Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor processing, and in particular to a surface acoustic wave filter packaging structure and a packaging method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The working principle of the surface acoustic wave filter is that the sound wave is transmitted on the surface of the chip, and a cavity needs to be ensured on the surface of the IDT, otherwise the signal transmission will be affected. There are various packaging schemes in the industry:

[0003] (1) WLP packaging scheme, that is, a WLP element that has been pre-packaged is directly flip-chip bonded to a carrier board for mold encapsulation of the module; the technical conditions of the WLP packaging scheme are high, the cost is very high, and it is not convenient to popularize.

[0004] (2) Overall film encapsulation, that is, epoxy resin film encapsulation, that is, the chip is first flip-chip bonded to the carrier board, and then a layer of epoxy resin film is attached to the carrier board containing the flip-chip to complete the encapsulation. This film can be controlled not to flow to the bottom of the chip to ensure that a cavity exists at the bottom of the chip, so that the surface acoustic wave filter can work normally. Therefore, the overall film encapsulation scheme has high cost, poor high-temperature resistance, and uneven appearance.

[0005] (3) Isolation film plus injection encapsulation, that is, the bare chip is first flip-chip bonded to the carrier board, then a thin isolation film is attached to the surface to prevent the material in the subsequent injection process from entering the bottom of the filter element and causing failure, and finally the injection process is performed to complete the plastic encapsulation; therefore, the filter tin ball of the isolation film plus injection encapsulation scheme is prone to crack failure under the direct pressure of injection, and the bottom filling effect of the non-filter element is poor.

[0006] Meanwhile, the prior art CN216120295U discloses a surface acoustic wave filter radio frequency module packaging structure and electronic equipment. The packaging structure includes a substrate, at least one filter chip, at least one non-filter chip, and an epoxy resin film; the front surface of the substrate is provided with a solder resist layer and an electrode area; the filter chip is flip-chip bonded to the front surface of the substrate, and the filter chip is provided with an interdigital transducer and a first bump; the non-filter chip is flip-chip bonded to the front surface of the substrate, and the non-filter chip is provided with a non-filter function part and a second bump; the epoxy resin film is integrally pressed onto the front surface of the substrate, the filter chip, and the non-filter chip, and a closed cavity is formed between the filter chip and the substrate and the epoxy resin film, and a closed cavity is also formed between the non-filter chip and the substrate and the epoxy resin film. The cavity below the filter chip and the cavity below the non-filter chip are both provided with a closed cavity, and if the cavity below the non-filter chip is not filled or is not filled sufficiently, a local cavity is easily generated near the bump, and when the product is subjected to high temperature reflow soldering, the cavity expands and a siphon effect occurs, causing tin flow short circuit and reducing the reliability of the product.
