Detailed Implementation
[0036] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention.
[0037] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0038] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.
[0039] According to one embodiment of this application, a SiP system is provided, see [link to SiP system]. Figure 1 As shown, the SiP system includes a core system SiP1, a WiFi SiP2, an antenna module 3, and an isolation component 4. The WiFi SiP2 includes a first surface 21, a second surface 22, and a WiFi module 23. The first surface 21 and the second surface 22 are the WiFi... On opposite sides of SiP2, the first surface 21 is connected to the core system SiP1, and the WiFi module 23 is disposed between the first surface 21 and the second surface 22. The antenna module 3 includes a sputtered antenna 31 and a first connector 32. The sputtered antenna 31 is disposed on the second surface 22 and is electrically connected to the core system SiP1 through the first connector 32. The isolation component 4 includes a first isolation part 41 and a second isolation part 42. The first isolation part 41 is disposed between the WiFi module 23 and the first connector 32. An isolation groove 24 is provided between the WiFi module 23 and the sputtered antenna 31. The second isolation part 42 is disposed in the isolation groove 24 and is connected to the first isolation part 41 to isolate the WiFi module 23 and the antenna module 3.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown in the embodiments of this application, the core system SiP1 is a highly integrated module that encapsulates the core system components using SiP, and the WiFi SiP2 is a highly integrated WiFi module that encapsulates the WiFi components using SiP. The core system SiP1 includes a display, sensors, a computing platform, an interactive interface, network connectivity, and a rendering engine. The WiFi SiP2 includes a first surface 21 and a second surface 22, with the first surface 21 connected to the core system SiP1. After the WiFi SiP2 is connected to the core system SiP1, a mold surface for the WiFi SiP2 is formed on the side of the WiFi SiP2 facing away from the core system SiP1; this mold surface is the second surface 22. The second surface 22 can be used to form a sputtered antenna 31 using a sputtered antenna pattern, and the sputtered antenna 31 is connected to the core system SiP1 via a first connector 32.
[0041] Therefore, this embodiment of the application, by making the core system part and the WiFi part into a modular SiP, and forming the sputtered antenna 31 on the mold surface of the formed WiFi SiP2, allows the sputtered antenna 31 to be built into the WiFi SiP2. This effectively reduces the stacked structure size of the SiP system in this embodiment of the application, lowers the package height, and compared to the traditional method of integrating the WiFi part with onboard or external FPC antennas, greatly saves the size and area of the core circuit of the SiP system. This makes the ID (Industrial Design) of electronic products including the SiP system more flexible and aesthetically pleasing, and more conducive to the promotion and use of electronic products.
[0042] Furthermore, to further prevent the sputtered antenna 31 built into the WiFi SiP2 from affecting the performance of the WiFi module 23 of the WiFi SiP2, thus causing poor stability of the SiP system, this embodiment of the application also provides an isolation component 4 between the WiFi module 23 and the antenna module 3. The isolation component 4 includes a first isolation part 41 and a second isolation part 42. The first isolation part 41 is disposed between the WiFi module 23 and the first connector 32. An isolation groove 24 is provided between the WiFi module 23 and the sputtered antenna 31. The second isolation part 42 is disposed in the isolation groove 24 and is connected to the first isolation part 41. Thus, through the setting of the first isolation part 41 and the second isolation part 42, the WiFi module 23 and the antenna module 3 are effectively isolated, greatly ensuring the working stability and reliability of the WiFi module 23 and significantly improving the stability of the SiP system.
[0043] System-on-Package (SiP) is an advanced electronic packaging technology that integrates multiple electronic components and functions into a single package to form a complete system. For example, SiP can integrate multiple chips and passive components into a single package, reducing the physical distance between components to effectively lower the overall module's power consumption and increase its integration density. Furthermore, SiP can employ various packaging forms, including BGA (Ball Grid Array), WLP (Wafer Level Package), and 3D-IC (Three-dimensional integrated circuit) stacking, broadening its applicability. Moreover, SiP can reduce the number of external components, effectively simplifying PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design and significantly reducing overall costs. Additionally, SiP contributes to the miniaturization of electronic devices, meeting the demands for miniaturization and lightweight electronic products.
[0044] Optionally, the isolation groove 24 is trapezoidal.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the WiFi module 23 described in this embodiment includes a main chip 231 and an auxiliary circuit 232, with the mounting surfaces of the main chip 231 and the auxiliary circuit 232 located on the same plane. The first isolation portion 41 is a metal shield, which covers at least a portion of the auxiliary circuit 232 to isolate the auxiliary circuit 232 from the first connector 32.
[0046] Therefore, to further isolate the WiFi module 23 from the sputtered antenna 31, this embodiment of the application also provides an isolation groove 24 facing the first surface 21 on the second surface 22. The bottom of the isolation groove 24 is located on the side of the first isolation part 41 facing the second surface 22, so that after the second isolation part 42 is placed in the isolation groove 24, the second isolation part 42 can be connected to the first isolation part 41, thereby better achieving isolation between the WiFi module 23 and the antenna module 3.
[0047] In this embodiment, the isolation groove 24 is trapezoidal, which effectively ensures the molding quality of the second isolation part 42 and improves the stability and reliability of the SiP system.
[0048] Of course, while ensuring the molding quality of the second isolation section 42, the isolation groove 24 can also be set as a rectangle or a triangle. Those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs, and this application does not impose specific restrictions here.
[0049] Optionally, the material of the first isolation part 41 includes at least one of nickel silver, 314 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel; the material of the second isolation part 42 is silver paste.
[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, by setting the material of the first isolation part 41 to any one of nickel silver, 314 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel, the isolation effect of the first isolation part 41 is effectively guaranteed and the manufacturing cost of the first isolation part 41 is significantly reduced.
[0051] Of course, in this application embodiment, any combination of two or three of nickel silver, 314 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel can be selected to manufacture the first isolation part 41. Those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs, and this application does not make specific restrictions here.
[0052] Furthermore, this embodiment of the application also sets the material of the second isolation portion 42 to silver paste, so that the isolation effect of the second isolation portion 42 can be more effectively guaranteed when molding the second isolation portion 42.
[0053] Optionally, the SiP system further includes a shielding part 5, which surrounds at least a portion of the WiFi module 23 and is connected to the second isolation part 42.
[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the shielding part 5 can cover the outer surface of the WiFi SiP2 to completely surround the WiFi module 23; or, the shielding part 5 can cover at least a portion of the outer surface of the WiFi SiP2 to surround at least a portion of the WiFi module 23.
[0055] Furthermore, by connecting the shielding part 5 to the second isolation part 42, the isolation between the WiFi module 23 and other modules is effectively achieved, further ensuring the working stability and reliability of the WiFi module 23.
[0056] Optionally, the material of the shielding part 5 includes at least one of 314 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel.
[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, by setting the material of the shielding part 5 to either 314 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel, the isolation effect of the shielding part 5 is effectively guaranteed, and the manufacturing cost of the shielding part 5 is significantly reduced.
[0058] Of course, in this application embodiment, a combination of 314 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel can also be selected to manufacture the shielding part 5. Those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs, and this application does not make specific restrictions here.
[0059] Optionally, the material of the sputtered antenna 31 includes at least one of 314 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel.
[0060] Specifically, since 314 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel have excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, high strength, good plasticity and weldability, and strong electromagnetic compatibility, manufacturing the sputtered antenna 31 with 314 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel can effectively ensure the stability and reliability of the sputtered antenna 31 and make the sputtered antenna 31 have a long service life.
[0061] Furthermore, since both the shielding portion 5 and the sputtered antenna 31 described in this application embodiment can be manufactured using at least one of 314 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel, and both the shielding portion 5 and the sputtered antenna 31 can be disposed on the second surface 22, this application can use the sputtering method to simultaneously form the shielding portion 5 and the sputtered antenna 31, thereby effectively improving the manufacturing efficiency of the SiP system and reducing the manufacturing cost of the SiP system.
[0062] In addition, the use of sputtering to form the shielding part 5 and the sputtered antenna 31 in this application can significantly enhance the forming quality of the shielding part 5 and the sputtered antenna 31, making the structure of the shielding part 5 and the sputtered antenna 31 more uniform, dense, robust and reproducible, thereby further improving the performance of the SiP system.
[0063] Optionally, the first connector 32 is a copper pillar.
[0064] Specifically, by setting the first connector 32 to a copper pillar, the stability and reliability of the first connector 32 can be effectively improved, and the manufacturing cost of the first connector 32 can be reduced.
[0065] When the first connector 32 is a copper pillar, the first connector 32 can be mounted on the WiFi SiP2 using SMT (Surface-Mounted Technology), thereby significantly reducing the size of the SiP system and giving the SiP system better component density, significantly improving assembly efficiency and consistency, and reducing manufacturing costs.
[0066] Of course, the first connector 32 can also be a POP (Package on Package) structure. Those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs, and this application does not impose specific restrictions here.
[0067] Optionally, the SiP system further includes a second connector for electrically connecting the WiFi module 23 and the core system SiP1.
[0068] Specifically, in this application embodiment, the second connector can be a copper pillar or an interposer board (adapter board) to effectively improve the connection performance between the WiFi module 23 and the core system SiP1, and to make the SiP system have higher integration and smaller footprint.
[0069] Optionally, the SiP system further includes a flexible printed circuit board 6, which is electrically connected to the core system SiP1.
[0070] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the core system SiP1 described in this embodiment can be connected to external circuits through the flexible printed circuit board 6, thereby further improving the performance of the SiP system.
