The bottom of the wafer 2 of the RX chip and the wafer 3 of the TX chip are fixedly mounted with a gold ball 1, the bottom of the gold ball 1 is mounted on the substrate PAD5, and the bottom of the substrate PAD5 is mounted on the substrate 6, that is, the wafer 2 of the RX chip and the wafer 3 of the TX chip are respectively mounted on the substrate 6 through the gold ball 1 and the substrate PAD5, and the bottom of the substrate 6 is mounted with a substrate bottom pin 7. The epoxy resin film 8 is packaged above the wafer 2 of the RX chip and the wafer 3 of the TX chip, and the epoxy resin film 8 wraps the back and four side surfaces of the wafer 2 of the RX chip and the wafer 3 of the TX chip and is bonded to the substrate 6 to achieve a sealing effect on the chip.

[0026] In this embodiment, two gold balls 1 are installed under the wafer 2 of the RX chip, and a substrate PAD5 is installed under each gold ball 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, three gold balls 1 are installed under the wafer 3 of the TX chip, and a substrate PAD5 is installed under each gold ball 1 .

[0028] In this embodiment, three pins 7 are provided at the bottom of the substrate, and the pins 7 at the bottom of the substrate are soldering pads. During specific implementation, the number, size and position of the soldering pads are designed according to actual needs.

[0029] The present invention designs independent RX functional areas and TX functional areas of a duplex SAW filter chip according to product electrical performance indicators. The RX functional area and the TX functional area are used as two small chips. The small chips are provided with pads. The number, size and position of the pads are designed according to actual needs.

[0030] The present invention also protects a packaging method for a duplex SAW filter, the method comprising the following steps: Step S1, wafer ball implantation, that is, implanting gold balls 1 on wafer 2 of the RX chip and wafer 3 of the TX chip, which specifically includes the following sub-steps: Step S1-1, using pure water to clean the wafers (including wafer 2 of the RX chip and wafer 3 of the TX chip) to remove dirt on the wafer surface, especially large particles of pollutants; Step S1-2, using argon and / or hydrogen as a gas source to perform plasma cleaning on the wafer to remove surface contaminants; Step S1-3: Use a gold ball implanting device and gold wire to implant gold balls on all pads of each chip on the surface of the wafer that need to be connected.

[0031] Step S2, wafer dicing, dividing a single RX chip or TX chip area on the wafer, which specifically includes the following sub-steps: Step S2-1, evenly apply photoresist on the surface of the wafer to protect it; Step S2-2, attaching a UV film 4 to the back of the wafer; Step S2-3, using a device to slice the wafer into a single RX chip or TX chip of a corresponding chip design size; Step S2-4, removing the photoresist on the surface of the wafer by cleaning; Step S2-5, dissolve the UV by using a dissolver.

[0032] Step S3, flip-chip bonding, flip the diced wafer, and the spacing between the RX chip and the TX chip packaged in parallel is determined according to the size of the RX chip, TX chip, the alignment accuracy of the equipment, and the thickness of the resin film that needs to be retained around the duplex SAW, while keeping the size of the finished product with complete duplex function unchanged after being placed in parallel. The RX chip and the TX chip can be designed on the same wafer or separately on different wafers according to actual requirements. During flip-chip bonding, the RX chip can be flipped first and then the TX chip, or the two chips can be flipped alternately at the same time. It specifically includes the following sub-steps: Step S3-1, using argon as a gas source to perform plasma cleaning on the wafer to remove surface contaminants; Step S3-2, using argon and / or oxygen as a gas source to perform plasma cleaning on the 1814-size substrate to remove surface contaminants; Step S3-3, first use the flip-chip equipment to suck up the chips on the wafer that implements the RX function one by one, then flip them over, and transfer them to the welding nozzle required for flip-chip. At this time, the ball bumps on the chip face downward and the back of the chip is sucked by the welding nozzle. The flip-chip equipment aligns the chip with the corresponding position on the substrate 6 and contacts the substrate 6. While applying a pressure of 5N~10N, 0.05W~0.15W ultrasonic power and 190℃~230℃ temperature, the ball bumps and the connection points on the substrate 6 are bonded in the form of solid solution, and at this time there is still a gap of 10-17um between the substrate 6 and the chip.

[0034] Step S4, applying epoxy resin film 8, by laminating the epoxy resin film to one side of substrate 6 with the flip-mounted chip under high temperature (usually between 150°C and 200°C), pressure (usually between 10MPa and 50MPa) and vacuum conditions through film laminating equipment, so that the chip is fully wrapped by epoxy resin film 8 and epoxy resin film 8 is bonded to substrate 6.

[0035] Step S5, using an oven to bake the substrate 6 with the epoxy resin film 8 at 150°C, so that the epoxy resin film 8 is fully bonded to the substrate 6 to achieve a sealing effect on the chip.

[0036] Step S6: Use a laser device to print the silk-screen layer 9 required for the product on the back of the chip wrapped with the epoxy resin film 8.

[0037] Step S7, substrate cutting, cutting the substrate 6, which specifically includes the following sub-steps: Step S7-1, attaching the side of the substrate 6 with the epoxy resin film 8 to the UV film 4; Step S7-2, cutting the substrate 6 into a size corresponding to the product by a cutting device; Step S7-3: After UV debonding, the chip is peeled off into monomers.

[0038] Step S8, product aging treatment. In this embodiment, a sealing test can be added before step S8, which specifically includes the following sub-steps: Step S8-1, the product is stored in a high temperature environment (usually between 150°C and 300°C) and a low temperature environment (usually between -50°C and 0°C) for 10 to 20 times. In specific implementation, the number of high and low temperature cycles and the high temperature storage time can be adjusted according to actual needs; Step S8-2: Store the product in a high temperature environment (usually between 150°C and 300°C) for 8H to 10H.

[0039] Step S9: sort and test the products according to product indicators and package them into final products. In this embodiment, a sealing test can be added before step S9.

[0040] The present invention splits the duplex SAW into an RX chip and a TX chip, and packages them together in parallel, thereby solving the open circuit problem that often occurs in the duplex SAW packaging industry, while maintaining the complete electrical performance and overall packaging size of the duplex SAW unchanged.
