Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of integrated circuits, three-dimensional (3D) packaging and micro-integration of integrated circuit systems, radio frequency systems, and navigation systems have brought new opportunities. However, the high assembly density, high integration, and operating frequency continue to increase, while the system size continues to shrink, resulting in an increase in heat per unit area and unit volume. The chips located at the periphery of the system can achieve heat transfer through heat diffusers and heat sinks to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation, but the heat dissipation problem of the middle layer chips of the integrated microsystem requires special methods. The temperature accumulation of the middle layer chips of the integrated microsystem seriously affects the long-term reliability of the system, and the heat dissipation problem of the three-dimensional integrated microsystem needs to be solved urgently.

[0003] Microchannel is a good heat dissipation technology. Microchannel can be closely attached to the surface of the chip, and the accumulated heat inside can be conducted away through the circulation of liquid inside the channel. However, the preparation of heat dissipation microchannel for integrated microsystems currently usually adopts silicon-silicon direct bonding technology, low-temperature thermosetting materials or thermoplastic materials to bond the upper and lower channels to form a sealed microchannel. Due to many reasons such as process temperature and equipment limitations, it is difficult to make the microchannel together with the TSV (Through Silicon Vias) structure and wiring layer, and the heat dissipation microchannel needs to be welded on the packaging substrate.

Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise noted.

[0033] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing a microfluidic package substrate is provided, which uses fluid heat dissipation to solve the problem of heat accumulation between layers of a three-dimensional integrated microsystem. The preparation method comprises the following steps:

[0034] Step (i), prepare a first silicon wafer 1 and a second silicon wafer 2, the silicon wafers contain the required TSV structure 3, and the TSV structures of the two silicon wafers correspond to each other, which can be a low-resistance silicon vertical interconnection structure (Si-TSV structure) or a metal vertical interconnection structure (Met-TSV structure), see Figure 1 .

[0035] The thickness of the first and second silicon wafers is 200 μm-300 μm, and the resistivity is ≤0.1 Ω·cm.

[0036] The resistivity of the Si-TSV structure is 0.001 to 0.01 Ω·cm, and the insulating dielectric layer material is silicon oxide or silicon oxide-undoped polysilicon composite film structure. The commonly used Met-TSV structure is the Cu-TSV structure.

[0037] Step (ii): depositing a mask layer 4 on the surface of the first silicon wafer 1 and the surface of the second silicon wafer 2 by using a physical vapor deposition (PECVD) or chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) process. Figure 2 .

[0038] The mask layer 4 may be silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or a composite mask layer of silicon oxide and silicon nitride.

[0039] Step (iii): on the surface of the mask layer 4, the mask layer 4 is patterned by photolithography, wet etching or dry etching process to prepare a first etching mask structure 5, the first etching mask structure 5 covers the TSV structure 3, and the non-covered part corresponds to the flow channel structure, see Figure 3 .

[0040] Step (iv), using a silicon wet etching process or a silicon dry etching process, prepare the flow channel structure 6 of the first silicon wafer 1 and the second silicon wafer 2, Figure 4 .

[0041] The depth h of the flow channel structure 6 is 50 μm-100 μm.
