[0001] This invention belongs to the field of semiconductor packaging technology, specifically relating to a highly integrated MEMS sensor packaging structure and its packaging method. Background Technology
[0002] The government's investment in and support for the core component industry, such as sensors, is becoming increasingly evident. my country has reached a critical juncture in its pursuit of self-sufficiency in core components like chips. MEMS sensors, as a next-generation semiconductor product and a replacement for traditional sensors, will undoubtedly become a fiercely contested industrial high ground among major powers.
[0003] The development of MEMS sensors has been slow due to Moore's Law, and product functions are trending towards high integration and miniaturization. Therefore, they are becoming increasingly reliant on packaging technology. New packaging technologies demand lighter, thinner, smaller, higher-density, higher-speed, and lower-cost designs, evolving from 2D to 3D development. Therefore, this invention proposes a highly integrated MEMS sensor packaging structure and its packaging method. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a highly integrated MEMS sensor packaging structure and packaging method thereof.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives and technical effects, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:
[0006] A highly integrated MEMS sensor packaging structure includes a cavity surrounded by several substrates, in which several chips and / or electronic components are integrated. The types of chips may be the same or different. Several air holes are opened on the cavity, and the air pressure inside and outside the cavity is the same.
[0007] Furthermore, the cavity is formed by a first substrate, a second substrate, and a third substrate, with the first substrate and the third substrate facing each other and connected to each other through the second substrate.
[0008] Furthermore, the cavity is a square structure formed by a first substrate, two second substrates and a third substrate. The second substrates are symmetrically arranged at opposite ends of the first substrate, and the first substrate and the third substrate face to face and have the same length.
[0009] Furthermore, chips are respectively disposed on the first substrate and the third substrate, the first substrate and the chips thereon are interconnected, and a plurality of air holes are formed on the second substrate or the third substrate.
[0010] Furthermore, electronic components, MEMS chips, and ASIC chips are disposed within the cavity and on the first substrate. The MEMS chips and ASIC chips are interconnected with the first substrate. Several FCCSP chips are disposed within the cavity and on the third substrate.
[0011] Furthermore, a MEMS chip and an ASIC chip are respectively glued onto the first substrate.
[0012] Furthermore, the MEMS chip is bonded to the first substrate using low-stress silicone, and the ASIC chip is bonded to the first substrate using insulating adhesive or DAF.
[0013] Furthermore, two FCCSP chips are disposed on the side of the third substrate facing the cavity, and a high-temperature resistant adhesive film is attached to the side of the third substrate facing away from the FCCSP chips. The high-temperature resistant adhesive film is removed before the third substrate is pressed onto the first substrate.
[0014] This invention also discloses a highly integrated MEMS sensor packaging method, comprising the following steps:
[0015] 1) Prepare the first substrate, the second substrate, and the third substrate;
[0016] 2) Attach electronic components to the first substrate and attach the second substrate to its opposite ends respectively. Then attach several chips of the same or different types to the surface of the first substrate. The chips and electronic components on the first substrate are located on the same side of the first substrate. Then wire bonding is performed to make the first substrate interconnected with the chips on it.
[0017] 3) Flip-chip mounting of FCCSP chips is performed on the front side of the third substrate. A high-temperature resistant adhesive film can be applied to the back side of the third substrate, which needs to be removed later, or it can be left unapplied. Then, adhesive is applied to the FCCSP chips to enhance their soldering strength. Next, adhesive or solder paste is applied around the third substrate, while the high-temperature resistant adhesive film on the back side of the third substrate is removed.
[0018] 4) The substrate obtained in step 3) is flipped onto the substrate obtained in step 2) to form a three-layer substrate lamination structure with a cavity. This structure is the required packaging structure and has several air holes.
[0019] 5) Print and cut the product to form individual finished pieces;
[0020] Steps 2 and 3 are not in any particular order.
[0021] Furthermore, in step 2), a MEMS chip and an ASIC chip are mounted on the first substrate, and the MEMS chip and the ASIC chip are interconnected with the first substrate.
[0022] The highly integrated MEMS sensor packaging method of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:
[0023] Step 1: First, prepare the first substrate and make a stencil. Then, print solder paste on the surface of the first substrate using stencil printing.
[0024] Step 2: Prepare the second substrate. First, mount the electronic components on the surface of the first substrate using SMT surface mount technology. Then, use general substrate lamination technology to bond the second substrate to the first substrate through reflow soldering.
[0025] Step 3: Mount the MEMS chip and ASIC chip onto the surface of the first substrate using adhesive. The electronic components, MEMS chip, and ASIC chip are mounted on the same side of the first substrate. Low-stress silicone is preferably used for bonding the MEMS chip, and insulating adhesive or DAF is preferably used for bonding the ASIC chip.
[0026] Step 4: Perform wire bonding to interconnect the MEMS chip and ASIC chip with the first substrate through gold wires;
[0027] Step 5: Prepare the third substrate;
[0028] Step 6: Perform flip-chip mounting of the FCCSP chip on the front side of the third substrate;
[0029] Step 7: Apply underfill adhesive to the FCCSP chip to enhance its soldering strength, ultimately allowing the FCCSP chip to be mounted on the front side of the third substrate using the underfill adhesive;
[0030] Step 8: Apply adhesive or solder paste around the third substrate, and at the same time peel off the high-temperature resistant adhesive film on the back of the third substrate.
[0031] Step 9: The substrate obtained in Step 8 is attached to the substrate obtained in Step 4 using a substrate lamination technique to form a three-layer substrate lamination structure with pores.
[0032] Step 10: Print the lettering and cut the piece to form a single finished product.
[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0034] 1) This invention discloses a highly integrated MEMS sensor packaging structure and packaging method. In this packaging method, a three-layer substrate lamination process is used to obtain a three-layer substrate lamination structure with a cavity. There is no need to set a metal cover or similar structure. The FCCSP chip is flip-chip mounted on the top third substrate. This can realize the function of MEMS sensor chip. At the same time, the FCCSP chip can also be used as a control chip. When the FCCSP chip needs to have high heat dissipation requirements, heat dissipation is carried out through air holes, which can prevent the chip from burning out due to excessive temperature.
[0035] 2) This invention integrates the FCCSP chip inside the packaging structure, effectively reducing the area of the packaging structure and the space occupancy rate, and significantly reducing costs without affecting normal use;
[0036] 3) The vents in the packaging structure of this invention allow sound and gas to enter and exit, which can meet the functional requirements of MEMS sensors such as acoustics and air pressure, and at the same time reduce the impact on the FCCSP chip during reflow soldering, avoiding cracks or breaks. The presence of vents ensures that the air pressure inside and outside the packaging structure is balanced, with no pressure difference, thus meeting reliability requirements. The location of the vents can be selected according to actual needs. In this invention, the vents are preferably located on the second substrate, that is, the sidewall of the packaging structure, with at least two vents. Both the first and third substrates can be used as soldering surfaces when mounting the PCB module at the back end, which is convenient for end customers to choose flexibly. Increasing the number of vents helps to accelerate the gas flow inside and outside the packaging structure, and can also reduce the risk of the substrate bursting during soldering and reflow soldering.
[0037] 4) The packaging structure of this invention is a highly integrated design with a tendency towards miniaturization, providing new ideas for the future development of MEMS sensors. Attached Figure Description
