MEMS Die is a micro-electromechanical system bare chip. MEMS resonator is a miniature resonant device manufactured using micro-electromechanical system technology. ASIC drive circuit is an integrated circuit designed and optimized for specific applications, used to control and drive other electronic components or systems, and is used to drive MEMS resonators in this application. CMOS process is a complementary metal oxide semiconductor process and is the current mainstream integrated circuit manufacturing technology with the advantages of low power consumption, high speed and high density.

[0049] The packaging of the MEMS clock device in the prior art is mainly divided into a MEMS resonator part and a CMOS drive circuit part, and mainly adopts QFN, SOT, LCC, CSP and other packaging forms to integrate the MEMS Die and CMOS Die in a stacked manner.

[0050] However, in the process of packaging the MEMS Die and the CMOS Die, in order to meet the requirements of the packaging size, the MEMS Die and the CMOS Die need to be thinned, which makes the packaging method complicated.

[0051] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a packaging structure integrating MEMS and ASIC and a manufacturing method thereof, by arranging the MEMS resonator unit and the ASIC driving circuit unit on the same SOI wafer, there is no need to stack the MEMS resonator unit and the ASIC driving circuit unit, so that the integration degree between the MEMS resonator unit and the ASIC driving circuit unit is higher. The present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

The ASIC driving circuit unit 200 is used to excite the vibration of the MEMS resonator unit 300 and process the output signal of the MEMS resonator unit 300 .

[0055] The SOI wafer 100 may be a wafer with a diameter of 10 cm, 15 cm, or 20 cm. The SOI wafer 100 is divided in the middle, wherein the right side is a first area, and the left side is a second area.

[0056] By placing the MEMS resonator unit 300 and the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 on the same SOI wafer 100 and connecting them through the metal connection layer 400, there is no need to stack and thin the MEMS resonator unit 300 and the ASIC driving circuit unit 200, so the volume of the packaging shell can be made smaller, making the integration between the MEMS resonator unit 300 and the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 higher.

[0057] At the same time, the MEMS resonator unit 300 and the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 are arranged on the same SOI wafer 100 and connected through the metal connection layer 400, without the need for additional connection lines, thus reducing the electrical interconnection between chips, and reducing power consumption and noise.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, a passivation layer 500 is disposed on the surface of the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 , and the passivation layer 500 is used to isolate the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 from contact with the outside air.

[0059] A passivation layer 500 is disposed on the surface of the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD), wherein the material of the passivation layer 500 is silicon oxide, silicon nitride or polyimide. One or more passivation layers 500 may be disposed according to actual needs. The main function of the passivation layer 500 is to protect the circuit from the influence of the external environment (such as moisture and pollutants in the air) on the circuit, thereby improving the reliability and life of the circuit.

[0065] S200, manufacturing an ASIC driving circuit unit 200 in a first area;

[0066] S300 , manufacturing a MEMS resonator unit 300 in the second region, and connecting it to the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 through a metal connection layer 400 .

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the substrate silicon 110 in the SOI wafer is 300-800 microns, the thickness of the buried oxide layer 120 is 1-5 microns, and the thickness of the top silicon 130 is 2-20 microns.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 is manufactured in the first area, and the specific method is as follows:

[0069] In the first region on the top silicon layer 130 , the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 is manufactured using a 40-80 nanometer CMOS process.

[0070] Specifically, the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 is manufactured in the first region on the top silicon 130 using an 80-nanometer CMOS process. The ASIC driving circuit unit 200 includes an input interface, a signal processing unit, a power amplifier, and an output interface. Through the steps of photolithography, ion implantation, thin film deposition, and etching, a low-power, high-speed integrated circuit is formed.

[0071] like Figure 3As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, after the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 is manufactured in the first area, the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 is passivated using a passivation material to form a passivation layer 500 on the surface of the ASIC driving circuit unit 200, and the passivation layer 500 on the PAD electrode 210 in the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 is removed by photolithography and etching processes.

[0072] The PAD electrode 210 after the passivation layer 500 is removed is used to connect with the MEMS resonator unit 300 and to connect with an external circuit or pin.

[0073] Combination Figure 4-9 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a MEMS resonator unit 300 is manufactured in the second region and connected to the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 through a metal connection layer 400. The specific method is as follows:

[0076] Depositing a top electrode metal layer 430 on the top of the piezoelectric metal layer 420 by a deposition process, and performing a patterning process on the top electrode metal layer 430 in the second region;

[0077] The bottom electrode metal layer 410, the piezoelectric layer metal layer 420 and the top electrode metal layer 430 constitute a metal connection layer 400. The metal connection layer 400 in the second region is removed by photolithography and etching processes, and the cantilever beam 310 is released to obtain a MEMS resonator unit 300.

[0078] The metal connection layer 400 in the first region is removed by photolithography and etching processes, and only the metal connection layer 400 for connecting the PAD electrode 210 in the ASIC driving circuit and the MEMS resonator unit 300 is retained, so that the MEMS resonator unit 300 is connected to the ASIC driving circuit.

[0079] The bottom electrode metal layer 410 , the piezoelectric metal layer 420 , and the top electrode metal layer 430 are deposited on the upper surface of the top silicon layer 130 by a deposition process, and a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD) method may be used.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the metal connection layer 400 in the second region is subjected to photolithography and etching processes to remove the redundant metal connection layer 400 and release the cantilever beam 310 to obtain the MEMS resonator unit 300, specifically,

[0081] After removing the excess metal connection layer 400 in the second region by photolithography and etching, the top silicon 130 and the buried oxide layer 120 of the SOI wafer 100 are etched by etching to obtain the groove 140, thereby releasing the cantilever beam 310 and obtaining the MEMS resonator unit 300.

[0082] in, Figure 5-Figure 9 It is a schematic diagram of the steps of sequentially removing the top electrode metal layer 430 , the piezoelectric metal layer 420 , the bottom electrode metal layer 410 , the top silicon layer 130 and the buried oxide layer 120 to release the cantilever beam 310 .

[0084] In the present application, by setting the MEMS resonator unit 300 and the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 on the same SOI wafer 100, there is no need to stack and thin the MEMS resonator unit 300 and the ASIC driving circuit unit 200, so the volume of the packaging shell can be made smaller, so that the degree of integration between the MEMS resonator unit 300 and the ASIC driving circuit unit 200 is higher.
