Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chip manufacturing, and specifically discloses a method for copper coating a wafer bonding area. Background Art
[0002] One known solution, such as CN106170856A, pre-coats a sintering paste onto a copper bonding sheet. This paste is then applied to the chip bonding area, where it is pressure-sintered to form a bond between the chip and the pins. This process places stringent requirements on the size of the chip bonding area. Due to limitations in the adhesive coating process, it is not suitable for smaller bonding areas (typically less than 2mm x 2mm). This can lead to copper sheet drift, resulting in short circuits and operational inconvenience. Furthermore, adhesive coating is difficult on copper sheets with height differences.
[0003] Another known solution, such as TW202345248A, uses pre-coating on a copper sheet and, similarly, pressure sintering to the die bonding area. Due to the limitations of the pre-coating process, there are also size requirements for the die bonding area, making it unsuitable for smaller bonding areas. Furthermore, due to the characteristics of the pre-coated metal film, a protective film must be applied to the exposed side of the metal film after pre-coating to prevent damage or oxidation during the transfer process. This can lead to damage to the metal film and inconvenience during the subsequent removal process. Summary of the Invention

The injection temperature is controlled at 150-250° C., the time is 10-100 seconds, and the pressure is 10-60 MPa. S623. After injection molding is completed, use mechanical grinding or laser to clean the excess glue on the copper sheet.
6. The method for copper coating in the wafer bonding area according to claim 1, wherein: In step S2 , the thickness of the copper sheet is 100 μm-1000 μm, and the distance between the front surface of the copper sheet and the bottom of the groove is 10 μm-50 μm.
7. The method for copper coating in the wafer bonding area according to claim 1, wherein: In step S2 , the thickness of the first protective film is 25 μm-150 μm, and the material of the first protective film is PVC.
8. The method for copper coating in the wafer bonding area according to claim 1, wherein: In step S7 , the wafer is separated into individual chips by mechanical separation or laser separation according to the dicing lines of the wafer.
