottom filling layer 402 surround the semiconductor chip 401.
[0160] Specifically, the present invention performs a dam glue dispensing process on the semiconductor chip 401 after it is fixed. The glue dispensing technology is used to form a dam around the semiconductor chip 401, and then glue is dispensed in the middle to form the dam glue dispensing protective layer 403. The formed dam glue dispensing protective layer 403 can improve the stability of the chip and effectively protect the semiconductor chip 401. After underfilling, that is, the semiconductor chip 401 is filled at the bottom to form a bottom filling layer, the dam glue dispensing process is performed. The dam glue dispensing protective layer 403 and the bottom filling layer 402 surround the semiconductor chip 401, thereby achieving double protection of the semiconductor chip 401 and reducing the process flow. Among them, the dam glue dispensing protective layer 403 can be formed based on the glue dispensing process, and the material of the dam glue dispensing protective layer 403 can be epoxy resin.
[0161] like Figure 1 S12 and Figure 21-23 As shown, a third packaging layer 503 is used to package the semiconductor chip 401 and the metal bump 502 , and a second opening 504 is formed in the third packaging layer 503 to expose the metal bump 502 .
[0162] Specifically, the method for forming the third packaging layer 503 includes one of compression molding, transfer molding, liquid sealing molding, vacuum lamination and spin coating, and the material of the third packaging layer 503 includes one of silicone and epoxy resin. In addition, laser technology can be used to perform a hole (laser drill) in the third packaging layer 503, such as laser drilling, to form the second opening 504. With the solution of the present invention, since only a part of the third packaging layer needs to be opened to expose the metal bump, less energy is required for laser drilling, and the time consumption is short. It is not necessary to form a through hole penetrating the upper and lower surfaces in the third packaging layer, which greatly improves the process efficiency. The present invention adopts the last laser drilling process, after the metal bump is initially fixed by reflow soldering, the third packaging layer forming (molding) process is performed, the metal bump (such as solder ball) is reinforced, and then the solder ball is exposed by laser drilling (Laser drill). This packaging process is stable and therefore has high feasibility and reliability. The laser drilling technology has high precision, strong versatility, high efficiency, low cost and significant comprehensive technical and economic benefits. In addition, when the dam dispensing protective layer is present, Fig. 22 As shown, the third packaging layer 503 simultaneously packages the dam glue dispensing layer and the protective layer, thereby improving the stability of the packaging structure.

The material of the first metal feed post 303 includes one of Au, Ag, Cu, and Al, but is not limited to this. It can also be any metal material that can be used as a planting column. The material of the first lower metal layer 302 includes a stack of Ni layer and Au layer. The first lower metal layer 302 can effectively strengthen the bonding strength between the first metal feed post 303 and the rewiring layer and reduce the contact resistance.
[0177] As an example, the connection part between the second metal feed post 309 and the second antenna layer 307 has a second lower metal layer 308, that is, at the interface where the two are in contact, the second lower metal layer is formed between the two. The material of the second metal feed post 309 includes one of Au, Ag, Cu, and Al, but is not limited to this. It can be any metal material that can be used as a planting column. The material of the second lower metal layer 308 includes a stack of Ni layer and Au layer. The second lower metal layer 308 can effectively strengthen the bonding strength between the second metal feed post 309 and the first antenna layer 307 and reduce the contact resistance.
[0178] Specifically, the material of the first antenna layer 301 can be copper, the material of the second antenna layer 307 can be copper, and the material of the third antenna layer 312 can be copper, etc. The second antenna layer 307 is electrically connected to the first antenna layer 301 through the first metal feeder post 303, and the third antenna layer 312 is electrically connected to the second antenna layer 307 through the second metal feeder post 309.

[0181] Specifically, a first protective adhesive layer 306 covering the first antenna layer 301 is formed on the rewiring layer, the first metal feed post 303 is formed on the surface of the first antenna layer 301 via the first protective adhesive layer 306, and the first packaging layer 305 is formed on the protective adhesive layer 306. Fig.11 As shown. Optionally, the material of the first protective adhesion layer 306 includes polyimide. Since two adjacent antenna structures are separated by an antenna layer, it is easy to cause the adhesion strength between the two antenna structures to decrease and cause displacement or rupture. The present invention sets a first protective adhesion layer 306 between the two adjacent antenna structures. On the one hand, it can protect the antenna metal, and on the other hand, it can improve the adhesion performance between the two adjacent antenna structures and improve the mechanical structure strength of the antenna. Similarly, the second protective adhesion layer also has the above effect.
[0182] As an example, the material of the first encapsulation layer 305 includes one of silica gel and epoxy resin.

[0188] Specifically, the first opening 501 exposes the metal wire in the rewiring layer, and the first opening defines the position where the subsequent metal bump is formed. There is a spacing between the first opening 501 and the semiconductor chip 401 to facilitate the subsequent packaging process, and the specific size is set according to actual needs. In addition, the metal bump 502 can be initially fixed on the rewiring layer, and the metal bump 502 can be one of tin solder, silver solder and gold-tin alloy solder.

Laser technology can be used to open holes (laser drill) in the third packaging layer 503 to form the second opening 504. With the solution of the present invention, since only a portion of the third packaging layer needs to be opened to expose the metal bumps, less energy is required and the time is short when performing laser drilling. There is no need to form through holes that penetrate the upper and lower surfaces in the third packaging layer, which greatly improves the process efficiency. In addition, when the bottom filling layer and the dam glue dispensing protective layer are present, such as Fig. 22 As shown, the third packaging layer 503 simultaneously packages the dam glue dispensing layer and the protective layer, thereby improving the stability of the packaging structure.
