Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chip packaging technology, and in particular to a three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure and its formation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of information technology, increasingly higher requirements are being placed on the transmission rate, latency, and energy efficiency of optical modules. This has led to the widespread application of co-packaged optoelectronic (CPO) structures, which integrate optical and electrical chips within the same package. In CPO structures, through-silicon vias (TSVs) are fabricated on the optical or electrical chip, which is then vertically stacked with matching electrical / optical chips. The resulting three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated package offers advantages such as high interconnect density and low parasitic parameters, representing an important development direction for high-speed optical interconnects.

[0003] Because the silicon interposer board is relatively thin, it warps significantly after mounting, making subsequent C2C assembly difficult. Ideally, the optical chip and electrical chip should be vertically stacked and then molded into a single unit before mounting. However, the optical port of the optical chip is easily contaminated or damaged during the molding process, so a special protective structure is needed at the optical port. Alternatively, die-attach adhesive (DA) can be used to cover the optical port. Fixing the electrical chip and optical port protection structure on the optical chip limits the area of ​​the electrical chip, affecting the overall performance of the optical module. If die-attach adhesive (DA) is used, it is difficult to clean completely, posing a risk of optical port contamination.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN112034567B discloses a photoelectric chip packaging structure and its packaging method. An electrical chip is placed on an optical chip. Before molding, a protective structure with grooves is attached to the optical chip to protect the optical port area. After mounting, a sealed cavity is formed. After molding, the back of the optical chip is thinned to expose the conductive plug, redistribution is fabricated, and solder balls are arranged. Finally, the chip is diced to expose the optical port. Mounting the protective structure reduces the surface space of the optical chip, limiting the area of ​​the electrical chip. Furthermore, adhesives, such as die-attach adhesive (DA), are typically used for mounting the protective structure, but adhesive overflow can occur, further reducing the usable space on the optical chip and further limiting the area of ​​the electrical chip. In addition, the sealed cavity formed within the protective structure after molding, after the optical chip is thinned and the conductive plug is exposed, presents a risk of silicon explosion due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cavity during the subsequent solder ball arrangement process.

[0058] Figures 1 to 10 A schematic diagram illustrating the process of forming a three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0059] When an optical chip is used as an adapter board, the methods for forming a three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure include:

[0060] Step 1, as follows Figure 1 As shown, a temporary bonding adhesive layer 102 is coated on the substrate 101.

[0061] Step 2, as follows Figure 2 As shown, a protective structure 103 and an optical chip 104 are mounted on a temporary bonding adhesive layer 102 at a certain spacing. A gap exists between the protective structure 103 and the optical chip 104. The optical chip 104 has been fabricated with through-silicon vias and front / back redistribution lines (RDLs). The optical port 1041 is located at the edge of the front side of the optical chip 104, and the optical port is opposite to the protective structure 103. The optical chip 104 is mounted on a carrier 101 with its front side facing upwards. The protective structure can be a plate-like or block-like structure with the same thickness as the optical chip, such as a dummy die.

[0062] Step 3, as follows Figure 3 As shown, an electrical chip 105 is flip-chip mounted on the optical chip 104, and a filler is formed between the optical chip 104 and the electrical chip 105. A portion of the electrical chip 105 extends beyond the gap and is located above the protective structure 103. The extended portion of the electrical chip has no transistors or circuitry.

[0063] Step 4, as follows Figure 4 and 5 As shown, a thin film layer 106 is formed by vacuum lamination process to cover the protective structure 103, the optical chip 104, and the electrical chip 105. The gap under the electrical chip 105 is blocked and will not be filled by the film. The protective structure 103, the optical chip 104, the electrical chip 105, the thin film layer 106, and the carrier 101 form a closed space to protect the optical port 1041.

[0064] Step 5, as follows Figure 6 and 7 As shown, a molding compound 107 is formed, and the molding compound 107 and thin film layer 106 located on the electrical chip 105 are thinned to expose the electrical chip 105. The molding compound 107 integrally molds and protects the structure 103, the optical chip 104, and the electrical chip 105. The thinning process includes chemical mechanical polishing, etching, or mechanical polishing.

[0065] Step 6, as follows Figure 8 and 9 As shown, the carrier 101 and the temporary bonding adhesive layer 102 are removed, and the electrical chip 105 is cut along the gap between the protective structure 103 and the optical chip 104 to expose the optical port. Then, solder balls are arranged on the redistribution RDL surface on the back of the optical chip 104.

[0066] Step 7, as follows Figure 10 As shown, the structure of the optical chip 104 and the electrical chip 105 packaged together is mounted on the substrate 108, and the optical fiber 109 is coupled to the optical port 1041 of the optical chip 104.

[0067] Figure 11 A schematic diagram of a three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure with fiber edge coupling according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0068] like Figure 11 As shown, the three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure formed by the above embodiments includes an optical chip 201, an electrical chip 202, an optical fiber 203, and a substrate 204.

[0069] The optical chip 201 has redistribution RDLs on both its front and back sides. Through-silicon vias (TSVs) are present in the optical chip 201 and are electrically connected to the redistribution RDLs. An optical port 2021 is located at the edge of the front side of the optical chip 201. Solder balls are disposed on the surface of the redistribution RDL on the back side of the optical chip 201.

[0070] The optical chip 201 is mounted upright on the substrate 204, with the front side facing upwards.

[0071] The electrical chip 202 is flip-chip mounted on the optical chip 201, with a primer filling the space between them. The electrical chip 202 and the optical chip 201 are electrically connected.

[0072] Optical fiber 203 is coupled to optical port 2021 of optical chip 201 from the side.

[0073] Figures 12 to 21 A schematic diagram illustrating the process of forming a three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0074] When an electronic chip is used as an adapter board, the methods for forming a three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure include:

[0075] Step 1, as follows Figure 12 As shown, a temporary bonding adhesive layer 302 is coated on the substrate 301.

[0076] Step 2, as follows Figure 13 As shown, a protective structure 303 and an electrical chip 304 are mounted on a temporary bonding adhesive layer 302 at a certain spacing. There are gaps between the protective structure 303 and the electrical chip 304. The electrical chip 304 has undergone through-silicon via (TSV) fabrication and front and back redistribution lines (RDLs). The electrical chip 304 is mounted on the carrier 101 with its front side facing upwards. The protective structure can be a plate-like or block-like structure with the same thickness as the electrical chip, such as a dummy die.

[0077] Step 3, as follows Figure 14 and 15 As shown, an optical chip 305 is flip-chip mounted on an electrical chip 304, and a filler is formed between the optical chip 305 and the electrical chip 304. A portion of the optical chip 305 extends beyond the gap and is positioned above the protective structure 303.

[0078] In one embodiment of the present invention, the front side of the optical chip 305 has an optical port 3051, the optical port 3051 is 0.08-0.3mm away from the edge of the optical chip, and the optical port 3051 is located above the protective structure 303. Corresponding to the edge coupling situation, as shown... Figure 14 As shown.

[0079] In another embodiment of the present invention, the front side of the optical chip 305 has an optical port 3051, the optical port 3051 is more than 0.2 mm away from the edge of the optical chip, and the optical port 3051 of the optical chip 305 is located above the gap, corresponding to the vertical coupling situation, such as... Figure 15 As shown.

[0080] Step 4: A thin film layer is formed by vacuum lamination process to cover the protective structure 303, the electrical chip 304, and the optical chip 305. The gap under the optical chip 305 is blocked and will not be filled by the film. The protective structure 303, the electrical chip 304, the optical chip 305, the thin film layer, and the carrier wafer form a closed space to protect the optical port.

[0081] Step 5, as follows Figure 16 and 17 As shown, a molding compound 306 is formed. The molding compound 306 and the thin film layer above the optical chip 305 are thinned to expose the optical chip 305. Then, the carrier 301 and the temporary bonding adhesive layer 302 are removed. The molding compound 306 integrally molds and protects the structure 303, the electrical chip 304, and the optical chip 305. The thinning process includes chemical mechanical polishing, etching, or mechanical polishing.

[0082] Step 6, as follows Figure 16 and 18 As shown, for the structure where the optical port is located above the protective structure 303, the structure after plastic encapsulation and thinning is cut, and the cutting line passes through the optical port, exposing the side of the optical waveguide of the optical port 3051.

[0083] Figure 16 The dicing line passes through the optical port area because the mounted optical chip 305 is a chip that has not been pre-cut to expose the side of the optical port waveguide. To prevent the flow of film material during vacuum lamination from contaminating the optical port area, a certain width of silicon (0.08–0.3 mm without transistors or circuitry) needs to be maintained between the optical port area and the edge of the optical chip during lamination. During dicing after debonding, the dicing line needs to pass through the optical port area to cut out the side of the waveguide for subsequent edge coupling with the optical fiber. In contrast, Figure 8 Since the optical port area is far from the film material, pre-cut optical chips can be used, and the optical port area is not cut during the cutting process.

[0084] In another embodiment of the invention, such as Figure 17 and 19As shown, for the structure where the optical port is located above the gap, the protective structure 303 is cut. The cut structure retains part of the molding layer and thin film layer above the protective structure 303. The space enclosed by the protective structure 303, the electrical chip 304, the optical chip 305 and the molding layer and thin film layer can only be entered through the gap between the protective structure 303 and the electrical chip 304.

[0085] Step 7, as follows Figure 18 and 19 As shown, solder balls are arranged on the surface of the redistribution RDL on the back of the electrical chip 304.

[0086] Step 8, as follows Figure 20 and 21 As shown, the structure that encapsulates the optical chip 305 and the electrical chip 304 together is mounted on the substrate 307, and the optical fiber 308 is coupled to the optical port of the optical chip 305. For side coupling, the optical fiber connects to the optical port from the side. For vertical coupling, the optical fiber extends from the gap between the protective structure 303 and the electrical chip 304 and connects to the optical port.

[0087] Figure 20 In this process, the side of the remaining protective structure connected to the molding compound is integrated with other parts of the encapsulation body, and the remaining protective structure will not fall off due to the lack of support below.

[0088] For cases where the electrical chip area is large enough (e.g., the electrical chip integrates a DSP), a process route can be adopted where a TSV is grown on the electrical chip, and then the optical chip is mounted on it. In this case, the pressure balance gap (the gap between the electrical chip and the protective structure) can also be used to insert optical fibers to achieve vertical coupling.

[0089] Figure 22 A schematic diagram of a three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure with fiber edge coupling according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0090] like Figure 22 As shown, the three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure formed by the above embodiments includes a substrate 401, an electrical chip 402, an optical chip 403, and an optical fiber 404.

[0091] The electrical chip 402 is disposed on the substrate 401.

[0092] The electrical chip 402 has redistribution RDLs on both its front and back sides, and has through-silicon vias (TSVs) electrically connected to the redistribution RDLs. Solder balls are disposed on the redistribution RDL surface on the back side of the electrical chip 402.

[0093] The optical chip 403 is flip-chip mounted on the electrical chip 402, with a base filler filling between them. The electrical chip 402 and the optical chip 403 are electrically connected. The front edge of the optical chip 403 has an optical port 4031.

[0094] Optical fiber 404 is coupled to the optical port of optical chip 403 from the side.

[0095] Figure 23 A schematic diagram of a three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure with vertical fiber coupling according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0096] like Figure 23 As shown, the three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure formed by the above embodiments includes a substrate 501, an electrical chip 502, an optical chip 503, an optical fiber 504, and a protective structure 505.

[0097] The electrical chip 502 and the protective structure 505 are arranged side by side on the substrate 501, and there is a gap between them.

[0098] The electrical chip 502 has redistribution RDLs on both its front and back sides, and has through-silicon vias (TSVs) electrically connected to the redistribution RDLs. Solder balls are disposed on the redistribution RDL surface on the back side of the electrical chip 502.

[0099] The optical chip 503 is flip-chip mounted on the electrical chip 502, with a base filler filling between them. The electrical chip 502 and the optical chip 503 are electrically connected. The front side of the optical chip 503 has an optical port 5031. A portion of the optical chip 503 extends beyond the gap and is located above the protective structure, with the optical port located above the gap.

[0100] Optical fiber 404 extends through the gap and couples with the optical port of optical chip 403.

[0101] The aforementioned three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure also includes a thin film layer, which covers the left and right sides of the optical chip 503, the upper surface of the protective structure 505, and the right side of the electrical chip 502.

[0102] It also includes the encapsulation layer, the portion covered by the encapsulation film layer.

Numerous variations, alternatives, and improvements will arise in those skilled in the art under the teachings of this invention without departing from its scope.
