Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radio frequency microsystems technology, and more specifically to a high-reliability, high-power, three-dimensional heterogeneous integrated radio frequency antenna microsystem. Background Technology

[0002] Satellite communication boasts advantages such as wide coverage, long transmission distance, and flexible and rapid network deployment. It can achieve near-seamless coverage in areas such as oceans, mountains, and plateaus, meeting the communication coverage needs of various users and thus possessing significant commercial value. In recent years, low-Earth orbit satellite communication systems have begun to provide high-speed satellite internet services to ordinary consumers, leading to a substantial increase in the number of consumers using satellite internet services. Satellite internet has become a global focus and one of the most sought-after industries.

[0003] As satellite payloads evolve towards miniaturization, integration, and multifunctionality, multifunctional electronic systems that integrate communication, sensing, and even computing functions are an inevitable trend for future development. This necessitates antennas with ultra-wideband characteristics. Ultra-wideband phased array antennas not only meet the ultra-wideband requirements of multi-band integration but also possess features such as rapid beam scanning, agile beamform, low profile, and strong anti-interference capabilities. Therefore, ultra-wideband phased array antennas have a very broad application prospect in the satellite field. With the continuous evolution of integrated circuit technology and advanced packaging processes, phased array antennas are developing towards millimeter-wave and higher frequency bands, fully utilizing the rich spectrum resources of high-frequency bands to improve the performance of electronic information equipment. Millimeter-wave phased array antenna technology is gradually showing trends towards low cost, chip-level integration, and wafer-level packaging. This highly integrated antenna-in-package (AIP) technology combines integrated circuit technology and advanced packaging processes, which can greatly reduce internal interconnection losses and significantly improve system energy efficiency.

[0004] The main components of a phased array antenna system include: antenna elements and array surfaces, T / R modules, beamforming network, power supply, beam control, and structural and thermal control components. Among these, the antenna elements are responsible for converting between radio frequency signals and spatial electromagnetic waves. Their operating bandwidth and radiation efficiency are crucial to the design of the entire phased array system; therefore, the appropriate antenna element type must be selected based on system requirements. The beamforming network is used to achieve the amplitude and phase distribution required by each element of the phased array antenna during beam scanning, and its implementation directly affects the overall system architecture of the phased array antenna.

[0005] On the other hand, Moore's law has approached the physical limit, but future electronic information systems will continue to develop towards higher integration, higher performance, higher operating frequency, etc. The traditional integrated packaging technology gradually cannot meet the integration requirements of new systems. The future technology development trend will be a combination of continuing Moore's law and surpassing Moore's law, realizing higher value systems-microsystems through three-dimensional heterogeneous integration.

[0006] As an advanced integrated packaging technology under the trend of system miniaturization, radio frequency microsystem integration technology has become a major basic technology leading the development of electronic information equipment and promoting the innovation of electronic technology. It is an important technical platform supporting the transformation of sensing and communication capabilities of electronic information equipment, and is also one of the core technologies of current electronic information technology research.

[0007] Radio frequency microsystems mainly target the miniaturization, lightweight, and multifunctional application requirements of integrated radio frequency front-ends and active arrays in fields such as 5G communication and the Internet of Things. Based on microelectronics, optoelectronics, MEMS, and other electronic components, microsystem heterogeneous integration process technologies represented by micro-nano processing technologies are combined with architecture, software, and algorithms to integrate radio frequency, digital, optoelectronic, energy, and other subsystems at high density, achieving significant reductions in radio frequency system size and power consumption, significant improvements in performance and reliability, and significant reductions in channel cost and life cycle cost. Radio frequency microsystem technology has wide applications in fields such as information technology, biology, medicine, industrial control, and consumer electronics.

[0008] Existing high-reliability high-power radio frequency microsystems are mainly based on integrated three-dimensional ceramic packaging architecture. Three-dimensional ceramic packaging serves as both a package and a heat sink structure. When performing three-dimensional heterogeneous integration, a cavity structure needs to be machined on the ceramic substrate for stacking multiple levels of bare chips. High-density bonding finger structures with narrow spacing need to be prepared around the cavity, which is difficult. In addition, due to the limited thermal conductivity of ceramic materials, the overall microsystem heat dissipation effect is generally poor, and only small and medium power radio frequency circuits can be integrated, which severely restricts the multifunctionality of radio frequency microsystems.

[0009] The existing high-reliability high-power radio frequency micro system adopts a traditional ceramic hermetic packaging process path of "ceramic substrate→ high-temperature soldering packaging frame→ parallel seam welding packaging cover plate", the process flow is complex, the process implementation is difficult, and the production efficiency and yield are not high. When the packaging frame is high-temperature soldered to the ceramic substrate, it is necessary to ensure that the cavity partition wall and the substrate are in good soldering state and have no leakage points; the multi-cavity packaging frame and the packaging cover plate need to be designed with multiple cap regions, cavity structures and step structures, and the linear cutting process is adopted during processing, which is difficult and low in precision, and the motor wheel needs to be accurately controlled during capping, which is difficult to control and is prone to welds, resulting in air leakage and signal leakage, affecting the hermeticity and electromagnetic shielding effect of the packaging.
