[0041] S7, PCB board splitting and packaging, a water cutting machine is adopted, the whole PCB board is cut into single products by a cutting knife, and then the single products are packaged by a packaging machine.

[0042] In step S4, the tin paste is a gray paste. The solder paste is a new type of welding material developed with SMT. It is a paste-like mixture formed by mixing solder powder, flux, and other surface active agents and thixotropic agents. It is mainly used for welding electronic components such as PCB surface resistors, capacitors, and ICs in the SMT industry. It can initially adhere electronic components to a designated position. At the welding temperature, with the evaporation of solvents and part of the additives, the welded components are welded to the printed circuit pads to form a permanent connection.

[0043] In addition, the dispensing and curing in step S3 require the use of a dispensing machine and an oven, respectively. The dispensing machine, also known as a glue applicator, glue dropper, glue dispenser, or glue filler, is an automatic machine that controls fluid and applies it to the surface or interior of a product. It can achieve three-dimensional and four-dimensional path dispensing, precise positioning, and accurate glue control without stringing, leaking, or dripping. The dispensing machine is mainly used for precisely dispensing, injecting, coating, or dripping glue, paint, and other liquids to the exact position of each product in the product process. It can be used to achieve dotting, line drawing, circular, or arc-shaped.

[0044] Further, the ASIC chip 3 refers to an integrated circuit chip technology for specific applications. In the integrated circuit industry, it is considered an integrated circuit designed for a specific purpose. All interface modules of the ASIC chip 3 technology are connected to a matrix backplane. Through direct forwarding from ASIC chip 3 to ASIC chip 3, communication between multiple modules can be performed simultaneously.

[0045] The MEMS chip 4 refers to a micro-electro-mechanical system, also known as a micro-electronic mechanical system, micro-system, or micro-mechanical system.

The internal structure of the micro-electro-mechanical system is generally in the order of microns or even nanometers, and it is an independent intelligent system. The micro-electro-mechanical system is developed based on microelectronics technology, combining techniques such as lithography, etching, thin film, LIGA, silicon microfabrication, non-silicon microfabrication, and precision machining to produce high-tech electronic mechanical devices.

The whole machine is composed of PLC+HMI control core, and the image automatic alignment system completes the alignment data calculation of the target object. After the product completes the alignment and pre-pressing, it is transmitted to the bonder for binding and pressing.

[0048] Embodiment 2

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that:

[0050] This embodiment also provides a new type of silicon microphone packaging process, which comprises a substrate 1, a circuit board body 2 embedded on the top of the substrate 1, an ASIC chip 3 installed on one side of the top of the circuit board body 2, and a MEMS chip 4 installed on the other side of the top of the circuit board body 2. By providing the substrate 1, a groove adapted to the circuit board body 2 is formed on the top of the substrate 1, and the circuit board body 2 is embedded on the top of the substrate 1 through the groove.

[0051] The PCB binding wire reel 5 comprises a welding disc 11 and a binding wire 12. The welding disc 11 is arranged on the top of the circuit board body 2, and the binding wire 12 is arranged on the surface of one side of the circuit board body 2. The top of the ASIC chip 3 is connected with the first copper wire 6 through the welding point 9, and the end of the first copper wire 6 away from the ASIC chip 3 is connected with the surface of the welding disc 11. The surface of the welding disc 11 is coated with a silver plating layer 13, and the thickness of the silver plating layer 13 is 20-30 microns. By providing the silver plating layer 13 and the first copper wire 6, compared with the traditional cooperation of palladium-gold and nickel plating layer and gold wire, the cost of production and processing is reduced.

[0052] The silver plating layer 13 is much cheaper than gold plating, and has very high electrical conductivity, light reflectivity and chemical stability to organic acids and bases. The silver plating layer 13 is easy to polish, has strong light reflection ability and good heat conduction, electrical conductivity and welding performance. The silver plating layer 13 is first applied to decoration, and is widely used in the electronic industry, communication configuration and instrument manufacturing industry to reduce the resistance of metal parts and improve the welding ability of metal. The plating layer is used to prevent corrosion, increase conductivity, reflectivity and aesthetics.

[0053] For example, when silver plating is carried out on copper or copper alloy parts, the parts must be degreased and rusted first, then pre-plated with thin silver or immersed in a solution composed of mercury chloride and other solutions for mercury treatment to form a layer of mercury film on the surface of the parts. Then, the parts are used as cathode and pure silver plate as anode, and are immersed in cyanide silver potassium electrolyte composed of silver nitrate and potassium cyanide for electroplating. The electroplating solution uses thiosulfate, sulfite, thiocyanate, ferrocyanide, etc. In order to prevent the silver plating layer from discoloring, post-plating treatment is usually required, mainly including immersion brightening, chemical and electrochemical passivation, plating of precious metals or rare metals or coating of cover layer, etc.

[0054] At the same time, by setting the substrate 1, the ASIC chip 3 and the MEMS chip 4 can be mounted and supported, and the bottom of the MEMS chip 4 and the ASIC chip 3 can be protected.

[0055] The top of the circuit board body 2 and away from the MEMS chip 4 side is provided with a PCB binding coil 5, the ASIC chip 3 is connected with a first copper wire 6, and the end of the first copper wire 6 away from the ASIC chip 3 is connected with the PCB binding coil 5.

[0056] The top of the substrate 1 is provided with a cover plate 7, the top of the cover plate 7 is provided with a through hole 8, and the bottom of the cover plate 7 is bonded with the top of the substrate 1 by glue. By setting the cover plate 7, the cover plate 7 can protect the MEMS chip 4 and the ASIC chip 3 on the top of the substrate 1.

[0057] The top of the ASIC chip 3 and the MEMS chip 4 is provided with a welding point 9, and the second copper wire 10 is arranged between the MEMS chip 4 and the ASIC chip 3. The two ends of the second copper wire 10 are connected with the top of the ASIC chip 3 and the MEMS chip 4 through the welding point 9 respectively. By setting the welding point 9, the second copper wire 10 is connected with the ASIC chip 3 and the MEMS chip 4.

[0058] The bottom of the ASIC chip 3 and the MEMS chip 4 around is coated with a glue layer 14, and the bottom of the ASIC chip 3 and the MEMS chip 4 is connected with the surface of the circuit board body 2 through the glue layer 14. By setting the glue layer 14, the glue layer 14 is used to fix the ASIC chip 3 and the MEMS chip 4 on the circuit board body 2. The glue layer 14 refers to the chip glue, which has good thermal conductivity, ensures that the logic route will not be burned out due to overheating, and can play the role of fixing, insulation, moisture-proof, filling, buffering and other protection of the chip. It has significant effect on prolonging the service life of the chip in the aspects of anti-falling, anti-mildew, anti-corrosion, anti-salt mist, anti-acid and alkali, anti-sulfurization, anti-aging, high and low temperature impact, high temperature and humidity resistance, etc. The chip glue is a cofferdam filling glue, which is a single-component epoxy glue suitable for IC packaging of epoxy glass substrate, such as battery circuit protection board and other products. The product has excellent solder resistance and moisture resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient to reduce deformation, excellent temperature cycle performance and better flowability. Cofferdam filling glue is an essential product for IC chip encapsulation and filling, which can be divided into cofferdam glue and filling glue. Cofferdam glue mainly dams the range that needs to be filled, effectively controls the flow and filling range of the filling glue. The filling glue can fully fill the cofferdam range, and after curing, it can play a good protective role for IC chips or electronic components.

[0059] While embodiments of the application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that the embodiments described are merely exemplary of the principles and application of the present application. Numerous modifications and adaptions can be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, which is not limited to the exact construction and arrangement described. It is intended, therefore, to cover all modifications and adaptions that fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents.
