Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging method for a packaging structure of a vertical MOSFET chip, belonging to the technical field of semiconductor packaging. Background Art

[0002] The English full name of MOSFET is Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, that is, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor. The vertical MOSFET is a common voltage-type control device, which has a series of advantages such as fast switching speed, high-frequency performance, high input impedance, low noise, low drive power, large dynamic range, and wide safe operating area (SOA). Therefore, it is widely used in various industries such as switching power supplies, motor control, and power tools.

[0003] With the development of the 5G industry, consumer electronics, and new energy vehicle industries, for example, the power consumption of 5G base stations has increased. The power consumption of 5G base stations is twice that of 4G. In order to meet the power consumption requirements, it is necessary to increase the requirements for low loss and high thermal stability of vertical MOSFETs, which also poses higher requirements for low on-resistance, low heat generation, and fast heat dissipation of the packaging type.

[0004] The on-resistance (RDS) is the resistance between the drain and source electrodes and is one of the main characteristic parameters of the power vertical MOSFET. The vertical MOSFET device achieves a low RDS (on) by placing the drain region on the surface opposite to the source contact. By placing the drain region on the surface opposite to the source contact, the current conduction path (conduction path) is shortened, which reduces the RDS (on).

[0005] In the traditional wire bonding packaging type, the on-resistance is equal to the sum of the on-resistance of the chip and the parasitic resistance of the packaging, that is, the on-resistance RDS(on)=R L +R D +R W +Rds(on), where R L is the lead frame resistance, R D is the resistance between the chip drain and the frame, R W is the bond wire resistance, and Rds(on) is the internal resistance of the chip. The traditional wire bonding packaging is all in the form of wire bonding, and the bond wire resistance R w is relatively large, which will increase the on-resistance of the entire packaging and ultimately affect the current-carrying capacity of the product; moreover, in the traditional vertical MOSFET packaging form, the chip is completely wrapped in the plastic package of the packaging, resulting in the heat generated by the chip during operation not being dissipated in time, which restricts the performance improvement of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the implementation method of the traditional vertical MOSFET wire bonding package structure, the present invention provides a packaging method for the packaging structure of a vertical MOSFET chip, enabling the vertical MOSFET chip adopting this packaging method to achieve the purposes of low on-resistance, high current-carrying capacity, excellent heat dissipation performance, and a simple packaging structure.

[0020] Step ten: Through a grinding process, the etched surfaces of the source metal pins and the gate metal pins of the three-dimensional metal frame strip, and the surface II of the metal conductive heat dissipation plate on the back side of the vertical MOSFET chip are exposed;

[0021] Step eleven: Conductive metal layer I, conductive metal layer II, and conductive metal layer III are respectively fabricated on the etched surface of the source metal pin, the etched surface of the gate metal pin, and the surface II of the metal conductive heat dissipation plate in turn by sputtering, etching, chemical deposition, printing, or spraying a liquid metal;

[0081] S12: Divide the above-mentioned package into a plurality of package structure monomers of vertical MOSFET chips.

[0082] The embodiments are as follows:

[0083] For a package structure of a vertical MOSFET chip according to the present invention, the front surface of the vertical MOSFET chip 10 is provided with a source region and a gate region, and the back surface is set as a drain region, as Figure 2 shown.

[0084] A source conductive pad 13 is arranged in the source region of the vertical MOSFET chip 10, and a gate conductive pad 15 is arranged in its gate region. The cross-sections of the source conductive pad 13 and the gate conductive pad 15 are circular, rectangular, or octagonal, and their materials are composite conductive metal layers, such as Cu / Sn layer or Ni / Au layer. A conductive circuit layer 30 is arranged in the drain region of the vertical MOSFET chip 10. The conductive circuit layer 30 can form a silver particle sintered body with high electrical conductivity in the drain region of the vertical MOSFET chip 10 through a low-temperature sintered silver connection technology, or can also use a finished welding material, such as conductive adhesive, soft solder, solder paste, etc., to be laid in the drain region of the vertical MOSFET chip 10, or can also be a combination of one or several materials of copper, silver, nickel, gold, tin, tin-silver, such as Cu / Sn layer or Ni / Au layer.

[0085] The back drain region of the vertical MOSFET chip 10 is fixedly connected to the metal conductive heat dissipation plate 40 through the conductive circuit layer 30 to achieve electrical conduction. The cross-sectional size of the metal conductive heat dissipation plate 40 is not less than the cross-sectional size of the vertical MOSFET chip 10, and its material is preferably metal copper with excellent electrical conductivity. The metal conductive heat dissipation plate 40 is in large-area contact with the drain region 17, achieving excellent heat dissipation performance of the package product.

[0086] Its three-dimensional metal frame 20 includes a metal frame body 21, a plurality of source metal pins 22, and a plurality of gate metal pins 24. The cross-sections of the source metal pins 22 and the gate metal pins 24 are all circular, rectangular, hexagonal, etc., Figure 3 which is schematically shown as circular in

[0087] The metal frame body 21 includes a discontinuous source metal sheet 211 and a gate metal sheet 213, and the source metal sheet 211 and the gate metal sheet 213 extend inwardly to form a source metal bridge pier 212 and a gate metal bridge pier 214, respectively. The cross-sectional shapes of the source metal bridge pier 212 and the gate metal bridge pier 214 match the shapes of the source region and the gate region of the vertical MOSFET chip 10, respectively. A gap 25 is set between the source metal bridge pier 212 and the gate metal bridge pier 214, and the gap 25 allows the liquid plastic encapsulation material 90 to flow more smoothly therebetween, thereby isolating the source metal sheet 211 and the gate metal sheet 213 from each other. The source metal bridge pier 212 and the gate metal bridge pier 214 are respectively fixedly connected to the source conductive pad 13 and the gate conductive pad 15 of the vertical MOSFET chip 10, and have directionality. Figure 3 In the figure, the source metal bridge pier 212 is L-shaped and rotated 90 degrees clockwise, and the gate metal bridge pier 214 is in a straight line shape. The etched surfaces of the source metal sheet 211 and the gate metal sheet 213 are respectively fixed to the source metal pin 22 and the gate metal pin 24. The etched surfaces of the source metal sheet 211 and the gate metal sheet 213 are etched surfaces for implementing the etching process, and have a certain roughness. The roughness Ra range is: Ra is 0.2~0.4, which enhances the connection strength between the source metal sheet 211 and the gate metal sheet 213 and the source metal pin 22 and the gate metal pin 24. The metal frame body 21 and the source metal pin 22 and the gate metal pin 24 form a cavity 26. The cavity 26 is used to carry the vertical MOSFET chip 10. The front side of the vertical MOSFET chip 10 is flipped in this cavity 26 and is electrically connected to the three-dimensional metal frame 20.

[0088] In an optional embodiment, the source metal sheet 211 and the gate metal sheet 213 are integrated with the source metal pin 22 and the gate metal pin 24 respectively.

[0089] The source metal pin 22 and the gate metal pin 24 are of equal height, and the etched surface 221 of the source metal pin and the etched surface 241 of the gate metal pin are flush with the surface II43 of the metal conductive heat sink, so that the source, gate, and drain of the vertical MOSFET chip 10 are distributed in the same plane, shortening the interconnection distance between the vertical MOSFET chip 10 and the outside world, enhancing the conductive effect of the chip, avoiding the use of traditional wire bonding, and reducing the resistance R between the chip drain and the lead frame. D , reducing the bond wire resistance R W , thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the on-resistance RDS (on) of the packaged product.

[0090] The plastic encapsulation material 90 fills and encapsulates the vertical MOSFET chip 10, the three-dimensional metal frame 20, and the gap 25 as a whole, only exposing the surface II 43 of the metal conductive heat dissipation plate, the etched surface 221 of the source metal pin, the etched surface 241 of the gate metal pin, and the outer side surface of the metal frame body 21. The plastic encapsulation material 90 provided between the vertical MOSFET chip 10, its metal conductive heat dissipation plate 40, the source metal pin 22, and the gate metal pin 24 can effectively prevent short circuits caused by voltage breakdown and improve the reliability of the product.

[0091] In an alternative embodiment, the source metal pin 22 and the gate metal pin 24 are in the shape of concave arc columns, and their radian R is generated due to the difference in etching rates during the semi-etching process of the three-dimensional metal frame 20. As Figure 4 shown, by controlling the semi-etching process to obtain the actually required radian R, the bonding force between the source metal pin 22, the gate metal pin 24, and the plastic encapsulation material 90 can also be increased, achieving the purpose of increasing the reliability of the product.

[0092] The packaging structure of a vertical MOSFET chip of the present invention further includes a conductive metal layer I 26, a conductive metal layer II 27, and a conductive metal layer III 28. The conductive metal layer I 26 is disposed on the etched surface 221 of the source metal pin, the conductive metal layer II 27 is disposed on the etched surface 241 of the gate metal pin, and the conductive metal layer III 28 is disposed on the surface II 43 of the metal conductive heat dissipation plate, which is convenient for electrical connection with other external devices.

[0093] The packaging method of the packaging structure of a vertical MOSFET chip of the present invention has the following process methods:

[0094] Step 1: As Figure 5A shown, prepare the incoming wafer 100, pick out qualified wafers through the incoming inspection process, and perform a cleaning process to remove dust, oil, etc. There are neatly arranged transverse and longitudinal cutting channels I 110 on the wafer 100. The cutting channels I 110 pre-divide the wafer 100 into a plurality of vertical MOSFET chips 10. Each vertical MOSFET chip 10 has a source region and a gate region on the front side and a drain region on the back side.

[0095] Step 2: As Figure 5B shown, respectively fabricate a source conductive pad 13 in the source region of the vertical MOSFET chip 10 and a gate conductive pad 15 in its gate region by means of sputtering corrosion, chemical deposition, printing, or spraying liquid metal in sequence; when fabricating a composite conductive metal layer such as a Cu / Sn layer or a Ni / Au layer, the process of Step 2 needs to be repeated multiple times to form a conductive metal layer of the corresponding material.

[0096] Step 3: AsFigure 5C As shown, a silver particle sintered body with high conductivity is formed as a conductive line layer 30 in the drain region of the vertical MOSFET chip 10 through a low-temperature sintered silver connection technology.

[0097] Step Four: As Figure 5D and Figure 5E shown, a plurality of independent vertical MOSFET chips 10 are formed along the dicing lane I 110 by a dicing process. Figure 5E FIG. is a front view thereof. A source conductive pad 13 is provided in the source region of the vertical MOSFET chip 10, and a gate conductive pad 15 is provided in its gate region.

[0098] Step Five: As Figure 5F shown, a metal conductive heat dissipation original plate 400 is prepared, and the back surfaces of the vertical MOSFET chips 10 are neatly attached to the metal conductive heat dissipation original plate 400 in sequence. There are transverse and longitudinal dicing lanes II 410 between the vertical MOSFET chips 10.

[0099] Step Six: As Figure 5G shown, along the dicing lane II 410, the metal conductive heat dissipation original plate 400 is cut to form a metal conductive heat dissipation plate 40 attached to the back surface of the vertical MOSFET chip 10, forming a new chip unit 11.

[0100] Step Seven: As Figure 5H and Figure 5I 、 Figure 5J shown, a three-dimensional metal frame strip 200 is prepared. The etched surface on its back is facing up as the working surface. The material of the three-dimensional metal frame strip 200 is selected with reference to the lead frame for the chip carrier of the integrated circuit.

[0101] A plurality of hollow patterns 220 and transverse dicing lanes III 210 are arranged in an array on the etched surface of the three-dimensional metal frame strip 200.

[0102] The longitudinal cutting channel III 230 and the alignment point 250, and the transverse cutting channel III 210 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the three-dimensional metal frame strip 200; each hollow pattern 220 is a continuous pattern within the area of the upper and lower transverse cutting channels III 210, such as the number 2 pattern; the upper and lower transverse cutting channels III 210 respectively pass through the upper and lower edges of each hollow pattern 220, and the transverse cutting channel III 210 and the longitudinal cutting channel III 230 pre-divide the three-dimensional metal frame strip 200 into a plurality of three-dimensional metal frames 20. Each three-dimensional metal frame 20 has discontinuous source metal sheets 211 and gate metal sheets 213. The source metal sheets 211 and the gate metal sheets 213 respectively extend inwards to form source metal piers 212 and gate metal piers 214. The hollow pattern 220 forms a gap 25 between the source metal sheet 211 and the gate metal sheet 213. The gap 25 separates the source metal sheet 211 and the gate metal sheet 213, and at the same time plays a role in guiding the flow of current.

[0103] On the left side of the etched surface of the source metal sheet 211 and the right side of the etched surface of the gate metal sheet 213, a source metal pin 22 and a gate metal pin 24 are formed in sequence by sputtering corrosion and chemical deposition of metallic copper. The source metal pin 22 and the gate metal pin 24 together with the three-dimensional metal frame 20 form a cavity 26, as Figure 5I shown.

[0104] Alternatively, a plurality of metal columns with the same height are formed by photoresist patterns and metal deposition methods. The bottoms of the metal columns are respectively connected to the left etched surface of the source metal sheet 211 and the right etched surface of the gate metal sheet 213 through a welding process to respectively form the source metal pin 22 and the gate metal pin 24. The solder used for welding can be one or a combination of titanium, copper, silver, nickel, gold, tin, and tin-silver.

[0105] Alternatively, prepare a metal sheet, and use a high-reflection laser to form a plurality of metal columns with the same height through a laser cutting process. The bottoms of the metal columns are respectively connected to the left etched surface of the source metal sheet 211 and the right etched surface of the gate metal sheet 213 through a welding process to respectively form the source metal pin 22 and the gate metal pin 24. The bottoms of the metal columns are respectively connected to the left side of the etched surface of the source metal sheet 211 and the right side of the etched surface of the gate metal sheet 213 through a welding process to respectively form the source metal pin 22 and the gate metal pin 24. The solder used for welding can be one or a combination of titanium, copper, silver, nickel, gold, tin, and tin-silver.

[0106] Alternatively, when forming the three-dimensional metal frame strip 200, the raw material of the three-dimensional metal frame strip 200 is subjected to multiple semi-etching processes to remove the redundant metal materials, thereby forming the three-dimensional metal frame strip 200 with the source metal pins 22, the gate metal pins 24, and the hollow-out pattern 220.
